Trivia
- The video's title and overall structure is a reference to Reefer Madness.
- The bit about string cheese in the washer is an oblique reference to Underpantaloons.
- 'Black Leaf' is a reference to Dark Dungeons, an infamous witnessing track by Jack Chick.
- 'LARPing' is the acronym for Live Action Role-Playing.
- Cthulhu rarely rises in D&D campaigns - more commonly in 'Call of Cthulhu' or 'Delta Green'.
- Cthulhu did appear in the TSR AD&D book "Deities & Demigods", along with the gods for many copyrighted works(Including the Elric books). The second printing of the book removed all copyrighted beings.
- Nevertheless, Cthulhu is a running gag in LRR depictions of D&D, such as Inside D&D 4th Edition.
- The humorous abbreviation of the activist group may be a reference to Vote Carefully and the weird political party with the unpronounceable acronym.
