Due to changes in cell networks, this no longer happens. (my second favorite joke) 08:17 "YOU SUCK" reference to the Trumpet Guy video 08:25 man at bus stop appears to have frozen to death 08:33 Glep goes to a bar that bears heavy resemblance to Paddy's Pub from tv show Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Even more likely, as Smiling Friends takes place in Philly. 08:44 "How bout NO" quote from Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: Goldmember 08:56 possible reference to a video of Kanye West talking about care he'd received from a doctor that was from "a certain group", refusing to name what group, only to reveal it was a Jewish doctor seconds later. This could be a reference to a lot of things, though.
