	[[~~File:cheat ghost buster~~.~~png\|~~[[~~File:cheat_ghost_buster.png\|180px\|thumb~~]]]]		'''''[[Ghostbusters]]''''' is a 1984 supernatural comedy film. The movie follows three former parapsychology professors (played by [[Harold Ramis]], [[Dan Aykroyd]], and [[Bill Murray]]; [[Ernie Hudson]] joins in a supporting role) who form a ghost-catching business called "Ghostbusters". [[Ghostbusters (franchise)\|The ''Ghostbusters'' franchise]] has spawned several films, animated series, and other works.

	~~<div class="magnify">~~		[[The Brothers Chaps]] occasionally reference ''Ghostbusters'' — typically recalling the movie when characters are searching for ghosts, or its cartoon adaptation ''The Real Ghostbusters'' with regard to [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|in-universe]] animated shows.

			* Email [[business trip]] — "You— you've earned it" is quoted by Strong Bad when rewarding [[Homestar Runner]]. In ''Ghostbusters'', Peter Venkman delivers this line while rewarding Egon Spengler with a Crunch Bar for discovering how to trap ghosts.
