*When Homestar puts the cans on top of each other, the cool shades would have most likely been in the bottom can if Bubs did the order from left to right.  Alternatively, numbering from top to bottom results in Homestar finding the shades in the correct can.

*The clouds above Free Country U.S.A look more realistic. In the past, they looked like cartoony swirls.

-
*[[Carol]] looks like a classical guitar, but is apparently an {{wp|acoustic-electric guitar}}, capable of producing a distorted tone much like an [[Instruments#Electric Guitar|electric guitar]].
 
*The tape at the end is the same shade of yellow as the yellow highlights that appear around buttons when the Tab key is pressed, slightly obscuring the Easter egg highlight over "The" and completely obscuring the highlight over "End." Since the tape was grey during the song, this may have been intentional.

*When Marzipan closes her eyes and sings "...a bag of four graaaaapes!", you can see her closed eyes distort for a brief moment. This is because she and Homestar blink every four seconds or so, and with her eyes closed, she attempts to blink over her closed eyes. The effect can also be observed if the toon is paused while her eyes are closed.
 +
*The amp that is behind Marzipan when she's about to play her song disappears in the next scene.
*The phrase "Cool Tapes" changes position slightly during the toon. To see this better, focus on the bottom of the "p" in "Tapes" and the lighter part of the yellow wall.
