  • Real Life Warren revealing the reasons why he gave each member their code names as well as their real life versions reacting to them:
    • Eric is "Mr Black" because he once said his soul was black. Real Life Eric shakes his head in response, implying that this wasn't true.
    • Spencer was "Mr Green" because he "smoked lots of green." We even see Real Life Spencer smiling in response.
    • And he named Chas "Mr Pink"........."just to fuck with him." The group even have a brief moment arguing about Mr Pink while talking about the plan, just like Reservoir Dogs.
    • Followed by this gem from Real Life Eric:
      Eric (after chuckling a bit): It's probably my least favourite Tarantinto film....
  • Sure, the actual heist goes horribly wrong in almost every way, but it's darky hilarious considering how it plays out (except for when they taze the libarian). Didn't Think This Through is an understatement.
    • After getting the books, they make their way to the elevator.....and Eric presses 1 rather than the basement level. Then the elevator doors open to the lobby and they stand there frozen before the doors close.
      Warren (panicked out of his mind): You hit one? YOU HIT ONE!?
    • Then they get to the basement level, only to find that it's not only blocked off by shelves, it's completely dark and there's no exit.
    • Warren then gets back into the lift and presses 1, deciding to make a run for it. Cue 2 college students in suits and carrying heavy books in blankets running out of the elevator, in plain sight where everyone can see, and heading towards the fire escape.....where they were supposed to go in the first place. Then they try to get down the stairs in a hurry, and drop the big books by accident, forcing them to leave them behind (they could have gotten them but Eric really just wanted to leave before the cops got there).
    • Warren makes a run for the van and steps in front of the van.....only for Chas to nearly run him over, almost turning him into roadkill and knocking him on his ass.
    • As they drive away, Warren pukes all over the dashboard. A day after Chas told a nervous Spencer not to do so.
