** Also, '''"MOTHERFUCKER MIKE."'''
* Search Youtube for "Duel of the Fates" (a song full of [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Sanskrit Chanting]] from ''Franchise/StarWars [[ThePhantomMenace Episode I]]''). Whatever isn't music videos is most likely a variation of this.

Eventually, sick of the game, he rips the game out of the NES, yells "Yippie-Ki-Yay, motherfucker!!" and throws it behind him and jumps ''Die Hard'' style from the massive explosion it causes.
