It helps that his GenreSavvy mental processes, due to every native inhabiting each fictional world being [[ContractualGenreBlindness bound by the conventions]] governing said worlds, make him seem like an [[CrazyAwesome utter lunatic]] to the natives.

* ShoutOut: The SI refers to the [[KnownSpace Kzinti Lesson]] after being reminded that being outside while [[TenchiMuyo Mihoshi]] is landing is a Bad Idea. Well, he doesn't really ''refer'' to it so much as ''shout the phrase loudly and repeatedly at himself while running for cover'', but hey, still a shout-out.
