Shout Outs are not Trivia. Neither Stock footage for that matter.


* ShoutOut
** The host of the YourMom competition calls someone "[[MCHammer Hammer]]".
** When one of the group members fell, he said that [[{{Memes/Advertising}} he fell, and he can't get up.]]
* StockFootage: In the scene where Harry finds a car, the group shouts, "Oh, shit!" And then they replay it backwards. Also, the scene where Nikki flees and screams is played at least twice.
