Fun Facts
Explanations
- The announcer saying"Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails," is a reference to the nails impaling the marshmallows and batteries surrounding the plate.
Trivia
- If you listen to this clip, then you'll hear the background music for when Marshie is talking at the end. Marshie's voice is added over this track.
- The quote "I hate that freakin' marshmallow" is a reference to Fluffy Puff Commercial, when Homestar tried to advertise Fluffy Puffs, but flubbed his lines (similar to First Time Here). Marshie evidently took his job.
Goofs
- The kids and the mayonnaise jar have shadows, but the sign that fell on the kids, and Marshie himself, do not.
Inside References
- The song that the Background Singers sing near the end is the same song that they sang at the end of the Fluffy Puff Commercial.
Real-World References
- Galoob, mentioned in the page title, was a toy company that made Micro Machines, the Game Genie, and Star Wars and Star Trek action figures. It has since been bought by Hasbro. The phrase "New from Galoob!" was the last line of the commercials for these toys.
- Kids ask for it by name is a possible reference to Meow Mix cat food, where the slogan is "so good, cats ask for it by name!"
- "Made from the best stuff" is a possible reference to Snapple where the slogan is "Made from the best stuff on earth."
