Trivia / No Place Like Home

• Acting for Two: Almost all of the principal actors play more than one role. Tom, the Wizard, and the Wicked Witch are the exceptions.
• Actor Allusion: The Scarecrow's G.E.D. is in fact Cicierega's own diploma; he merely read it on-camera, replacing his name with "the Scarecrow" and "Massachusetts" with "Oz".
• And Starring: "And introducing Ryan Murphy". Parodied, though, as this not only isn't Ryan's first acting credit, but it isn't even his first "introducing" credit.
• Dyeing for Your Art: In the great Tin Man tradition, the Robot costume was almost impossible to move in, and Kevin could not sit down at any point while wearing it, only lean.
• Production Posse: Ryan, Neil, & Kevin from Guaranteed* Video, with lots of their recurring collaborators: Patrick Ryan, J.L. Carrozza, Lauren Mack, Sean Murphy, Max Pacheco, Julie Becker, Emmy Cicierega, and Alora Lanzillotta.
• Reality Is Unrealistic: When the Lion fights the Witch's minions, the actors are using real swords, and all of the clashing noises are camera sound.
• Shout-Out:
  • Tom is blatantly an Expy of Tom Waits.
  • The score when Tom is first wandering through Oz is based on The Dark Side of the Moon.
  • The Witch's song sequence is an homage to Tim Curry's number in The Worst Witch.
  • When the Wizard is making up new tasks for the heroes, he mentions the Shrine of the Silver Monkey.
• The Danza: Jake Quilty-Dunn as Jake Quilty-Dunn.
