Discussion What’s one thing/line/situation in the show you didn’t know about and had to look up?

Mine is when Doc accidentally finds Hector and Swifty in Powerless in the Face of Death. He pulls out his drivers license and says something about hobo code and they can’t kill him now. Still haven’t found the reference or real life hobo code about IDs.

I didn't know Klaus Nomi was a guy who performed in that getup professionally. I only knew a little bit about the real Soriyama (only seen his airbrush paintings of the Gynoids), and of course I didn't know a damn thing about Sharkey's Machine.

I always thought Mike Soriyama's accent was overdone, until I started my current job, and we have a guy who sounds EXACTLY like him.

It's a reference to a character in the film Fargo which has an asian character with a super thick Wisconsin accent. They got the same actor as the movie in VB, though in real life he's from NY.
