The game was so well-received by fans every year it came back, that many wished it would become an actual game in the series. Jackbox Games listened, took the concept of ''Everybody Help Grandma'', and reworked it into ''The Devils and the Details''.

** Billy O'Brien appears in the game intro buried beneath the ground. He also appears as a flashing image on TV in one game.
** Captain Chuck Hull from ''Joke Boat'' appears as the ghost in "The Case of the Haunted Suburb".
** One of the ''Fakin' It'' men appears in the "Greet Your Neighbor" task.

* ManEatingPlant: In "The Nicest Yard", one of the final challenge tasks involves the family fighting off an exotic flower they planted that mutates into a man-eating plant.



* NumberOfTheBeast: 666 is the house number of the home of the devils.

to:

* NumberOfTheBeast: MundaneMadeAwesome: Players who take on selfish tasks have their avatar's appearance change to reflect to how they're giving into their devilish nature. However, some of these tasks are rather mundane. So you might look at the main screen and see that one of your fellow players is sporting BlankWhiteEyes, a SlasherSmile, and an InfernalBackground... and then you see that it's because they're [[FelonyMisdemeanor using their phone on the toilet, stealing extra candy, or some other minor form of mischief or slacking off]].
* MythologyGag: The numbers in the phone book include references to businesses from ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'', such as Vance [=VanVan's=] Van Lot and Tim Simian, Chimp Mechanic.

Added DiffLines:

* ScoobyDooHoax: "The Case of the Haunted Suburb" involves the family investigating sightings of a ghost that turns out to be a shady old man in disguise.
* ShoutOut: The phone book contains nods to several popular members of the Jackbox Streamers team on Twitch, such as [=TipsyTune=] ("Tipsy Tune's Unsteady Autos").
* SlidingScaleOfCooperationVsCompetition: The game features Emergent Competition; players must work together over three in-game days to complete chores (including highly-important "challenge tasks") and reach their "family score" quota by the end of each round. Players can boost their personal scores by slacking off and completing "selfish" tasks, though this runs the risk of causing a "family emergency" that will take points away from your family score until it's dealt with. If the family fails to make the quota by the end of the round, they're forced to move back to Hell (though they get a limited number of do-overs on all but the last day); if they make it through each day, they get to stay in the mortal world and the highest-scoring player is declared "World's Bestest Devil".


Added DiffLines:

* TeamPet: The Audience in this game plays the role of the family cat, [[CatsAreMean who gets to cause mischief for the other players]] and generate tasks to distract them.


Added DiffLines:

* TimeCapsule: "Time Makes Ghouls of Us All" involves the Devils having to put together a time capsule. They end up finding an older time capsule from TheNineties in the process.
