Trivia / Dzwiedz 24

• Genius Bonus: Several obscure references based on historical and literary trivia:
  • The news ticker gag about "Złomowice Śląskie" in "Wake Up and Suck" - the old name for the Silesian town of Ząbkowice Śląskie was Frankenstein, and the "junk" pun fits near naturally.
  • The English title of Jacob Seed boss fight video, "The Glorious Revolution".
  • The location of the village of Nienacko (itself being a wordplay on the Polish word for "suddenly" - "znienacka") is a reference to Polish writer Zbigniew Nienacki - it's said to be located "in the Mazury region, on the way to Skiroławki", and Nienacki was known for his novel "Raz w Roku w Skiroławkach" (Once a Year in Skiroławki) and his love for Mazury.
  • In episode 22 of the Greedfall let's play, when Bishop Domitius asks why the Nauts don't contract malichor, Dźwiedź responds "I have no idea, maybe they eat fucking lemons?!", referring to how the British navy staved off scurvy in the 18th century.
  • The Boss Hard Hat is white - a color usually assigned to construction site managers, engineers and foremen.
• Throw It In!: the intro for Doktor Dźwiedźrespekt's "Songs to Chase Chickens To" video has the music cut off abruptly with the sound of glass breaking and debris fall from the top of the screen, with Dźwiedź looking up at something, looking startled. The description states "Well, I accidentally my ceiling light".
• Woolseyism: occasionally, the subtitles and titles replace particularly obscure references or puns:
  • A flubbed expression of disbelief in "Pugubugu Island" is translated to a well known one.
  "So uh huh, sure, do I have a brick, do I have a fucking bridge to sell you."
  • The word "cep" (flail) used as a derisive term for someone stupid, is translated as "flailure" in "Pugubugu Island".
    • This is referenced in "Wake Up and Suck: Eagran Uisce Beatha", where Dźwiedź comments that dying to Brigitte was a "flailure" on his part.
  • A pun based on the name of a Polish nationalist group is translated as "Mortars First" (reference to the nationalist group Britain First) in the Renegade Ops Backlog.
  • "The Hangover" replaces a reference to a Polish film with a similar theme, "Kac Wawa".

  • "Operation Gypsy Bicycle" adds the word "Operation", for Mad Lib Thriller Title/Operation: [Blank] effect, in addition to the original Title Drop referring to the Heavy Pike used in the mission.
