* HollywoodHacking: Averted with the "Carbanak Gang" legend in the "Heists" episode in which they describe they very mundane way in which the hackers got into the bank systems with fake emails. However they did make gratuitous use of the old ''scrolling garbage text on the monitor'' effect, although at one point they used what looks to be the [[UsefulNotes/{{Unix}} Linux]] [=SysV=] init bootscript.

* PacManFever: In "The Granddad Gang" segment of the "Heists" episode, one part of the reenactment of the crime was animated in the style of a [[{{Retraux}} "8-bit video game"]] - with sound effects lifted from the notorious UsefulNotes/Atari2600 port of VideoGame/PacMan

* {{Hologram}}: Covered in the "Where's My Hoverboard?" episode. Kari even shows viewers how to build a simple "hologram" viewer using some acrylic and an iPad.

* ThoseWackyNazis: The "Crazy [=WW2=] Weapons" episode's first legend was regarding the British's plan [[GenderBender to lace Hitler's food with estrogen]]. The episode then goes on to portray what the British think will happen should the plan be carried out, with Hitler [[AdolfHitlarious hilariously getting more and more whimsical]], culminating in the Führer growing ''breasts'' and aping a scene from ''Film/TheSoundOfMusic''. [[spoiler:It's ultimately revealed that the British never tried it, and [[RealityEnsues switches to show what modern science says will happen instead.]]]]

* WeirdHistoricalWar: "Crazy UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Weapons" showcases some of the RealLife attempts by the Allies to create wonder weapons. RealityEnsues as even the ones that actually worked when tested were too AwesomeButImpractical.

The series premiered with 10 episodes on December 9th, 2016. It has also spawned a live show which is currently touring Australia. Sadly however, Grant has revealed that Netflix has chosen to not renew the show for a second season.

* BadassGrandpa: "The Granddad Gang" in the "Heists" episode. It's a quartet of senior citizen criminals, who managed to rob a vault that's supposedly unbreachable.

* TheCoconutEffect: ''PC Load Letter''. Printers since a few years ago have acquired large color LCD screens that displays more meaningful error messages and even step-by-step illustrated instructions on how to clear the error. However, this error message continued to be quoted since ''Office Space'' is such a cult film that it has been burned into many minds that printers display cryptic error messages on their screens when they malfunction.
