* DirectedByCastMember: Subverted. The credits for the web video seasons of Decker tend to credit Tim Heidecker as the director except for Decker vs Dracula where Gregg Turkington is credited as director. Both of them play key characters in the show. However, the series has actually been directed by Eric Notarnicola (he also directs WebVideo/OnCinema but is uncredited) who does not have any acting roles in the series. Eric did get director credit though once the series had moved to TV.

** During ''Port of Call: Hawaii'', Gregg Turkington can be seen at Lanoi's bar as a patron, rather than his usual role as Agent Kington, when Decker performs "Values Under Attack". He also has a brief role in "Mindwipe" as a Louisiana cop who references Film/LiveAndLetDie similar in manner to Kington though they are separate characters.

* Anvilicious: Done as a parody. Keeping with Tim's persona in On Cinema, the show acts as his passion project which he uses to convey his conservative political views (climate change denial, unsupportive of women in the military combat roles, aggressive foreign policy, etc) in very overt ways as part of the comedy.

* TroubledProduction: Somewhat in universe in the context of on cinema. Tim and Gregg clash over certain artistic choices, especially on ''Decker vs. Dracula'' as shown in a video Tim posts to explain why that season was cancelled. Given Tim and Gregg are acting in their On Cinema personas during the behind the scenes video, there's no indication there was legit trouble with the production of ''Decker''.
