Lighter mention
Does the lighter that Crack Stuntman uses to burn the $1 bill count as an inside reference to the lighters that Strong Bad and The Cheat frequently use?
- That's what I assumed. I'm surprised it's not mentioned!
Capitalization of title
I moved this page to Pistols for Pandas because that's how it's listed on the Toons menu. — It's dot com 17:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

We find out what happened to Crack after the incedent and learn more about Pistols For Pandas. User: MICGAGUH

South park reference
When the stick figure of crack is eating the cereal, the way his mouth/head moves reminds me of the canadians from south park. Not sure it's strong enough of a connection for a reference or not, but thought i'd bring it up. — Defender1031*Talk 21:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Swearing?
Does the context in which Crack uses "screwed" near the beginning strike anyone else as borderline not-family-friendly? If so, is this notable? -Ingiald21:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- He got screwed out of a job... how is that context not family-friendly? — Defender1031*Talk 21:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, maybe "context" wasn't the right word, but usually when "screw" is used as a verb that way it has sexual connotations. I dunno, it's just not something I would use in mixed company and struck me as a little odd. -Ingiald 22:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- You are incorrect there. It's often used as a term simply implying "cheated" or "taken advantage of". — Defender1031*Talk 22:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- I get that that's what it meant, but in that sense it's being used metaphorically much in like as a certain four-letter word it's serving as a euphemism for that can be used in the same way and...you know what? I give up. At this point you either know what I'm trying to say or you don't, I don't think anything else I say is going to change things. -Ingiald 00:06, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- You are correct. Not that long ago, using "screwed" in a context other than the mechanical sense was considered vulgar. It has a sexual connotation at its roots, and it did in fact mean to be "taken advantage of," in the same sense that "taken advantage of" means that someone has taken sexual liberties without consent. It has become more acceptable of late.146.122.71.68 17:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Cause I'm don't get the reference
Other than the concept of employment and the unusual use of 'I'm', I don't see how this is clearly a reference to Temporari-o's. Can we get a consensus on this?

- "I'm" incorrectly used and the word "paid" make it clear enough in my mind to be a reference. — Defender1031*Talk 00:09, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Disapearing Truck
Would the truck, going into a small building, be an example of hammerspace?
- I don't think so, since it's an illustration. Not part of the "real world". — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 08:27, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Not-Profit?
Okay, does it not sound like Crack says Pistols for Pandas is a "not-profit" organization, as opposed to non-profit? Thelongestpants
- Nope. "non-profit" is an actual word and the second N sound is clearly audible. — Defender1031*Talk 01:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well, yeah, I'm not an idiot. I know non-profit is a real word, but I hear "not-profit" every time. Oh well. Thelongestpants
