Kip is a parody of the main character from the 2000 movie Cast Away.
The movie is about Chuck (played by Tom Hanks) who becomes stranded on an uninhabited island. In the movie, Chuck finds a bloody volleyball that he talks to as a companion. The volleyball is named "Wilson" because it is a product of the Wilson sporting goods company.
Here is a picture of Chuck and Wilson.
As you can see, TDD did a great job with Kip in this parody.
The name Kip was certainly chosen because of this little bit of trivia: Tom Hanks' very first role was as Kip Wilson on the TV show Bosom Buddies. So there you go, Kip + Wilson!
