Yep, assuming that was intentional.

I'm kinda wondering if the JibJab folks were big fans already or if Al suggested the little in-jokes like that or the 27 reference.

I missed it. Where was it?

Thanks for saying something, sg, because I was too shy to say I didn't catch the reference, either.

Oh heck, Patti, you know me. I have no shame

None at all!

I assume you are all talking about the shower scene, with the telescope?...

Yep, that's the one. I thought of "Melanie" as soon as I saw the Al/Taylor character looking through a telescope.

There's actually a few similarities between "DICYO" and "Melanie," though probably because they have the same theme: stalking.

At Rehearsals.com, there's video clips of Taylor Hicks being interviewed and practicing songs. About 5 minutes in, he mentions Al's parody and slips in "Do I Creep You Out" during the titular lines. heh

This is actually quite funny - Kierstin Cunnington, who played Debbie, was in a 2003 film called "Sexless." Her character's name? Melanie.
