My brain has the power
'cause it's trapped in a Grayskull
I'm tops like a dradle, I'm sharp like
Attack of the Clones was way dull

  • Rebranding bad-sounding things with a more positive spin. Or the inverse.

  • The hosts swap humorous stories about people they have known who were missing digits.
  • The cut scenes of extras using the turrets in the Falcon.
