Secrets About Foster's

[Mr. Marshmallow]

I don't know if this really constitutes as a "secret" or if it is a direct nod to anything but, in "House of Bloo's", the big monster Extremeasaurus (I think it was called that). That looked ALOT like something out of Mario Brothers.

You know the Chain Chompers? Those ball and chains with razor sharp teeth that snap at you when you walk by. I know it's a loose connection but that was the first thing that came to mind when i saw it.

It kinda reminded me of the "Omnidroid" in The Incredibles, only with a mouth! Guess I'm such a die-hard Pixar geek that I can't help it, but apparently so is Craig, from the subtle(and not-so-subtle)Pixar references he sneaks in!

It would be pretty darn funny if Buddy Pine showed up at the Creator Reunion Picnic, now, wouldn't it?

It would be shocking actually, considering he's dead.

By "Secrets", it seems that you mean in-jokes or subtle references...you all have done a good job of spotting them, but I'm surprised you missed some of the more obvious ones. If we're talking 80's game references, what about the very direct Pac-Man tribute in "House of Bloo's", when the Extremeasaurus loses its legs and chases Ghost-lookalike Bloo around the junkyard, complete with top-down view and NES-style synth music? :bloogrin

Or on the Powerpuff Girls subject, there was always the Mojo Jojo cameo in the pilot (complete with a very brief three-note musical hint of Mojo's theme music), but I doubt you missed that...more subtle was Bloo mentioning "Townsville" in his list of cities his business would be supplying in "Cookie Dough", or more subtle still, the design of the sugar box used to "flavour" the punch in "Partying Is Such Sweet Soiree" is a replica of the one used in the PPG opening sequence...

Billy the Squid & Mandy the Owl
This is not a coincidence. =P

I think "Billy the Squid" is a play on words for Billy the Kid.

Cheese and GIR (from Invader ZIM) act similar.


They both say random things

and

They both scream high pitched.

Also they have small torsos.

In Land of the Flea, another reference was made to the mayor of Townsville in the Powerpuff Girls.

The rest are already said here. No more from me
