- The title of this series 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 series was designed by Corvaeraas, who voices the Brigadier in Guard Duty Classic and Guard Duty.
- This series originally aired from July 30, 2012 until August 15, 2012 on the now-defunct Steel Lion Media channel. It was later re-released on Syp The Mighty's personal channel from October 27, 2012 until October 28, 2012. It was compiled into a single special on February 8, 2017 and re-released on the Spite Box channel.
- 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, also re-released on Syp The Mighty's personal channel.
- Had this series continued, 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 series was filmed, edited, and written week by week when it first aired, with Syp getting burnt out during the production of its unmade fourth episode and leading to the premature ending of Major Malfunction.
- As director, editor, lead writer, and co-creator, Syp retained ownership of the series after Steel Lion Media dissolved.
- This series was considered a standalone series without any ties to Guard Duty when it was first made, only retroactively made canonical by WarGames.
- As a result, this is the only Guard Duty Classic project to not feature Geff Rodrigo, Mitchell Miller, nor The Spartan.
