Am I totally wrong or is this a Get Smart reference? I haven't seen any James Bond movies - except for occasional action scenes :(

If it was Get Smart, he would talk into his elbow while listening to his wrist.

Rowan Atkinson or whatever his name is. There's a game I play with an island called Lima Island, and on that island is a shop called Rowan Wrights among other bean-related things...

I'm pretty sure the shoe phone is a Get Smart ref. I've not seen the show in quite a while, but I remember the shoe phone.

Yup, Maxwell Smart, agent 86. He'll be having trouble with doors...

That is most definently a Get Smart referrence. He's had phones built into nearly everything, including his suit, fishing rod, etc, but if someone has a SHOE phone, it's Get Smart.

From what I remember from the cartoon, I think it's an Inspector Gadget reference. I don't remember much, but I think he had a phone in his shoe.

Yeah, it's Get Smart. Maxwell Smart had a shoe-phone. Inspector Gadget's hand was his phone, with the antenna coming out of his thumb, and his pinky as the speaker.
