* When our heroes are going to visit the halfling Brenatto family, Beau claims they will "smash down their door, eat all the food, break all their dishes", which is a subtle reference to the "what Bilbo Baggins hates" song from ''Literature/TheHobbit''.

** When Taliesin figures out that he is playing his seven year old self, specifically because it was how old he was when he starred in ''Film/MrMom'', his immediate reaction is to quote himself from that film. The specific quote, "Can I have a moment to myself, please?", was also talked about in a Q&A panel he did in 2016; he apparently [[ThrowItIn improvised]] that line because he forgot his original line, and it is said to be a fairly accurate portrayal of how he talked as a child.
