in 2018, holden nowell talked publicly about the gay scene in the music video. "the fact that they had to make me gay at the end of the video … it was all very … i didn't like being known as the gay guy in the 'call me maybe' video. it was just something i wasn't used to," nowell told iheartradio canada. the original storyline called for the neighbor to kiss the male band member, but nowell suggested the alternative storyline, where he just gave the guitarist his phone number: "i was like, 'i'm going to be completely honest with you. i'm not going to kiss a guy, especially for $500.' i said, 'i really don't think i'm comfortable kissing a guy for a music video [...] i said, 'you know what? what if instead of me kissing a guy at the end of the video, what if i just give a guy my number or something like that?'".

in march 2013, franchise entertainment group's ceo, paul uniacke told "sunshine coast daily" in response to a local maroochydore outlet closing that, "i'm not happy that maroochydore has gone. it's not something we like to see, absolutely there is a human cost to what's happening here." he went on to add, "the worst thing that happens in a rationalisation is losing stores and losing good people. we've been up on the coast with blockbuster for a number of years and with video ezy for about 20 years." uniacke said that video ezy/blockbuster was not alone in facing australian post-global financial crisis retail conditions, leaving video ezy express rental kiosks to fill the void left by closed stores. he said, "but mark my words, you will see us back in a short space of time. we don't want to leave that territory without the brand too long, we want to stay strong." adding, "and they are lined up out the door to run kiosks in there, so you will see blockbuster, or maybe video ezy kiosks flowing through there." but in the same interview he admitted, "absolutely we will have less stores, but i don't want to do away with them because they form a valuable part of the business."
