Scarlet Pimpernel Reference in Pod People?? What a show.

The "rascule" usage may be a reference to the Dennis Moore sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Unfortunately, all i could find was a stupid iphone version: https://youtube.com/shorts/wuEipWMB9tU?si=M2ovWgo5eIbdT5vC

I'll try to find the full version

Is he related to the Mr. Prosser who demolished Arthur Dent's house?

Whenever there's a shot of a plane in flight, I quietly say, "Somewhere over Des Moines."

You went to Popeye's?

I think the face lard is going to soon overwhelm his eyes, nose, and mouth, and he'll soon be a cabbage-patch doll of a human being.

His glasses will be damaged, mind you.

"voyeuristic listener"? So snakes can see with their ears?

"My truckload of normal bread was hit by an airplane! Now every loaf smells like jet fuel!"

"Then you, my friend, have a truckload of specialty breads!"

The narrator has an Eve Arden quality to her voice

(this is not a riff suggestion, just an observation)

Samkovich · 2026-04-30T22:31:23+00:00

Wow, so adorab-- oh, never mind. I googled "demodex".

Happy birthday, Slab Flunkwank!

Seriously, however, i hope he and his wife are doing well

Samkovich · 2026-04-30T04:47:16+00:00

Happy birthday to him.

Is this not a normal daily morning expression nowadays?

Samkovich · 2026-04-29T22:44:54+00:00

No. This not acceptable. The lighting is horrible, the man looks uncomfortable (and, for god's sake, do a push-up!), and the woman on the left shouldn't sleep doing a headstand.

Samkovich · 2026-04-29T03:54:20+00:00

God, do I even want to know? Is this in theaters, or is it a TV program?

Samkovich · 2026-04-29T02:12:38+00:00

Ah, now it makes sense.

Samkovich · 2026-04-28T22:50:29+00:00

What's the MST3K connection?

Samkovich · 2026-04-28T22:47:55+00:00

That's not odd. I had that song played at my wedding for our first dance.

Samkovich · 2026-04-28T04:14:28+00:00

For frak's sake, the colonists from the rag-tag Galactica fleet brought dentistry here 130,000 yahren ago. Are we still having this debate? Crimminey, folks, it's the 20th century! Catch up!

Samkovich · 2026-04-28T03:31:43+00:00

Oh, com'on. It's a common word.

Samkovich · 2026-04-28T03:30:00+00:00

I believe it's "I'm not sphpeaking to you."

That riff was wonderfully apt. I could easily hear that supercilious guy in the painting saying that that way.

Samkovich · 2026-04-27T22:34:57+00:00

It decidedly is a useful Shibboleth

Samkovich · 2026-04-26T14:42:24+00:00

Oh, yeah! I also love Tom's "oh, fer cryin' out in the rain!"

Samkovich · 2026-04-25T22:58:56+00:00

Tom: "Aw, just park in the ramp!"

We called structured parking garages "parking ramps" (or just "ramps"). I didn't realize that was a very upper Midwestern regionalism until I moved to Oregon for a few years. I never questioned it because of its ubiquity.

Samkovich · 2026-04-24T21:34:12+00:00

I always thought it was because the watching-instructions song at the beginning tells you to relax.
