Trivia
- The "Ninja vs. Pirate" animation seen during the "Hey Now Everybody" sequence first appeared in Andrew Kepple's animation "Only Superhuman", but its first appearance in an animutation was in HOLY SHIT! NINJAS!!!!.
 - The sequence for "Aren't You The Guy Who Hit Me In The Eye?" is apparently based on real-life experiences of Peter Rybchenkov and one of his neighbors shortly before the Fingertips Project started: Peter woke up with a hangover after drinking too much cheap beer (Miller "Milwaukee's Best", known coloquially as "The Beast"), and about the same time his neighbor got punched in the eye.
 - The first part of the scrolling message that appears during "I Don't Understand You" reads:
 
- "Our world is a strange one. There are many people in it who are not like you. This makes them better. You cannot understand these people because you are not as good as they are. They do not need you to understand them because you are not as good as they are."
 
The second, backwards part reads:
 
- "I hope you're paying attention. Nothing is worse than being so narrow-minded that you can't even listen to what anyone else has to say. You're a Nazi. Bork Bork Bork!"
 
- During "I Don't Understand You", two famous mondegreens appear. The first is from an old ballad called "The Bonny Earl of Murray", and considered the origin of the phrase "mondegreen". The second is from the Australian national anthem.
 - Randomutations:
- The guy who may or may not have hit the character in "Are You the Guy Who Hit me In the Eye?" is randomized to be either Muhammad Ali, Charles Manson, The Random Pokerap Guy in his Jesus H. Christ costume, or pro wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
 - The picture of Andrew Kepple's head that Colin feeds himself to is sometimes randomized to be somebody else.
 
 - Secret Pictures:
- At the end of "I Hear the Wind Blow", we see a picture of Mei and Chibi-Totoro from the famous anime film "My Neighbor Totoro".
 - At the end of "I'm Having a Heart Attack", we see a picture of Sora and Mimi from "Digimon", which along with the presence of Sora from "Kingdom Hearts" and Mimi from "The Drew Carrey Show" mere seconds before, is an oblique reference to the Japanese term for misheard lyrics, "soramimi".
