-In [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Homestar's line about houses giving away lead candies is a reference to a moral panic that occurred during the 1980s, in which there was much fear of people giving away candy that had been tampered with to children. Some of the more popular suspects were apples injected with drugs, candies with needles broken off into them, and as Homestar remarks, pieces of lead wrapped in candy wrappers.
