*** Busto 2.0 in general can be pretty terrifying, right from the first time he turns into God Trash and rips apart a nearby truck and sends it flying into the air.
** The Planet Class Locomotive from episode 21. An old steam engine that billows smoke and steam and makes eerie, disturbing bleeping sounds, which can also accelerate indefinitely, reaching speeds of over 500 miles per hour. It gets even more disturbing once it turns into God Trash, firing out a black and yellow column from its wheels that is at least over ''six kilometres'' in length.

* FanonDiscontinuity: After the finale, some fans tried to create a [[WMG/GrandUnifyingGuesses McElroy expanded universe]] in which all of Griffin's series exist at different points in the same timeline. Unfortunately, the MultipleEndings of ''Car Boys'' was vital to this theory, and now that Griffin's collaborations with Nick are treated as his OldShame, speculation has died down.

Several months after its conclusion, Nick was fired by Polygon [[note]] Multiple revelations of sexual harassment were investigated and confirmed by Polygon and corroborated by a public confession from Nick.
