- Eventual Academy Award winning actor John M. Reynolds Jr [1] appearing in a 1966 episode of the series The Wild Wild West portraying an former Union soldier turned farmer. Due to his appearance in the episode, a popular technet rumor emerged stating that Reynolds was the inspiration for Ol' Smokey, the mascot for Smokey Mountain BBQ Steakhouse, though FGL has denied this.
[1] Once again, your eyes don't deceive you, that is the actor who played Torgo in Manos The Hands of Fate. I'm admittedly assuming the bet that led to Manos getting made would be butterflied, and as result so is both the damage to Reynolds's legs and his tragic suicide and goes on to have a successful acting career.

- An "exploded Daffy" animatronic as part of a salvaged Looney Tunes Revue show at the restaurant chain Bugs Bunny's Pizza Parlor, which first opened in 1982 and was a competitor to Chuck E. Cheese's and ShowBiz, with Warner Bros. licensing the Looney Tunes characters and properties. Mel Blanc (later Jeff Bergman, Joe Alaskey, and Bob Bergen) reprised all of the male characters in the showtapes (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Pepé Le Pew, Yosemite Sam, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester, Tweety, and Sylvester Jr., with the Tasmanian Devil and Foghorn Leghorn added later on), while June Foray (later Cheryl Chase beginning in 1987) voiced Bonnie Bunny. Bugs Bunny's Pizza Parlor went bankrupt in December 2007 after several years of struggles, having failed to adapt to changing times.
- 1993 concept artwork for the main characters in The Rock-afire Explosion Show (1995-2004); the character designs remain in use by ShowBiz and RAE creators Creative Engineering. Note that Mitzi is shown in her cheerleader getup instead of the updated outfit and hairstyle introduced in 1988. Also, her hair is erroneously colored gray instead of blonde.
