Me, revealing to Mago details about a toy he got from his friend for his birthday:
Oh, I think this helicopter is the main bad guy’s. See it has a cobra logo on it. The main bad guy in G.I. Joe is named Cobra.
What does he do?
I don’t really remember. Probably try to take over the world, which is kind of funny.
Why is it funny?
Oh.. there’s this cartoon called Animaniacs, with two mice that scientists do experiments with; these mice live in a science lab. One of them is an evil genius, and the other is an innocent goofball.
What’s an innocent goofball?
That means he’s wacky and he doesn’t know what’s going on. But every episode, the evil genius mouse does something to try to take over the world, to control the whole world, and it never works, something always goes wrong.
Later, Mago, already a fan of a cartoon he’s never seen (whoops! – on my part), relays this to Tia (who of course already knows all this, but is indulging Mago):
.. and one of them is an evil genius! – and the other is a hideous pitball!
