This line, heard when Sam tries to put Jimmy Two-Teeth in Bosco's microwave, is a reference to the ability in Maniac Mansion and its sequel Day of the Tentacle for the player to put a hamster in the microwave (in the former case it was an unnecessary gag, in the latter part of a puzzle). In Maniac Mansion the characters of Syd or Razor could put Weird Ed's hamster inside the microwave and blow it up, which caused something of a controversy when the game was ported to the Nintendo. Reportedly, Nintendo was very upset when they found out about it, and as a result PAL versions of the NES release remove the ability. Sam will also say the line when trying to put Jimmy in the freezer, a reference to DOTT. See also: DOTT injokes.
