Easter Eggs

The following page provides a list of callbacks and Easter Eggs seen and provided throughout the *Guys* series.

## Waiting

### Background Dialogue

When the TV is off-screen, if one listens closely, you can hear some inaudible dialogue that Dozer recorded for background noise. These recordings weren't meant to be heard at a loud volume, but the following list describes the dialogue in detail:

* Lonesome Warriors (a): After the TV ident for the movie, it goes into some interviews for the movie, with the Lonesome Warrior's inaudible voice being heard in the background while the Guys get into a conflict about how it's "an advertising trick".
* The Single Show: Dozer reprises his role as Dave as he introduces himself... to nothing?
* The Boring Auction Show of Boredom: Even though you can hear the monotone guy when it shows up for the first time, the second time it shows up, if one listens closely like the rest, you can hear him groaning that he hates his job as he attempts sleeping.
* Lonesome Warriors (b): A fast paced warning can be heard in the background (like those old TV commercials) warning the viewer not to film the movie, otherwise they'll find you and make you pay a fine of $250,000.

### TV Surfing

During the short, the guys change the channel multiple times as they try avoiding a conflict. This part of the list showcases all of the callbacks & Easter Eggs that appear on the TV in *Waiting*.

* *Lonesome Warriors* is the main program that drives the plot forward. It is said that it's only airing **ONCE**, so Guy simply waits so that he doesn't miss it. In the background, interviews are shown with the main cast of characters, however they are blocked off by Other Guy as he talks to Guy. A blue couch, however, can be seen behind him on the TV screen. The blue couch is recycled from the red couch shot of Other Guy saying "*Two minutes is a while man, chill out.*" if you compare the two couches closely.
* When the Other Guy sits with Guy to tell him that it's airing next week, he changes the channel to archived footage from *The Single Show*, with altered music & rerecorded dialogue. Because this was archived footage and not new footage, he looks different in comparison to the appearance of the Guys in this short. The footage also looks slightly fuzzy, possibly being due to the fact that this was a videotaped master that was transferred to 35mm footage.
* Guy suddenly freaks out after this, changing the channel to a new program called *The Boring Auction Show of Boredom*, a spoof on those auction shows that usually bore people to death. In it, a vintage magnifying glass from 1865 is being sold for what appears to be an insane amount of $99,999,999,999. The reasoning for this is because usually, vintage items would be auctioned off for insane amounts of money, but never as insane as the price mentioned in this show.
* Guy then quickly changes the program to *Nature Hunt!*, where a optimistic hunter describes the bear on-screen. The bear is drawn in an odd fashion, as it is simplified to the bare minimum. Ultimately, this slightly mocks the oversimplified logo trend of 2021 and 2022.

When the Guy very quickly surfs through the channels to find "Lonesome Warriors" again, if one looks closely, you can see some notable callbacks to other Dozer Davis shorts & drawings. However, it should be noted that this is a reference to *Toy Story 2*, which also features a quick channel surfing scene. The following programs are seen in this order:

* An open-matte view of archived footage from *The Two Guys*, with the large building in the front confirming to be *Unruled Corporation*'s headquarters. Despite this being in 4:3 full-screen on the TV, no 4:3 version of *The Two Guys* exists, as it is actually a raw asset from said short.
* Concept art from *Lonesome Warriors*, a short that could potentially go into production in the near future. It was originally intended to be the short that was going to premiere at Unruled Crateville 10 on May 24th, however due to timing, *Waiting* replaced it. More concept art of the short exists, but this is the only one shown in the short itself.
* Concept art of a character named *Mr. Freeman*, a character who has yet to debut in a short film as of 5-26-23. A wordmark above Mr. Freeman is a title called *The Freemans*. Judging from the name, it's safe to assume that this is intended to be a parody or homage to 90's sitcoms. He, oddly, is unproportionate from the rest of the characters seen in the Guys universe, meaning that this is probably their version of an animated program.
* Archived footage from *The Two Guys*, with a green car on-screen. Like the Unruled building seen a few frames earlier, this is also a raw asset from the short, as the car stays still when it's on screen. If both the building & car were to be from archived footage, it would've looked fuzzy like with how *The Single Show* footage looked like.
* The Dozer Davis Productions logo from the start of the short, with the **presents...** text below the logo. Allegedly, Dozer Davis Productions, in this universe, is also a production company in their world, as proven by the next thing the TV shows...
* Dozer Davis' animated persona on a white backdrop. This proves that Dozer Davis exists in the Guys universe, however, he is also unproportionate like the Mr. Freeman show from earlier, meaning this is also an animated program. According to Dozer himself, the persona was appearing in an animated advertisement for the *Best of Dozer Davis Productions* VHS release, which fictionally came out in stores on May 23rd, 1995.
* The Dozer Davis Productions logo again. According to Dozer, originally something else was placed here. Originally, a end credit screen with the UnruledSound logo & a copyright date of *2009* was seen on the TV, however the decision to make the Guy shorts take place in the 90's resulted in the removal of the screen, replacing it with a repeat of DDP.
* A title card showing of Dozer Davis' basic information, with a prototype persona in a box to the right of the screen. This image was originally a part of a work reel that has since been scrapped due to personal decisions.
* TV returning to the *The Boring Auction Show of Boredom* from a few seconds earlier.

After the two get into a fight, the remote drops to the floor, changing it back to *Lonesome Warriors* for the remainder of the short.

## Piracy

The entire PSA plays out as a theater recorded bootleg video of *The Two Guys*, as recorded at the world premiere of the short on April 28th, 2023. The theater it was filmed at is the same theater where the *Unruled Phone Policy* was filmed for usage at Unruled Cinemas locations.
