* 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."

*Sandwiches named "The Original", "The Regular" and "The New Original" may be a reference to the pseudo-band [[Spinal Tap]]. Early in their history they changed their name to The New Originals when they discovered that The Originals was already in use. According to the band, The Originals later changed their name to The Regulars.

*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 [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|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 the movie [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], a mockumentary about a fictional rap group that became famous for the song "Straight Outta Locash". Locash is also the name of the town the band started from.
