* LogoJoke: The Videletrix logo is a runner tripping, falling, and giving a thumbs-up to a beepy little tune. In Peasant's Quest he has a sword and shield. When he fails to give a thumbs-up after falling, the tune beeps again as though to prompt him, but all that happens is his foot twitches a little--he apparently impaled himself.

* MythologyGag: After the sbemail "for kids", which featured Strong Bad playing the game, aired on the site, the commands "make friends with Kerrek" and "buy Kerrek a cold one" (which Strong Bad uses in the sbemail) were added to the game. The first one results in the message "Look, it didn't work for Strongbad [sic] and it's not going to work for you, either", while the second results in "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your offer. Now you've really cheesed him off." and causes the Kerrek to speed up.
