** A Facebook video promoting the video release used it to remind people to change their windshield wiper blades regularly. The capper is that the words “WASH ME” have been scrawled in the queen’s blood before the wipers hit.

* David makes perhaps the most meta joke in a movie ''ever'' this side of ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' when the aliens begin trashing London:
-->'''David''': They like to get the landmarks.
** Becomes a BrickJoke later on in the movie: when the harvester ship takes off after the queen dies there's a shot of Paris, which has apparently been entirely leveled with the exception of the Eiffel Tower.
* Meta-Example: this [[http://youtu.be/kCqaElFZUIw Earth Day PSA]] with Creator/JeffGoldblum in character as David Levinson.
-->"I got some handy tips on how we can all help save the Earth. So, you know, it's not always just up to...to me, by myself."
* Meta-example: [[http://youtu.be/SyEcjLFZ0Q8 Jeff Goldblum meeting...David Levinson]], proving that they are not the same person.
** Further, they have a hard time seeing why folks get them mixed up. They note that they do wear the same style of glasses, and Jeff makes a point to tell David that his eyes look like "[[ButHeSoundsHandsome a glass of brandy, on a table as the sun comes in the window at sunset...]]"
** Also, David has no idea what movies Jeff Goldblum has been in, and keeps making off-target guesses, such as getting him mixed up with [[Film/NineToFive Dabney Coleman.]]
* Another possible meta-example: When the alien Harvester ship lands, its massive strut crushes much of Washington D.C., heading straight for the White House...and stops just short of crushing it. That's right: For once, the White House ''survives'' a Roland Emmerich movie!
** There's an audible "tink" noise when a tiny piece of the ship knocks over an American flag, at least!
** Not so in a deleted scene: a landing strut impales the White House.

* When everyone goes inside the ship Jake's piloting taking them to the moon, Floyd refuses to go and insist they remain in the Congo village. Until Umbutu's men surround him threateningly. He takes a seat.
