P.S.: Somehow I already saw this episode 5 times and only figured out last time that "Undisputed Ruler of Terrencania" comes from that episode. It might be harder cuz I don't see episodes in English (only when I'm watching them on YouTube) But you can still hear it.
The weapons(such as the sledgehammers)and the steel traps in the New Guy's room are all actually references to some popular American comedians, since that sort of comedy was the New Guy's thing. The sledgehammers are a reference to a comedian called "Gallager"(whose name I probably mispelled), whose well-known skits include sledgehammering a watermelon on stage, sending chunks of melon all over the audience. Penn and Teller did a skit once involving steel traps and often use all sorts of awful-looking implements in their acts. At first, the traps and things just make the New Guy seem more menacing-until you find out that he's a wannabe comedian, and then you are supposed to make that connection between his comedy and those things in his room.
