The currency of Reminia was named after the Platinum Chip.
Shows
I don't really watch tv, or much shows in general. But sometimes I find dumb things that get ideas from. The Bachelor
Algernon dragging Mordecai into taking part in the Bachelor is literally just based off of the show, except 100x more stupid (or less depending on what you actually think of the show), and also with murder involved.
I thought it would be funny to have a version of the show ran by aliens who had barely any idea of how it goes.
