Trivia
- The title of this special comes from the question "What's your major malfunction, numbnuts?!", exclaimed by R. Lee Ermey's character Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the 1987 film Full Metal Jacket.
- The logo for this special was designed by Corvaeraas, another member of Steel Lion Media and friend of Syp The Mighty.
- A sequel/reboot series was produced by Firelight Studios around the same time as Annoyances in 2012, retroactively called Major Malfunction II, that featured the same characters but Jones wore an ODST helmet instead of the Mark VI and O'Brien died in its third episode. Three episodes were made, in which Syp archived on her personal channel.
- Had the special continued as a series, there were plans for Corvaeraas (voice of the Brigadier) to voice a character named "Payne" and Blankslate (voice of Miller) to voice a character name "Jasper". Jasper would end up being introduced in Machine, the fourth episode of Season 1, with Blankslate providing his voice, while elements of Payne were incorporated into the Brigadier.
- This special reuses songs originally composed for Annoyances, which were later used in Classic Season 2.
- Individual episodes of Major Malfunction are archived on Syp's personal channel, rather than the Spite Box channel.
- This special was filmed, edited, and written week by week when released as a series, with Syp getting burnt out by its fourth episode and leading to the premature ending of Major Malfunction.
- As director, lead writer, and co-creator, Syp retained ownership of the series after Steel Lion Media dissolved.
- Over ten years after this special ended on a cliffhanger, the two final episodes of WarGames would reveal the fates of the guards and who attacked them.
- This is the only Guard Duty project to not feature Geff Rodrigo, Mitchell Miller, nor Emery Eden, due to being considered a standalone series without any ties to Guard Duty when it was first made.
