Hanna-Barbera was an animation studio founded by William Hanna and Joe Barbera, who were originally known for the Tom & Jerry theatrical shorts produced for MGM. Hanna-Barbera productions were a staple of television animation from the 1960s until William Hanna's death in 2001. In keeping with The Brothers Chaps intention with creating Saturday morning cartoons, references to these shows occasionally appear in the toons, mostly to their sound effects.
Appearances
- The Luau — As everyone runs over to Marzipan's luau, the bongo drum sound used to simulate running footsteps in Hanna-Barbera cartoons plays.
- The tire screech sound used to simulate stopping also comes from the same cartoons.
- Email radio — In the Old-Timey Easter egg, Old-Timey Strong Bad says, "Drat and double drat!", which is a catchphrase spoken by Dick Dastardly.
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 7 (DVD commentary) — The Brothers Chaps mention A Pup Named Scooby Doo and The Flintstone Kids.
- Email highschool — The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries is a parody of the countless teenage detective shows produced by Hanna-Barbera. The Easter Egg with the Old-Timey characters as "Romans living in Roman times" was inspired by the short lived series The Roman Holidays.
- Email theme song — The heart background is similar to the one used in The Powerpuff Girls.
- Rumble Red is a spoof on The Great Gazoo, a character from The Flintstones.
- Email secret identity (DVD commentary) — Homestar Runner mentions that he loves The Jettisons.
- Strong Bad Gameways — Strong Bad warns Wii players to avoid "flotsam and Jetsons".
- Strong Badia the Free — In Cave Girl Squad, Ogg drives a car similar to the one from The Flintstones.
- Most in the Graveyard — Homsar dresses as Captain Caveman.
- The Best Decemberween Ever — The Cheat's head exploding when he opened a present is possibly a reference to The Smurfs, in which Jokey Smurf would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.
- Email haircut — In the "napping Strong Sad" Easter egg, Strong Sad says the names of Jokey Smurf and Brainy Smurf from the animated television series The Smurfs. (When Strong Sad mentions "that Carpenter Smurf", he is probably referring to Handy Smurf.)
- A Folky Tale — In the commentary, Matt mentions Brainy Smurf.
