In regards to the "tripod" bit, it happens during the scene where Austin Powers' father is talking to him in the prison cell. It's in a list of other jokes about the presumed penile length of mini-me. I seem to recall also the "like a baby's arm holding an apple" bit, which contrasted humorously with the shadow play bit where Mini-me grabbed an apple and tossed it up to Powers' mouth. It may be more accurate or at least more citable if we simply indicate that it is hinted at (rather extensively) that he has an enormous penis. -Fuzzy 21:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the tripod thing meant he had three balls like Dr. Evil66.176.172.119 19:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be included in the bio?: The Midget Count - Played by Guy Big, this is a three-foot tall clone of The Count (and possibly the inspiration for Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, given that Mike Myers grew up in Southern Ontario.) from The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.

what is the 1/8-rule mentioned?!

You're just jealous because his penis is bigger than yours.

Shouldn't he be called "Mini-Dr. Evil"? - R.G. 05:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, Chode would be better. His size is like that of a horse's penis.

The article general lacks references, but particularly the section on "Inspiration" - it sounds like a wonderful paragraph of unbased speculation. Please add references, it'd be unfortunate if the section would have to be deleted. Thanks, Ibn Battuta (talk) 00:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just deleted a large section of the page because of all of the Original research and in universe material. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 07:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't one eighth referring to the volume? 1/2 ^ 3 = 1/8 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.9.206 (talk) 12:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC) A horse's penis would be about the size of Mini-Me. Why not just call him Chode? He looks like one.[reply]

ok, he obviously hails from Golden Gun, Fantasy Island and the Blofeld Doppelgänger, but the most direct inspiration comes from The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). There an aging, obviously desperate for cash, Brando plays a villain doing a piano duet with a dwarf (Nelson de la Rosa), dressed like him (used as a blueprint for the "what if god was one of us" scene in Austin Powers 2). I think this should be included —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.249.45.148 (talk) 13:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had added a reference to Nelson de la Rosa in Jan 2008 but someone deleted it. IMHO, an encyclopedia entry about Mini Me is not complete without mentioning the Brando IDM and de la Rosa. Lafong (talk) 03:26, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why does he crawl up people's asses when he gets mad at them? What is wrong with this guy? If I pissed him off would I have to protect my ass? I don't want to get constipated from him getting stuck in my ass. Poor Austin Powers...

If he was cloned from Dr. Evil wouldn't he be his brother not his son in terms of genetics? (75.69.241.91 (talk) 02:45, 21 December 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I got to this page from Julian Edelman's. It seems there are quite a few people who are also called "mini-me". Yet, there is not one explanation for it.
