Article of conversation Jimmy Carter rabbit incident
.
Tropes:
- Actually Pretty Funny: As Gary and Tom note, the incident is just really funny, regardless of circumstance, which is why the Press Secretary told a reporter about it, and that's how everyone else knew about it.
- Conspiracy Kitchen Sink: When Tom asks how the staff reacted to the incident, Matt mentions they're mute, and Chris and Gary joke that Carters' staff were all Rabbits, and weave an intricate conspiracy plot that they're trying to take over the lizard government of the world, and claim it was an "Inside Job".
- False Flag Operation: In another tirade on rabbit conspiracies, Gary claims that having video footage of the incident is "convenient" and declares it a "false flag" for what really happened.Gary: "False flag, people! False flag!"Chris: "There was a second rabbit behind the grassy knoll!"
- Strange Minds Think Alike: Both Matt and Tom say "Teletubbies" in response to Gary proposing another rabbit conspiracy theory.Gary: "...and what lives in a hill?"Matt and Tom: "Teletubbies!"Gary: "Yeah, Teletubbies killed Kennedy, that's where I was going with this."
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: As Tom notes, if there was UFO information and a president came in seeking to reveal it, you probably wouldn't say such documents exist.
- Tinfoil Hat: Gary mimes putting on one of these several times in the episode, usually when spouting another conspiracy theory relating to rabbits.
