The show was conceived to be a visual encyclopedia for nerd culture. The creators purposely select characters, comics, and films that are obscure.
Several episodes make reference to a 'Lunch PA' and the show's 'Biggest Fan'. 'Lunch PA' is an inside joke, a term coined by producer Christian Villarreal in reference to his experiences on low budget productions where production assistants would show up for lunch and leave. The 'Biggest Fan' is director Nuh Omar's younger brother, who can be seen in several episodes, and is also the graphics editor of the series.
'Dungeon Vlogs' is a series of shorts produced for the show. A recurring gag in the shorts involves the toy of the Transformer's character Grimlock looking to find his purpose in the world. The crew affectionately nicknamed the figure "Whistlehead".
A perplexed baby photo of director and lead writer Nuh Omar's niece can be seen hidden in several episodes.
The 'Hal Jordan Demerit Meter' was conceived by both producer Christian Villarreal and director Nuh Omar. It comes from a mutual dislike of the character. The character design used in the meter was made by Christian Villarreal's brother, who also designed the logos and other artwork of the channel.
