* NoodleImplements: The "Special Stuff" that butcher Hilary Briss sells. It's never revealed what type of meat it is (although WordOfGod has confirmed that it isn't [[ImAHumanitarian human meat]] because the writers thought that was too mundane) but it is clearly immoral, illegal, highly addictive and prone to cause fatal nosebleeds if overindulged in.

* GainaxEnding: Jeremy Dyson is revealed to be alive and in hospital at the end of the film, with the implication that (at least a majority) of the events of the movie was just a dream. Although everyone in the world is revealed to have tails, a callback to a pitch he made to Reece Shearsmith over the phone at the beginning of the movie in which he wanted a plotline in which the Royston Vasey characters have tails. The film just ends there, with no explanation if the movie's events did happen or if Dyson is trapped in some other reality.

** Mr. Kenny Harris' love of dogs goes far beyond a gimmick for his cinema, in fact, it's so intense that it makes the Denton's toad obsession look negligible by contrast.
