Ass blasters? what a lame name, so I came up with Fire Farters, much better :)
shareWhat about Rocket Rumps?
shareI'm betting the writers sat round a table and came up with every single one of those.
And eventually someone said, "So no-one's got a better idea than Ass Blasters...?"
Personally I think it's REALISTIC. Come on, if those monsters were real, human beings would probably call them Ass Blasters.
It should be Shriek Blasters. But i love the name of Butt blasters, they wanted to make it hilarious.
shareIt makes sense to call them ass blasters because fire farters or any other name would been dumb or simple one episode TV show Blast from the past Burt said AB which is short for ass blaster and besides it funny to name that I don't see the point of changing names and if you want to say AB that's perfectly fine I don't see the point of try change what is already establish on film so there no point in renaming I have cousin who dislike the name Graboid so he contines to call them Tremors
share"Ass Blasters" was a nod to the movie Clerks (albeit an outtake available on the Clerks DVD bonus features), where there's mention of a porno called "Ass Blasters From Outer Space." The fact that Desert Jack replies by saying "Sounds like a porno" makes this all the more evident. Also of interest, Jack's name is Jack Sawyer -- the main character's name from Stephen King and Peter Straub's "The Talisman" and "Blackhouse" books.
