[Pizza Tower] [Spoilers] All the References in Peppino's Taunts

All the References in Peppino Taunts I have found, if I missed something let me know in the comments down below

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

Correction for the pose at 1:04 This pose is actually like 3000 years old. It's the shot-putter's stance used during ancient Greece's olympics, and became associated with perfect strength and musculature. While modern shot-putters have evolved their techniques, the pose is still commonly used to this day by olympians (like Usain Bolt) to basically say "look how perfectly chiseled my muscles are."

[@joshuavo1429]

it is but it’s referencing more to a warioland pose as warioland is the game that pizza tower is inspiring from

[@lambdautkc]

Johnny Bravo

[@midofox1131]

Thanks for this new knowledge

[@CozyToast07]

It honestly probably was intended to be Usain Bolt’s pose specfically seeing how they’re both the fastest people existing lol

[@lukeluke9732]

@@joshuavo1429 wrong taunt, that's the next one

[@justastranger101]

His laughing mouth is like that because the game's artstyle s inspired by the 90's handrawn cartoons (ren and stimpy, courage the cowardly dog, etc.) So those two emotes are the only ones without refrences.

[@sluttyMapleSyrup]

I think it's a combo of a reference to the absurdly off-model moments in Ren & Stimpy and the Spongebob laughing meme (the one where he's pointing with Enel's face from One Piece imposed onto Spongebob's).

[@saltedhorsemeat4843]

it always gave me more of a wild take Courage the Cowardly Dog would do when he's scared, but really the expression is just a pure old-ish cartoons tribute

[@isawyou5517]

​@@sluttyMapleSyrup yeah i thought about the SpongeBob meme too.

that makes sense because i remember seeing that a lot back thrn

[@pc_boi5307]

[@Lonely_depressed_emo]

Fun fact: the promotion taunt was the only taunt not used in the sage demo This was because mcpig couldnt find a way to make the text face the right way if you taunted the other direction but yet again it could of just been 2 seperate sprites Also the text might be hard to see because of the background flash effect

[@cat.tasticblue1455]

note: the sonic the hedgehog taunt reference can still be seen in the SAGE 2019 demo of pizza tower! I have the demo, and its really neat to see it there, it's appearance might be due to it being, well, the SAGE 2019 demo.

[@EchoPixel01]

I saw it and immediately knew the reference... Man, I wanna go hang out with my friends again, one of them has a WORKING SEGA Dreamcast, with a copy of SA2, and I have a working SEGA Genesis, with copies of Sonic 1&2, as well as Mean Bean Machine... Which is pretty cool, at least to me.

The usain bolt pose kinda makes sense since peppino runs fast and maybe the same speed on mach 3 of usain bolt

Usain Bolt didn't invent that pose. It's the shot-putter's stance from ancient Greece's Olympics. It became associated with olympian strength, and has been used throughout history by olympians (like Usain Bolt) and bodybuilders (like Arnold Schwarzenegger) as a way to say "look how perfect my musculature is."
