* While playing ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', the discussion somehow got onto ''Franchise/LooneyTunes''. James noted that it's more difficult to watch the series than it was in the '80s and '90s when it was on broadcast networks that everyone got. Mike had an idea of how to introduce it to new viewers: Have a random cartoon come on during a video game. James said that would be a good way to get people to ''hate Looney Tunes''; Mike clarified that he meant a hidden cartoon in the game itself, but James took it to mean that while playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', it just randomly cuts to a ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon that the kids are forced to watch before it goes back to the game. At this point, the two are laughing hysterically at such a bizarre scenario.

* The SNES Variety Pack had a part where they played ''The Flintstones: Treasure of the Sierra Madrock''. Spurred by the title, James mentions that he wants to see ''Film/TheTreasureOfTheSierraMadre''. Mike then says that if James wanted to ask Humphrey Bogart if he ever played the ''Flintstones'' game. Until James looked it up, both are unaware that Bogart died over 30 years before the SNES made its debut, ''and'' three years before ''The Flintstones'' was even a thing.
