  • The title of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer is a reference to A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
  • According to writer Eric Pearson, the action scene in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer took up most of the studio's budget for the rest of the One-Shots, forcing Pearson to use the remaining budget for The Consultant, a One-Shot that features Jasper Sitwell and Coulson speaking in a restaurant.[1]
