* Starting with this season, TheVideoKid782 Productions was credited at the end of each episode, Food Group Productions began being credited in S2EP2 as BatteryMill became increasingly involved in production.
* Salli made her debut in S2EP2.
* Microsoft Sam and Radar Overseer Scotty were mentioned in S2EP2, S2EP3 and S2EP7 but wouldn't be seen again until ErrorGang.
* Starting with this season, Bitstrips characters were used to represent the characters. however Eric has had his since IVONA Eric Fails at Tech Support.
* In S2EP3, the theme song to the original Pokémon anime series was used as the theme song, due to the Pokemon Go craze at the time. A theme song credit to Ninantic (the copyright holders to the song) was seen in between closing logos.
* S2EP3 was Vixen's only appearance to date in the series. It was also Nalitta and Emillia's debuts.
* S2EP3 was released as part of a Thanksgiving doubleheader across YouTube and Skype.
* EDM musician Sonohara requested an error for S2EP3, but then went on to criticize the series.
* S2EP4 was the first TheVideoKid782 video to use the "TheVideoKid782 - Brevard County, FL" identification tag.
* With 1 like and 3 dislikes as of December 17, 2018, S2EP5 is the lowest rated episode of the series.
* At some point between the uploading of S2EP4 and production of S2EP5, IVONA removed their free voice demo, and NextUp TTS had removed Eric from their voice suite. However, fromtexttospeech.com had a voice suite for Eric listed as John. From S2EP5 onwards, Eric's voice has had quality.
* While not officially confirmed by TheVideoKid782, an error in the series suggests that S2EP5 could have been the backdoor pilot to VoiceForge Shy Girl Reads Funny Windows Errors.
* S2EP5 has the most outfit changes of any episode to date.
* S2EP5 (the episode with Kayla and Shy Girl's revealing outfits) was the first to have Lucas Gloss request errors.
* The voice used for Jen of the Angry Blue People in S2EP6 would be used 13 months later for Shy Girl in ErrorGang. 
* At the end of S2EP6, Steven refers to everyone as "Speakonia Mansion Gang". This is a foreshadowing to ErrorGang .

* As of December 18, 2018, S2EP7 has 22 views, making it the lowest viewed episode to date, and also one of the lowest rated TheVideoKid782 videos to date. This may have to do with the fact that the episode was uploaded on Black Friday, as issues forced the episode out of Thanksgiving. 
* Eric's comment about starting a rapping career in S2EP7 is foreshadowing ErrorGang. 
* In S2EP7, the scene where Eric and Salli had a red substance thrown at them exists because of a PowToon glitch. Originally, the scene was supposed to be Eric and Salli talking, then the Thanksgiving Turkey thrown at them by Kayla, but PowToon glitched the turkey by inverting it red. 
* The music that is heard throughout S2EP8 (including the theme song) is Unused Sound Test #10, the scrapped Hidden Palace Zone theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
* S2EP8 is the first episode where Eric reads all of the errors since S1EP2. 
* An error in S2EP8 seems to suggest that Shy Girl is naked in the episode, but in her scene, she has clothes on. 
* The entire last 4 errors of S2EP8 are directly predicting ErrorGang, and also aren't official plot devices.
* S2EP8 was the last episode of several things: The last episode to be produced in PowToon, the last episode to have a comment question, the last episode of Shy Girl keeping her original name. It was also the only S2EP8 episode of the post-Lucas era.
