Clearly this chair is one of the products that [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Beret_Guy's_Business Beret Guy's Business] sells. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.195|162.158.62.195]] 23:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

:I was more surprised it was not [[Beret Guy]] producing this last chair. It would have been something that was possible for him to do with any old office chair. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 
  
 
Isn't the "Two hours later" caption a [https://www.google.com/search?q=two+hours+later+spongebob+meme reference] to SpongeBob?

: I'd say these type of time passing descriptions are more or less the same age as comic books. I didn't even know this is a meme, now... Example in the fourth panel at 2:44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSKp8cjpEUo ;) [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 07:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

: Yeah, I'd say it's not any more a reference to spongebob than to every other play, comic book, movie, tv series, or novel that skips over a time period in that way. [[User:PotatoGod|PotatoGod]] ([[User talk:PotatoGod|talk]]) 20:12, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 
::Yes that is not a specific reference. It is a reference to time passing... As old as time itself ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 
:::Just checked  and Randall already used it back in [[309: Shopping Teams]] in 2007. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:33, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 
  
 
But can it do [https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CookedThisChicken-mobile.jpg this]? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.186.22|172.69.186.22]] 13:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

The chair in the last panel looks like something a GAN (generative adversarial neural network) would come up with. It has lots of very chair-ish parts, so it must be a chair, right? [[User:Aaron Rotenberg|Aaron Rotenberg]] ([[User talk:Aaron Rotenberg|talk]]) 15:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 
 
The chair in the last panel also looks like one large chair made up of normal-ish size chair parts.  [[User:Tait marconi|Tait marconi]] ([[User talk:Tait marconi|talk]]) 19:42, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 
:Hmm yes as seen from the front maybe? --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 
 
There's those school lunch tables - Google will show you - that fold away, and that have rows of seats built-in to the mechanism, so that all the seats are deployed as you open out the table.  Robert Carnegie, gml. rja.carnegie.  [[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.240|141.101.107.240]] 08:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 
 
I think I fought one of these chairs in Undertale [[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.220|162.158.75.220]] 14:29, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 
 
My office chair likes to randomly pop up on its own when I stand up. More often than not, the backrest cushion ends up smashing into the table behind me.

The last picture looks like a reference to discworld, the elephants on a turtle supporting the world.
