My all-time favorite piece of Fargo trivia:

Comedian Steve Park, who plays Mike Yanagita (and has my favorite line - “you’re such a SUPER LADY!”) was hired to voice a similar character in an episode of The Venture Brothers, Mike Soriyama. As in Fargo, Park’s Soriyama character is also obsessed with women from his past, going so far as to construct robot replicas of his college obsession as servant/slaves. Please enjoy.

36

Sorry, but when checking that the clip works, I caught that Mike’s college obsession is named Leslie** Coen**. Wheels within wheels, man.

37

The girl he’s pestering is called

Linda Cooksey.

Here is the clip:

38

Right, I meant his Venture Brothers obsession is Leslie Coen, same initials as Linda Cooksey, too. Thanks for starting this thread. Fargo is one of my favorite movies.
