* '''The [[Maibatsu]] [[Thunder]] sports car''' (Ed McMann & Shelley Miller) - Its ingame equivalent is considered to be the Blista Compact. In [[GTA III]] the Maibatsu company has another car, this time an SUV called the Maibatsu Monstrosity, roughly the equivalent of the Landstalker. Liberty City Stories also contains a vehicle called Maibatsu Womb. In [[GTA Vice City Stories]] there's a campaign fighting for buying [[USA|American]] goods instead of foreign ones (a Maibatsu worker is also included in the VCS commercial), laughing at American Motors employees. This commercial is a parody of 1980s Pontiac ads. | * '''The [[Maibatsu]] [[Thunder]] sports car''' (Ed McMann & Shelley Miller) - Its ingame equivalent is considered to be the Blista Compact.

A lethal dessert that killed 23 people, and the topic of one of the questions asked to [[Alex Shrub]], the congressman who allowed the sale of it.

* '''"[[Just the Five of Us]]"''' (Kevin Straley, John Mauceri, Josh Clark, Jene Hillgreen, Shelley Miller) - A parody of such 80's miss-matched family sitcoms like Diffrent Strokes. Classically trained actor Claude Maginot is slumming as the father of the family, and is one of the guests on [[K-CHAT]], host Amy Sheckenhausen a fan of the series. Jimmy, the child-star of the show who claims to be 42, is a strong reference to the star of Diff'rent Strokes, Gary Coleman, who remained child-like due to a side effect of his congenital autoimmune kidney disease treatnment. Coleman's catchphrase "What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" is also parodied with Jimmy's catchprase "But I'm forty-two!" A drunken Jimmy is interviewed by [[WCTR]] in [[GTA San Andreas]], the show "My Five Uncles" having replacing "Just the Five of Us". The show airs Friday Nights on VBS. | * '''"[[Just the Five of Us]]"''' (Kevin Straley, John Mauceri, Josh Clark, Jene Hillgreen, Shelley Miller) - A parody of such 80's miss-matched family sitcoms like Diffrent Strokes.
