* The comically unsuitable "party mix" Daisy puts on for the housewarming party includes "[[Music/DonMcLean American Pie]]" - not only is the subject matter of the song a little bleak for party background music, but the unstated joke is that the LP version [[EpicRocking is over eight minutes long]], which could feel like an eternity in the context of an already awkward social gathering.

Uhh, the lady has in way way been made up to look like Jar Jar... unless there's a scene I missed of him wearing a black headband and a yellow & black blouse. Absolutely no idea what the troper who wrote that was thinking.

* Even after several viewings, I couldn't understand how Tim's fear of bamboo in ''{{Spaced}}'' had anything to do with his fear of dogs and lightning (being an UsefulNotes/AmericanEnglish watching a UsefulNotes/BritishEnglish series didn't help) until it hit me... when told he had Canophobia (fear of dogs), young Tim thought it meant he had a fear of bamboo ''canes!''
