==Explanation==<br />
This comic is a parody of the {{w|Discovery Channel}} commercial showing various clips of people singing a song with the chorus line [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0 'Boom De Yada']. The comic is divided into a grid of 4 by 6 panels, each depicting a character or situation from a previous xkcd strip. In each panel is written a part of a song similar to the song from the Discovery Channel commercial."<br />
<br />
The campaign from the {{w|Discovery Channel}} was not called "Boom De Yada", but {{w|I Love The World}}. It's possible that the title "xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel" is in reference to that.<br />
<br />
Most of the panels are references to previous xkcd strips. However, some are not:<br />
<br />
* The 1st panel is a reference to [[162|comic 161]], where Megan spins in a circle to "rob the planet of angular momentum."<br />
* The 2nd panel is a reference to [[413|comic 413]], where Megan and Cueball turn an EEE PC into a household pet.<br />
* The 3rd panel is a reference to [[434|comic 434]], where Beret Guy shows his liking for bakeries in first panel.<br />
* The 4th panel is a reference to [[239|comic 239]], where someone from the far future believes may people blogged while flying and wearing red capes and goggles.<br />
* The 5th panel is likely a reference to [[152|comic 152]], though there are multiple comics featuring human-sized hamster balls.<br />
* The 6th panel is a reference to the /b/ ("Random") forum on {{w|4chan}}, which is in fact home to plenty of "messed-up folks".<br />
* The 7th panel is a reference to [[150|comic 150]], where Megan decides that she has the ability to, and wants to, turn her house into a giant playpen.<br />
* The 8th panel is a reference to [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/robe-and-wizard-hat this (nsfw)].<br />
* The 12th panel is a reference to Randall Munroe's own hobby of [http://xkcd.com/kite/ kite photography].<br />
* The 13th panel is a reference to [[256|comic 256]], featuring a map of online communities at the time.<br />
* The 14th panel is a reference to a series of comics on "red spiders:" [[8|8: Red Spiders]], [[43|43: Red Spiders 2]], [[47|47: Counter-Red Spiders]], [[126|126: Red Spiders Cometh]], and [[427|427: Bad Timing]]. <br />
* The 15th panel is a reference to [[303|comic 303]], where two coders battle with fake swords at work, with the excuse that their code is compiling.<br />
* The 17th panel is a pun on the song {{w|Rock Me Amadeus}} and US president {{w|Barack Obama}}.<br />
* The 18th panel has Cueball's crotch replaced with the (similar-looking) icon used for a {{w|transistor}} in a circuit diagram.<br />
* The 20th panel is a reference to xkcd's recurring joke of dating the female character's sister, which spans several comics including [[49|comic 49]], [[279|comic 279]], [[317|comic 317]], and [[408|comic 408]].<br />
* The 21st panel is a reference to [[249|comic 249]] which inspired an internet meme.<br />
* The 23rd panel is a reference to [[108|comic 108]], where Hairy falls in love with "a girl whose only mode of transportation is the M.C. Hammer Slide." They are both shown in this panel, singing "Boom de Yada."<br />
* The 24th panel is a reference to [[409|comic 409]], where Megan and Cueball go on an electric skateboard ride. They are singing "Boom de Yada" in this panel.<br />

==Explanation==<br />
This comic is a parody of the {{w|Discovery Channel}} commercial showing various clips of people singing a song with the chorus line [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0 'Boom De Yada']. The comic is divided into a grid of 4 by 6 panels, each depicting a character or situation from a previous xkcd strip. In each panel is written a part of a song similar to the song from the Discovery Channel commercial."<br />
<br />
The campaign from the {{w|Discovery Channel}} was not called "Boom De Yada", but {{w|I Love The World}}. It's possible that the title "xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel" is in reference to that.<br />
<br />
Most of the panels are references to previous xkcd strips. However, some are not:<br />
<br />
* The 1st panel is a reference to [[162|comic 161]], where Megan spins in a circle to "rob the planet of angular momentum."<br />
* The 2nd panel is a reference to [[413|comic 413]], where Megan and Cueball turn an EEE PC into a household pet.<br />
* The 3rd panel is a reference to [[434|comic 434]], where Beret Guy shows his liking for bakeries in first panel.<br />
* The 4th panel is a reference to [[239|comic 239]], where someone from the far future believes may people blogged while flying and wearing red capes and goggles.<br />
* The 5th panel is likely a reference to [[152|comic 152]], though there are multiple comics featuring human-sized hamster balls.<br />
* The 6th panel is a reference to the /b/ ("Random") forum on {{w|4chan}}, which is in fact home to plenty of "messed-up folks".<br />
* The 7th panel is a reference to [[150|comic 150]], where Megan decides that she has the ability to, and wants to, turn her house into a giant playpen.<br />
* The 8th panel is a reference to [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/robe-and-wizard-hat this (nsfw)].<br />
* The 12th panel is a reference to Randall Munroe's own hobby of [[http://xkcd.com/kite/ kite photography]].<br />
* The 17th panel is a pun on the song {{w|Rock Me Amadeus}} and US president {{w|Barack Obama}}.<br />
* The 18th panel has Cueball's crotch replaced with the (similar-looking) icon used for a {{w|transistor}} in a circuit diagram.<br />
