    I know your username is a reference to something, but I can’t remember what. I tried googling it and all that comes up is posts by you. Am I going crazy or is it actually a reference?

      In the podcast and television show Comedy Bang! Bang! there is a running joke that host Scott Aukerman is always misnamed. The names are things like Yacht Rockerman, Hot Saucerman, Shock Jockerman, Stop Clockerman, Shop Talkerman, Flip Flopperman, and so on. They generally rhyme with “Scott Aukerman.”

      Snot Flickerman is definitely inspired by the Aukerman nicknames, although it doesn’t perfectly fit since Flickerman doesn’t rhyme with Aukerman. Also, in my own headcanon, Snot Flickerman is an audacious television news anchor voiced by Tom Kenny.

      I hope this illuminates my stupid fucking username.

        Hey I’ll use this comment; I totally wondered if it was a reference to CBB but there wasn’t really a chance to ask without derailing

        It’s close enough to the gag that I caught it. You did well

        Oh of course! Thank you so much. I remember now seeing this around the time it came out, but haven’t checked in on CBB in forever
