* HilariousInHindsight: When [[Series/TheTonightShow Jimmy Fallon and the Roots]] appear, one familiar face who couldn't make it is keyboard meister James - who ends up going through something very similar when they do "Thank-You Notes", and Jimmy goads him into {{corpsing}} ''every single time.''
* JustHereForGodzilla: Celebrity appearances drive much of the nostalgia for the show, with the most popular official episode uploads on [=YouTube=] being for Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestlers, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots, and the Jersey Shore cast. Much of the press in 2020 for the official episode uploads focus on the rock acts featured on the show like All Time Low. The actual format still has its fans, with various [=YouTubers=] like the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} putting on their own version of the show.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: For the MTV version: Having peak Bieber Fever Music/JustinBieber, the cast of Jersey Shore, and of the era sports and wrestling stars on the show already puts the show firmly in the 2010s. But even more so is the sheer amount of 2010s pop punk and "neon pop" acts like Music/AllTimeLow, Music/ThreeOhThree, Music/NeverShoutNever, Music/TheReadySet, Hey Monday (featuring future season 3 winner of Series/TheVoice Cassadee Pope), Music/ForeverTheSickestKids, and more.
