* In Episode 54, there's a fair few jokes about the Inland Revenue and how no one's pleased to see the taxman. Alexander Scaplehorn, the statement giver, goes on at length about how he had a great time teaching the apparent proprietor of a taxidermy shop (whom listeners will be able to recognise as ''bad news'') all about doing his taxes, and even after his terrifying experience of catching a glimpse of a monster in the basement, realising that the proprietor has glass eyes like all the stuffed animals and seeing the animals ''start to move,'' after fleeing the shop he doesn't call the police -- "After all, whatever all that... ''other stuff'' was, they weren't laundering money."

Alexander Scaplehorn, the statement giver, goes on at length about how he had a great time teaching the proprietor of a taxidermy shop (whom listeners will be able to peg as ''bad news'') all about money laundering, and even after his terrifying experience of catching a glimpse of a monster in the basement, realising that the owner has glass eyes like all the stuffed animals and seeing the animals ''start to move,'' he doesn't call the police -- "After all, whatever all that...

* Episode 103 is about a vineyard owner's experience with a monster pig serving as an animal avatar of the Flesh, and how it tormented and eventually ate some of his pigs. After recounting his harrowing tale, he evidently wanted to send along Gertrude and Jerrod Keay with a good meal...and decided to offer them bacon. He then seemed surprised when they understandably didn't want to partake.

* The Patreon exclusive feed features a full episode of Georgie's "What The Ghost" podcast[[note]]Later released to the public feed[[/note]]... complete with fake stereotypical podcast ads, which Georgie reads ''extremely'' reluctantly.
** One of the sponsors is "Sparks Fly", a dating site that is [[VillainsOutShopping pretty clearly run by the]] [[GreaterScopeVillain Beholding]]:
--->'''Georgie:''' ''[reading the ad, shocked]'' "Sparks Fly: privacy is just another word for loneliness"?!
** The next "What The Ghost" episode features more cringey ads, especially one for a meat subscription service which Georgie reads with [[BlatantLies very forced enthusiasm]], after which she reminds the listeners that she's a vegetarian. Melanie likes it, but recalls that she's [[spoiler:on the road to becoming a TranshumanAbomination embodying violence at this point]].

** Artifact storage have put up a [=#HauntedDollWatch=] tag. Martin nervously notices the image is moving. Jon dismissively tells him not to worry. [[FalseReassurance That's not even close to what haunted dolls look like when they move.]]

* In one Q&A, Jonny talks about how the podcast has to judge when to use profanity ''very'' carefully in order not to get blacklisted by the US market and describes how, half a minute into recording Episode 14, Piecemeal, Alex had to stop him and explain that Lee Rentoul (a hardened gangster) was swearing far too much, and it would get the podcast labelled as 'explicit' on iTunes.

** Ben describes how another spaceship winds up [[TeleFrag "munged"]] together with the player characters' ship, briefly causing the other players to break up laughing due to the informal language. Later, Alex has his character describe the situation as a a Multiverse Unification Non-causal Generic Event... or, for short, a M.U.N.G.E.

* Episode 110: Dexter Banks, the director in "Creature Feature" sacrificing people to the Web, appears to be a parody of Quentin Tarantino. This is hilariously appropriate when you realize that the Web is the patron of spiders and the whole foot fetish thing is a {{Stock Parody Joke|s}} of Tarantino's -- Dexter is essentially serving the power with the most feet.
