“Hall & Oates Meet Frankenstein” reminds me that the auto parts and repair chain is officially “The Pep Boys — Manny, Moe & Jack”; the three men’s names have been part of the registered name of the company since 1923, even after Jack left the firm in 1927 and his caricature in the logo was replaced with that of Moe’s brother “Izzy” that same year.
In other news of companies that aren’t called what you think they’re called, International House of Pancakes has officially just been IHOP since 1973, and you’d be hard pressed to find any official literature this century that mentions the original name.

Huh, I never knew that about H&O.
Very likely I’ll have forgotten about it again in five minutes, much like Hall and Oates themselves, but at this time I know.

Re. “Hall & Oates Meet Frankenstein” you can blame Abbot and Costello for that error which became a cliche. It true!

NFTs suck, and so do crypto bros (and, of course, capitalism too).

“Guy Walks Into a Bar” is hilarious if you know the original joke. I’m not sure how many people do these days.

Hall & Oates AND Jeremy Renner, but I’m surprised it wasn’t a trifecta with an appearance by James Caan.

Not ‘Frankenstein’ but Dr. Victor Frankenstein’s creation.

There are easier ways to draw Doug… or did someone already point that out?

I had a nun in Catholic grade school that used the death-grip-cheek-pinch very effectively.
