Trivia: Demoman: The hat for Demo called the Stormin' Norman, has the item description on it "This knight's helm was painstakingly recreated using stills from the classic time travel episode (Ep 417: "A K.I.T.T. in King Arthur's Court") of the hit TV show Knight Rider." This is a reference and joke two to things, talking about the 1982 TV series Knight Rider where the car was called K.I.T.T. However there are only 90 episodes of that show but states it's from the 417th. It is also a play on the 1995 film called A Kid in King Arthur's Court, where a boy went back in time to the days of King Arthur.
