Trivia[]
- Sometime after August 2017, this episode's name was changed for unknown reasons.
- The player-vs.-player cue cards are in the same style as the ones in the game.
- Sohinki is wearing a Mortal Kombat shirt while playing Mortal Kombat.
- Jovenshire predicted that Ian was going to receive the punishment, and was correct.
- However, Sohinki and Lasercorn were pointing at Jovenshire, thinking that he was going to lose.
- It was never explained why Mari was absent for this Game Bang.
- The censored effects weren't used, therefore some curse words can be heard in the Game Bang.
- Kung Lao was used twice, by Jovenshire and Anthony. The rest of the characters were used once.
- It is one of three rare occasions where the punishment is not physical. It is generated with special effects (The second one happens in We've Got Worms, as well as Kombat Begins in Mortal Kombat X, that happens much later).
- This is the most viewed Game Bang, with over 10 million views. It is also the 4th most viewed video overall on Smosh Games.
- When discussing the channel’s 10 year anniversary, Joven, Mari, Sohinki and Lasercorn revealed that while Halo Reach was the first episode to be uploaded, this was the first official taped episode for the show. They uploaded Halo first due to it being a more popular game.
