* The school band, not knowing the US national anthem, plays the theme tune from ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'' instead. The Australians are mortifed... but the US Ambassador [[ActuallyPrettyFunny hides a smirk]].

* When the ambassador asks to listen to Apollo 11, the team fakes it using walkie talkies in the next room rather than admit they lost the signal. Then Rudy hears this on his walkie talkie and thinks it's really Armstrong talking. Later, the ambassador says it sounded like Armstrong was "next door."
* The team complains about not being taken seriously while playing cricket on top of the dish.
* Len's ServileSnarker comments to his boss, the mayor.
--> '''Mayor''': Do you remember what they said when I first proposed this thing?

** He brags to his sister about how NASA even gave him a gun but begs her not to tell their mum otherwise she'd come down and take it off him. Also involves some meta-humour; if you look at the trigger, it's pretty obvious that the gun in question is being [[SpecialEffectsFailure played by a water-pistol.]] Presumably it was much cheaper to do that than to employ an armourer to take care of a gun that is never once used on-screen.
