[edit] References
- Email morning routine — Strong Bad calls Strong Sad "Interruptor Jones".
- The System is Down — Strong Bad explaining "We've got our top men working on it 'round the clock" is a reference to what the government representative tells Indiana Jones about the status of the Ark of the Covenant at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Email best thing (DVD commentary) — Strong Bad compares his research on four-armed Grimace to the Grail diary, Dr. Henry Jones Sr.'s research on the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
- Halloween Potion-ma-jig — One of the fake options in the opening is "I'm selling these fine leather jackets..." a quote originally from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure and referenced in several later LucasArts titles.
- Email pizza joint — In response to the lengthy name of "Strong Bad's Strong Badian Pizz—", The Ugly One (in a sarcophagus) declares "I belong in a museum!", referencing Jones' refrain from Last Crusade that ancient artifacts "belong in a museum".
- Homestar Ruiner — Strong Bad's refrigerator is completely empty except for a jar of Fluffy Puff Mayo. This is most likely a reference to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, where Indy's refrigerator only had a lone jar of mayonnaise as well.
- Strong Badia the Free — While in the Homsar Reservation, asking Strong Sad about the tuning fork will prompt him to respond "It belongs in a museum!"
- Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective —
- Dangeresque says that the paintings in the office "belong in a museum!"
- Renaldo saying "All we want is the girl!" is a reference to Jones negotiating for Marion's release in Raiders.
- Dangeresque says "Ahh, Venice!", a line Jones repeats while visiting the city in Last Crusade.
- Uzi Bazooka shoots Dadgeresque in a manner very similar to when Indiana Jones's father is shot in Last Crusade.
- 8-Bit is Enough — When asking Strong Bad to help him find his lucky quarter, Homestar comments, "I hear you're the best digger in Cairo", a modified quote from Raiders.
- Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2 — Subtlefuge's description of Swampslash's abilities is similar to Indiana Jones' exaggerated description of Marcus Brody in Last Crusade: "He speaks a dozen languages[...] He'll blend in, disappear..."
- Halloween Hide & Seek — Asking Strong Bad about The Cheat will result in Strong Bad quoting the same Indiana Jones statement about Marcus Brody used in Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2, verbatim.
- @StrongBadActual Tweet (13 Jan 2023) — The Cheat provides an alternative to "tired old Indym'n Jones gifs": an animation of Strong Sad rapidly aging into a skeleton, mirroring Walter Donovan's fate in Last Crusade.
