1* ActorAllusion: Multiple:
2** When Kevin and Patrick are coming up with archetype ideas for their game in "Looking for Results", Patrick mocks Kevin by suggesting a "lusty lads of London" card, to which Kevin replies by pointedly suggesting "farm boy with big ideas". This is a clear allusion to Jonathan Groff, who was raised on a farm.
3** Patrick claims "bad things happen when I get behind a microphone" in TheMovie, which is particularly funny considering Jonathan Groff is a Grammy-winning singer known for his work in the original casts of Broadway musicals such as ''Theatre/SpringAwakening'' and ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.
4** Dom tells Patrick to "come back down from the mountains and live with us happily ever after" in TheMovie, which could be a reference to the fact that Jonathan Groff voices mountain man Kristoff in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''.
5* ActorSharedBackground:
6** Raúl Castillo and his character Richie are both of Mexican descent.
7** Frankie J. Alvarez and his character Agustín are both from Miami.
8** Russell Tovey and his character Kevin are from close-by London towns (Billericay and Romford, respectively).
9* FakeAmerican: Murray Bartlett (Dom) is Australian and Creator/OTFagbenle (Frank) is English.
10* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Christine Estabrook, who plays the realtor who [[spoiler: walks in on Patrick and Kevin talking dirty]] in "Looking for Sanctuary", played Jonathan Groff's mother in the original cast of ''Theatre/SpringAwakening''.
11* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Several gay actors play gay characters, including (but not limited to) Creator/JonathanGroff (Patrick), Creator/RussellTovey (Kevin), Creator/MurrayBartlett (Dom), Creator/DanielFranzese (Eddie), and Chris Perfetti (Brady).
