Strong Mad as Gossamer
From the funny DVD commentary:
>MIKE: Matt always throws in this stuff from old Looney Tunes that I don't know. >
>MATT: Well, I mean, it's subconscious.
The Looney Tunes shorts produced by Warner Bros. have inspired many animators, including The Brothers Chaps.

- Email bottom 10 — When displaying #6 on Strong Bad's bottom 10, which is "The foul stench of wet The Cheat", The Cheat is seen sopping wet next to a glass of water and a tall ladder, which is likely a reference to several Looney Tunes cartoons which featured someone doing a high dive into a glass of water, instead of a tank of water, such as Stage Door Cartoon.
