** Grown adults becoming obsessed with a kid's show might have seemed ridiculous at the time, before shows like ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls|1998}}'', ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', ''Anime/SailorMoon'' made adult fanbases for kid's shows far more common.

** Stanley Spadowski's gangling physical appearance, lovably goofy CloudCuckoolander personality, and tendency to chuckle idly to himself make him seem remarkably like a prototype of Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. What's more, the similarities between the two characters are apparently purely coincidental, since Stanley has never been acknowledged as an inspiration by the show's creator.

Added DiffLines:

** George hires Stanley Spadowski as his new janitor, minutes after he was [[KickTheDog unfairly fired]] by RJ. Mind you, Channel 62 is facing bankruptcy and George may not have enough money to pay Stanley, but his small act of kindness would [[KarmicJackpot pay off]] for both Stanley and Channel 62.

** Younger viewers probably have no idea what the film's title even means, since things like VHF and UHF broadcasting are obsolete in this day and age. Independent UHF stations were common in the 1980s in many American TV markets, especially in large metro areas. The closest equivalent in TheNewTens would have the characters running a popular Youtube channel or similar.

Added DiffLines:

* TokenRomance: George and Teri. Teri could probably be cut from the movie entirely, really, as she feels wildly out of place in the film's absurdist WorldOfHam.

** The same happens in the Latin American Spanish dub, except it was replaced with "Hey Gandhi!" instead.

** The same happens in the Latin American Spanish dub, except it was replaced with "Hey Gandhi!" instead. It should be noted, however, that the people addressing Gandhi does this in a very aggresive tone, implying that they were planning to kill him first, hence Ghandi's response.
