> [@LSLGuy](#): > > When / how are you going to let Joshua in on your little joke? We’ve played poker a couple of times with him since, and no one’s brought it up. Unlike the rest of the group, he would NOT have a sense of humor about being the butt of a joke. And, yes, I was excited when I tried Islay Storm. Mostly because I didn’t want to spend more than that on a prank, but also because it was almost like sipping Talisker (but only try it if you like your Scotch poured through smoldering peat). I recently refilled my bottle of _Finnerty’s_™ with it. ---

I ordered a glass of Talisker once because of its use in the BBC radio show _Cabin Pressure_. Odd that the Beeb would mention a real brand so prominently, but I guess it had the right connotations of fancy and expensive for what they wanted in the show. I don’t generally care much for scotch, but it wasn’t bad. ---

That’s why I chose the Scotch that in reviews was likened to Talisker! Even now, when I sip it, I think of that old guy yelling _“Where’s my Talisker?”_ ---

Bojack Horseman had a ton of cleaver animal puns for business names. - Probably most prominent, the fancy restaurant the characters frequent (and Bojack owns for a while): Elifino. - The news network MSNBSea, where all the reporters are sea creatures. - The characters are often seen flying on Sow West Airlines and AmeriCrane Airlines. And JetMoo appeared in at least one episode. There are a bunch more that appear in the background in various scenes, like Beast Buy, a store called Pony Up, and if you Google it you can find a bunch more. ---

In the Baby Herman/Roger Rabbit cartoon _Somethin’s Cookin’_ that opens _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_ the brand of the oven is _Hotternell_, which is pretty obviously a pun on “Hotter than Hell”, but is less obviously a shout-out to the 1945 Tex Avery MGMcartoon _The Shooting of Dan McGoo_, which takes place (as a sign tells us at the beginning) in Coldernell, Alaska ---
