*The way Strong Bad "cremates" the Paper using his BMW lighter after it "dies" is very reminiscent of a Viking funeral, where the deceased is cremated atop a pyre made from a boat, usually being lit by an archer launching a burning arrow at it (in this case, the printer is used as a stand-in for the boat used for Viking funerals).
