Narrator

"The narrator at the end, as well as his rhyming cadence and the background organ music, is a reference to the Ghost Host of Disney's Haunted Mansion."

Really? It seemed like a blatant reference to Vincent Price in Micheal Jackson's Thriller. — 73.11.214.10 (Talk | contribs) 03:29, 30 October 2015 (left unsigned)

Title of the episode

If you try to share the link to the Homestar Page, it titles the episode as "St. Cadaverstump's Home for Wayward Sbemails" & not "The House That Gave Sucky Tricks." — 73.11.214.10 (Talk | contribs) 03:32, 30 October 2015 (left unsigned)

That's because when you share a link, it takes the page title in the tab at the top. - Catjaz63 04:02, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

TiVo?

Does anyone think we should add that Strong Mad is dressed up like a TiVo? 67.243.54.46 02:08, 31 October 2015

The Goblin

The Goblin is not in this cartoon. 76.102.80.126 18:14, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes. And? He's also not in The House That Gave Sucky Treats, Halloween Fairstival, Doomy Tales of the Macabre, or I Killed Pom Pom. --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 23:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Marizpan's shoes

Is it worth pointing out that in the pile of shoes are a pair of distinctly marizpan looking shoes, suggesting that she regularly wears shoes like that?--14.200.191.4 22:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

That's speculation; which is not something we document. - Catjaz63 22:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Actually, it's not speculation at all, it's a reference to the running gag about Marzipan's legs and warrants inclusion both here and there. — Defender1031*Talk 02:19, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

"A 220 in four-fourty-five"

Could we get an Explanation on this? Is "220 in 4:45" even remotely impressive?

Horror Experience Room

The whole "immersive horror experience room" is at least a reference to Race to Escape (complete with ridiculous leaps in logic).

And other things of that nature. There are many such things in existence. — Defender1031*Talk 20:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

The New Face of Terror

Is it me, or is Large Bean a dead-on parody of Slenderm'n? The design is similar, they are both "unsettling" rather than graphic, and they both have become popular enough to warrant plush toys (which are even closer in design).
And if you want to get really nit-picky, the scene keeps jump-cutting between the room itself and Strong Bad watching on a live feed, where there is a small amount of static.
Yeah, that last one was a stretch... But still. And I'm aware that this is now a controversial topic, but if the toon is referencing it then it should be added. -- ■■   PURPLE  WRENCH   ■■ 17:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Just a Gigolo

  • When Strong Bad says "Why if I had a haunted house, I think it would turn out a little something..." could be a reference to David Lee Roth's "Just a Gigolo" song and music video.

Could someone please explain which specific part of the music video this line "could" reference, since I haven't seen it myself? BBG 18:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

If noone knows the connection, and thus whether or not it seems that strong, does this entry still seem worth keeping on the toon's page? BBG 14:12, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

I Wanna Speak To Cookie Puss, Man!

Could the KoT's Cookie Puss line be a reference to an early Beastie Boys number by the same name? I only ask because the Beasties are referenced multiple times throughout the site.

nope. — Defender1031*Talk 20:18, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
I know Cookie Puss is a real mascot, but this wouldn't be the first sneaky reference. [1] [2] [3] YoghNess
I don't know why you call those references "sneaky", but there's absolutely NOTHING here to suggest KoT is referring to anything other than the mascot. — Defender1031*Talk 16:01, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Beetlejuice Cartoon, maybe?

I'm curious if Homestar's song might be a reference to an old episode of the Beetlejuice animated series which took place on a tropical island and ended with the same "Da-bo-dee-bo-da!" scat song.
