    Panel 1: Reference to the TV show Letterkenny (“Let’s get on with it”)
    Panel 2: Reference to old TV ads for Tombstone Pizza (“What do you want on your Tombstone” i.e. “Any last requests?”)
    Panel 3: Reference to Futurama episode: “Brannigan, Begin Again” (“Yes. Tell my wife how I feel about her.”)
    Panel 4: Reference to the movie, The Princess Bride (“Yes of course, I’ll do that.”)
    Panel 5: Reference to the movie, Blade Runner (“Time to die…”)
    Panel 6: Meta reference, sticking with the referential nature of the dialog instead of actually rolling credits.

          You’re like some kind of sentient pop culture wiki.

              My response from another:

              [Freja] from God of War, yes. In place of Liz Lemon in 30 Rock.

              Edit: There’s a wonderful treasure trove of meme based gifs from the game studio itself.

        Gotta put a closing caret on your superscript words in Lemmy. And end a line with two spaces if you want the text to appear on the next line.
