Things we've learnt:

* [[StrawmanNewsMedia Television news programs are nothing but propaganda and trashy celebrity gossip]]. Except for [[Series/TheDailyShow comedian commentators]] [[Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver who are never afraid to tell it like it is]].

* [[WesternAnimation/{{Pecola}} All the world is square!]]

** Inversely, any American ladies with Red Hair become [[HeroesWantRedheads Miss Americas or Hollywood Eye Candy]].

** [[[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]] Conflicting evidence:]] you can say whatever you like about anything, as loudly as you like, in an otherwise totally silent room, and no-one will care in the slightest.

* Promises made to small children are more obliging than any known form of contract law.

* [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs All video game designers and comic book creators are insane]].

* [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Don't talk to strangers or you could end up married to your long-lost half-sibling and almost bring on the end of the world.]]

* Men and women can never [[PlatonicLifePartners just be friends without falling in love]]. [[LoveAtFirstSight True love always happens on first sight]]. If the characters hate each other, it is written in the stars that they'll love each other in the end.

* [[DeathBySex Sex will kill you]] and there is [[ButWeUsedACondom no such thing as effective contraception]]. [[DoubleStandard Guys still need to have sex]], but [[MyGirlIsNotASlut the girls they do it with are filthy sluts]].

* A {{Nerd}} can't be good at sports.

** And [[IdenticalLookingAsians look alike.]]

* All men are unfulfilled unless they are drinking the right beer, have [[BiggerIsBetterInBed huge penises]], and have hair that both exists and is not grey. Unless they are Scottish or [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent British pretending to be French]]. Then, [[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave having grey hair or being bald just makes them sexier]].

* When driving through any city with famous landmarks like [[LondonTown London]] or [[GayParee Paris]], you ''will'' pass them all and not necessarily in a logical order. Also, if walking through a city, you won't necessarily go from one road to another connected to it, or even one anywhere near it.
