Trivia / Sam & Mickey

• Acting for Two: Sam & Mickey both voice multiple characters.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: In "Quarantine," Stacie describes Journey Into Imagination With Figment as "a fun look at the future," rather than a tour of the five senses, apparently confusing it with long-gone Horizons.
• Creator's Apathy: According to "Sam & Mickey Discuss 10 Years of Youtube," the duo put progressively less effort into hiding Blu Tack in their videos.
• Creator's Favorite: In the 10th anniversary video, Sam & Mickey chose Chelsea as their favorite main character.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: All male characters not voiced by actual men have their voices pitched down. For instance, Mickey does the voice of Ken.
• Development Gag: Sam & Mickey recall in one behind-the-scenes video that they considered explaining that Mattel stopped making Krissy dolls after the baby died, until they came up with a less macabre explanation, that Barbie simply stopped paying attention to Krissy for a while. In "Back to the Future", Barbie visits a timeline in which Krissy accidentally microwaved herself as a baby.
• Fake Nationality: Most of the characters Sam & Mickey voice hail from places other than Australia.
• Official Fan-Submitted Content: Sam & Mickey often get new story ideas from suggestions viewers make in comments.
• Out of Holiday Episode:
  • Crafting With Stacie has one episode in which she tries to teach how to make a Christmas wreath. She doesn't take it well when she realizes she notices the calendar read July.
  • In 2023, Sam & Mickey released another Halloween episode, "Spooktacular," on November 19.
• Referenced by...: Hollywood Spotlight: The Ultimate Guide to Barbie uses a screenshot from one of these videos to represent Aunt Millicent, who never received an official doll. Unfortunately, Sam & Mickey didn't learn about this until after the magazine hit newsstands.
• Schedule Slip:
  • Considering the busy lives of the creators, more recent videos have been uploaded on past the 15th day of the month, likewise their miniseries are sometimes uploaded a few days later than Sunday. Beginning with Chelsea's Safari Episode 4, the text at the end of miniseries episodes changed from, "Regular episodes on the 15th of every month. Miniseries episodes every Sunday", to, "Regular episodes every month. Miniseries episodes every week."
  • Due to a renovation of their studio, Sam & Mickey didn't release a regular episode in September 2021, all of the videos they planned to release that October appeared on either November 1 or November 2 instead, Thanksgiving Episode "The Unfollow" appeared on December 4, and Christmas Episode "The Lost Christmas" appeared on January 18.
• Series Hiatus: Sam & Mickey took several breaks in 2022, only posting new episodes in January, March, and July. The post-July break continued until the May 2023 release of "The Unexpected Hiatus", explained in-universe as Barbie joining a cult for nine months. They also haven't posted any miniseries since November 2021.
• Throw It In!: Tommy's tendency to mispronounce Yasmin's name resulted from Sam accidentally misspelling it in the script for "Tommy," then deciding that it suit the character too well to correct.
