Expen$e Account Ones Easter Egg

I respectfully disagree with the assertion that this Easter Egg is a reference to the "Real American Heroes" Bud Light Campaign. The voice-over for this spot was, in my opinion, a pretty good Ted Koppel impersonation. I think the idea was just to have this spot sound more stuffy and business-like, but, if others agree, mentioning the Ted Koppel impersonation may be worth it.

I wouldn't say Ted Koppel is the source of the voice, but the structure and tone of the commercial is a reference to either the Bud Light campaign or Miller commercials. I'm willing to accept that the community will feel it's TTATOT, but it's clear to me that the voice is clearly an attempt at mimicking a particular voice. wbwolf (t | ed) 19:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I also don't think its a reference to the Real American Heroes. The voice didnt match at all

It sounded to me more like the Miller High Life commercials voice where they talk about "living the high life" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lb28iZKHJc (example)

I'm sure it's a Miller High Life parody. — It's dot com 23:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

The Field

Looks like. They're all the time tweaking those bushes. --DorianGray 18:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Take off wedding rings

This is not a reference to Strongbad's boxing glove hands at all, but the tendency of some male business people on the road to remove their wedding rings to hide the fact that they are married to other women they might meet. I moved this to explanations and removed the inside reference. A mention of vaugly hand related things doen't make a reference. --Foolster41 19:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

"You - You've earned it."

Is this a reference to the scene in Ghostbusters where Venkman gives the candy bar to Egon? Just a coincidence?

Oh, wow. Why didn't I recognise that? o_o --DorianGray 20:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Conglomerate...

I'm pretty sure that conglomerate is a rock. A sedimentary rock, at that. I have no idea what TBC would be referencing though... --Chiron 23:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

• A conglomerate rock is a bunch of rocks formed into one. A business conglomerate is a bunch of companies formed into one. -141.133.160.52 23:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Delivery-ceivables

in the transcript for the last easter egg is says "Delivery Receivables", but if you listen to it, the announcer elides it into one word, like Delivericeivables. Not quite sure if there should be a note explaining it. -Telamon 23:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Homestar's Soles

• Homestar's feet don't have stars in the soles, as they did in One, Two, One, Two.
  

Is this notable? I'm not really STUFFing it now because I'm neutral to its inclusion. Bad Bad Guy 23:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
