What's so funny about Judge Reinhold's name in the movie Fanboys?
Hi members, I have a new question: What's so funny about Judge Reinhold's name in the movie "Fanboys"? Could you please provide me with several answers? I'm really curious to understand the humor behind it. Thank you!

It is likely a joke similar to those found in South Park. The principal is named Principal Victoria, which is a play on the name Victoria Principal.
In the film Fanboys, Billy Dee Williams portrays a judge at the county jail where the characters were detained for speeding. His name, Judge Reinhold, is a reference to a real actor's name.
The cast of Fanboys is extensive and includes many humorous and self-aware individuals—how else could Lando Calrissian himself agree to play a police official named Judge Reinhold?
The "Reinhold" joke has been used twice before, in Arrested Development and Clerks: The Animated Series.
In Arrested Development, Judge Reinhold appears in a television program where he plays the star of a show called 'Mock Trial with J. Reinhold.' This is a parody of other court shows like Judge Judy and Judge Mathis.
Sometimes, a movie's humor lies in its character names. For more examples, see WatchMojo.com's list of the Top 10 Funny Movie Character Names.
