4	The Cartoon Physicist, aka Lauren Fox, is a media {{review}}er hailing from UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}. Her main show, ''The Cartoon Physicist's Noughtie List'', covers television and movies created from 2000 to 2009, aka the bulk of her childhood. One could say it's a [[WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic ''critique'' of her ''nostalgia'']]. The series is currently posted to Website/ManicExpression, Website/RTGomerProductions, [[http://leagueswordfish.blogspot.com.au League Swordfish]], Website/TeamNightSaturn, [[http://reviewersunite.com The Reviewers Unite]], [[http://thezerolevel.com Channel Zero]], her [[https://thecartoonphysicist.wordpress.com website]], and of course her [[https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC7QsQEWraK7hTLCzANYFsVg?/ youtube channel]]
5
6	Her videos also contain a recurring but unobtrusive storyline with references made to her [[{{Backstory}} previous in-universe exploits]]. [[ExpandedUniverse Further information]] can be found on her [[http://thecartoonphysicist.tumblr.com/ blog]].

8	Lauren herself also runs a {{Podcast}} with her friends called ''Schlock & Terror: A Retrospective of VideoNasties''.
9	----
10	!! The Cartoon Physicist contains examples of:
11	* AccentuateTheNegative: Definitely when it comes to bad films and TV shows. Although she does try to find one good thing in a bad show or movie to talk about, even if small.
12	%%* ActionGirl
13	* AdaptationDecay: Physicist much prefers the original Disney ''Chicken Little'' short from 1943 as opposed to [[WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle the 2005 animated feature]].
14	** She utterly despises the [[Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy2005 movie adaptation]] of ''[[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]''.
15	* AffectionateNickname: Physicist calls Nyarlathotep "Gnarly".
16	** Most people, including Nyarlathotep, have called her "Phys" (Pronounced as "Fizz").
17	* AllergicToRoutine: She started doing a review show because she was worried that her daily adventures would end up becoming a ''boring routine''
18	* AllThereInTheManual: Information from the mostly-in-character Website/{{Tumblr}} blog reveals more of the backstory for the character of the Cartoon Physicist, including [[http://thecartoonphysicist.tumblr.com/post/119994960346/what-made-you-want-to-get-into-internet-reviews why she decided to start doing video reviews]].
19	%%* AlterEgoActing
20	* AncientEgypt:
21	** Physicist wears a golden amulet that looks like it came from ancient Egypt.
22	** Nyarlathotep wears a gold Egyptian-looking mask.
23	* AngelsDevilsAndSquid: She stole Gabriel's Horn from Angels, Hell is the location of Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany HQ, and [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Lovecraftian Outers Gods like Nyarlathotep]] exist in the show.
24	* AntiMagic: The mallet is this. Sort of. It doesn't nullify Physicist's powers, it nullifies ''other power sources'' like magic or The Force to keep her from obtaining and using them since it's "jealous" of them.
25	* AntiRoleModel: Not this way to force any Aesops down any throats, just merely part of her character. But it's obvious that this Chaotic Neutral thief is not meant to be imitated.
26	* AnvilOnHead: Ted Turner briefly mentioned how Physicist used to drop anvils on him, and so he brought a high tech umbrella to protect him from any more anvils. It didn't protect him from the piano though.
27	* ArtEvolution: By 2016, she finally has an up-to-date [[Platform/HighDefinition HD]] video camera. The in-universe reason for the sudden change of quality is that Cambot got an upgrade for the revival of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
28	* ArtifactOfDoom:
29	** Physicist owns the Shining Trapezohedron, which can summon Nyarlathotep.
30	** Hestia mentions that Physicist also owns PandorasBox.
31	** Physicist herself mentions that she owns the {{Necronomicon}}.
32	** Physicist was stuck with the [[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Lament Configuration]], which appeared on her doorstep at the beginning of her first Halloween review of 2016. Until she sent it to WebVideo/CrashThompson.
33	* AscendedFangirl: Like most reviewers, she was a fan of a lot of reviewers before deciding to do a review show herself.
34	* AuthorAppeal: Physicist has to be stopped from making too many ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' references.
35	%%* AwesomeAussie
36	* BaitAndSwitch: In her review of ''Series/{{The Tick\|2001}}'', she starts off the review by saying she is going to review the animated version, before Hestia informs her that the [[WesternAnimation/TheTick animated version]] aired in the 90's and not the 2000's so she's going to have to review the 2001 live action version.
37	%%* BenevolentAI: Hestia.
38	* BigBrotherIsWatching:
39	--> '''The Cyberspace Trinity''': We...are...always...watching.
40	* BlobMonster: Mr Whipplesworth, though he's smaller than the average shoggoth and therefore quite harmless.
41	%%* BrainyBrunette
42	%%* BritishStuffiness: Physicist's AI, Hestia.
43	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Sort of. She used her very own 'Of Course!' clip in her ''WesternAnimation/DinoSquad'' review, with Bane from The Dark Knight Rises saying it. Plus, in the beginning of another review, she almost said the Nostalgia Critic's most well-known catchphrase.
44	--> '''Physicist''': Sup everyone, I'm the Cartoon Physicist and this is the Noughtie List. And I remember it so you don't--sorry, I mean...Taking apart the good, the bad, and the forgotten of the New Millennium.
45	* BlackSpeech: Used to summon Nyarlathotep.
46	%%* BuffySpeak: Occasionally when summarising or ranting.
47	* ButNowIMustGo: She tended to do this before she decided to settle down.
48	* TheCameo:
49	** "Silent Bob" appears briefly in the ''Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'' review, explaining how the duo got off with a restraining order despite being in possession of drugs.
50	** Physicist herself makes a cameo in WebVideo/TheReviewReviewer's review of Nostalgia Critic's Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare. But she doesn't just make an appearance, she ends up setting off a [[spoiler: shakri cube in Reviewer's house which ends up stopping his heart.]]
51	** "H.P. Lovecraft" from ''WebVideo/AskLovecraft'' has a brief cameo in Physicist's review of ''Film/{{Dagon}}''.

60	** [[Creator/CountJackula Jack Shen]] appears in Physicist's review of ''Film/HellraiserDeader'' as movie executive Bahlz Blitzer, and WebVideo/DiamandaHagan has a cameo in the same review to explain why her trains are worse than the ones depicted in the film...specifically because Haganistan's train tracks were constructed out of erected dicks.
61	** WebVideo/CrashThompson appears at the end of Physicist's review of ''Film/HellraiserHellworld''. He receives a package from her with the Lament Configuration inside...and thus gets tortured by the Cenobites, specifically with one of Music/{{Nickelback}}'s infamous songs.
62	** Her very late second anniversary includes [[WebVideo/TheReviewReviewer Review Reviewer and Mr It]], [=SurferClock=], Patrick Stergos, Rob of Cartoon Clipshow, {{Creator/Mattwo}}, [[{{WebVideo/Cinemastrophe}} Dom Perignon]], Doctor Terawatt, Magnetrex, Xandrew, Detective Steve, [[Website/ManicExpression James Walsh]], WebVideo/TheHappySpaceman, Timmer, The Writer Sits in the Back, Grim of Grin and Grim, Whyboy, JD [=DeMotte=], [[WebVideo/TheCartoonHero the Cartoon Hero]], David Green (formerly DJ Soundbite), WebVideo/CrashThompson, Deadwest and Billy of Screaming Soup, [[WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera Some Jerk with a Camera]], Artie (the crazy parody of a studio executive that constantly appears on review shows) played by Nicholas Bogroff Ganssle, [[WebVideo/TheIsleOfRangoon Sunny Jim]], Creator/MrMendo, [=QuilSniv=], Zenithwillrule, and WebVideo/DiamandaHagan.
63	%%* TheComicallySerious: Hestia.
64	* CaptionHumour:
65	** Cambot shows his mischevious side with this in Physicist's review of Special Unit 2.
66	** Most of the time now, they've been written by Phys.
67	* CasualTimeTravel: Physicist warps back 1920's Chicago without a second thought...to do a homework assignment.
68	* CatchPhrase:
69	--> 'Sup everyone, I'm the Cartoon Physicist and this is the Noughtie List. Taking apart the good, the bad, and the forgotten of the New Millennium.
70	* CausticCritic: Exaggerated whenever she's reviewing a film or a series she does consider to be bad. Inverted whenever she reviews a film or a series that she likes or thinks is just okay.
71	%%* CharacterTitle
72	* ChristmasSpecial: On Christmas in 2015, she reviewed the very Christmasy movie adaptation of Hogfather.
73	* ChristmasInJuly: Might as well be the case in Australia.
74	--> '''Physicist:''' Why am I drinking cocoa? It's bloody [[UsefulNotes/ChristmasInAustralia Summer.]]
75	* CirclingBirdies: Ted Turner had some after his head was hit by the mallet.
76	* CollectorOfTheStrange: It's more than likely she ''hasn't'' returned every super powered thing she stole, keeping them all as a collection.
77	* CombatPragmatist: She is willing to use her mallet or an anvil to end a fight quickly regardless of her enemies' preferred weapons or fighting style.
78	%%* ConspicuousGloves
79	* ConstructiveCriticism: She does try to find something good about a film or show even if the film/show in question is bad, and occasionally she talks about what could be done to improve it.
80	* {{Crossover}}:
81	** Physicist reviews Hellboy with Toby Mobias, from the [=MSTieCast=].
82	** Physicist reviews The Call of Cthulhu with [[Creator/LadyJess Lady Jess, from Fool's Gold.]]

88	** For her three-part second anniversary, she reviewed ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy2005'' with [[WebVideo/TheLiteraryLair Michael Gleason]], Jane Grey, Grumpy Old Manchild, and Toby Mobias.
89	* CreepyCute: [[MakesSenseInContext Hestia's pet shoggoth, Mr Whipplesworth,]] is a blob with [[ExtraEyes multiple eye stalks and one big unblinking eye]]. But on the other hand, he's small and cries like a baby and a puppy.
90	* CuteMachines: Cambot.
91	* DamnedByFaintPraise: At least Physicist does try to give one compliment towards a horrendous film or show in order to be fair.
92	%%* DeadpanSnarker
93	* DimensionalTraveler: Thanks to her portable holes.
94	* EasterEgg: In each of her three 2015 Halloween reviews, there is at least one or two [[Film/InTheMouthOfMadness Sutter Cane novels.]]
95	* ElementalPowers: Ted Turner when he's Captain Planet.
96	* EmpathicWeapon: Harpo the mallet seems to be this since Physicist mentioned it gets 'jealous' in a way of other power sources and powerful items, thus she literally can't use them.
97	* EpisodeTitleCard: Every episode has one, most done by [[http://frillythingy.deviantart.com/gallery/ Madeline Long or "frillythingy".]]
98	** The title card of her review of ''Series/BetterOffTed'' was drawn by [[https://twitter.com/beeseverywhere Remi P]].
99	** The title card of the Top 11 list concerning Creator/KevinSmith's TV reboot of ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension'' was drawn by [[https://twitter.com/rachel0w0miller Rachel Miller]], since Lauren wanted the art style to match the popular art style of the film's [[TheEighties time period]]. This prompted her to hire Miller to draw the late title card for her review of ''Hellraiser: Deader''.
100	** The second anniversary's cameo-packed title card was drawn by [[WebVideo/FamiliarFaces Chad Rocco]] in the style of Creator/SergioAragones.
101	%%* EpisodeZeroTheBeginning: Physicist's introduction episode.
102	%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Physicist
103	* EvilSoundsDeep: The Cyberspace Trinity aren't exactly evil, but they are ominous enough to have deep voices.
104	** Although technically not evil, Nyarlathotep has a deep otherworldly voice.
105	* ExperiencedProtagonist: Physicist has had outlandish adventures [[MidReviewSketchShow before she started her own review show.]]
106	%%* FantasyKitchenSink

108	* FireAndBrimstoneHell: Where Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany Headquarters is, formerly Pandæmonium.
109	* FollowTheLeader: ''WesternAnimation/DinoSquad''. Hmmm... [[RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude teenagers with attitude]] fighting an ancient evil teaming up with another ancient being and being gifted powers related to Dinosaurs? [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers What does that remind you of?]]
110	* FormerTeenRebel: Her morally ambiguous adventuring days have all occurred while she was a teenager and she decided to semi-retire once she turned 18, however she has retained her anarchic nature.

112	%%* TheGadfly
113	* GadgeteerGenius: She made Hestia ''out of stolen parts'', and created a time machine ''the size of her hand''.

115	** All of the breasts within the film of Physicist's first Halloween review were covered with pumpkins.
116	** In her review of Fanboys, she censored Zoe's bare ass with the forest moon of Endor.

121	* GodInHumanForm: Nyarlathotep appears to Physicist as an [[SharpDressedMan impeccably dressed]] [[CoolMask masked]] man.P
122	* GogglesDoNothing: Physicist wears them on her hat, and briefly dons them as proper eyewear [[ItMakesSenseInContext during the Ted Turner fight]].
123	* GoshDangItToHeck!: Ted Turner does this, likely thinking that swearing will [[ThinkOfTheChildren corrupt children]].
124	* {{Greed}}: Yep. Her collection will never be complete to her.
125	* HammerSpace: Physicist has one behind her back. It allows her to pull out various objects, like her mallet.
126	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Cambot, though he does appear on every title card.
127	* HalloweenSpecial: Three in 2015. Each one was a review of a movie adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's stories.
128	** She reviewed the four Direct-To-DVD ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' movies made in the 2000s for Halloween in 2016...despite the fact that the last two movies were reviewed in December, and January of 2017.
129	** In 2017, she reviewed the comeback films of recently deceased horror directors. Kind of. Due to a schedule slip, she only managed the first one out in November and she's apparently going to release the next two in February of 2018 because multiple events and things got in the way.
130	* HilariousOuttakes: She released a blooper reel of outtakes from 2015 as soon as 2016 started.
131	* HumanoidAbomination: Nyarlathotep appeared humanoid to Physicist.
132	* HumongousHeadedHammer: Her giant mallet, which she calls Harpo, is used as both a weapon and a comedic prop.
133	* ICallItVera: She calls her giant mallet Harpo, after the only Marx Brother who uses a mallet.
134	* ImpossibleThief: She stole ''the Helm of Nabu, PandorasBox, Gabriel's Horn, the [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Necro]][[Franchise/EvilDead nomicon]], the Shining Trapezohedron, and the Infinity Gauntlet!''
135	* InAndOutOfCharacter: Whenever she's on live streams, riffs, podcasts, and such, she's out of character. In her reviews, crossovers, and cameos, she stays in character.
136	* InSeriesNickname: "Physicist" of course, or just "Phys".
137	* InUniverseCamera: Cambot, now working for the Cartoon Physicist.
138	* ItIsDehumanizing: Physicist first referred to Mr Whipplesworth as an "it" because shoggoths don't have any genitalia, but goes along with calling Mr Whipplesworth a "him" for Hestia.
139	* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: The Cyberspace Trinity have directly called themselves this.
140	* KleptomaniacHero: Technically not a hero, but is a kleptomaniac.

143	* LetsPlay: Lauren did one between regular Noughtie List episodes on ''The Lost Cases Of Sherlock Holmes''.
144	* LimitedWardrobe: Wears the same outfit in every episode. She does change her shirt, but it's usually a white shirt.
145	* LittleMissBadass: Although 18 at the time and (still) 5 foot 3, she managed to beat Captain Planet/Ted Turner. Granted she defeated him with a [[PianoDrop falling piano]], but still.
146	* MeaningfulName: While the "Physicist" part of her name refers to her [[http://thecartoonphysicist.tumblr.com/post/128561155181/so-just-wondering-are-you-a-timelord-or being a scientist]], her entire title could be a reference to her cartoon physics related powers.
147	** She explains in her second anniversary review that she's a theoretical physicist in the field of cartoon physics. Technically. Nowadays because of her criminal record, she independently breeds and sells babel fish to earn money.
148	* MetalHead: Definitely a fan of Music/IronMaiden.
149	-->'''Physicist:''' Ah, [[Music/BruceDickinson Bruce]], you have the voice of an angel...riding a nuclear powered harley in the middle of a battle between [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg dragons and samurai dinosaurs]]...on Jupiter.
150	* MediaWatchdog: Ted Turner is one. He even makes a speech about what's 'morally wrong' with cartoons today.
151	%%* TheMovieBuff
152	* MultiPartEpisode: Some of the reviews are separated into two parts. The second anniversary was the first review separated into three.
153	* MysteriousPast: Physicist seems to be one of the few reviewers with a backstory, and yet there have only been brief disclosures of her past throughout her show. Generally, her viewers just know that she used to travel the multiverse to steal things.
154	* NamesGivenToComputers: Hestia, named after the Greek goddess of homes. [[SmartHouse Get it?]]
155	* TheNapoleon: Just 5'3, but can get pretty furious at a particularly bad movie or show.
156	* NonHumanSidekick:
157	** Hestia, Physicist's A.I.
158	** Cambot, who works as Physicist's camera and appears in all of the title cards as a sidekick.
159	** Mr Whipplesworth, a shoggoth that Physicist doesn't want as a sidekick.
160	* NoEqualOpportunityTimeTravel:
161	--> '''Physicist''': When time travelling used to be a frequent thing for me, I preferred going to the future instead of the past because...oh, boy...the past was sexist as hell. Don't get me wrong, we unfortunately still have sexism today. But sexism in the past was practically magnified and I was expected to go along with it. I'll take the future over that any day.
162	* OffscreenTeleportation: When Ted Turner attempted to confront her, she was on a balcony. Then, in the middle of his speech, she walked up to him from behind even though Turner was certain he was looking at her the whole time.
163	* OlderThanTheyLook: Currently she's 21, but her babyface and height make her look like a middle adolescent.
164	* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Cyberspace Trinity, with [[MatrixRainingCode green raining code]] in their faces' place. Although they did interact with Physicist, so their 'vagueness' is in question.
165	* OnlineAlias: Although she likely used her title before she became a reviewer, she currently uses it as an online alias/reviewer name.
166	%%* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
167	* OrphanedSeries: [[https://twitter.com/NoughtieList/status/1173101073034334208 If this tweet and the show not having released a new episode since 2017 is anything to go.]]
168	%%* PetMonstrosity: Mr Whipplesworth, Hestia's pet shoggoth.
169	%%* PhantomThief
170	%%* PopCulturedBadass
171	* PortableHole: One of Physicist's powers is the capability to pull out portable holes from her hammerspace. Her portable holes can also act as small portals, [[http://thecartoonphysicist.tumblr.com/post/119994960346/what-made-you-want-to-get-into-internet-reviews allowing her to travel to any county, planet, alternate universe, or dimension.]]
172	* PowerSource: Physicist mentioned that the mallet is the source of her powers when she referred to magic and such as "other power sources".
173	* PromotedFanboy: Now part of Website/RTGomerProductions and Channel Zero, which includes some of her favourite reviewers and riffers.
174	%%* RayGun: Physicist mentions she has one.
175	* RealSongThemeTune: "Year 2000" by German punk band Music/DieTotenHosen.
176	%%* RebelliousSpirit
177	* RetiredOutlaw: After a life of adventuring (and stealing) throughout the multiverse, [[http://thecartoonphysicist.tumblr.com/post/119994960346/what-made-you-want-to-get-into-internet-reviews Physicist decided to start a review show in order to settle down.]]
178	* RightHandAttackDog: Physicist thought her two guard dogs were going attack the Cyberspace Trinity once they broke into her home, [[GilliganCut but then we see her two dogs sleeping in bean bags with an instrumental lullaby playing in the background.]]
179	* RimShot: Done whenever she uses a bad joke or pun that she knows is bad.
180	%%* RobotBuddy: Cambot, although he can be quite mischievous.
181	* RuleOfCute: There's a reason why she included footage of her dogs in some of her reviews.
182	* RobotGirl: The AI, Hestia, who is a snarky type, not above talking back to Physicist.
183	* RunningGag: The constant ''shut up, shut up, shut up'' in the ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' review.
184	* SantasExistenceClause: Well, the Hogfather is real.
185	* ScheduleSlip: Physicist admitted 2017 was one big schedule slip.
186	* SecretPolice: The Cyberspace Trinity are this to the internet.
187	* SeenItAll: Pretty much the case since she's travelled the Reviewaverse and beyond.
188	* SharedUniverse: Likely the Reviewaverse considering [[Website/ChannelAwesome who]] cameoed in her videos.
189	* {{Shapeshifting}}: Nyarlathotep has said that [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm he has many complex forms]].
190	* ShoutOut: A lot of them actually. Usually in the form of in-universe elements, title cards, and references.
191	* SlaveRace: Physicist has said that shoggoths like Mr Whipplesworth were created by the Elder Things to be slaves.
192	%%* SmartHouse: Hestia.
193	%%* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: If A.I.s count as robots.
194	%%* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Hestia.
195	%%* SpeaksInShoutOuts
196	* SpecialEffectsFailure: Due to problems with her video editor not wanting to resize clips vertically, the fight scene in the first review is marred by chromakey problems.
197	* {{Squee}}: Triggered by [[CutenessProximity her soft spot for Winnie the Pooh.]]
198	%%* StarfishAliens: Technically what Mr Whipplesworth is.
199	* StickyFingers: It's implied that Physicist [[http://thecartoonphysicist.tumblr.com/post/119994960346/what-made-you-want-to-get-into-internet-reviews used her powers to steal for fun]]. Which includes stealing the Helm of Nabu and the Infinity Gauntlet. Apparently, she still does every now and then, including stealing fellow reviewer Jane Grey's magic tomes.
200	* SummoningRitual: Physicist had to utter an incantation while holding the Shining Trapezohedron to summon Nyarlathotep.
201	* SurveillanceDrone: Physicist seems to have procured herself the one and only [[Creator/{{Syfy}} Sci-Fi Channel]]-era Cambot from Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 as her cameraperson!
202	* TalkingWithSigns: Physicist mocked Ted Turner literally behind his back with a sign that includes a picture of a [[VisualPun donkey and a hole]].
203	* TheUnintelligible: Cambot can now speak...with high pitch robotic beeps that sound [[Franchise/StarWars awfully familiar.]] And Mr Whipplesworth can only say "tekeli-li".
204	%%* TerribleTrio: The Cyberspace Trinity.
205	* TheTrickster: She tricked Ted Turner to fight himself in a BigBallOfViolence by simply walking out of the ball of smoke. [[PassThePopcorn Before calmly setting up a chair and sitting down to watch him and eat chips.]]
206	* ToonPhysics: Her powers seem to revolve around the laws of cartoon physics.
207	* TomesOfEldritchLore: Hestia mentions that Physicist has an entire bookcase of tomes and grimoires.
208	* {{Troll}}: Grendel, one of the members of the Cyberspace Trinity, is the Guardian of Trolls and leading general of many {{Flame War}}s.
209	* TurnOfTheMillennium: All of the fodder for review comes from that decade, for better or worse.
210	* VanityPlate: To credit every website she's on or affiliated with.
211	%%* VideoReviewShow: Well, duh.
212	* VillainTeleportation:
213	** The ominous Cyberspace Trinity teleported in Physicist's house by making reality glitch.
214	** The dark Outer God Nyarlathotep teleports in via [[ShadowWalker shadowy smoke]].
215	* WalkingTheEarth: She essentially walked [[TheMultiverse the multiverse]] and such before settling down and starting her own review show.
216	* WelcomeEpisode: The series has an hour long introduction/top five list (officially 'Episode Zero') before the first episode proper, being the review of ''WesternAnimation/DinoSquad''.

218	%%* WeirdnessMagnet
219	* WhiteGloves: Worn as part of her regular costume as an homage to classic animation. She is the ''Cartoon'' Physicist, after all!

221	* WorldOfWeirdness: The show is set in the Reviewaverse...everything, in both Physicist's past and present, is weird.
222	* WrongGenreSavvy: Ted Turner has an umbrella that protects him from falling anvils. [[spoiler: Too bad it doesn't do the same thing for pianos.]]
