The Gary Brannan Sound Effects Special
The crew discuss American mechanical engineer Thomas Midgley Jr.
Article of Conversation: Thomas Midgley Jr.
Tropes:
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: This episode is a prime example of the crew's tendency to getting distracted if it's interesting enough.Tom: We are now three diversions deep, but keep going!
- Running Gag: Gary making sound effects for various situations in the show, such as doing the 60's batman bumper transition talking about the Popemobile, and makes a very impressive alarm noise when Chris reaches "coffee saturation".
- Wiki Walk: Tom asks a question about Thomas Midgley Jr. inventing something regarding how vehicles are powered. Matt's joke answer of "nuclear-powered cars" rapidly devolved into a series of tangents involving The Big Bus, Supertrain, The Love Boat, and TUGS.
