    The 6-8 year period is a refference to the lyric "allow if you're still alive, 6 to 8 years to arrive" from the song Walkin' on the Sun by Smash Mouth

    Some other hidden Easter eggs:
    2:59 the boulder that falls on weird al is the one from a different encanto song, surface pressure. Also, the reason that Bruno looks at the prophecy and weird al in a scared manner is because he forsees thr boulder falling on him
    5:14 along with the sourkrout you can also see harvey the wonder hamster from the weird al show and a spatula referencing the spatula city ad from uhf

    One thing you missed. In the Hello segment, the character is drinking “Bilchik Wine”. Bilchik is the last name of George’s Uncle Harvey in UHF.
    Also Bill Plympton did a portion of the Polka Face video as well, which you didn’t mention.
    Otherwise great video. You pointed out a few things that I missed even on the 27th viewing of the video!
