* AluminumChristmasTrees: Yes, soup cakes like the one Astarte makes in Week 4 actually exist. They're a lot better than they sound, too, and far from the weirdest cakes out there (a few recipes from the early 1940s include ''salt pork'').

* GeniusBonus: The multiversal Denny's may seem fairly random, but besides being a theater kid hangout, the name "Denny's" derives from Dionysus, the Greek God of wine, madness...and theater.

* AscendedMeme: After Billy makes a Hook-having-syphilis remark to the Balladeer, the latter turns and mouths it to the audience [[spoiler:during Hook's execution,]] at which point the joke had already spiralled into an out-of-universe meme.



* MemeticMutation: Accusing Hook of having syphilis, after Billy Harris does it and Astarte doesn't understand that it was a joke.
** AccidentalMisnaming by the narration. Since autocorrect keeps changing uncommon names, after enough weeks of every single phone-tagger calling characters things like Hands, Winston, and Home, it became an OOC joke that the mastermind was behind it and/or doesn't know the Cast's names.
