| |
| - | On [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/ AlbinoBlackSheep.com], there are many sightings embedded in many of its user-created flash cartoons. For example, on an Animutation, there is a screenshot from "StrongBadZone" and you can hear "STINY! GET ME A DANISH!" Also, the filename is a giveaway that the creator is a fan of Homestar Runner.

Also when you them talking about how Samus is defenceless without her suit zoom in on the second shelf a book is the Homestar Runner enters the Strongest Man in the World contest. Also, also on that shelf is a book that's titled "Gelatinous Eyebrows."

They also mention "E3 20X6". In addition to all of that, if you watch the commentary, it mentions that he got the inspiration for the "Claymation Simulator" from Strong Mad's Doug the Dino, in strong bad email [[the facts]]. Also in Fox Mcloud's arwing, there is a book called "TROGDOR The musical".
