Is Richard an allusion to Shakespeare?


Is Richard's name an allusion to Shakespeare's Richard the III, or am I just seeing meaning where there is none? He does have witty sililoques when he's scheming...

That is way cool, now that you mention it! I love Richard III so I'm not sure how I didn't notice it. I actually think there may be something to it, though there's just as good a chance that it's unintentional.
Still, awesome observation!

In Soviet Russia, joke over-uses YOU.

Yup, it is indeed a reference to Shakespeare. It was written on the show's official website.
