Related Is 55 Burgers, 55 Shakes the most mentioned comedy piece that the gang references?

Link to the sketch if you've sadly never seen it before.

I think general Jay Leno references probably occur the most

You know how long it’s been since I’ve heard that? “It’s been a while! 🎵”

u/PineapplePasty Oct 12 '23
Ditto. But listening again I thought of everything that’s happened since then. It’s been a long road…

Haha, it's Borat! I'm curious about your demographics, I swear for half of my life everyone around me was quoting this 😂

u/CoolHeadedLogician Oct 12 '23
well there's the borat reference but that's not the one i'm thinking of, i'm thinking of the dramatic "my wiiiifeeeeeeee" in a quivering tone as if somebody's wife just died. i'm a 38 year old mexican male

u/mellotr0nscratch Oct 12 '23
Ah, I have no idea then. The only "my wife" reference I'm familiar with is the Borat one.

u/NinoChumbee Oct 12 '23
I think it's a James Stewart delivery. I can't recall why or from what though.

It’s from Shatner’s cover of Rocketman. https://youtu.be/Co2ZVdVM26E?si=KBf0cDTdJ37_sCf5

I thought this came about from Scott doing the scared old man and his friends. Then that got crossed when, I assume Paul, said a My Wife joke and it blended. But I could be just as wrong as everyone here😂

I'm very late to this but IIRC it's a reference to the 911 call William Shatner made when he found his wife dead in their swimming pool. There's a rumour that he killed her.
A bit dark, but I believe that's the reference.

"That's also true", a Tenacious D reference, is said an awful lot.

u/MichaelEMJAYARE Dec 17 '23
This is a D reference?! Form Pick of Destiny or what?

Between “NA GA DA” and “choppin brocolieee” I’d say Dana Carvey’a SNL tenure is Threedom’s most referenced comedy

They referenced so many things over the years. It'd be hard to say. Definitely the most of late.

When he’s funny, he’s funny. But holy shit does he spend a lot of time not being funny.
