1695: Mildly Obscure Reference Time!
| Mildly Obscure Reference Time! |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Jon requests Garfield grab the string, to which he replies "Only if it opens a trapdoor". Here, their dialogue is turned into a reference to the Ed Wood film Glen or Glenda. The plot of the film (which concerns two separate crossdressers and the trials they face) are interspersed with comments by "the Scientist", an odd sort of narrator (played by Bela Lugosi) who sits in a chair and gives monologues only tangentially related to the events preceding it. In one of the movie's most notorious moments, he declares "Pull the string!" while stock footage of buffalo is superimposed over the shot.
