- "Explodeded" has an extra "ed" at the end, which refers to the 'D! from TGS. The font used for the Die-O-Ramas didn't have an apostrophe, so this was used instead.

In this game for the ZX Spectrum, one of the screens is entitled "homestarrunner.com" and resembles Homestar's head. (This screen only appears in the revision and later versions; earlier versions had a screen advertising irma.s5.com, an all-but-defunct Garfield site.) Incidentally, this game was designed by TheLazenby, a member of the Homestarrunner.net and Socks and Vinegar forums; the newest and final version, although not designed by TheLazenby, still retains this screen. (However, in the new version, a secret teleporter is said to be hidden somewhere in Homestar's head.)

- One KWE wrestler, Roo, is basically a kangaroo wearing boxing gloves. Therefore, there have been several references to "How do you type with boxing gloves on?":
