Songs:
"It Was a Shit Show" (sung by Santino Fontana)

"We Tapped That Ass" (sung by Santino Fontana and Vincent Rodriguez III)
- Continuity Nod: Xander from "I'm Going on A Date With Josh's Friend!" pops in partway through just to remind us that he also tapped that ass.
- Lame Pun Reaction: At one point while singing about how they used to "tap that ass," Greg and Josh starts tap-dancing on top of a giant plastic ass. And then, when Rebecca gives them a Death Glare, Greg innocently asks, "what? Too cheeky?"
- Making Love in All the Wrong Places: The song is one long list of the many and unexpected places in her house that Rebecca has had sex in. Apparently justified by her bed being really uncomfortable.
- Pastiche: Of "Moses Supposes" from Singin' in the Rain and also "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" from South Pacific.
