- Craig was sick in this episode and could hardly speak.
- Jihad Jack is a fan of The Chaser.
- It was stated in the commentary that the surprise spruiker might have died in this episode.
- In the McDonald's upselling stunt Chas didn't order everything as there was some items missing from that McDonald's menu.
- They actually bought a lot of what Chas ordered in the McDonald's stunt.
- In the Citizens' Infringement Officer segment, two of the names given were false. Julian set up the baby with his name and the baby with the name of Pegasus Ezekiel was made up because the lady knew it wasn't real.
- The courtesy bus stunt was fake. Julian said it was a sketch done like a stunt which is what he called a skunt or a stentch.
- Craig Reucassel's son, Ollie, was the child thief in 'What Have We Learned From Current Affairs This Week?'.
- The Scientology stunt was filmed for Episode 22 but kept getting bumped.
