This is a reference to "Jerrica Benton," the alter-ego of Jem, from the 1980s Japanese import animated series, Jem. The character was a pop star whose persona is created by hologram technology projected over her body.

Cleary a reference to LeVar Burton's Geordi La Forge, the chief engineer of the Enterprise spaceship in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This is one of the clearest (as in properly spelled) references to actress Rue McClanahan's character Blanche on Golden Girls.

This was a reference to Mike Myers' Wayne Campbell from the "Wayne's World" SNL sketches and movie franchise.

This one gets a little intellectual in its reference to Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light bulb (among many other things).

This is a reference to Patrick Swayze's badass barroom "Cooler" from Road House. Best security money can buy!

This play on the film crew boom mic operator references the popular catchphrase / viral video / meme that started with Ball State University student Brian Collins in a 2005 YouTube vid.
prevnextGrip - Chin Chin
This is a reference to the main antagonist from the Filthy Frank YouTube channel, known as Chin Chin, which is also the Japanese word for penis. We'll leave it to you to imagine which one the "Grip" label applies to...
