History Recap / SupernaturalS14E04MintCondition

* InternetJerk: Sam discovers that the reason Stuart recanted his story is due to the amount of internet harassment he was receiving.

--> '''Samantha:''' Okay. Again Superman is not real. And I've seen you get winded eating a taco.

*** Another suggested matching costume is [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy And Scooby-Doo]], who the Winchesters met [[Recap/SupernaturalS13E16ScoobyNatural last season.]]

* PlotBasedPhotographObfuscation: Inverted. Not only is Jordan easy to see, Stuart conveniently has a group picture of Jordan, his old boss who fired him on multiple occasions for stealing, Dirk, his former roommate and ex-best friend who he's currently mad at, and Samantha, his current boss who has to yell at him daily, conveniently all in front of the comic book store.

** The comic store has a mannequin wearing a Red Hood costume from the {{Franchise/Batman}} comics and animated films; Jensen Ackles voiced the character in WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood.

** Shocker TV may be a reference to Chiller TV, a now-defunct horror movie channel that ceased operations at the conclusion of Decemeber 2017.

* AnAesop: Samantha refers to Jordan as their personal Willy Wonka, indicating she completely missed the point. In both the book and the film, Willy Wonka didn't reward children with everything their hearts desired. He tested them and then punished them if they gave in to self-indulgence and committed acts of greed, avarice or deception. Charlie is only rewarded after he refuses to profit by selling his gobstopper.

** Stuart insults a customer by calling them a "mongloid trible in a robotic exoskeleton built by [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark's]] inbred third cousin" after the customer tells Jordan he can't beat up {{Franchise/Superman}}.

** Dean points out that Samantha shares many similarities with Sam, claiming the two are ''ComicBook/WonderTwins''

* ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree: Stuart chews out the pizza shop for not delivering his pizza on time.

-->'''Dean:''' Gotta love the internet. Where everyone can be a dick.

* AnAesop: Samantha refers to Jordan as their personal Willy Wonka, indicating she completely missed the point. In both the book and the film, Willy Wonka didn't reward children with everything their heart's desired.

Charlie is only rewarded after he refused to profit by selling his gobstopper.

** Stuart insults a customer by calling them a "mongloid trible in a robotic exoskeleton built by [[Characters/MCUIronMan Tony Stark's]] inbred third cousin" after the customer tells Jordan he can't beat up {{Franchise/Superman}}.

* {{Jerkass}}: Stuart comes off as petty, irresponsible and quick to anger, spending his time on the internet being little more than a {{Troll}}, getting into fights for ridiculous reasons and stealing from the store. [[LaserGuidedKarma The final one gets him in trouble when Jordan possesses the Panthro doll and uses it to beat his ass.]]

** [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar Thunder Cats]]: Pantro is mentioned specifically by name

** Stuart has a ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' poster in his basement. Dean stops and looks at it before he himself is attacked by a floating chainsaw.

* ManChild: Stuart is an emotionally immature adult obsessed with nerdy things to the point where he'll almost get into a fight over any FandomBerserkButton, and was apparently spoiled rotten by his indulgent mother.

** The store also has unnamed by obvious replica figurines of [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Kreuger]] and [[FridayThe13th Jason Vorhees]].

* AffectionateParody: The ''All Saints Day'' ShowWithinAShow franchise is one towards {{Slasher Film}}s, lampooning various trends of the genre such as an ImplacableMan villain shouting catch-phrases, copious amounts of {{Gorn}}, and TheEighties clothing and hair styles. Dean and Dirk are both huge fans of the series, and he's excited when a ghost actually possesses a full-body mock-up of the bad guy.

* LifeImitatesArt: This episode has the characters living the plot of All Saints Day 3
