* '''Parodied''': The professor of Talking Animal Attacks 101 [[BunnyEarsLawyer is a complete and total loony]], suggesting the use of duct tape engineering to defeat talking mongooses. His methods, and ''only'' his methods, work.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob is using the knowledge he learned earlier in class to defeat the talking mongoose. The teacher shows up and tells Bob he is doing it all wrong; he actually was day dreaming in class and thought up a completely different way to defeat the monster which wouldn't work. Fortunately, he's not fighting a real talking mongoose, but rather an evil alien disguised as one, and his day dream was actually a vision granted by a good alien on how to defeat his current foe. Will Bob make the right decision and trust his day dream over the teachers word?
