Brain's latest plan takes a backseat to recent events in Denmark the death of the old king; Queen Gertrude marrying his brother, Claudius; and Hamlet returning home.

      • The entire episode takes place within the story of Hamlet, one of the more popular plays of 16th century playwright William Shakespeare. Throughout the episode, numerous lines from the play are said out-right or alluded to. Edit
      • Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the globe....theatre! The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London in the early 1600s where William Shakespeare's plays were first regularly performed. Edit
      • Brain: I will manufacture a line of flimsy, impossible to put together furniture. An indirect jab at Ikea, a Swedish company known best for selling furniture you put together yourself which has a reputation for low quality. Edit
