Fun Facts

A glitched screenshot from the game's development, shared to @StrongBadActual.

Explanations

• A "made man" is a mafia term for a fully initiated member of the organization, as opposed to being an associate.

Trivia

• The title card first appears with the text "Keep My Enemies Closer", with a bullet hole removing the "C" as a comma is added to reveal the true title.
• Rif Simken is said to have 16 full hitters, 12 resists, and 37 MRI's.
  • A no-hitter is a game where a pitcher plays all innings without a single batter on the opposing team getting a hit.
  • A resist, like the full hitter and the MRI, is not a valid baseball statistic. The correct term is assist which, although a valid baseball statistic, is more generally associated with other sports such as soccer, basketball, and ice hockey.
  • An MRI refers to Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is used in brain scans. An RBI (Runs Batted In) is how many players scored runs while the player was at bat.

Inside References

• Perducci has a timeshare in the Coches Mountains.
• St. Pod was previously mentioned in Sbemailiarized!.
• Much like in the chair, a supposedly inanimate object based on Homestar Runner speaks and is brushed over.
• Dangeresque wants to watch the Ola Toya fight, mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issue 13.
• Dangeresque also watches The Facepaint Connection, one of Strong Bad's wrestling personas from yes, wrestling.
• Killingyouguy's favorite TV program is Doug the Dino, which was created by his actor, Strong Mad, and featured in the facts.
• Talking to the kitchen door will cause Strong Bad to order a waffle using the same intonation as Main Page 5.
• The WaiterID is ILKO418, referring to The Cheat's fake ID, Ilko Skevüld, and his birthday, April 18, in cheatday.
• "Dangeresque" taking a blow from Experimento's satellite looks identical to a similar stunt involving the Heavy Lourde in Dangeresque 2: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1.
• Killingyouguy uses a banana as a phone.
• If Dangeresque puts the poison dart in the Armzipan statue, Killingyouguy will overhear, but realize he doesn't have ears.
• In the epilogue, Dangeresque Too remarks that Rif Simken was a "homestar runner" for the Clarks, a reference to the origin of the body of work's name, where The Brothers Chaps' friend James Huggins described Mark Lemke as the "homestar runner for the Braves".

Real World References

• The televised opera The Tragedy of Mrs. Dash is named after a spice mix.
• Dangeresque puts a shield in Armzipan's hand to protect her from being turned to stone, a reference to the Ancient Greek myth of Perseus and Medusa.
  • The Medusa myth was also mentioned in Homestar Ruiner Teen Girl Squad.
