7 Unsaid Facts of My Name Is Earl Episode 3 – Randy’s Touchdown
1) When Earl purchases the donuts from the vending machine, he mistakenly presses “5,5”; however, the donuts are actually located at B4, and the 55 he entered is the price listed for those donuts.
2) In this episode, Earl accomplishes the following tasks on his list. #58 – Resolved a high school football game. #260 – Removed Randy’s touchdown. It’s uncertain whether Earl marks this one off his list, although Randy strongly believes he should.
3) Ethan Suplee has portrayed a football player before; he took on this role in the film Remember the Titans (2000).
4) At the copy shop, Randy is holding up a piece of paper that reads “High Def Rules.”
5) During the initial flashback of Randy’s football game, the scoreboard visible behind Earl indicates that the visiting team has 13 points. However, as the game nears it’s conclusion, with Earl standing and signaling to Randy not to score a touchdown, the scoreboard reflects that the visiting team has dropped to only 10 points.
6) Electricity needs two contact points to travel. When the impound crew switches on the electrified fence with Earl and Randy on it, they only establish one point of contact, meaning they wouldn’t be electrocuted. Additionally, if it were to electrocute them, they wouldn’t be thrown off; instead, their muscles would contract, leading them to grip the fence more firmly.
7) Randy mentioned that he wagered $3000 on his game, which he intended to use to get Earl’s car back. However, where did this $3000 come from, and why didn’t Earl and Randy just use that amount to pay for the car’s release ?
