SPOILERS!!! REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS IN F&C ep. 1: FIONNA CAMPBELL

Here's a bunch of stuff I spotted. Feel free to add more.

During the anime girl hero dream Fionna mentions Hans Brinker, a character from a novel which introduced speed skating to the United States.

The BMO style alarm clock has BMO's voice.

The ducks that steal Marshall Lee's money look like one-headed versions of the two-headed duck from the original Adventure Time title sequence.

Cheers is a real sitcom. Simon previously sang its theme song in the episode Simon & Marcy, and now it seems to have manifested in the human AU due to his connection with it.

Fionna says "stop acting crazy" to Cake with the same meter as Marceline said "stop acting crazy" to Ice King in the episode I Remember You.

We all spotted this in the trailer but there's a Magic Man hat in this shot. Magic Man's hat was most recently seen being worn by Betty.

The Betty statue also suggests that Simon's psyche has significant influence over this world. The fountain includes frogs, a symbol of change that was previously also used in Temple of Mars. And Fionna mentions the statue underwent renovation twelve years ago, which is the same amount of time that's passed in the prime universe since Betty's amalgamation with GOLB.

It would seem Mrs. Abadeer runs a vacuum cleaner company as well as being Fionna's landlady. And Queenie runs an accounting business as well as the tour bus.

The stickers on Marshall Lee's guitar case are all references to real life punk rock bands. X-Ray Pex = X-Ray Spex, Daikini Kill = Bikini Kill, PM might be a reference to AM as in the Arctic Monkeys. I'm not sure what Las Crudas and Dark Eyes are references to. Perhaps someone more familiar with punk rock can let me know?

In case you were wondering, the credits confirm that this is human genderswapped Fern. It's a bit more obvious now that we can see all her green clothes and backpack, and given what she said about her dreams being super messed up. I'm not gonna go through the rest of the cameo characters in this episode because most of them are pretty obvious or already got figured out when the trailer dropped. That said, if anyone knows who the bus driver is meant to be please let me know.

The sword in the window of this games shop looks very similar to Fionna's sword from the original comic series.

The latte that Gumball - ahem I mean Gary - makes in this scene features PB's swan.

Okay one more cameo mention because I feel like it might become significant later. This is Ice Queen.

Fionna and Cake are dreaming about their apartment block in the credits of this episode, but it has a roof like the Tree Fort and the same little boat with a telescope and parasol.

Episode 2 to follow!

Where are the Hans Brinker fans hiding?

I know I'm not one of them because of the confusion I suffered seeing this line in the first episode of Fionna and Cake:

Which had me sort of understand the question/answer slightly better when I was going through some more Trivial Pursuit questions earlier since this was on one of the cards...

But all I know is at least with the family and similar ties we personally don't know Mister Brinker.Is there like some lifestyle or location more familiar to his story than others?

[unfug-bilder]

Nazis treffen sich mit anderen Nazis. Wer hat bitte irgendetwas Anderes erwartet?

Aber die eigentlichen Fragen sind doch:

Warum ist es der sonst stets so verschwiegenen Frau Brinker PLÖTZLICH so wichtig, eiligst im verhaßten ÖRR-Rundfunk klarzustellen, dass sie

dort war

früh (!) gegangen ist

sich über das Publikum gewundert habe !!!!!!

WAS und WEN BITTE hat sie denn dort erwartet?

Schneewittchen? Kurt Waldheim? Idi Amin? Hans-Georg Maaßen? Matthias Döpfner? Eva Herman?

Und warum zum Teufel wird das im RBB kommentarlos verbreitet statt erstmal nachzuforschen, was da genau passiert ist und die plötzliche Auskunftsbereitschaft der Dame veranlaßt hat?

Und wer von der AfD Berlin und Brandenburg so alles da war. (Ich habe da schon Ahnungen). Denn da nennt sie keine Namen.
