Tribbles, of course, are from Star Trek, and this references the fan-favorite episode with my favorite non-cast character of Harcourt Fenton Mudd (HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING AGAIN???) and the cute, Klingon-hating Tribbles.

The “Say it with me” line is a reference to Mystery Men, when Mr. Furious, the Shoveler, and the Blue Rajah first meet the weapons designer, Heller. (“My name is Heller. Say it with me…Heller.”)
