# Talk:Crippled Summer

Jimmy's ukulele solo and the tune which makes it explode seems very similar to the piano with Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam in Ballot Box Bunny and the xylophone with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck in Show Biz Bugs. -JRSiebz (talk) 02:43, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

That gag was taken from an eariler cartoon called Private Snafu, in the epsisode "Booby Traps".
Yes It actually is taken from a Bug Bunny gag. A lot of the handicapped kids also have speech patterns like that of Bugs Bunny Characters.

What was the website address at the end that mentioned Alec Stephen Baldwin in it?

I believe it said restorestephenbaldwin.com -JRSiebz (talk) 05:28, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
It says: "If you know a towel that is suffering from addiction, please go to www.restorestephenbaldwin.org". I was wondering whether this has more relevance than just the fact that Baldwin once had a drug habit and rehabilitated? 94.170.90.42 (talk) 02:03, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Seeing as the article mentions the link three times, I think two of these could be removed.  Thoughts?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, why do none of these link to http://www.restorestephenbaldwin.org/ but only to the page of Stephen Baldwin?--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Anyone else notice that many, if not most of Jimmy's team mates were based on old Warner Brothers characters? I definitely saw Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig, plus a couple others that seems oddly familiar

I could identify those two and also Droopy. Maybe we should make a list?
There was also the VUlture character "Killer" I think his name was. There was one that sounded very familiar, But I can't really put my finger on it. One of the bad guys was Mugsy.
What characters are parodied? I think i recognize Elmer Fudd, Droopy D, the bald eagle from the bugs bunny cartoon, Mugsy's sidekick... any more?
Pete Puma, Beaky Buzzard (he's the bird you were talking about), also one of the non-speaking characters greatly resembled Foghorn Leghorn. Dahumorist (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
I have once again removed the cultural references section due to a lack of sourcing. The statements made are very specific and need a third party source to back up the comparison. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 01:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
And let me guess...if someone went ahead and showed a very clear screenshot comparison, you'd remove that for not using free images, and for being original research?
I love how Wikipedia is the only place in the world were simple, obvious facts are irrelevant until entirely independent, arbitrarily declared notable sources unpromptedly produce material that is coincidentally useful.
213.39.158.163 (talk) 03:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I would remove it because its original research and, therefore, against policy (see WP:OR). If you don't like the policies set forth by Wikipedia, you are more than free to move along to another online encyclopedia or to create your own.
Look, if I noticed it and you noticed it, then there are surely some reputable sources that noticed the homage too. Just find one of them, it's that simple. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 04:09, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
I do not agree with Ghostexorcist, it should be noted that certain characters look like Warner Brothers characters, as it is obvious, with or without facts/sources, just watch the episode, theres all the proof/source you need. Policies should not always be followed to the line. 80.229.169.189 (talk) 10:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Anon, that's not what Ghostexorcist said or meant. They suggested that there should surely be a reputable source to prove what's being said if it really is as obvious as you say. And in all the time it took various anons to spam and vandalise the talk page with their opinions, someone else went ahead and added cites for the cultural references... Alastairward (talk) 14:23, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Apart from Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Droopy, Beaky Buzzard and Pete Puma the blue team also had parodies of Foghorn Leghorn (ambulance scene, non speaking), Taz, the Tasmanian devil (drummer, kept in a leash, non speaking) and Sylvester the cat (in the canoe, percussionist, one line after winning the canoe race). --Alex:D (talk) 11:43, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
If you are going to talk about e Looney a tunes characters referenced, please get it right. Someone mixed up the shorts (and they are shorts, not episodes) about the piano scene. I fixed it, Yosemite Sam rigs the piano in Ballot Box Bunny. Katana Geldar (talk) 11:51, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Why is there a photo of Trey Parker; that photo may as well be on any South Park episode for the use it gives here--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I notice this in the reviews section, and in the articles for 200/201: the jokes about rape and the disabled were used (by columnists iF and MTV) as a point about censorship. However, I don't know if this is lede-worthy... Sceptre (talk) 19:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
