** Dawn's first film choice to bring to the club is ''SaloOrThe120DaysOfSodom'', which he reviewed from hunched over a toilet and vomiting due to the disgusting nature of the film, yet praised its symbolism. After they watch the film, Dan praises the film as "the anti-happiness, the anti-joy, a true look at sadism with lovely landscaping." This is a direct quote from the original review, and so is much of Vincent's analogy of mass-produced food.

* LampshadeHanging: Craig and Neil thank Gene for helping secure the roller rink, and say that without him "we'd have to resort to shooting in their parking lot." Guess where the scene takes place.



** As they're trying to figure out a disguise, Brad discloses the true (to real-life) origin story of the costume. He'd gone to a screening of Monkey Shines with a Q&A with [[NightOfTheLivingDead George Romero]] afterwards. One of the people present - described as wearing an all-black suit, slicked-back hair, and "Jeffrey Dahmer glasses" - described an analogy of the relation between the main characters (a man and a chimp) as analogous to Man's relationship with evolution. Romero laughed him off.
