[edit] Clarifications
Clarifications: The GI Joe Talking Duke/Teen Talk Barbie voice-chip reversal was an intentional prank, not a manufacturer snafu; Ling-Ling is mimicking Leia, not Obi-Wan, when declaring Foxxy to be "our only hope". Also, there is no such thing as a television program called Lost; that is an urban legend.
First two clairifications are correct, however Lost is an incredibly popular or at least well known show in the United States and worldwide for that matter. There's a rather well done article on wikipedia. Lost has also won several awards and usually takes in high ratings are you sure you're not thinking of something else?

- I'm pretty sure the person who said that was joking. (Note that it's the only one of those three that didn't make it into the article.) Raymondluxuryacht 22:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I see thanks. Michael Cook 17:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wooldoor's language
>Wooldoor, in his Dutch costume, cocking his head and putting his hand on his hip while saying in a Dutch accent, "Ja, for sure!"
After Wooldoor realizes they can't leave the van, he says: "Ach du lieber Augustin!" which is definitely German (I should know). It's the first line of an old-fashioned children's song ("Ach du lieber Augustin, alles ist hin"), but it's used here as "Oh my God!" or similar. I did not see the clip you were referring to, but "Ja" means "yes" in both, Dutch and German.
- I've reworded the note to try to account for the discrepancy.Raymondluxuryacht 20:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

- I agree, Wooldoor's outfit and Captain Hero calling him "Mr. van der Gilten" implies Dutch but his line contains another german word:
- "You're so big und strong." The corresponding dutch word would be "en" which sounds very similar to "and". So there's still a discrepancy between Wooldoor's appearance and his speech, a little confusion between the two languages maybe?
[edit] References
Do you think we should remove the foreskin/circumcision reference? I don't think that was a deliberate reference to anything. It seemed more like a throwaway line.Chariset 02:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Probably was. I don't really see a need to keep it.Raymondluxuryacht 03:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
There are references to King of the Hill and The Day After Tomorrow that aren't mentioned.--Jeffro77 06:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- As far as the King of the Hill reference goes, all they really do is mention the show and say it's boring. I'm not sure what kind of note we could put in there that wouldn't be essentially just retelling the joke. (I don't know what the reference to The Day After Tomorrow is.)Raymondluxuryacht 07:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't seen King of the Hill. Is there anything specific about the helmet that is relevant to the show? The shadow creeping over the vehicle appears to be representative of the nasty snap-freezyness that 'chases' the characters in the movie. The characters huddled around the fire, and the two hooded rescuers are references to TDAT; I think the music may also be taken from that part of the movie. Also, the lighting pole that falls over (when the van hits it) that happens to prevent the rear door of the vehicle from opening seems to be a reference to the kind of dire co-incidences that befall characters in the 'Final Destination' series of films.--Jeffro77 10:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't watch King of the Hill regularly, so there may be a reference I'm missing, but as far as I know the helmet isn't a reference to anything in the show; it's just the writers' way of saying the show is boring.Raymondluxuryacht 17:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References II
Isn't there a reference to Charlton Heston? He always said: "You can have my gun when you can pry it loose from my cold, dead hand". And Hero said: "If you want this gun you'll have to pry it out of my cold, death hands."
- Yeah, he did. Good catch.Raymondluxuryacht 21:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
When Foxxy Love arrives at the Hot Topic store, looking for their merchandise, did I mishear or did she identify herself as Foxy Brown? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.40.5.134 (talk) 12:56, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
- She was just mangling the names of all the housemates she mentioned; that was the joke.Raymondluxuryacht 17:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
