Trivia / Shipwrecked Comedy

• Brother–Sister Team: Sean and Sinead Persaud write and star in most of the company's works.
• The Cast Showoff: The Case of the Gilded Lily gave Mary Kate Wiles a chance to perform in-character as nightclub singer Vivian Nightingale, and even released two in-characters songs separately.
• Copiously Credited Creator: Each of the four members have multiple jobs on each project:
  • Sean: Writer, actor, producer
  • Sinead: Writer, actor, producer, costumer
  • Sarah: Actor, producer, costumer
  • Mary Kate: Actor, producer, costumer
• Costume Porn: As seen above in Copiously Credited Creator — the women of Shipwrecked are all very crafty, and most of the videos are an excuse to show off gorgeous period attire they've created or acquired.
• Creator Couple: Sean and Mary Kate have been a couple since approximately 2014 and married in 2023.
• Creator's Oddball: "The Arbitration" consists of Shipwrecked and Tin Can Bros pointing out that the sketch in question is this for both of them. Shipwrecked doesn't usually trade in toilet humor, and Tin Can Bros doesn't do material with literary themes. This leads to the reveal that neither of them wrote it.
• Dawson Casting: Almost the entire cast of "American Whoopee" is 20- and 30-somethings playing high school students. This might be part of the point since it is a parody of teen comedies that typically play this trope straight.
• Production Posse: Shipwrecked itself is an example, but they also frequently work with director William Joe Stribling, composer Dylan Glatthorn, cinematographer Alex Gallitano, and actors such as Joey Richter, Blake Silver, Jessica Jade Andres, Lauren Lopez, and Christopher Higgins, who has both acted and been the behind-the-scenes photographer for numerous projects.
• Real-Life Relative: Sean and Sinead Persaud are brother and sister. Amusingly, despite the strong family resemblance, some new viewers seem to think that the two are either married or otherwise unrelated.
• Romance on the Set: Mary Kate and Sean met while filming Kissing in the Rain. They later married in 2023.
  • Kissing in the Rain itself is a meta commentary on this trope, teasing us with the question of whether or not the actors' onstage chemistry will translate to real-life romance.
• Sequel in Another Medium: The Case of the Greater Gatsby is a podcast sequel to The Case of the Gilded Lily.
• What Could Have Been: Shipwrecked wanted to include Johnny Kickstarter, a character created for the Gilded Lily Kickstarter video, in the film itself, but the actor was unavailable.
