He also collects terrible NES games, so you'd think he would recognize Waldo from one of those Where's Waldo NES games (you know, finding Waldo when you're too lazy to turn the page). Apparently he's called Wally everywhere else. Not sure why they changed it to Waldo here. Wally actually rolls off the tongue a little better. Hmm, here's a solution. Make his last name Waldo (I don't think he ever had a last name before). So now it's like double alliteration. Wally Waldo, I could get into that.
