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 to understand you because you aren't anything."
- "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 to understand you because you aren't anything."
- 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.
- Tenniru (Previously listed as the green "Knuckles-like character") is not allowed to have a spaceship.
Hidden Messages
- During "Something Grabbed A Hold of My Hand", the message "Your Zig A Splode" appears as the cartoon fish does.
Randomutations
- The guy who may or may not have hit the character in "Aren't 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 face that Colin Mochrie feeds himself to in "Darkened Corridors" is either Andrew Kepple, Tom Jones, Conan O'Brien, Nardwuar, Bob, Phil Collins, Neil Cicierega, Clint Eastwood, Morrissey, John Linell, John Flansburgh, Paul Gilbert, Terry Gilliam, or a big circle with the words "Your Photo Here"
- During the "Darkened corridors" sequence, when Colin drags his own body in order to feed the face, an ANIMUTATION HAIKU GENERATOR V.1.51 generates a Haiku at random. Examples of such haikus are :
Miko Miko Nurse : / The Sprites of Suzukisan / Battle JamezBond's sprites !
French erotic film : / Let our powers combine ! Spleen ! / Jesus wastes Colin.
Wizard power : so... / What's the music that you used ? / New wave jacket, noob !!!!!
Mostly Metal Jack- / -et : The Vietnam War ! LOL ! / Charlies killed Zippy ;_;
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 kashi".
