That WAS a dragon, not a pterosaur.

When Rad posts a video that goes viral, he tries to milk his fifteen minutes of fame.

!!Tropes:
* AmusingAlien: Deconstructed; Rad's becomes famous ''entirely'' because people thought his alien interjection "Blorp!" is funny, not because of any humor he puts works into. When he's cast in a movie, he finds out he's been pigeonholed it's what basically [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything science-fictional]] UncleTomfoolery.
* CelebrityIsOverrated: Rad becomes famous, but people only like him for one line, not any of the work he put into his video.
* ContinuityNod: In "Presenting Joe Cuppa", Enid said her preferred form of humor is physical. Sure enough, she's the only one shown to like Rad's video for the slapstick he intended, not just because he said "Blorp!"
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Rad gets cast in a (supposedly) big Hollywood movie, but finds he's been typecast as a one-dimensional stereotype--because he's an alien.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Rad begins the episode by explaining that he's OK with people laughing at a video where he gets hurt because "it's [his] joke". When the first feedback he gets besides his close friends is about how funny him saying "Blorp!" was, not any of the thing he was talking about earlier, it's an early hint that he's on the fast-track to [[CelebrityIsOverrated disillusionment]].
* InherentlyFunnyWords: Most people find Rad saying "Blorp!" hilarious, no matter what's actually happening. Since it's apparently just a regular interjection on Planet X, Rad doesn't get why anyone cares, and wishes people would appreciate the work he puts into his jokes. The line itself is played ad nauseum in the background of several scenes just to take out any possible amusement for the audience.
* InstantWebHit: Rad's video makes him a celebrity overnight.
* QuestioningTitle: The title ends with a question mark because the fans of Rad's video
