References
- As with everything else in the Dungeons of Doom, this is a reference to the computer game NetHack.
- "They'll sting you like a hobbit" is a reference to J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 fantasy novel The Hobbit, which contains a scene in which title character, Bilbo Baggins, sees enormous bees and thinks, "If one was to sting me, I would swell up as big as I am again!" Also, Bilbo carried about a dagger (which, to his size was about the proportions of a short sword) of Elven make named Sting.
- "The police" is a reference to the British band The Police, whose lead singer was named Sting.
- The guy in a bee outfit refers to Bumble Bee Man, a recurring character on the television series The Simpsons. On one episode, he calls a skunk "un gato malodoro," or a stinky cat.
- The aerodynamics lesson is a reference to a flawed aerodynamic calculation from the 1930s purporting to prove that it was impossible for bumblebees to fly. No one told the bumblebees, who went on flying as usual.
- The "COVERED IN BEES!" line is a reference to a sketch by comedian Eddie Izzard from his Glorious performance.
- The "bunch of gangsta rappers" is a reference to the Wu-Tang Clan who would would sometimes refer to themselves as "The Wu-Tang Killa Bees" in some of their earlier songs.
- The description about the police won't be able to help you may be a reference to Tommy Boy where Chris Farley runs out of his car screaming about killer bees, and the cops didn't do anything.
