Edgar Wright has a thing about super-subtle and meta references in his movies. He's all about showing his love not only for existing films but also for the exchange involved in hiding references and tiny jokes that take ages to find.

At the start of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World when Sex Bob-Omb are practicing in the house, their amps are made by a company called "Lame Brand", but later, as they're grown successful enough to play the Chaos Theater the logos on their amps now read "Sweet Brand".

Clearly, they've gone up in the world.
