Occasionally the "bogus" accusation was unfounded, such as a claimant being Joe Piscopo. When Co-MC and Tommy call "bogus", they realize too late that the real Joe Piscopo did indeed make an appearance.

* On many video-on-demand services, the Club Mario segment is included for [[The Unzappables]] instead of its original live-action segment.
* Although the segments were intended to replace the Mario and Luigi vignettes, DiC destroyed all tapes used for filming Club Mario. As a result, Club Mario is hard to find whereas the original ''Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' was released to DVD as those tapes were preserved in the DiC archives.
