The Quiz!
1) At the end of season one Brock's mullet gets burned off. How many episodes does it take him to regrow it (as in, how many episodes is he without mullet in season two)?
- 1
2 - Brock was without mullet for the first two episodes of the season but had it grown back by Assassinanny 911.
3
4
- Jonny Quest
Prof. Impossible
President Breyer - The infamous Bush/Clinton hybrid from Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner? was voiced by Master Shake.
Edgar Allan Poe
- 2
3
4 - The Batman mask had major appearences in Victor. Echo. November., Love-Bheits, appeared in a flashback in Powerless in the Face of Death and at the very end of Viva Los Muertos (all of these save the Powerless one are pictured in the screencaps on this site).
5
- Mr. Monday
White Noise
Tigerriffic - This was the only villain of these four not killed by Phantom Limb in Showdown at Cremation Creek I.
Septapus
- Girl Hitler
Sergent Hatred
Tiny Eagle
Captain Sunshine - Girl Hitler is featured prominently in Love-Bheits, Sergent Hatred appeared in a few episodes (most notably the wedding in Cremation Creek I) and Tiny Eagle had a quick appearence in Powerless. Captain Sunshine, however, was mentioned in that same episode (as well as the finale last season) but has yet to appear.
- Magneto's - It is most assuredly that of Magneto.
Bud Manstrong's
Sergent Hatred's
Batman's
- 1
2
3 - This is what we call a clever/evil trick question. Bowie himself appears in the two Cremation Creek episodes, however Sovereign is also in Fallen Arches, and since Bowie is Sovereign the answer is three. This question had the least amount of correct answers and will probably be dropped from scoring considerations.
4
- Bruce Wayne
Peter Parker - Bruce Wayne is of course Batman, aka 'The Bat', Prof. Impossible is of course a parody of Reed Richards and Hunter Gathers is partially inspired by Nick Fury. There's some conjecture Dean is a parody of Peter Parker, but my intent with this question was a much simpler parody and of the alter-ego of each named person (save Nick Fury who doesn't really have one). This question may be dropped, however.
Reed Richards
Nick Furry
- Phantom Limb and Billy Quizboy - Although left up in the air, it became apparent that there's a possibility Billy and the Phantom Limb might have been friends as shown in the variety of flashbacks in V.E.N.. None of the others listed have any sort of past connection justr yet (if ever).
Brock and Dr. Girlfriend
Dr. Orpheus and The Monarch
Hank and Henchman 24
- Abraham Lincoln
Donald Rumsfeld - Lincoln and George Bush should be obvious, and Kissinger was the main inspiration for Henry Killinger in I Know Why The Caged Bird Kills (and later Cremation Creek II). Nobody really resembled Rumsfeld this season.
Henry Kissinger
George W. Bush
- NY Jets - While there's no concrete evidence stating it as a fact from the mouth of Ned, he is wearing green and white 'NY' garb in Twenty Years to Midnight.
NY Giants
Dallas Cowboys
Buffalo Bills
- Fourteen times each
Thirteen times each
Hank thirteen times, Dean twelve - In Powerless Hank is shown being killed twelve times, and Dean eleven (Hank's extra time is when a satellite of some kind falls on him while Dean is offscreen). Then again they are shown being killed in Viva Los Muertos bringing the totals to thirteen and twelve.
Hank twelve times, Dean thirteen
- The Pit and the Pendulum
Lady Windermere's Fan
Red Dragon
The Telltale Heart - The Telltale Heart was actually referenced in Escape to the House of Mummies, but not Fallen Arches. Lady Windermere's Fan was the play Dean put on for Triana, a portion of The Pit and the Pendulum was recited by the Monarch and the back tatoo in the same episode was a reference to Red Dragon.
- Blade
A family friend of Doc Hammer
Real guys in New York City - Okay, so there's some Shaft and Blade in there, but from the mouth (blog) of Jackson:
Seriously, he's based on a guy we've seen around town. Actually, several guys. Middle aged African American guys with leather (sometimes snakeskin, sometimes suede) car coats, silky poet's shirts, snakeskin boots, cargo or leather pants, and either a scorpion belt buckle, or, in one case, a crucifix necklace with a little knife in the bottom of the cross. Beaded or bone necklaces are another option. Occasionally, they top these outfits off with a floppy leather hat. And no joke, we've seen at least three or four of these guys, like it's a subculture or a fashion trend. I can't explain it, but the first time I ever saw one, I came back to the Astrobase and gleefully exclaimed to Doc "I just saw a Blackula hunter!" To my surprise, having never discussed it before, he said "I know exactly what you mean." I shit you not, they walk among us.
Shaft- Roy Brisby - This one should be obvious. Ned appeared in Twenty Years, Catclops in Love-Bheits and the Pirate Captain is of course now a semi-major character in spite of not having any sort of real name.
Ned
The Pirate Captain
Catclops
