Appearances

• Email lackey — Strong Bad's remark about "Super service", which he says in a Brooklyn accent, refers to the short Violent is the Word for Curly.
• Email virus — Strong Bad says, "A wise guy, eh?" in imitation of Moe Howard.
  • This was repeated in Compy Catalog.
• Teen Girl Squad Issue 13 (DVD commentary) — The Brothers Chaps, during the scene with Momkins, make reference to The Robonic Stooges, which was a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon show about the comedy group as clumsy superheroes.
• SBCG4AP Dev Blog - Apr. 24, 2008 — Strong Bad claims to launch a "heat-seeking 3-Stooges eye-poker missile" in his game. The hallmark slapstick comedy of the Stooges often included eye-poking.
