Fun Facts
Trivia
- If you listen to this clip, then you'll hear the background music for when Marshie is talking at the end. Marshie's voice is added over this track.
- If you view the Flash file, there is a clickable area at the top-right corner outside the frame at the end, but does nothing.
Goofs
- When The Sad Kids turn around to face Marshie, their shadows(very faint) don't change direction.
Inside References
- The song that the Background Singers sing near the end is the same song that they sang at the end of the Fluffy Puff Commercial.
- The plates of marshmallows with various toppings are examples of concoctions.
- The goat sound played during 'pinner' is the same from Audition with Marzipan.
- "Pinner" is wearing a bowler hat and has a cigar.
- A possible reason that Homestar dislikes Marshie is that he seems to have replaced Homestar as Fluffy Puff mascot, a position he seemed to hold in Fluffy Puff Commercial.
Real-World References
- Galoob, mentioned in the page title, was a toy company that made Micro Machines, the Game Genie, and Star Wars and Star Trek action figures. It has since been bought by Hasbro. The phrase "New from Galoob!" was the last line of the commercials for these toys.
- "Kids ask for it by name" is possibly a reference to Meow Mix cat food, which uses the slogan "So good, cats ask for it by name!"
- "Made from the best stuff" is a possible reference to Snapple's slogan, "Made from the best stuff on earth."
- The batteries shown at "munch" are Duracell.
- Fluffy Puff "All Marshmallow Mayonnaise" might be referring to Marshmallow Fluff, a thick, white, marshmallow-flavored spread.
Fast Forward
- The "7" labeled salt shaker makes an appearance in record book.
- In an easter egg in island, pinner is one of the 6 foods.
