* HilariousInHindsight: One of the very first jokes of the episode is Stan outright telling his father than real guitars are for "old people," much to the chagrin of Randy, who hates the thought of kids playing plastic toy guitar controllers more than real guitars. While this was a complaint among detractors at the time, players eventually getting bored playing with uncomfortable plastic guitars was one of the major reasons (alongside the sheer glut of installments, spinoffs and knockoffs, plus the rise of games like ''VideoGame/{{Rocksmith}}'', which ''do'' utilize real guitars and the internet offering a variety of tutorials that made learning much easier) that caused the franchise to peter out three years later, as evidenced by the underperformance of 2010's ''Warriors of Rock'' installment.

This is the exact reason the series eventually died in 2010, with ''Warriors of Rock'' selling poorly, implying people got sick of band games and found plastic guitars inconvenient.
