- The story was originally about Rogen's character and students in a frat, too similar to Old School, so it became him and his wife; it was Rogen's wife's suggestion.
- The two houses are in the West Adams district of Los Angeles.
- The film was originally called Townies.
- In the opening sex scene the baby kept turning around to look, so they ad-libbed the whole thing.
- The final scene was completely improvised; its location is debated between the Grove and Hollywood Boulevard.
- Unconfirmed: Efron broke his hand in the fight scene with Franco.
- Efron's Wikipedia page lists treatment in early 2013, sobriety since June 2013, a wired jaw in November 2013 after a fall, and a March 2014 Skid Row fight with no arrests.
