Lil Steiny?
I thought Lil' Steiny was a reference to superhero name... --Dwedit 23:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- No, in an email, it's pronounced, "Stiny." The Valentine Bros.
- This is actually a double reference to Stiny and Steinway & Sons. It's not a particular reference to "superhero name" because Stiny was yelled at in more than one email (see Stiny's article). —BazookaJoe 23:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Though, now that I think about it, the only use of Li'l Stiny came from superhero names. A reword is possible. —BazookaJoe 00:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I assumed it was a ref to Thy Dungeonman 3, where Thy Dungeonman's mug was referred to as "Steiny". --DorianGray
- That's a similar joke, but it derives from a completely different kind of "stein", so it's not really a reference here. — It's dot com 04:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

About the "Gun-haver" thing
Listen...everybody and their dog seems to think that "Gunhaver! You actually Have A GUN!" is a reference about Gunhaver's never really been seen with a gun...uh...HELLO? HIS FREAKIN NAME IS
"Gun"-"Haver"...DUH!

- But he hasn't ever been SEEN with a gun, which is the irony. —BazookaJoe 00:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Fourth Wall?
"The Blue Laser Commander's comment about Reinforcements' camera pretends to break the Fourth Wall." While this may be partly true, the joke (to me) was the fact it explained that Gunhaver could see into the Thanksgiving dinner somehow. Many shows have villans/heroes that somehow bring up a location on a screen with no explanation as of how they are seeing it. 76.212.89.130 04:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think you're right. In fact, TBC made mention of this joke several times on the DVD commentary for the other Cheat Commandos toons. — It's dot com 04:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Real-world reference?
The "make a milkshake from this food" easter-egg is a reference to the "will it blend" video blog, which has shown how to make disgusting milkshakes such as "cochicken" (http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=cochicken) and most recently the "thanksgiving dinner" (http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=thanksgiving).
Lime
It says the goof is fixed. I just watched it, and it's not fixed. I updated the wiki, and it got reverted, saying that it is fixed. I just watched it again after that, and it's not fixed. I don't want to edit it again, because it will just get reverted. --DumDe 17:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
