Trivia
- Phil appears as an unlockable character in the video game Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
- Despite his son Bam's reputation of crazy, wild, and all around out of line antics, Phil is, amazingly, able to put up with everything his son does, one of which includes appearing on episodes of Jackass and Viva La Bam where Bam inevitably slaps and pushes Phil around all day long like a deranged maniac. Even after all of the abuse, most of the time on the shows you will find Phil watching and laughing at whatever it is Bam and his crew are doing, even if it's a huge and cruel prank on Phil's wife and Bam's mother, April Margera ("Ape").
- He looks after his son Bam's financial side of his businesses. When Bam was asked if he would care if Phil ever ran away with it, Bam said he deserved the money.From an interview with Bam on http://www.elementskateboards.com
