"Where The Poopsmith's going, he doesn't need good smells!"

In 1985, Universal Pictures released Back to the Future. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, this science-fiction comedy stars Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a young man whose friend Dr. Emmett Brown constructs a time machine that takes Marty to his parents' adolescent years. The highest grossing movie of the year, Back to the Future spawned two sequels and a cartoon. The Homestar Runner characters seem to be entertained by Back to the Future since they incorporate elements of the movie into their cartoons.
