Fun Facts

Explanations

• The Limozeen appearance is part of The Surprise Party shows at Atlanta's 10 High Club, hosted by Y-O-U.

Trivia

She was only a 1-7 inch Dell...

• The TV in this toon previously appeared on the Caleb Rentpayer show in Bug In Mouth Disease.
• The "Pentium 3" computer is actually one of the Dells The Brothers Chaps use to animate, and is shown in a picture from the Atlanta Journal Constitution Interview.

Remarks

• This toon used to only be found in the New Stuff menu but not in any other page of the TV Time Toons Menu; it can now be found in the category Shorts.
• That computer they have is a Dell of the same design as one that came out in 2000. Dell computers look different now. Also, the "Pentium 3" they mentioned was only in production 1999-2003.

Inside References

• Lazor was one of the proposed band names in the email of the same name.
• The song they play is "Brain Sister", first heard in Summer Short Shorts.

Real-World References

• The music video is in the fashion of Pop-Up Video, a VH1 series that played music videos with info nuggets that would pop up periodically.
• Larry's guitar, the fact "Larry can't get past Song 1 on Easy", and the line "I Can't Do Oranges!" come from the game Guitar Hero.
  • The guitar is from the Wii version of the game.
  • The Guitar Hero controller features 5 different colored fret buttons, with harder difficulty settings requiring the use of progressively more buttons. On medium difficulty, all the buttons except orange are used.
  • A Nintendo Wii can be seen on the counter near the computer.
• "Crush" of Lazor is a reference to Slash of Guns N' Roses (and his current band, Velvet Revolver) and his trademark top hat, also a feature character in Guitar Hero 3.
