Neglected Ancient References Faculty (NARF)

As much as I love all these allusions to 90's, there are some jokes I can't fully understand, due to gaps in my knowledge. I think there are other people with similar problems here, that's why I created this topic where all incomprehensible references could be explained. I hope that together we will make us enjoy PatB series even more.

OK, I have a question - in "Pinky and the Brain Reunion Special" there was a performance of Riverstone dance group. Was it a parody of some famous artists, or was it simply a fictional group made up by screenwriters?

It's a parody of the Riverdance troupe (called "Riverstomp" on PatB).

FYI, there's an old website with information on references and the like covering the show's first 39 episodes as well as their Animaniacs appearances:

Thank you, Sir!

I don't know why, but I always thought that they were called Riverstone on PatB... Silly me, NARF!

I've recently discovered that GARGANTUAN list (may its authors be blessed), and I was going to post it here, but you did it for me. Thanks ;)

My pleasure :) Now if only there was a way to collect data on all the remaining episodes...

The only way is to get it done by ourselves... The more fans involved, the better and more complete such potential list would be!
