The Spoony Experiment/Trivia

"Doctor Insano: Dr. Strange? What is he a doctor of, anyway?
 * Shout-Out:
 * The ET review opening is one big Shout Out to Apocalypse Now, specifically due to the fact that Spoony was doped up after a trip to the dentist.
 * To Doctor Strange during his review of Final Fantasy VIII when he portrays Dr. Insano selling his Anti-Magic Field Generator kit. Doctor Strange is listed as one of the pesky heroes it is designed to protect against. Also the big flashing ANNATAZ SKCUS subtitle.

Subtitle: DR STRANGE IS A PROCTOLOGIST!"


 * In his Final Fantasy VIII Part 5 review, "Dream Weaver" plays whenever Squall lays eyes on Rinoa.

 * In the same LP, "Phantasmagoria2: Will It Blend?"
 * "No...No! I SLEPT TOO LOOONG!!" (This gag recurs in Ultima IX)

 * In his review of Microcosm, he can be seen wearing a Cosa Nostra Pizza shirt.

 * In his Phantasmagoria finale, he called himself, who responded with the Megadeth line, "Hello me its me again."
 * Part 1 of the Final Fantasy X review has Spoony greet in Tommy Wiseau's voice, which also serves as a Shout-Out to Linkara who did the same thing with.
 * The ending of his SWAT 4 Let's Play features a Metal Gear Solid-style cryptic phone conversation.
 * For someone who doesn't like anime, it's oddly coincidental that in his Yor, the Hunter from the Future review, he refers to Yor as a Humanoid Typhoon
 * He also quotes Selphie as: Love! And! Peace!
 * His fantasies of Soleil Moon Frye during the Pumpkinhead review are reminiscent of anytime Ric Flair hits on a woman, down to mentioning Space Mountain and Flair's trademark "WOO!"

 * The Stinger to the Highlander video game review has Spoony ask "What's wrong with your face?"

 * A possible unintentional one during The Beast Master 2 review: "I'm making a note here: huge success."
 * In his Samurai Zombie Nation Review, Spoony comes across Naked Zombie Sean Connery. This causes him to reference Thriller and YTMND.
 * FMV Hell is likely an allusion to AMV Hell.
 * The part in Clones Of Bruce Lee where he, Spencer D. Bum and Dr. Insano react to the woman being karate-chopped in the throat was an homage to Stardust.
 * In the SWAT 4 level set in a convenience store, the post-mission wrap-up mentions one victim, Dante Hicks, having been shot before the police arrive. This is actually a reference to the original, deleted ending, in which Dante does indeed get killed by a robber.
