God damnit I just figured out why his name was Red Herring.

it's called Black Rook hold because it looks like a giant Black Rook. Kinda funny to base a building off a chess piece but whatever

>>92003635
because his family name is Herring and his hair is red?

>>92003732
No, it because he's a herring in disguise, dumbass.

Not being addicted to TV Tropes is a good thing.

I'm pretty sure the term predates TV tropes by at least a few decades.

Don't feel bad, I recently just realized that Lazlo was literally a happy camper

>The episode were he was actually the villian and Fred just lose his shit

I realized the villain of Genndy's Like Cage is Dr. Suess.

Sometimes when you encounter a problem, such as trying to solve a puzzle or remember a name, your brain will keep working subconsciously to resolve the problem, even when you've stopped actively trying to do so.

You've been trying to figure this out since the late 80s. How does it feel to be free?

In That 70s Show, Mr. Foreman was nicknamed "Red" as a child by his mother. And he's very vocal about being anti-commie but still goes by that name.
