In the Civil War sketches, Grant spends a significant amount of time in his underwear, but by the time the surrender scene comes along, he has acquired a full uniform.

When Schuck tells her that their son still needs her, Fanny flat out confesses that Joshy is not his real son by telling Schmuck they look nothing alike, pointing out Joshy's good looks.

They put this into use in order to distract the townspeople, first by Mingos doing a standup routine, and then Henry and Mason pretending to be a band coming to perform in town. It's a surprisingly effective plan and would've worked had they not accidentally revealed themselves as Union soldiers.

A recurring sketch is a Jackass-style skit with the actual Jackass crew trying to kill Rasputin, played by Johnny Knoxville. A reality show for Kublai Khan's concubines is an obvious parody of The Real Housewives. The story of 1970s politician Shirley Chisolm is filmed like a stereotypical 1970s sitcom called Shirley!, complete with studio audience. The sketch detailing Jesus and Mary Magdalene's brief romance is a pastiche of The Notebook, with a requisite romantic The Big Damn Kiss scene in the rain and Framing Device of an older Mary telling the story.
