Stuff I Noticed:
*There are many Cutltural References in this episode
1. Mt. Milakanjaro is a parody of the actual Mt. Kilamanjaro. 2. An old Dutch folktale is about a leaking dyke and a boy sees it and tells everyone, but they do not care. So he puts his finger in it, and then the water pressure is so great that the dyke explodes. If you've seen the episode, you know where that comes into play. 3. The Boy Who Cried Wolf, an old Aesop fable. The title is a parody of this story, and we also see Jenny reading it later in the episode. 4. The little hillbilly kid (his name is Billy) asks for The Dunderheads Guide to Idiocy. This title is a parody of The Idiot's guide to Whatever. 5. Tuck's black friends are George and Carver, a reference to George Washington Carver. 6. Tuck's friend is Lon, and there is a Chinese fable about a wolf named Lon Popo.
*When Jenny comes the second time, Tuck is in a booth selling tickets. The booth says 'See the Freaky Robot'.
*Jenny, um, 'blows' Brad back and forth a couple times, but she doesn't breathe so, how does she blow? I need better word choice.
*Brad is eating ice cream, but as he stands up to go to the book mobile, his ice cream disappears.
*Amy, the first kid at the book mobile, looks a lot like a shorter Jantrice.
*Tuck asks Jenny to do the following: Perform for his friends, remove a splinter, cut a tree branch, be a pencil sharpener, find a radio station, block the sun with a tree, sweep, make sno cones, mow the lawn, paint, open sodas, melt marshmallows, cut the crusts off sandwiches and do carpentry work. |
