- Corpsing: Blink and you'll miss it, but even Mr. Brodie Lee himself (along with pretty much the rest of the Dark Order) were subject of this when Trent's mom Sue failed to do Lee's signature paper-throwing at John Silver.
- In Memoriam:
- Episode 236 ("Brodie") was dedicated to Jon "Brodie Lee" Huber after his death in December 2020.
- Episode 332 ("For Jay") was dedicated to Jamin "Jay Briscoe" Pugh after his death in January 2023.
- Inspiration for the Work: Crossing with Affectionate Parody, Kenny Omega watched promotional videos for the disastrous Fyre Festivalnote and was inspired to make a wrestling-themed campaign called Fyter Fest
to promote AEW's co-branded event with Community Effort Orlando (CEO). The Young Bucks insisted that Kenny watch one of the two Fyre Festival documentaries to see how that event had Gone Horribly Wrong. - Missing Episode: Episodes featuring Joey Ryan were removed after he was accused of sexual misconduct in June 2020.
- Screwed by the Lawyers:
- The Bucks often used DX catch phrases, mannerisms and even the theme song until WWE sent them a Cease and Desist letter. This also affected their "FTR" gag, as the target of the gag is WWE tag team The Revival, until The Revival joined AEW as FTR.
- One episode in 2021 was removed and reuploaded within hours because it originally contained flagged WWE footage.
- What Could Have Been: The gear that John Silver wore for his match at the Brodie Lee tribute show was originally a gift for him from Brodie and intended to be used in a Being the Elite skit that ultimately wasn't filmed.
