** On one Halloween episode, the categories were 'Scary Musos', 'Scary Classical', 'Scary Pop', and '[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Scary]] [[Music/SpiceGirls Spice]]'.

** Also the fact that the entire episode is effectively one massive rickroll.

** One time he played one introduction off another: after introducing Divinyls frontwoman Chrissie Amphlett as the third member of Alan's team by saying "''Responsible for songs such as "Boys in Town". "Science Fiction", & "I Touch Myself"''", he introduces the third member of Myf's team with "''Our final guest is the mother of two teenage sons. She knows all the boys in town, can't understand their obsession for science fiction, and wishes they'd stop touching themselves!''".

She knows all the boys in town, can't understand their interest in science fiction, and wishes they'd stop touching themselves!''".

* Frank Woodley re-enacting Little Nell's WardrobeFailure during a performance of ''Theatre/TheRockyHorrorShow'', which she had revealed earlier in the episode, & Adam holding up a screen to obscure Frank's nip-slip.

* When Alan Brough, of all people, [[EpicFail forgot]] [[Music/{{Nirvana}} sang Smells Like Teen Spirit. And it was a Final Countdown question, so his team lost a point for it.

* Frank Woodley performing a song in a very, very small swimsuit, which completely failed to cover him.

** Earlier, during a round of Sir Mix and Matchalot, Alan rattled off all the answers in quick succession, followed by Cal saying [[TabletopGame/{{Cluedo}} 'Miss Scarlet in the library with the candlestick']], to which Alan replied, "Yeah, but I've got [[ADateWithRosiePalms no idea what she's doing.]]"

* When Shaun Diviney submitted his stories for the "What's the Story" round, he misunderstood the requirements and submitted two lies and a truth instead of a lie, a half-truth and a complete truth. As a result, the answer listed as a half-truth was actually a complete lie. When Shaun confessed to this error, it resulted in sheer slack-jawed bewilderment from Alan, while Adam's expression can only be described as the human equivalent of Kermit the Frog's [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/4/43/SheeshFace.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20230302014722 "scrunch face"]]. This half of the round soon [[EpicFail falls apart completely]] as it becomes clear that Shaun's "Truth" answer is more of an AmbiguousSituation, backed up only by a random anecdote from his grandfather, so it's entirely concievable that ''none of his answers were true at all''.

* In episode 3, Microsoft using “Start Me Up” by Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} at a product launch is brought up. Adam follows up a clip of it by thinking that Microsoft were [[WereStillRelevantDammit trying too hard to be “hip”]] and mentioning what might’ve happened at the Apple launch. Cue a repeat of a clip of Tom Ballard’s tap-dancing class played earlier into the episode.

* One of the clues for the first "Secret Song" is the video background loading songs by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2T7wKdQsTo Rick Springfield]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYHxGBH6o4M Rick James]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p47fEXGabaY Ricky Martin]] during "Know Your Product" instead of the requested clips, thus "[[{{Pun}} rickrolling]]" the teammates.

** It is brought up later when Mitch sings “You’re The Voice” by John Farnham during a round of Substitute as his final song, except he is singing [[EpicFail the translated rendition he performed on the Got Talent semi-final]], rather than singing a book to the tune of it. Knowing it was a joke, Kate [=McLennan=] guesses it incorrectly as “Two Strong Hearts”.

* In the 2000s Music special, the Music/OKGo video for "Here it Goes Again" is brought up, along with the fact that it took the band 21 takes, only three of which got the choreography right. Adam says that they don't have any footage of the 18 failed takes, but shows us a montage of treadmill-related AmusingInjuries to give us an idea of what they probably looked like.

* In episode 8, Adam Hills plays a clip of dingoes howling while Mitch Tambo’s 2019 Australia’s Got Talent semi-final performance plays on a TV, solely to poke fun of his singing skills.

* In episode 2, “Look What They’d Done To My Song, Ma” is played by a Super Mario Bros-like 8-bit computer game (soundtracked by MIDI covers of popular songs converted to chiptune) featuring animated versions of the regular hosts.
