** "BIFF!" appears in various pins, usually as a "crash" display.
** ''Pinball/RedAndTedsRoadShow'' is practically a sequel to the game. Two talking heads, a clock-like "Miles" system and a left plunger SkillShot are combined with the rules that made ''Pinball/TheAddamsFamily'' and ''Pinball/TheTwilightZone'' so memorable.
*** Also in ''Pinball/TheTwilightZone'', hitting the clock enough times prompts a sound clip of Rudy saying "Quit playing with the clock!" Quick Multiball also features clips from the game, among other Pat Lawlor games
** In Creator/DennisNordman's ''Demolition Man'' pin, you get to hear Rudy say "Frenzy?" when the frenzy mode is started.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: The only way to normally shoot a ball into Rudy's mouth is while he's asleep, but it's possible to get one into his mouth while he's talking. Doing so causes him to spit it out and say "You big... M... sausage!"
** One particular target in the upper portion of the table activates several awards (lighting an extra ball, maxing out bumper values, etc.) One reward is "Quick Multiball", which, under the right conditions, will not only start Midnight Multiball without having to fire a ball into Rudy's mouth, but activate the "Unlimited Millions" feature, which gives major scoring oppurtunities for missed shots to the trap door.

*** Also in ''Pinball/TheTwilightZone'', hitting the clock enough times prompts a sound clip of Rudy saying "Stop playing with the clock!" Quick Multiball also features clips from the game, among other Pat Lawlor games
