** Chapter 23 of ''Watchmeh'' is named "House of Cards", after [[Series/HouseOfCardsUS the series of the same name]]. At the time, it was just an amusing reference.

** In the first chapter of the first collection, Danny, Sam, and Tucker express their belief that E350 is going to fail to complete his self-imposed Halloween challenge.
