We combed the hyperkinetic clip and turned up references from 'Easy Rider,' postmodern comic books, vintage Nintendo and more.

In "Na Na Na," the curly-haired kid who runs with the Killjoys can be seen clutching one of the toys (or something very similar) as he's being taken prisoner by the evil vampires.

NUH-UH.

otherwise, this is all totally interesting.

Fun Ghoul: Iero's Killjoy alter ego. In Italian slang, vaffanculo means something along the lines of "go do it in the a--," or, in the parlance of our times, "f--- off." Often, it is mangled into "Va Fangool" or just "Fangool," though it means the same thing.

This is the most hilarious thing to me, idek.

Same! I hadn't thought of it, but now the name got more awesome!

[roxy_palace]

If this is true I will never stop laughing.

Fuck... I have a neighbor, who's italian and keep saying "vaffanculo" all the time. And I speak a bit of italian and I didn't get it. XD
