1* ActorAllusion: The host of "German... Or Else" is played by Creator/JamesHoran, the voice actor of Skull Face from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV'' whose goal revolved around [[spoiler:eradicating the worlds lingua franca, English]], and fittingly is the one to reference the imminent retirement of the English language at the end of the segment.
2** Having [[spoiler: obtained the body of a super soldier, in this case having his head attached to one.]] B.J., still played by Creator/BrianBloom, has now become even more like [[WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes Captain]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom America]].
3** In the first level, one of the sub-levels is titled "Under Siege," which also happens to be the name of the 1992 Creator/StevenSeagal action flick ''Film/UnderSiege'' which Rip's voice actor Creator/GlennMorshower had an acting part in early in his career. In both the game and the film, Morshower plays a {{Jerkass}}.
4* InkSuitActor: The four new major characters of Grace, Horton, Sigrun and Zofia are modeled directly after their voice actors (Debra Wilson, Creator/ChristopherHeyerdahl, Alyssa Preston and Michelle Forbes, respectively).
5* PlayingAgainstType:
6** Creator/MichelleForbes (Known for portraying villains and, sometimes, anti-heroes) as [[NiceGirl Zofia]] [[GoodParents Blazkowicz]]
7** Creator/GlennMorshower, who's usually cast as no-nonsense government agents or military officers, as BJ's [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain bigoted]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking civilian]], [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] Rip.
8* StarMakingRole: For Debra Wilson. While having a respectable career in live action and voice acting prior the game's release, ''The New Colossus'' preceded her being cast in a number of similarly high-profile InkSuitActor roles such as in ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder'' and ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019''.
