** The sombre nature of the scene especially settles in when you consider that Fender, of all characters, is the one to announce the news to everyone, and throughout it all he is ''completely 100% serious'', with no trace of any of his characteristic [[LargeHam hamminess]] or [[DeadpanSnarker snarkiness]]. He very clearly knows how dire things have become, and is feeling the same worry and concern that Rodney is feeling. He may be the silly, wacky and over-the-top comic relief of the film, but even he knows when to slow down and be supportive of his friends by sharing worries with them.

** What makes this even sadder is the fact that Bigweld is essentially telling Rodney to let his father die. Rodney wants to find Bigweld to help bring back spare parts even before Herb's illness comes in, which only encourages him to do it faster. But once he finds Bigweld, the latter just tells him to give up and go home. If Rodney had done so, that would mean letting Herb (and many others like him) turn into outmodes and inevitably die.
