* {{Satire}}: When asked why capitalism didn't solve the issue of the butter crisis, Gary manages to make a satirical jab at capitalism with this line:
--> Tom: So why did this not get resolved by "the free hand of capitalism"?
--> Gary: Because the free hand of Capitalism had too much butter on it, it was all slippy and couldn't grip it.

* ShoutOut:
** As per usual, ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' ruleset of determining the price of an item is used here, in this case, the cost of imported butter into Norway.
** The Ark of Taste gets riffed on by Gary, by comparing it to the Ark of the Covenant from Indiana Jones.
* TakeThat: According to Chris (and Gary, who had clearly thought of the same joke), when told that Imported Lurpak into Norway was about £34, Chris quips that's about the cost of Lurpak Butter in "Sainho's"[[note]]shortening of Sainsbury's, a British supermarket[[/note]] now.
