** Steve vs Joe had Steve not wearing his iconic green striped shirt in favor of a salmon-colored shirt, which ended up being one of the many reasons for the battle's backlash. Years later, the previously-thought-to-be-lost pilot for Blue's Clues, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dLUyVYpgIk&t=124s "Blue's Prints,"]] was released to the public...and it depicted Steve in a salmon-colored shirt!

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: More than a few early episodes had characters use words like "yolo" and "swag", which automatically date the videos back to the early 2010's. In addition, the usage of characters such as [[WebVideo/YourFavoriteMartian Puff Puff]], Slenderman, Jeff the Killer, and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic bronies]] also make it fairly obvious that a majority of the older episodes were released in 2013 when said characters were at the peak of their relevance/popularity.

* AbsenteeActor: Justin and Nathan are the two "main" rappers, being the ones to start the series, but naturally they don't always appear in every battle. Nathan in particular is known for appearing in less battles over time, and frequently providing only his vocals while someone else does the body acting. Eventually, both quit the series.
* DudeNotFunny: His jokes about Terry's leg border on this. Insulting Terry for dying of cancer and not being able to finish the Marathon of Hope is ''definitely'' this.
