The two-part dream episode "A Nightmare on Dick Street".Meaning Dick and the others had a more of a right to be scared than they thought. Come "Alien Hunter," Dick almost has his head cut open by a woman who thinks he's capable of doing exactly the kind of harm the aliens from that movie do. Harsher in Hindsight: In "Hotel Dick," Dick, Sally and Harry were all horrified after they watched a movie about killer aliens and feared humans really believed they were capable of such carnage.That sounds like alien Techno Babble, but is actually the scientific name for tomatoes. When Sally gets a tomato plant and becomes obsessed with him, she names him "Jeremy," claiming that she originally wanted to call it "Lycopersicon Esculentum," but that sounded too snotty.Trying to blend in as a human physics professor means Dick does equal parts Genius Bonus and alien Techno Babble, like "grading on a transient loop".Many listeners will simply associate this joke with the massive stone heads and laugh, but a person who has read about the ecological and societal collapse resulting from overuse of natural resources due to Moai construction will understand the "got out of hand" differently. During one episode, Dick comments that Easter Island was a practical joke that got out of hand."The Tooth Harry" demonstrated their potential, but they broke up before they ever got together due to a One Dialogue, Two Conversations misunderstanding. In the same vein as the keep away, the event Don describes as " Juggling newborns." It's not as bad as it sounds, but it was severe enough for Don to give the Solomons a pretty severe What the Hell, Hero?. ĭick: Nina, please, we're talking about prejudice here, something you know nothing about.ĭick: Oh, right. But put it in a Good-Times Montage like this one. Crosses the Line Twice: Playing "keep away" with someone's baby? Black Comedy.Their dance includes some tricky choreography that is executed flawlessly and, once it's done, is acknowledged by no one. Mary and Judith exit shortly behind them and, after watching silently for a moment, join in (along with the first few people leaving behind them). Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: After the King Of The Jig show in "A Friend In Dick", Harry and Don perform a spontaneous Irish step dance of their own outside the theater.Also counts as a Crowning Moment of Funny, Heartwarming, and Awesome. The "Mission Song" from the last moments of the series finale, made all the better by the entire quartet actually knowing how to sing and harmonize reasonably well.
