  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Marky Mark's intro, with Jimmy just wandering around a bedroom until he finally finds the camera and switches it off.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Jimmy calling Mark Wahlberg "a serious musician". Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch broke up a year later, and Wahlberg is primarily known as an actor nowadays.
  • Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading: The brother and sister from Marky Mark just act... wrong. A series of camera cuts in the introduction make it look like they're moving in to kiss, and she wrestles him to the ground at one point.
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: And they're barely games, at that. Even if you're a die-hard fan of the group represented, you're better off just buying some of their albums.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • A young Seth Green plays Desmond, one of the band kids in Marky Mark.
    • Phil LaMarr plays one of the factory workers in C+C Music Factory.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The series featured popular artists from the early 90s which became dated only a few years later. C+C Music Factory disbanded in 1996 due to the death of one of its leads; INXS lost its lead singer Michael Hutchence in 1997 due to suicide, which it never recovered from; Kris Kross released their final album in 1996 and disbanded in 2002; Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch broke up in 1993, and its lead is better known as an actor nowadays who viewed his hip hop career as an Old Shame.
