Notes[]

"To Lemming or not to Lemming; that is the question." is a reference to the quote "To be, or not to be; that is the question." from the play "Hamlet".
"Do not feed Mischievous Lemmings after midnight." is likely a reference to the film "Gremlins".
The Lemmings Touch quote about the Lemming "Bob" may be a reference to a prior skit on Robot Chicken parodying Lemmings; in it, one Lemming addresses another Lemming named Bob, who speaks in response. In a later scene, a Lemming with the same voice as Bob (likely being the same character) exclaims "I retire tomorrow!" while falling from an unfinished bridge.
