I don't remember much about the first half of the episode, but Samari Quack was hilarious.

"Perfect"

By blackwolf_13, Aug 10, 2006

Samari Quack was freakin' hilarious. I loved the Samari Jack parody. I think my favorite part of the entire episode was when he was walking and he constanting keeps saying " walking walking walking walking walking .... " in the same bored tone. My sister and I found it so funny that for a few weeks we would say it whenever we were walking somewhere to either annoy someone or for a good laugh. The entire eppy made a wonderful parody, I really wish that the show was still was on the air.moreless

DD: I thought you didn't know how to surf! Brian Wilson: You want my advice or not? DD: Hey! Really! What do I have to lose? Brian Wilson: Then, get your karma in balance, focus your chi, and you'll hear a song in your inner gourd.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Ah-Choo: It is your destiny. Join me and we will rule the galaxy as father and son. This is what Darth Vader says to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back after revealing that he is Luke's father.
  EDIT SHARE
- DD: Then let's get to it, Kurosawa. This is a reference to the famous Japanese film director, Akira Kurosawa.
  EDIT SHARE
- Chapter: 19.64
  The chapter number is probably a reference to the year 1964, when Brian Wilson suffered a nervous breakdown and stopped touring with the Beach Boys, while continuing to write, produce, and record tracks for the band.
  EDIT SHARE
- DD: It's good to be the king!
  The phrase, "It's good to be the king!" was made famous by Mel Brooks as King Louis XVI in History of the World: Part I.
  EDIT SHARE
- Character: A-choo
  A-choo is an obvious reference to Aku in the cartoon, Samurai Jack.
  EDIT SHARE
- Visual: Obi-Wan/Brian Wilson
  Brian Wilson appearing as a semi-transparent, glowing, ghost-like creature, is a reference to how the deceased Obi-Wan appears to Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies.
  EDIT SHARE
- Title: Samurai Quack
  The title is a reference to the cartoon, Samurai Jack.
  EDIT SHARE
- Visual: Dodgers eating the canned pineapple
  After Dodgers ate the canned pineapple (which Brian Wilson gave to him) and develope muscles you can see a Tank and a battleship. This is an obvious reference to "Popeye, the sailor man" when Popeye ate his Spinach and develope muscles and you can see some things inside them.
