at least since the beginning of the "mattscheibe" show, it's kalkofe trademark to use many various humorous pseudonyms and puns based upon his real last name often mispronounced or misremembered by people and the fact that it involves the syllable "kalk", which is the german word for "chalk" or "lime", and at times these puns also show conscious interplay with the german verb "verkalken" ("to calcify", "to fossilize", "to ossify", "being a fossil"). examples involve kalkofe himself and merchandizing relating to his shows referring to him as "kalkinator" (in reference to the terminator) "terminating" bad television (many of the show's different intros and merchandizing depict him violently destroying television sets), "kalk-man" (in reference to superheroes such as superman, used for his online campaign "kalk-man hilf!" where viewers can point out examples of bad television they want him to parodize), as well as the title to the "mattscheibe" show's current incarnation calling it "re"kalk"ed" (in reference to the current movie trend of calling director's cuts, remakes, reboots, and sequels "re"-something, such as "apocalypse now redux", or calling remixes or re-releases of pre-existing material "revisited", such as the best-of album "peter gabriel revisited").
