Also I think Knack-shirt is Power Pop Pop Pop's goon, whom I forget the name of.

I think the Steeler is Jack from Pittsburgh, right?  Troy Renfro was cut and young; Jack from Pittsburgh was a slob who wore a Steelers uniform and helmet to work.

By the way, the Jack From Pittsburgh/Shark Tank call is one of the hidden gems of the Newbridgiverse.

Seconded. It's genius. "Top three? top five?"

Well, yeah, but Troy was also (like fellow onetime Pittsburgh-area athlete Bert Blyleven) into the whole farting thing.

I'm guessing they are Craig Cooper, owner of Radio Hut and Hammerhead, leader of the Newbridge Hardcore Scene, respectively.

I'd like to know that one too.


Neil numberman should have annotated this wonderful poster. I love the addition of Marky Ramone, by the way.

No, no.  I think an index of names would take away the fun of figuring them out. 

My three-year-old son loves, loves this poster.  Everyone with pointy teeth gets a "oooh, a mean guy."  TBSOWFMU is really a family show, no doubt.  Thanks again.

The guy in the pink shirt in Werner, the German drug dealer who looks like Rutger Hauer with a black mustache and long blond hair.

Heh, and the log is what Bryce thought was Broham, the singing fox.
