  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: Defendo, the Canadian martial art Ken learned in the army, sounds like something made-up as part of the show's many Canuck jokes. In actuality, it's a Real Life form of self-defense invented in The '40s and became a must-learn for Canadian soldiers and law-enforcement.
  • Just Here for Godzilla:
    • The show caught the eye of many once word got out that Shrek himself made an appearance.
    • Another major draw of the show is the fact that it happens to be Mike Myers first major role in over a decade.
  • Memetic Mutation: One scene where Mike is being pursued by Bigfoot went viral on Twitter when Shrek came to his rescue. It was quickly shared due to the character already being a Memetic Badass in his own right, him being an Unexpected Character, as well as praise for Mike Myers for still being able to portray the character after so many years.
    • "Thanks, Shrek!"
  • Special Effect Failure: Bruce Baldwin and Anthony falling to their deaths is clearly Mike Myers and a Fake Shemp wiggling around on a green-screen.
  • Unexpected Character: While he is one of Myers' most famous roles, few actually expected Shrek himself to appear in the series.
