** That's another MythologyGag, this time, to ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'': knowing robots have a weakness to these was how [=GLaDOS=] and Chell attempted to [[spoiler: take down Wheatley after he took over the facility-- his stupidity made him immune to it]].
** It is also a StealthInsult because for how [[TooDumbToLive much of a moron Claptrap is]] [[DontExplainTheJoke he is still]] [[spoiler: smarter than Wheatley]].
** It also means that [[spoiler:when [=GLaDOS=] suggested using paradoxes to attack Wheatley, she was employing what she considered to be an incredibly simple trap because she considered him too stupid to reason his way out of it, only to have overestimated his intelligence anyway.]]
** [[spoiler:Of course, the big irony of the whole thing is that the paradox in question - "Everything I say is a lie" - is not even a real paradox. It's an automatic lie by default]].

* Sometimes after completing a tournament, Winslow rewards you with a potion that after three sips, you will fall asleep until the next tournament. The Player takes the sips, and passes out. When they wake up, it appears that many years have passed, as everyone (Even [[UpToEleven GLADOS]]) has beards, and the aliens have invaded, but shortly after, you pass out, and Ash reveals it was just a prank.

* A nice hidden ShoutOut comes when Claptrap hangs a huge [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] on Sam's VocalEvolution:
-->'''Claptrap:''' Am I eating crazy chips, or did you use to have a different voice?\\
'''Sam:''' You mean more like this? "Hell-loo!"\\
'''Claptrap:''' That's it! What happened to it?\\
'''Sam:''' Criminals used to laugh at me. They said my [[Videogame/SamAndMaxHitTheRoad voice]] was too [[Creator/BillFarmer goofy]]. So I got a voice coach. And now, when I say "Freeze, dirtbags!", the dirtbags really freeze!
** Followed by the reveal that the reason why Max's voice is different is because he couldn't get enough of his Creator/JasonAlexander impression, so it stuck.
-->'''Max:''' And hey, what is the DEAL with Antipasta? Does it blow up when it touches regular pasta? I mean c'mon!
