Fun Facts
Explanations
- Route 66 is an old highway in the United States, which ran from Chicago to Santa Monica.
Trivia
- This is the first time Sticklyman has said anything.
- The .swf file is called "ween12_teaser.swf" rather then "weensaftey".
- This is the first time most of the main characters made an appearance since Which Ween Costumes? or A Decemberween Mackarel
- This teaser continues several gags from the previous three teasers: Jibblies 2 Teaser (2007), Most in the Graveyard Teaser (2008), and Doomy Tales of the Macabre Teaser (2009):
- Silhouetted characters (in the same order as the previous teasers)
- Action that occurs after waiting
- Hidden text behind the characters
- Strong Bad depicted in an outrageous costume.
- This is the first teaser to not immediately start with the silhouetted characters scene, as well as the first one to be listed in a category other than the New Stuff category on the TV Time Toons Menu.
Remarks
- halloweensafety.gov is not an actual website.
- This toon is the second toon in a row (following Fish Eye Lens) to contain no back button.
Goofs
- On the loading screen, the ground is technically a round box, and can potentially fill the whole ground, but part of the rounded area is still visible, and even the edge can be seen.
- At the end of the toon, both Strong Sad and The Poopsmith lack arms, despite having visible arms.
Inside References
- In the beginning, The Brothers Chaps refer to the characters as Dumb Animal Characters.
- Homestar's echoing voice in the first sign idea is the same as Homestarmecium from the sbemail highschool.
- Homestar mentions asking for a challenge in the second sign.
- Homestar compliments somebody's costume (in this case, his own) in the "Hey, X, I really like your X costume" format.
- In an Easter Egg, Crack Stuntman mentions Pistols For Pandas.
- Mikezipan is a Portmanteau.
Real-World References
- "That one guy from Mad Mazagine" Homestar is referring to is the Black Spy from Spy vs. Spy.
- In an Easter Egg, Crack Stuntman's appearance looks like that of the original design for Pac-Man from the original Arcade Games.
YouTube Version
- Similar to the YouTube version of Fish Eye Lens, after the end of the toon, a group of nine thumbnails appears, parodying YouTube's related video thumbnails. Some of the thumbnails are similar to the ones seen in Fish Eye Lens, while others are new.
- After the thumbnails, the Crack Stuntman Easter egg is shown, followed by Mikezipan's Answering Machine, and finally, the Easter Egg with Tiny-Handed Strong Bad and Homestar.
