????? Believe me, when I say I'm hella confused

I guess this woman is some sort of diehard holdout fan of his and maybe is trying to get the kid to associate him with high art even though his movies are definitely not appropriate for that age range?

That or maybe theirs some sort of connection

Its just what da fuk did I just hear

I thought it was a pretty interesting contrast:

US coming out with this giant flag and an instrumental evoking the Dream Team. It's a production and projection of intimidation and dominance.

On Paraguay's side, you have this vary traditional come out on the field and say "RaaRaa we are proud indipendent country of nobel people"

"Listen Here Ya Jealous Pricks, I earned the right to be Hated"

Hail Team Venture! So any super fans of LP'S Adult Swim alums The Venture Brothers might have picked up on some of these possible connections and references made by the series showrunners, Jackson public and Doc Hammer, and the history and lore of the Cos covered in this episode.

This is probably not just a coincidence since the creators are both massive Pop Culture nerds, in the goth alt scene and included various Pop Culture figures in the shows extended universe, often depicted as members of the supervillain TradeUnion known as the Guild of Calamities Intent.

For Starters Anton she is a similar likeness with two possibly 3 of major villains Force Majeure and Monstroso

The retired actress turned supervillain turned wildlife conservationist Bobbi St. Simone is an obvious reference to Tippi Hedrin.

You also have the magic-based super team The Order of the Triad ( So need to spin-off) which is pretty close to trapezoid. Possibly their might be a further Sammy Davis reference because Jefferson Twilight has one eye that glows red but that might be a bit of a stretch.

Also you have the appearance of Alistair Crowley and a flashback confirming he was a member of the early Guild and annoyed everybody to the point where they threw him off a blimp to see if the "witch could fly"

Go to see this is part of why I love that show so much you can just keep watching over and over and finding new layers of in jokes

Not sure if the show was ahead of its time or if it was too premature didn't really watch I remember catching promos for it while watching The Killing which was another forgotten TV hall of famer

So this is kind of a fun Hollyweird connection; during the aquarium years of the late-ish 60s, when new age counterculture and free love where at their peak Sammy D ( original son of Sam) went to cocaine orgy in the hills

An event he later described in a interview as“dungeons dragons and debauchery.” Supposedly everything was above board at this free use freakoff but at the event he met Anton and the two of them just hit it off. Davis had an interest in the occult and used to study for an upcoming TV pilot he was shooting with Adam West.

Anton later bestowed upon him the title of Warlock II, in the CoS and it's alleged Davis got a red glass eye and red acrylic Coke nail. As the 70s rolled on and Davis's drug use got worse supposedly he found his way back to Judaism however in a later meeting with Eddie Murphy in the 80s it's alleged by Eddie Murphy that he brought up his secret devil worship.

While it's likely a coincidence I think it's entirely possible that that interaction is what led to this joke in Coming to America

Real Talk he ain't lying Every year Zoolander becomes more and more of a documentary

Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince is probably one of the most infamous recastings since it consisted of Will calling out the recasting on screen "wow aunt viv you look different" then everyone moving on. The recasting of a lighter skinned actresses later got parodied on the (seriously underated) Lucas Bros cartoon on an episode titled: "Will Smith Day" where their mom is replaced by aliens o

Glosserick on Star Vs. This one seemed like kind of an intresting contract workaround; Originally the character was voiced by Jeffrey Tambor but after he was me too'd rather then kill off his character the show instead decided to give his character one line the entire season untill the very end where he was recast with Kieth David

Similar deal also with Solar Opposites when accusations about Justin Roilands behavior on and off set surfaced

The show continued to go on recasting Dan Steavans as the lead, by shooting the character Corvo with a voice changing gun at the start of the season and having every character agree the new voice was better. Which frankly it was as Stevans broght a much livelier performance doing an uptight British accent as opposed to the original which sounded too much like Rick and made the show seem like a derivative clone of the other

Listening to the latest ep got me thinking what if aliens are real but most of them don't know about us because it's a its a government secret on their planet too.

Also what if all their weird and freaky ass abductions are being done by their planets version of Jeffrey Epstein so part of the reason for not revealing themselves would be that we'd Sue. Protein goo for thoght.
