* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: In one strip, Greg suggests that the graphic designer of the much-reviled Comic Sans font was actually a genius, because it's basically a huge flashing sign that screams "I'm incompetent and need the help of a graphic designer."

* [[Statler and Waldorf]] / [[Those Two Guys]]: Dave and Tony.
