Trivia:

The cause of the zombie outbreak is that Flage Camo created a vaccine utilizing a duplication glitch, but after his test subject died it infected all of the other dead bodies in the basement of Peach's Castle, turning all of them into zombies. The zombies then got cloned because of the duplication glitch, and the appearance of zombies attracted other Minecraft mobs. K41 has confirmed this is not a reference to the COVID-19 pandemic that was happening at the time this video was in production and was released, as he came up with the idea in January 2020, 2 months before the first confirmed case in his home state.

This is the first time earrape is used in a scene.

The title comes from the fact that during most of the invasion, K41 and Mario are bored.

Though it seems like ObeyMarioBros and Flage Camo die, they both don't actually die.

This video makes a lot of references to Minecraft, most notably the fact that zombies and other mobs are the ones attacking, as well as some of the items that the group uses are shovels, pickaxes, axes, and swords. Minecraft is also referenced when Flage Camo crafts a shovel, as well as when he says that he doesn't want to rely on random drops (from kililng enemies).

The Lego City shown in this video is missing a lot of buildings from versions of it in earlier videos, such as the pizza restaurants, the bank, and the bike shop. It's possible this is another part of Lego City, as previous versions are shown to be inland while this version is on the coast.

This video doesn't have an additional Youtuber that stars, such as Thatwaspointless or Tanto64, which usually  have at least supporting roles in videos. Thatwaspointless and Tanto64 appear, but TWP gets a minor role and T64 gets only a cameo.

When K41 and Mario are at the Lego store, K41 is trying to get a LEGO Mario set. This is a reference to LEGO Mario sets that were first announced in March 2020.

The police officer that worked with Mario in Mario the Cop makes a return in this video. Mario the Cop is also referenced when the officer asks Mario if he's been on the police force and Mario said that he was.

When Toad leaves for Beach World, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach follow him. It's possible that they all live in Peach's Castle.

It's unknown why K41 and Mario got put on house arrest in Peach's Castle instead of the Youtuber House because K41 officially lives at the Youtuber house, while Mario lives in Peach's Castle. It could be because K41 lied when filling out his official address form or the police officer made a mistake.

When Mario is looking through the chest, he finds a chalice containing white liquid, which he calls "gamer juice" and consumes but is disgusted and says that "it's not gamer juice". This is a reference to the YandereDev chalice meme.

Mario also finds a Flying Squirrel suit in the chest, which is a reference to the fact that the Super Acorn had just been added to Super Mario Maker 2 in an update.

At the beginning of the zombie invasion, Flage Camo suggests feeding cake to the zombies, and K41 says that it's a lie and the cake disappears. This is a reference to the Cake is a Lie meme.

This is the first appearance of the Gingerbread Man with his new design. He was redesigned as the movie was originally going to feature him with that redesign, but the movie got postponed.
