  • Bizarro Episode: One featured a fan from Germany getting flown into London to make a Kylie Minogue video with no explanation for the change in the typical location.
  • Unnecessary Makeover: When remaking the "Lady Marmalade" video, the girl becoming Pink had her hair dyed pink...and was then given a wig to wear for the video.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Much like a lot of MTV's reality shows of the day, this one perfectly captures the flashy pop culture of the early 2000s. The pampering and mounds of free gifts each fan gets marks it as a product of something made before the 2008 recession, and many of the gifts include then-state of the art technology - with games consoles from the second generation, a lack of iPods and analog televisions (one of which is even in the opening sequence). It's a time capsule of what music was popular at the time - when Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were still together, and Justin Timberlake was more famous as a member of *NSYNC.
