* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130305071235/http://wegotclass.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/my-week-in-neverland-or-how-to-avoid-a-bj-from-lindsay/ In this blog post] (which can also double as a CMOF for the site), [[The Nostalgia Chick|Lindsay]] says that this was the first year she felt like the crew was a family. And even though the special isn't out yet, you can tell she's right from the crossovers that have been released. Everybody is laughing and having a good time in all of the bloopers, and they all sound like they had fun doing them in their commentaries.
* Considering that [[Familiar Faces|CR!]] couldn't be in the film because three members of his family died in a short window of time, it's nice to know he was still able to be a part of it by doing the opening illustrations.
* It's pathetic and hilarious, but a scared Critic clinging to the Chick is still quite sweet. It could have as easily come off as a [[Jerkass]] [[Dirty Coward]] using a smaller woman as a [[Human Shield]], but he really does think she's stronger than him.
Line 10:
*** {{spoiler|Film Brain's answer about how he'd now come back for Luke}} may carry an air of [[Jerkass]] in its wording, but the tone of his voice carries an unspoken apology for viewing him so negatively and treating him like dirt.
* {{spoiler|The return of That Dude In The Suede.}}
{{quote| '''Benzaie:''' It's good to have you back.<br />
{{spoiler|'''Suede'''}}: I thought you hated me.<br />
'''Benzaie:''' Benzaie hates you, but Conan loves you! }}
** The Critic's lament in the sequence immediately beforehand is such a contrast from when {{spoiler|Suede}} gives him no effort to defeat him before becoming allies on his journey, and it's so heartwarming that {{spoiler|Suede}} would give the poor guy a break from being his obstacle! Awww.
Line 49:
** There's another one in that commentary. At one point, Liz mentions how she had to forgo dinner with the rest of the cast and crew because she was too tired (besides being one of the Cloaks, Liz also did a ton of behind-the-scenes work). Linkara tells her "And we all appreciated everything you did".
** As it turns out, Liz ended up being wrong to call herself out beyond being part of Linkara's show. Two months following the conclusion of Suburban Knights, Liz's show, Pen and Paper Corner, made its debut on TGWTG.

The reason Doug didn't go through with it? The movie wouldn't be complete without [[James Rolfe]] as master pirate Bloodbeard Joe. [[Sincerity Mode|What a nice guy.]]
** Even more heartwarming is that Rolfe seemed to genuinely want to pull it off, even though he was also filming his role in the remake of ''[[Plan 9 from Outer Space]]'' at that time. It didn't work out, but the fact that he did really try was just so sweet!
* The making-of special on the DVD shows that things looked so hopeless during filming that Doug, Rob, and Mike Michaud were all fully prepared to scrap the whole thing and simply film everyone hanging out in Chicago as the special. Holly told them everyone wanted to get the film done, so they tried to have a vote. However, the producers refused to even bother with the vote, because they were so committed to the project, with Linkara even going into a speech (backed up by all the other producers giving a cappella stirring music) that Doug is the reason that every one of them has a job on the site, and [[Undying Loyalty|they're going to finish this thing for him no matter what]]. Doug thanks them profusely and leaves, newly energized to figure out the best way to finish the film.
Line 62:
* Related to the above, ''Doug drove himself to a day's depression'' (not able to get out of bed, couldn't face eating or showering) because he was worried about the low morale of his team. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the king of [[Team Dad|Team Dads]].
