* ShoutOut:
** The name of the thread itself is a reference to ''Roleplay/RubyQuest''.
** When one player asks Joel to see what time it is, the narrator initially says "[[WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared It's quarter to nine, time to have a bath!]]" before stating that he was just kidding.
** When Joel and Nina first enter the Town Hall in Aircraft Land, the narrator initially says that there they see [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas a skeleton trying to teach monsters about Christmas]] before, again, saying he was joking.
