  • There's a moment in “Bird” where the narrator is telling us how ravens were used by the Norse god Odin to help him keep up with the world's goings-on. The corresponding footage is of a raven landing near the shoulder of a statue of Odin, and a wave of random Stock Footage goes past the bird and Statue Odin. When the barrage of stock footage passes, the face of Statue Odin suddenly comes to life, clearly surprised by what the ravens told him.
  • In "Dinosaur", a claymation model of a dinosaur, "Legs", demonstrates how dinosaurs may have evolved from crawling on their bellies to walking upright. Legs is a goofy little Cartoon Creature meant to resemble a theropod, and he makes plenty of stupid grins and weird little noises as he demonstrates the evolution of walking. At the end of his demonstration, we see an actual dinosaur stomp by... inadvertently squashing Legs underfoot. (Don't worry, he's okay later!)
    • Near the end, when discussing the theories about how the dinosaurs went extinct, the narrator talks about one outlandish theory that stated they became so huge and lethargic, they died of boredom.
