YMMV / More Information Than You Require

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: The unusual precipitation subplot has some hilariously horrific moments
  • Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming: All the alien-related stories (watch here) lead up to a declaration of love for his wife. "And even though, you must admit, the likelihood is that while she was away she was kidnapped and replaced by an alien clone, I still love her." D'aww.
  • Memetic Badass: Teddy Roosevelt originally built the American Museum of Natural History as a kind of lepidopterist's "killing jar". But instead of butterflies, he put dinosaurs inside and starved them UNTIL THEY WERE SKELETONS.
  • Memetic Mutation: 700 Mole-Man names and their occupations. Also, there is an article called "The Internet: A Series of Tubes", after the meme Hodgman helped to popularize.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Parodied.
