Line 50:
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Many of the challenges have a single-digit win total (with a few at ''no one''). None of the contests Adam has faced have a win percentage of over 20%.
** New York's Curry challenge plays this trope straight and seemingly subverts it, over 100 people have won the challenge, but thousands have tried and failed.
* [[It Tastes Like Feet]]: "[[The Simpsons (animation)|It tastes like burning]]'' has been invoked by name more than once.
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: One recurring piece of background music sounds suspiciously like "Life in the Fast Lane" by The Eagles.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Adam tends to shout at times whenever doing his voiceovers.
Line 76:
** In the "Don Shula 48-oz. Steak Challenge", the man himself appeared in Adam's training segment.
** Kevin Youkilis of the [[Baseball|Boston Red Sox]] appeared and jokingly called Yankee fan Adam a bum. He was not there specifically to be a special guest, just stopped by the restaurant for lunch.
*** In a way, the New York episode where Adam did the "Suicide Six Wings" rematch having current [[Baseball|New York Yankees]] pitcher Joba Chamberlain giving him advice involving how to beat the challenge -- "Basically, [[Stealth Pun|you wing it.]]"
** Well-known competitive eater and San Jose native Joey Chestnut participated in the Iguana's Taqueira's "BurrioZilla" challenge when Adam announced that he had a different challenge to cover and asked who amongst the crowd was going to participate in this challenge. Joey ended up beating the 5 pound challenge in ''3 minutes and 10 seconds''!
** A Man V. Food Nation episode had the Lo Cash Cowboys particapting in Nashville's undefeated "Big Roost Challenge". {{spoiler|The challenge is still undefeated.}}
