“Fee speech” is a serendipitous typo. Or maybe you meant it. First I’ve heard it, anyway.

First glance at the thumbnail made me think I was looking at an old pickup truck with a desert camouflage blanket over it.

This doesn’t meet the bar you want, but my marketing professor called the .99 idea the single greatest thing to come out of marketing in a century.

Fun fact! The official name for that holiday is Washington’s Birthday.

I don’t know the story behind its label of President’s Day but on the federal reserve’s website it shows:
“Washington’s Birthday (President’s Day)”

Could be:

-the victim of racism
-a terminal narcissist
-very neurodivergent and not picking up social cues obvious to most
-sociopathically omitting context like “btw I was caught with albums of pictures of neighborhood kids”
-having been falsely accused of the previous one, but then failing to recognize that as an explanation

So… they’re going to make us all billionaires?

YES. THEY WILL. You will not have a billion dollars, but they will make you a billionaire!

Visually this makes the most sense to me.

Yeah! Like, singing your favorites to the dog but changing the words to be about their floppy ears or their Frito paws.

The Web invaded Mainframe
Sprite and virus battled side by side,
Attempting to reclaim the city
from the rift which opened wide.

But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
he threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed and Bob was hosed
and all that he could say was “Nooo!”

Without Bob to protect us
we thought we would have no barrier,
From he who would infect us
except Enzo, which was scarier,
The city shivered terrified
from fear of the Infector’s touch…

“I guess your fear was verified, I wasn’t a protector much.”

(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn’t a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn’t a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn’t a protector-ector much)

It wasn’t Enzo’s fault at first
he only was a little Sprite,
At best he was the worst but then
he slowly learned to do it right,

And just as he was getting skilled
a Game came down he couldn’t win,
I thought for sure they’d both been killed,
first Bob then Enzo, not again!

(And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn’t win)
(She thought for sure they’d both been killed, first Bob then Enzo, not again!)

I went from Game to Game
I aged, I grew and lost my innocence,
I soon became enraged by each
and ev’ry bad experience,

The Sprite you knew was gone
I had become a grim aggressor man,
I knew from that point on
that I was truly Bob’s successor man.

(The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man)
(He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob’s successor man)

I met up with the Webriders
and took the form of Interface,
I joined my gun with pirate swords
and sailed the seas of cyberspace,

And when at last the pair of us
were fin’lly reunited guys,
Our shouts of joy did blare because
we really were delighted guys.

We soon made tracks to Mainframe
so our friends could reunite with us,
We made it back and Megabyte
was waiting there to fight with us.

When Bob went face to face
to face to face with Hexadecimal…

…his chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesimal.

(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesi-esi-mal)

Bob helped to defragment my head
while Matrix fought with Megabyte,
I thought he’d wind up dead
but Matrix put up a terrific fight.

I’d dreamed of this each lonely night
of doing in that virus trash,
But just as I had won the fight
he engineered a system crash!

(You dreamed of this each lonely night of doing in that virus trash)
(But just as you had won the fight he engineered a system crash)

What Megabyte had hoped to do
was cause his death to crack us up,
I gambled on the User to ReBoot
and thereby back us up.

It worked! We all were born anew
and rid of things barbaric,
And now we’re back together,
Ev’rything’s alphanumeric!

(It worked, we all were born anew and rid of things barbaric)
(And now we’re back together, ev’rything’s alphanumeric)

And now we’re back together,
EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!!

That’s the late Tony Jay. He’s my all-time favorite voice.

Wonderful, wonderful show. My introduction was Ambient Swim’s inclusion of “Joe Pera talks you to sleep.” Then when the recommendations showed me he had a series, I tried it and was hooked.

His character makes me cry good tears. I laugh so hard. When Lulu returned his greeting in the restaurant but tacked on that “Don’t come over here.” I was slain.

I still can’t tell if he’s waiting to “finish the DVD commentary” to break character, or if he’s actually like that.

Dad buying their underage wife and her friend sounds like a good way to get canceled. Or worse.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea per-se but I can imagine a ton of ways how that could backfire.

I second the Dear Esther mention. I almost feel like it’s a dead body starting at me from my Steam library for the past decade+.
