Guitar Queer-O/Trivia

Trivia

 * Although Randy is shunned for trying to teach the boys how to play an actual guitar, the boys are seen playing instruments in various episodes in the series.

 * Some of the games in the arcade include Thirst For Blood, Smack Man, Fist Fighter, Farmer's Market, and Gang Wars.
 * One game of particular notability is the one standing to the right of the Guitar Hero arcade machine. It is "Custer's Revenge", a game that caused some controversy in 1982 for being about George Armstrong Custer (a general from the Civil War) out in the dessert naked with an erect penis, and because the gameplay involved running over to and raping a naked native American woman up against a cactus.
 * Even though the body of the arcade machine says "Custer's Revenge", it should be noted that on the actual screen, the game shown is Breakout.
 * It should also be noted that "Custer's Revenge" was exclusively an Atari 2600 game, the arcade version shown in this episode doesn't exist.
