Trivia[]
- This is the last season in which the second place-winning video is announced before the first place-winning video of the contest in contestant episodes. Episode 20 marks the last occurrence of this in the show. In the next season onwards, the third place-winning video is announced instead.
- Beginning with this season, home videos could be submitted via abc.com.[1]
- "Waves of Laughter" is one of several videos to win first place in the first episode of its block, then win in the next $100,000 show.
- "Not-So-Thrilled Ride" is one of two grand prize-winning videos that cannot be found in the Home Video Licensing library. The other is "Plugged in Pug" from the previous season.

- "All I Lost for Christmas Was My Two Front Teeth" is a reference to the 1948 Christmas song "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth."
