I fail to see what George Bryan Brummell has to do with Ambush Bug.

What is George Bryan Brummell known for? His (occasionally over-the-top) love of clothing/fashion. Look at the article: claimed 5 hours to dress, elaborate neckware and boots polished with champagne.

Brum-El is a series of jokes and references, of which Brummell is but one: he's a parody of Superman's origins (his planet being doomed, he quickly constructs a one-seater rocket to save his most valued possession). However, in keeping with his name and the tied-in description as the "best dressed man" "three years running", he decides that his clothes are the most important thing and saves them. (His name's also a parody of the habit of DC superheroes from other planets to be named something-El -- Kal-El, Kara Zor-El, Cir-El, Mon-El, etc. -- but that's another discussion.) While I agree that a citation wouldn't hurt, if you can't see the obvious inspiration for the resultant name of Brum-El in this context then I can't help you further. -- g026r 20:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why a citation is needed, since it's pretty obvious that Brum-El is a reference to Beau Brummell. However, maybe the use of the word "probably" (as in "probably is a reference to Beau Brummel" or something similar) to show that this is speculation (though, again, barely constituting speculation when you consider how obvious the pun is) would make all parties happy?

This article needs the B-Class checklist filled in to remain a B-Class article. If the checklist is not filled in by 7th August this article will be re-assessed as C-Class. The checklist should be filled out referencing the guidance given at

Done. As it is flagged as lacking sources and there are citation requests in the page it clearly fails on that front. (Emperor (talk) 03:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]

There aren't enough references about Argh!Yle! in this article. -Golem866 (talk)

So, the line:

"He also met with Dream of the Endless in the Dreaming, and he accused him of not having a sense of humor as to make a living for himself in Dream's series in that capacity."

Who accused who of what again? After a couple re-reads I think I get what was intended, but an someone who knows the subject take a few pronouns out and replace them with Proper nouns to make it a bit readable? Pretty sure it is saying Ambush Bug accused Dream of not having a sense of humor, in a bid by Ambush bug to make a home for himself in Dream's series. Hmmm.. is this also implying that Ambush Bug sees beyond the Fourth Wall, akin to Deadpool, Loki and She-Hulk in the Marvel Universe? That might be of interest to readers. - Reverend Loki (talk) 22:24, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
