-
*There are indications that Gunhaver's mind is unbalanced with regard to Blue Laser; he seems to be reaching rather far for an evil plan to attribute to them, and his exclamation of "Next episode, Blue Laser, next episooooode!" imitates a line generally reserved for villains, not heroes, in Saturday morning cartoons. His behavior in [[Let us give TANKS!]] displays a similar attitude towards them.
+
*In the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, [[Strong Bad]] uses a deep voice to do an impression of Reynold. However in this cartoon, Reynold has a high-pitched voice.

*The Price Style sign on the storefront reads "PRiCE STYLE", an example of [[lowercase i's]].
+
*When Reynold says "Don't make me use this gun that I have!" he is pretending to be Gunhaver. In the Easter egg of the first Cheat Commandos cartoon, it says on Gunhaver's box "has a gun!" This also explains the pronuncation of Gunhaver's name as "gun have-er".

*At the end, a Blue Laser minion is using grout cleaner. "GROUT CLEAN'R" is one of the items displayed on the sign above the aisle in the grocery store.
