===Real-World References===
-
* The menu items "The Original," "The Regular," and "The New Original" are references to the 1984 mockumentary [[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|This Is Spinal Tap]]. In an interview scene, the band members explain they initially went by the name "The Originals," but another band already used that name so they changed to "The New Originals." The other band eventually renamed themselves "The Regulars."
+
*The Thick 'n Nasty burger is a reference to both the Hardee's Thickburger and McDonald's Big N' Tasty burger.
-
*The Isoceles Fish Sandwich is a parody of a [[McDonald's]] menu item (like most items in the short): the [[Wikipedia:Filet-O-Fish|Filet-O-Fish]]. The Filet-O-Fish is a rectangular fish patty on a round bun, and other than the shape of the patty, the Isoceles Fish Sandwich strongly resembles it. The Filet-O-Fish was introduced by McDonald's primarily for heavily Catholic markets (due to restrictions on consumption of non-fish meats on Fridays and during Lent), and does not sell well in markets with a small or non-existent Catholic population.
+
-
*The Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake is a reference to how many fast food outlets, like McDonald's, are touting their new "high-quality" coffee drinks as a way of competing with [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]].
+
-
*The sign on Strong Bad's cardboard box boat reads "HMS Locash", a reference to Robert LoCash, screenwriter of [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], [[Wikipedia:Naked_Gun_33⅓:_The_Final_Insult|Naked Gun 33⅓]], and [[Wikipedia:BASEketball|BASEketball]].
+
-
*The phrase "Save the Blubb-O Whale", which appears on [[Marzipan's protest signs]], is derived from the name of [http://www.savethewhales.org/ Save the Whales], a non-profit organization founded in 1977 which focuses on marine mammal welfare.
+
-
*The Thick 'n Nasty is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]], a hamburger from McDonald's that was designed to compete with [[Wikipedia:Burger King|Burger King]]'s Whopper.
+
-
*Strong Bad's line, "Thar she blows!" is a famous quote from the [[Wikipedia:Herman Melville|Herman Melville]] novel [[Moby Dick]].
