Recap / Citation Needed S 1 E 8 The Flag Of Mars And Rods From God

Go To

The gang discuss the flag of Mars and various types of confectionery-based destruction.

Article of discussion: Flag of Mars


Tropes:

  • Edible Ammunition: Starting with riffing off the flag of Mars, most of the episode deals with various forms of this, for example whether a kinetic orbital strike (AKA Rods from God) would work just as well with a Mars bar.
  • Instant-Win Condition: In a particularly blatant example of The Points Mean Nothing, towards the end of the episode Tom immediately awards Gary the victory (and MYSTERY BISCUITS) for a particularly good pun. Nobody minds, though.
    Matt: Tom, he wins!
