He is defeated by a man named Rebel, who writes a song that convinces the people to rise up and defeat General Insanity. At the end the metaphor becomes literal when Rebel ''rolls a rock'' to defeat the General's forces. Bob lampshades how unsubtle it is, but because of RuleOfCool he and Gene don't really care.
