• The Poopsmith is dressed as King Darunia which is incorrectly spelled King Dirunia

Inside References

Real World References

• Strong Bad's comment during the costume section about the moon falling down is a reference to Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In that game, the moon would fall after 3 in-game days (72 minutes real-world time), causing a game over unless Link reset time using the Ocarina of Time. His (sarcastic) comment about it not being a "flustercating" way of playing is a reference to how this time limit causes the gamer to rush around, having to complete all their errands within 72 minutes.
• The song Homestar hums for the Poopsmith to dance to is Saria's Song from Ocarina of Time, which King Darunia enjoys in that game.
• Marzipan says "Crystal crystal on the ball", a reference to "Mirror mirror on the wall" from Sleeping Beauty.
• This toon is done in the style of the poetry of Edgar Allen Poe
