Homer, go back to the garage.

But I'm mystified by the secret point. Whatever the secret point is, it's the only thing I've ever wanted.

Super Metroid - SNES

More rest periods! I do love stop-motion dinosaurs though.

In the den? May god have mercy on us all.

All the warthogs at the party are very ugly and have warts, including the handsome one. There's nothing really to distinguish the handsome one except he's got the cool eyes thing going on and he's smoking. So you can interpret the joke a couple of ways: a) it's silly Larson anthropomorphism where humans like us reading the cartoon don't get what attributes animals would find attractive or b) every animal thinks cool eyes and smoking is cool, which probably circles back to being a commentary about those things not being terribly cool at all. Or a hundred other meanings I haven't gotten.

Edit: I don't think it's a specific reference, more just the 70s/80s "movie cool" character would look like that but not be a warthog

It’s bothering me how the cord is coming out of the second tone knob and the jack is just sitting there lonely and empty.

Metroid Prime

I wouldn’t want to be mauled by a fearsome gonad either.

I liked it too, great art style. Although since I'm already nitpicking: a morning star on a chain seems like the least practical underwater weapon imaginable.

In Le Morte d'Arthur we learn that the scabbard is actually more valuable than Excalibur itself because any wounds received by the bearer wold never bleed. In the final panel of the comic there is a large pool of blood forming, presumably by the lady of the lake's death (or maybe her hand being bitten off). There shouldn't be blood.

Except that the scabbard makes the wearer immune to blood loss.

Good metaphor, particularly for Cause and Effect, but that episode doesn’t qualify because every loop iteration actually happened.
