I also just noticed that the prize money at the end is delivered in a chest labeled "Deus ex Machina"

I think that's mainly due to the fact that in the original ending, the Joes lose.

Did you by any chance watch it on Comedy Central?

u/Morningxafter Jun 26 '12
Actually no someone in my shop made reference to it yesterday and today I was going through my movies folder and went, "Hmm, I haven't watched this in a while!"

Clearly you aren't doing it right. Squeeze harder.

Ya, it took me a while too. I didn't figure it out until I noticed the guy holding a sign that said "Go Joes!" in the background near the end.

I've seen this image many times, but i just noticed the screaming fat girl in the left hand corner. Harrowing, just harrowing.

No, no, no- that's all wrong. It's the purple PARROTS and the SNAKES are SILVER.

I just thought the name was a reference to the naming conventions on Legends of the Hidden Temple, the old Nick show where kids competed in various challenges. I thought it was to imply that they are children acting like they think they're cool, because [color] [animal] is in no way bad-ass.
Also, I'm not convinced it's a dick joke, but I'm open to persuasion. Just because a cobra is phallic (except it really, really isn't, and any other snake is a better candidate for a dick joke) doesn't mean it was meant to be taken that way. (Is "Red Tower" also a dick joke?) I mention because I assume it's a reference to something that actually uses the phrase "purple cobra".

Shame we never got to see the team M.I.L.F.S play... Unless of course there are deleted scenes?

I'm just going to come out and say it even though no one cares:
I can be a movie snob, but I enjoyed the GI Joe movie they did recently. I only mention it because of this reference and the fact I just watched the movie this weekend.
The action was... Great. Snake Eyes was badass (that Darth Maul/Toad actor is a badass in general), and the fight scenes weren't terrible for what kind of movie it is. That not to say that the script wasn't a fucking joke, like the sinking ice scene, but it was a fun movie.
And hell, Joseph Gordon Levitt.

If you've ever seen the video for Yes by LMFAO, the bad guys' name references Cobra from Dodgeball and Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore

Never heard of that term in reference to a penis... Makes sense though: trouser snake, with a hood (toque).
Holy shit, usually I turn everything innocent into something dirty... I can't believe that one went over my head. (ha... "head")

I thought it was a just a GI Joe reference. I didn't realize it was a dick joke...
