[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Explanations
- Shrimp po' boys are submarine sandwiches that contain pieces of fried shrimp as their main ingredient.
- The SPF on sunscreen is the Sun Protection Factor. The higher the SPF rating, the more it can protect skin from solar radiation.
- The chemical created by the combination of perfume and body odor is sulfur mustard, known by its common name of mustard gas. The formula Strong Bad recites, Cl-CH2-CH2-S-CH2-CH2-Cl, is based on the actual structure of the compound.
- Ozone Killa Hairspray refers to chlorofluorocarbons, a class of chemicals used in spray propellants such as hairspray that have been known to contribute to ozone depletion.
- CliffsNotes are a series of student study guides that explain literary and other works in condensed form, often used to avoid actually reading the works.
[edit] Inside References
- What's Her Face states that the car was given to her from her real dad. The intro to Teen Girl Squad Issue 6 mentions that she has a step-dad.
- The ringtone uses music from Brainkrieg, first mentioned in death metal.
- The Ugly One loses her life to a robotic penguin.
- Cheerleader cheers on the Growlbacks, the name of the high school team first mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issue 4.
- If Strong Bad fails to kill any girls after he has kicked Homestar off the writing desk, he complains that he's created a train-mess.
[edit] Real-World References
- The harpooned whale that So and So imagines is based on Moby Dick, a classic novel by Herman Melville.
- The cockroach card is a reference to The Metamorphosis, a story Franz Kafka wrote about a man who is transformed into an insect, hence the shoe reading "Air Kafka".
- The woman taking Cheerleader's photograph is Medusa, who in Greek mythology was a gorgon. She possessed the power to petrify those who gazed upon her, either through direct eye contact or upon any part of her body depending on the myth.
- The line "I like the way you dribble up and down the court" is a variation of a line from the song Basketball by Kurtis Blow.
