** Canadian chains such as Shoppers pharmacy and Lick’s Burgers can also be seen.

* CareerResurrection: Creator/NeilPatrickHarris had largely pulled away from on-screen roles and had built a career in theater. However, his performance in this film electrified audiences, leading to his casting in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' on CBS, which then got him the hosting gig at the Tony Awards and made him ''the'' go-to song-and-dance man for a number of years.



* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/NeilPatrickHarris. He's credited as "Neil Patrick Harris as Neil Patrick Harris".

* ForeShadowing: Rosenberg and Goldstein jokingly suggest Harold and Kumar were gay for each other. 17 years after the film came out, Creator/KalPenn came out as gay and has been engaged.

Added DiffLines:

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Early on, Rosenberg and Goldstein sit down to watch the film ''[[Film/TheGift2000 The Gift]]'' on TV--solely because they've heard that Creator/KatieHolmes [[{{Fanservice}} bares her breasts]] onscreen for around 30 seconds. If the movie had been made even three or four years later, they probably would have just DVR'ed the movie and fast-forwarded to the part that they actually wanted to see (or looked the scene up on an online video streaming site). ''Nobody'' today willingly watches a movie from the beginning on live TV just to see a single scene.
