This is a ShoutOut to the infamous pirate from ''Literature/TreasureIsland'', of course, although it doesn't have to be a WholePlotReference as such. Creator/RobertLouisStevenson's novel did a lot to [[TropeCodifier codify]] most of the PirateTropes we know and love today, not least the character's other attributes of a PirateParrot and SeadogPegLeg. Even the TalkLikeAPirate trope can be traced directly to Creator/RobertNewton's iconic performance as Silver in [[Film/TreasureIsland1950 the 1950 film adaptation]]. As such, any callback to Long John's name makes the perfect piratical finishing touch.

What's the easiest way to tell someone is a {{Pirate}}? If he's named "Long John"! Pirates in fiction have a strong tendency to be named some variation of "Long John Silver", whether it's directly calling him "Long John X" or more of an indirect parody like "Short Jennie Goldstein."

Anytime you find a pirate in fiction or media, expect him to always have "Long John" in his name, as a ShoutOut to Long John Silver from ''Literature/TreasureIsland'', but not a direct WholePlotReference to ''Treasure Island''.
