List of Tributes

It has become a Press Buttons and Talk tradition that, in some episodes where a character dies or a dead person is alluded to, the ending tag will be replaced by a memorial for the character, with the sad music from Kingdom Hearts in the background.

Tributes

 * Stephen Hawking (1928-2018) - In Episode 34 of Wheel of Fortune, Manky mentioned something that Stephen Hawking apparently said. When they recalled that he had died, they decided to dedicate the episode to him. This is the one instance of the tribute being for a real life person.
 * Stuart Little (1945-2019) - In the final episode of Magical Tetris Challenge, the group discuss various topics related to Stuart Little and how he would fare in different situations, as well as different ways to kill him. This builds up to Manky being forced to eat Stuart Little as a condition for losing a Tetris match. Manky attempts to avoid this, but he ends up doing so by throwing Stuart against the wall and inadvertently killing the genius mouse-person. He is quickly mourned in the series' closing moments.
 * Little Weird Bird-Fuck and Grungus (2001-2019) - In Episode 15 of Mega Man Battle Network, there ended up being two deaths to be mourned. First, there was Little Weird Bird-Fuck, an enemy that sacrified itself in an attempt to protect another enemy known as Fatty Whale, because it cared deeply for it. Then at the end of the episode, a strange man dubbed Grungus collapsed after drinking poisoned water. Thus the episode was dedicated to both of them.
 * Goldeen (1998-2019) - In Episode 1 of Pokemon Trading Card Game, they evolve their Goldeen card into a Seaking card, and they learn that Pokemon die when they evolve. Notably, this episode was released the day after the aforementioned Mega Man Battle Network episode.
