• Achmed Khan's story about a rock concert at his school. When he gets to the part where one of the guitarists broke a string, he lets out an unexpected crazy scream.
• Dante Robinson's chatter, especially 'I see London, I see France, I see your underpants!'
• Keisha Phillips has a couple of good lines.
  Keisha: (during the chatter) Watch out, Batman! Here comes The Joker!
  Keisha: (when getting picked) I knew you were smart, a real stinker—I mean thinker.

• One of the phrases Pablo Sanchez says when he strikes out is 'Este bate no sirve para nada.' which translates to 'This bat is useless.'
• During the credits:
  No hot dogs were consumed in the making of this game.
  Okay, maybe a few.
• Almost anything involving Vinnie the Gooch.
  Sunny Day: Say 'hello', Vinnie.
  Vinnie: Hello, Vinnie.
  Vinnie: I wouldn't want to meet this kid in a dark alley. I wouldn't want to meet him in a light alley, either. Alleys are scary!

• Achmed Khan's 'rock song'.
  Achmed: Rock! Rock! Everybody rock! Everybody love the heavy rocking guitar! Yeah!
  • One of the rejected names for Achmed Khan's band was Ham Sandwich.
• If you hold down Shift while clicking on Pablo Sanchez, he will say in English that he dreamed about a burrito.
• Chuck Downfield sacked himself. Twice.
• Pete Wheeler's dad apparently holds the record for most rushing yards in a single game of Backyard Football. Only for all those yards to be going the wrong way, resulting in multiple safeties for the other team. The other team won.
• When Dante Robinson scores a touchdown, his celebration is running to the concession stand and running back with a tray of food and starts eating it in the endzone.
• In most of the later games, when you create a custom player and don't give him any stats, they tend to just use all the '(s)he's not the best in [category]' type description for every stat. In this game, however, if you make a custom player and leave all the stats at one, the description? 'This kid is not a strong player.'

• The player bios have two ways of explaining how Dmitri Petrovich got his nickname of 'Paste'. Dmitri will be upfront about it but Jorge Garcia's depiction is funnier.
  Jorge: You haven't by chance seen Mr. Petrovich around, have you? He's the rather large boy who eats paste.

• Sunny Day poking fun at Buddy Cheque for wearing a girl's jacket, with the latter getting defensive. Turns out, it's a hand-me down since Buddy has six older sisters.
• Buddy Cheque ending a game commentary with a word from a sponsor.
  Buddy: If you're nice on your windows, go get you a Straight-co! Man, who writes this garbage, Sunny?'
