The obvious connection between Guy Fieri‘s name and all of the fire symbolism in his branding.
In the song “Jingle bells, Batman smells” the lyrics “Robin laid an egg” is a play on the fact that Robin is Batman’s sidekick but also a type of bird.
When Tony the Tiger says “They’re Grrrrrrrrreat!” he’s not just emphasizing the word, it a play on a tiger growling.

@npub1el8…4l26 @npub15ml…2w4s @npub19l5…qny5
Secret weird things that took me way too long to realize.
The song lyrics “Our house, in the middle of the street.” mean it’s equidistant from the corners. It’s not a humorous song where cars have to drive around it.
The show was called “Welcome Back Kotter” because he was now a teacher at the same school where he used to be a student and not just that summer break was over.
