- A host notes Austin's computer runs AOL 3.0; according to director Jay Roach, the AOL placement was done to get a free year of service.
- A host identifies Austin's car as a 1961 Jaguar open two-seater.
- A host says that in the Las Vegas bar scene Austin was meant to drink a Zima, but Zima realized it was being mocked, so it became Tab; this contrasts with the Wayne's World product-placement parody.
- A host reports that George Harrison's last letter was to Myers, praising the films and asking for a Mini-Me doll; Myers framed it and told the story on Carvey's podcast.
