** Darren's opening speech to the cast, where he uses a driving metaphor to describe how production's going to go, with the metaphor sounding increasingly terrifying the longer he talks.
** Darren insists on having the heroes defeats the cliff beasts by setting their genitals on fire. According to him, the shape of their genitals (which still look like a flaccid penis and scrotum) is [[InsaneTrollLogic a metaphor for coronavirus]].
