Trivia
- The hat is a reference to Mustafa, one of Dr. Evil's henchmen in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. There are several links:
- In the film, Austin says to Mustafa "I don't recall your name, but your fez is familiar." [1].
- The artwork used for the pack's Polycount entry image was a recreation of a still of Mustafa in the same pose, and the creator had admitted to watching Austin Powers a week prior to designing the pack.
- The entry's description mentions a "line of three-question-format". In the film, Mustafa was unable to withhold answers after being asked the same question three times (on account of the fact it irritates him).
- Along with the Dead Ringer, the Familiar Fez may be a subtle reference to Doctor Who. A main story arc revolved around a Fob watch in the Tenth Doctor's series, which is almost identical to the Dead Ringer. Similarly,
the Eleventh Doctor enjoys wearing Fezes, at one point in the show stating that "Fezzes are cool."
