Most of the humor comes from [[Lampshade Hanging]] conventions of the [[Super Mario Bros|Mario]] world, [[Running Gag|running gags]], [[Cluster F-Bomb|swearing]], and Hal's [[Butt Monkey]] status. The series, as well as a few other works, can be found [http://araskin500.newgrounds.com/flash/ here].
