"Perducci's gotta be here around in Istanbul somewhere!"

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey. In Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?, Perducci was said to be in the city. Because Strong Bad couldn't film on location, The Cheat was made to wear an Istanbul sign to signify Dangeresque's presence in the area. The sign is a sandwich board, reminiscent of the one worn by The Cheat ("The Popular Vote") in A Decemberween Pageant.

In Strong Badia the Free, the name Concessionstantinople references Constantinople, Istanbul's former name.
