Naming[edit]
Co-MC's name is a pun on the word "co-emcee." The word "emcee" is an informal term to refer to a master of ceremonies; as such, "co-emcee" literally means "co-master of ceremonies," reflecting his status as a co-star on Club Mario, along with Tommy Treehugger. His name may also be a reference to American rapper MC Hammer, known for popular songs such as "U Can't Touch This" and "2 Legit 2 Quit"; this is supported in the Club Mario segment for The Legend of Zelda episode "Cold Spells," where Tommy learns that he is at a barbecue at MC Hammer's house.
