- Canada bayou
- Pal drinking in a bar
- The dunking of mayor Al Weiss

- A pirate drinking rum with several terrified people
Theme Song
The Pirates of the Mall theme song is often heard at frat parties. It begins:
Oh ho, oh ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we gossip and gab,
Look up me hearties, oh ho.
We kidnap and ravage and work in a lab,
Look up me hearties, oh ho.
Oh ho, oh ho, a pirate's life for me.
