** ''Quality Time'', Jim's 2019 special, is not appearing on Netflix as usual, instead going to Amazon Prime. Needless to say, Netflix-only subscribers were not pleased.

** Possibly lampshaded in advance in ''Obsessed''. He jokes that his wife told him donuts aren't appropriate for use in a trail mix and says that he's just on a different trail...one that leads to the emergency room.
-->'''Jim''': That joke'll be even funnier when I die of cardiac arrest.

Funny enough, he called Ronald [=McDonald=] a "pedophile clown" in the same show yet he's the relatively innocent one of the two fast food spokesmen.

He then plays the hypothetical role of a customer calling in because his penis is still really tiny. According to American Greed, this is actually how Extenze made the bulk of its money back when it was owned by Longitude.

** At one point, Jim mocks the mascot Ronald [=McDonald=], referring to him as a "[[MemeticMolester pedophile clown]] from the '70s." Jim would later go on to play Colonel Sanders in UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken commercials.
** When listing off things that [=McDonald=]'s has taught people, he says that [=McDonald=]'s taught people that breakfast ends at 10:30. However, in 2015, [=McDonald=]'s launched an all-day breakfast menu, meaning breakfast no longer stops at 10:30.

** In "Obsessed", he makes a jab at Whole Foods for their food being too expensive. After he hypothetically runs out of money, he says he'll put the rest of his groceries on his Amazon wish list. Amazon would later purchase Whole Foods in June of 2017, possibly making Jim's joke a reality in the future.

** Throughout his specials, Jim will comment on how crazy having kids is. In ''Beyond the Pale'' and ''King Baby'', he mentions having two and three kids respectively. It gets funnier when you listen to ''Mr. Universe'' where he says having a fourth child is like "you're drowning and someone hands you a baby" and finally in ''Obsessed'' he announces he and his wife had a '''fifth''' child.
