Trivia: The three main characters (Seth, Evan and Fogell) are actually based on the film's writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and their close friend Fogell.

Trivia: Actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse was only 17 during the filming of the movie, creating some problems with shooting due to child labor laws. During pre-production, he was not allowed to see certain props or items from the film (such as Seth's phallic drawings), and his sex-scene had to be very carefully monitored and edited, as certain "actions" (such as too much skin, certain types of movements or positions, etc.) would violate the law.

Trivia: The scene where Seth and Evan are taken to the other party, where crazy events (the woman with her period, the fight, the drugs, etc.) take place is based on a real party that writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg went to when they were teenagers.

Trivia: Whenever we see any of Seth drawing the phallic pictures in the flashback, the hands we see drawing in closeups are actually the hands of a small-proportioned woman, because child labor laws wouldn't permit the child-actors to see or draw the pictures. The same holds true for the over-the-shoulder closeup of young Becca looking at the picture.

Continuity mistake: When the fake ID is first seen in the movie, the back of the ID is blank white. But later on when it is seen again, the back of the ID has black print all over it. (00:24:15 - 00:40:20)
