Tom and the rest of TechDif talk about the life of Sidney Abram Weltmer
Article of conversation Sidney Abram Weltmer
.
Tropes:
- Groin Attack: Tom asks what the Postmaster General did to Weltmer. Gary guesses "punched him in the nuts". This leads to a series of jokes about the mail service delivering a nut kick.
- I Take Offense to That Last One: After learning that Reverend M. Bishop called Weltmer a "miserable charlatan", Gary quips that he was offended by the "miserable" part.Chris: (as Weltmer) I throw the very best of parties. I just don't understand!
Gary: (also as Weltmer) I'm not having 'miserable'! - Just Plane Wrong: Gary states that you can't have a powered glider. While a motor glider may sound like an oxymoron, they do exist.
- Meaningful Name: The gang are amused by there being a reverend named Bishop.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Gary responds to the first question with thinking the name itself would lend itself to being an engineer some kind, and threatens to go off stage if Sidney isn't one. When Tom says he's not, he briefly exits the stage and comes back moments later.
- We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties: A gag about Derek Akorah was "removed for legal reasons" and a three-step sine-tone with a blank screen took the joke's place, and Gary admitted it should be Censored for Comedy for the episode. As Tom notes, the reason they did that was because of Libel law.
