  • The beer Eugene pours on his electric guitar is Dead Guy Ale, which is the name of a real beer. It's also the beer everyone drinks in the afterlife.
  • Nearly every song on the soundtrack is performed by an artist who committed suicide (or a band whose singer committed suicide) — Nick Drake and Joy Division for instance. One of the only songs heard in the afterlife that's neither associated with suicide or performed by someone who committed suicide is "Through The Roof And Underground" by Gogol Bordello... and since Eugene's band is shown playing it in a flashback, it's therefore a song performed by someone who committed suicide in universe.
  • Kamikaze Pizza, in a world of people who've committed suicide.
  • Zia doesn't find his ex girlfriend until after he has fallen in love with Mikal - it couldn't happen until he no longer cared.
