I'd bet a box of Egyptian sand that we see a MySpace reference somewhere in that flick...

What do solid reasoning and cool-headed practicality have to do with rampant speculation and predisposed poo-pooery?

Well, I heard that the Family Guy manatees did one of the rewrites, so let the hilarity begin!

Yeah, let's just wait for the movie to come out before we jump to lame and pointless conclusions.

Well Justin Timberlake is one of the voices, so expect something related to a "wardrobe malfunction" in the movie.

Hilarious thread title. I have no idea, but you're not far off with Myspace and some "top 8" or "tom" reference.

Justin Timberlake winds up having a brother, and he turns out gay.

I imagine we'll see some lampooning of Pirates of the Caribbean somewhere in there, just so they get a dig in at Disney.

I predict there will be some kind of American Idol type of reference.

Awesome thread.

I'm rusty on my pop-culture. Given the datedness of things in the first two I'd wager a Snakes on the Plane reference seeing as they might be up to speed that the fad crashed landed (hard) once the actual movie came out. Maybe Runaway Bride? Probably some reality show crap as well or Lost or CSI stuff.

Didn't they do that in the SHREK 2 DVD as a bonus feature?

QED.

Or Fiona will become a school teacher and get in trouble for screwing around with Peter Pan?

Oh goody. I can just see it now:

Donkey: Come on Shrek, reach a little further!

Shrek: I can't.

Donkey: Yes you can. Remember the time you thought you were Stretch Armstong?

(cut to scene of shrek with 50 foot long arms and legs).

With Timberlake as one of the voices, maybe we'll hear a character is 'bringing sexy back'...

I'm sure there will be a "wardrobe malfunction" gag in there somewhere.

Shrek will mention he has a new "blog" on his site.

How the hell is Shrek going to reference Myspace account if the internet, let alone computers, haven't been invented yet in that universe?

They did, but I saw it as a Pop Idol (UK) reference.
I still found Shrek 1 and 2 pretty hilarious when I last saw them recently. There's great fun stuff in there that isn't all pop culture references.
