- Not to mention by referring to Coach Z, the Poopsmith and the KOT as "characters." -invisible_map
Stick Costume
Does anyone know what The Stick was supposed to be dressed as? For some random reason, I'm thinking Donald Duck. -141.133.145.118 00:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- nvm, just looked at the costume page. It's so fitting now! -141.133.145.118 00:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- The Stick is Lowly Worm. 207.62.231.2 00:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
No Interactivity
Does anyone else believe this toon broke a tradition for h*r halloween specials? In 2001, they had that trick-or-treat game, in 2003, they had a brief scene making fun of the trick-or-treat game, and in 2005, they had a potion game. This would be the 1st h*r Halloween special out of the 1st released in an odd-numbered year not to include interactivity other than the usual Easter Eggs. Bad Bad Guy 00:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
About the mirror
There have been mirrors like that before the release of the Man of the Year 2006 issue (I caught a glimpse of one in a movie when flipping channels). I think saying it is a reference to that exact issue is a bit of a stretch. 207.119.175.50 00:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the mirror is a reference to an actual mirror of that type, similar to the one featured in The Big Lebowski. (The Dude peers into this mirror in The Big Lebowski's office.) Link The "You" cover is too big of a stretch, especially when one of Pom-Pom's previous costumes was Walter Sobchak. -ReverendTed 01:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Kids Choice Awards
When Marzipan says, "I don't know" and then the green slime oozes on her, that was a reference to the Nick Kids Choice Awards.-Ava 00:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, from what I've heard, the Nickolodeon slime tradition began on YCDTOTV. -141.133.145.118 01:49, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Shower scene?
The following fact was STUFFed — let's see it can be resolved here first:
Coach Z's shower scene is a reference to the famous shower scene in the horror movie Psycho.
There was one vote and an argument against, from NFITC1: "I've seen the original Psycho and it's nothing alike it except they're in a shower." So, what do people think. Is this a reference or not, and why? 
Trey56 01:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think that the connection to Psycho is tenuous at best. Coach Z's scene did not feature several closeups of him being attacked, nor was there the trademark high pitched staccato strings. Those would be the strongest connections to the film. wbwolf (t | ed) 01:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think that Coach Z's line before getting attacked is a reference, not the attack itself. —Shwoo 01:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Wbwolf, I think you're right — if it was a reference to Psycho, they really would have used the trademark music. More likely, it's just a nod to the typical "shower scene" in horror movies (which originated with Psycho, I think). So, mayhaps the fact could be modified to refer to the stereotypical scene, rather than this specific movie. Trey56 01:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Classic Nick
There's a classic Nickelodeon theme going.
The Stick: Lowly Worm from Busy World of Richard Scarry: early Nick Jr.
Strong Bad: Beetlejuice, from a cartoon on Nick
Homestar: Artie, from Pete & Pete which was on Nick in the 80s and 90s
Homsar: the Typewriter guy from Sesame Street, which was once on Nick
You Can't Do That On Television- on Nick in the 80s

- Beetlejuice was not a cartoon that was exclusive to Nickelodeon, but ran on other outlets (including Cartoon Network) throughout the 1990s. I know Sesame Street is on Noggin, Nick/CTW's spin-off, but I don't think it was on Nick proper. Still, three references (two exclusive, since Richard Scarry was also a series of books) is pretty strong. wbwolf (t | ed) 01:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- What about The Cheat? Was Danger Mouse on Nick too? -141.133.145.118 01:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
