Funny / The Isle of Rangoon

Reviews

Ratatoing

• Sunny Jim: "T-That's Dan Green! Dan 'Yugi Motoh' Green! What's he doing here?!?"
• The Orc song from the Rankin-Bass The Hobbit playing the first time the cat shows up.

Pinocchio3000

• The Spaceballs reference when a severely unsubtle Green Aesop is incoming.

Elf Bowling the Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike

• Throughout the review, Jim and Starch make multiple attempts to invoke an appearance by Zeus owing to the film's copious use of Deus ex Machina. Eventually, they do get Zeus to appear, except he's... busy.

Mega Pirahna

• When Fitch's (the main character of the movie) phone dies, his companion (played by Tiffany) suggests he suck on the battery to create more electric charge. Jim, seeing this, gets curious and tries it himself, only to get electrocuted. When Jim gets back up off the floor, his pupils have turned into plus and minus signs.

Christmas is Here Again

• After hearing Jay Leno's opening narration, Starchibald and Jim wonder about the other choices; Gilbert Gottfried, Emo Phillips and Ben Kenobi's dragon roar.
  • Starchibald, Jim, a Husky dog, Obscurus Lupa and Josh Langland tell Leno to shut up.

Riffs

Torchy the Battery Boy

• When Torchy arrives to torment Jim and Starch after the short ends by playing his annoyingly catchy theme song, Jim retaliates by fighting fire with fire: by loudly singing back "Bacon Pancakes". And it works.

Christmas Comes But Once a Year

• At one point, the duo comments on a scene where a girl is riding a high chair attached to a vacuum cleaner:
  Sunny Jim: (Talking for the girl) This car sucks.
  (The audience is heard booing over the pun)
• Starchibald ends up setting up a double Brick Joke over the course of the riff in the form of St. Vexatious and a Medical Whimsy Intolerence attack that requires Trent to medicate him. Post-riff, we get to hear the supposedly-traditional, utterly ludicrous tale of St. Arlo Vexatious. How accurate it is, however, is questionable at best, because:
  Sunny Jim: "Uh...Uh, Trent? Did you give him the pills in the green and red case? Or the chartreuse and scarlett box?"
  Trent: "Um...both?"
  Sunny Jim: "Oh, boy."

What's it to You? (with Linkara)

• "Not even the mighty Zeus can stop Mylar!" "I HEARD THAT."
• Starchibald's unconcealed lust towards the trampolinist.

Doozy Bots

• "Put 'em together and what've you got?" "A lawsuit from the Planeteers?"

Don't Touch!

• In the ending scene, Starch's (and Trent's) apartment becomes infested with blasting caps because he didn't put up a warning poster. As Jim plays cartoony music over the scene, the caps start exploding all over the place, much to Starch and Trent's dismay.
  (explosions)
  Trent: My computer!
  (more explosions)
  Trent: My books!
  (further explosions, Starch panicking)
  Trent: My booze!
  Schnapps: (popping up from the side) His booze!

Return to Bargain Basement

• Starchibald's Grammar Nazi behavior segues into him cutting a promo.
  Starch: "Believe me, you couldn't believe it? Believe me, you couldn't believe it? You seriously did that, Bargain Basement? You thought this would stand? This isn't a game, Bargain Basement. You have crossed a line, a mumbly, greasy line. And IT WILL NOT STAND. Fight me, Bargain Basement. You wanna chop nuts? Let's chop nuts!"
  Jim: "Dang, dude. You said you were switching to decaf!"
  Starch: "I. Lied."
  Jim: "At least save it for the Pay-Per-View!"
  Starch: "Okay. You get a reprieve this time, Bargain Basement. But at Summer Slam 2018, you and me? We're gonna hash this out. Hash this out like professional colleagues with an academic disagreement! Oooh, yeah! So be ready, Starchimaniacs, 'cause the pain, it's a-coming! Two weeks after you forget that I made this joke!"
