Promotion for a now-defunct Cafepress store.
Alucard: All right, I’ll bite. Why are you drinking out of a stein that says “Fanboy”?
Walter: Because Cafepress doesn’t have teacups.
Alucard: …That really doesn’t help.

Anderson: My brother animals, you owe much to God, & must always & in every place give praise to Him…
All right, who turned out the lights?
Convention Of Fanatic Generation 45/59
Announcer: And now, our first entry in the “Group” category…Father Alexander Anderson and the boys from Ferdinant Lukes orphanage…
…as Saint Francis of Assisi with the animals!
Yumiko: Sooo…cute…
Enrico: She melted.

I take it back. He’s at exactly the right age to be that cynical.
Announcer: And the “Most Attitude” award goes to…
Yumiko: It’s sweet to think up an award for every kid.
Enrico: No, it’s not.
It just strings them along with a false sense of optimism. When they find out that the real world doesn’t coddle you like that, they’ll be crushed.
Heinkel: Aren’t you a little young to be that cynical?
Enrico: I’m a teenager, not an idiot.

That’s David as in “and Goliath”; the young Jesus cosplayer is doing the story with Jairus’ daughter; and I don’t know what that baby’s mother was thinking.
One introduction later:
Heinkel: So it’s a costume contest.
Yumiko: Oooh, we gt to see the kids first!
Heinkel: Did David really wear jeans?
Enrico: Did Mother Theresa wear a sheet?
Heinkel: Baby Jesus looks like he’s gonna be sick.
Enrico: Maybe it’s his mom’s outfit.
Cosplayer 1: Wake up, kid!
Cosplayer 2: You don’t have to yell.

Yumiko: Heinkel, wake up!
Heinkel: …Eh?
Yumiko: The line’s moving!
Enrico: Finally. We’ve been waiting way too long!
…Obviously, we didn’t wait for long enough.
What’s Up, Doc?: Wascawwy Wabbit
Although the Nazis focused most of their oppression and murder on Jewish people, the Holocaust also included groups such as Jehovah’s Witnesses (marked with purple triangles), Roma (marked, along with others, with black triangles), and homosexuals (women got black triangles, and men pink triangles — thus the use of the pink triangle as a reclaimed gay pride symbol today). Bugs would probably have been looked at askance under that last category.
Doc: Already, questions for “What’s Up, Doc?” are coming in at the forum!
Forum: What is the Herr Doktor’s opinion of the Looney Tunes episode where Bugs Bunny meets Reichsmarschall Göring and plays a series of tricks on him?
Doc: An excellent question. Of course this was censored in Germany at the time, but part of my pay was in the form of satellite television.
Actually, the rabbit in question had long been on our watch list.
So when this cartoon came up, it was easy to dispatch someone…
Rip: You’re going to be vewwy, vewwy quiet, you wascawwy wabbit.
Doc: After that, the problem was solved.

Cameo: Kryten has appeared before, because whenever I hear “So what is it?” my brain goes into that sketch from Red Dwarf.
Narration: It was a long line.
Yumiko: Enrico?
Enrico: Yeah?
Yumiko: I’m nervous…I’ve never been to a dance before.
Enrico: Oh, the masquerade isn’t a dance!
Yumiko: Really? So what is it?
Enrico: I’ve never seen one before.
Kryten: No one has…but I’m guessing it’s a white hole.
Enrico: So, um, your guess is as good as mine.
Convention Of Fanatic Generation 40/59
Yumiko: If I may ask…What did you buy?
Enrico: I’ll show you…
…but be VERY careful with it.
Yumiko: Oh, wow! It’s beautiful!
Heinkel: Isn’t it cool?
Narration: This, folks, is called building narrative suspense.
Convention Of Fanatic Generation 39/59
Alex: It’s good of you to offer help, child. But you need to get in line for the masquerade.
Heinkel: But it’s not for another hour.
Alex: One hour?
Heinkel: Yeah! Plenty of…
Alex: Go! Now! Run, do not walk!
…Okay, maybe you could have walked.
