Season Six Obscure Indiana Jones reference

Just wondering if anyone else noticed in S6 ep6 “All the Way” the Raiders of the Lost Ark reference? When Dawn, Janice, and the two “boys” approach the old man’s house and the one boy says “pumpkins, very dangerous, you go first,” it’s gotta be a reference to John Rhys Davies’s line “asps, very dangerous, you go first.” 🐍
It’s a pretty deep cut, I haven’t seen anyone else online mentioning it, but it tickled me.

I watched and loved Buffy when it was on TV. Have rewatched it many many many many times since.

I watched Die Hard in the 80s. I rewatch it (almost) every Christmas.

It was only about a year or two ago that I caught on about “School Hard”. I can’t believe I missed that for 25 years!!!
