• Acting for Two: Often done in his videos featuring plushie/puppet versions of cartoon characters like Daffy Duck and Mushu. In the cases of Daffy and other Looney Tunes characters appearing, he does it as somewhat of an intentional throwback to Mel Blanc doing the same in the classic shorts (and in some instances he'd even use the same sped-up technique for Daffy and Speedy Gonzales that was done with Blanc.)
• In Memoriam: A Muppet Poop Christmas was dedicated in the memory of Jerry Nelson, a Muppet Performer known for playing Floyd Pepper, Count von Count, and Gobo Fraggle, who had passed away a few months before the video's release.
• The Other Darrin: He enjoys commenting on and criticizing this in his record and audio cassette reviews, particularly when he's cosplaying as The Big Bad Wolf and playing the 1958 studio cast version of the Three Little Pigs soundtrack where the wolf is given a very eerie and menacing voice.
• Technology Marches On: In 2014, he made a GoAnimate parody of the Get a Mac commercials of 2006-2009, where the PC Guy is happy and optimistic in that he still has an optical disc drive, which virtually no Macs on the market have, along with having Ethernet built in and other serviceable parts, to the Mac Guy's frustration. In the years since the video was made, fewer and fewer Windows PCs on the market would include optical disc drives (mostly tower machines), and (as of early 2020) nearly all desktop Macs on the market do include user-replaceable system memory.
  • This is brought up in a sequel commercial parody he made in 2020 discussing Apple switching from Intel processors to their own ARM-based silicon chip processors for their Apple Macintosh computers, where the Mac Guy notes how few Windows PCs on the market have optical disc drives now, but the PC Guy doesn't care, as he's optimistic in that he's still available with regular USB and charging ports, and will be a much more ideal gaming platform than the new ARM-based Macs.
• What Could Have Been: Originally when learning Penguin-Random House began re-releasing book-and-record adaptations of the Little Golden Books, he bought The Poky Little Puppy title with the plans to play and review it as Zak Wolf in a vlog. But despite the blurb stating it used the 1950s read-along recording, among initially testing the record and finding out it actually used the 1976 read-along soundtrack (co-produced with Disneyland Records), he chose to instead review it as The Big Bad Wolf, due to the Disneyland Records connection and thus often referring to it. He even threw in his usual Catchphrase for Disney read-along reviews: "But enough of this yakking; let's see the pictures, hear the record, and read the book!" complete with lampshading on how he couldn't resist saying that despite the newer edition of the book not including the "SEE, HEAR, READ" blurb Disney's read-alongs typically had.
• You Look Familiar: In his GoAnimate remake of Caillou's Biggest Temper Tantrum, a character who resembles the model most users choose for Warren Cook is revealed to have dreamt the events of the video at the end. On a side note, the dad in this same sequence appears to be from the retired political theme.
  • In "The Dadgum Movies!", one of the audience members is Gian.
