Trivia[]
- Much of Yorick's characterization was based off of jester and death motifs. This was based off of the fact that the name "Yorick" is often times associated with the jester of the same name in the Shakspearean play Hamlet, which was used to explore the concept of memento mori. To add onto this, some of Yorick's characterization, such as his sadism and his dark sense of humor, was based off of the Joker from the Batman franchise.
- His insanity is also based on a figurative interpretation of the text from The Gashlycrumb Tinies: "Y is for Yorick whose head was knocked in".
- Other aspects of Yorick's characterization, particularly his charisma and his hamminess, was based on that of Dr. Eggman. Other elements of the character, such as the design of his sleeves and jacket were also based on the design of Eggman.
