Popularity rank 1 #70. Clone Gameroom

November 10, 2005

DR. CARY: Here they are, clones of every band with a Billboard Top 10 hit between 1983 and 1985.
JOEL: Wow....

DR. CARY: There's the clone of Bananarama, the clone of Wham!, the clone of Wang Chung.
JOEL: Ooo, and a clone of Roland Gift of Fine Young Cannibals!

DR. CARY: No, no, that actually is Roland. He's Todd's friend and he needed a place to crash for a month.
JOEL: Oh.
ROLAND GIFT: Hey.

ROLAND GIFT: Good thing! Doo doo doo doo doo, good thing!
DR. CARY: Roland! No! What'd I tell you about busking in here! Just ignore him, I'm sorry....

Popularity rank 2 #68. Cloning is not instantaneous

November 8, 2005

DR. CARY: Hancock Records wants GeniTECH to do what exactly?
JOEL: Well, my boss, he... this'll sound silly, he wants to make clones of current popular bands.

DR. CARY: Ha ha, well, Mr. Dever, I appreciate your boss's ambition, but human cloning is a new science, and for starters, it's not instantaneous.

DR. CARY: Even if I were to make a clone today, it wouldn't be a mature adult for 18 years. We simply don't have the capability to do what you're describing.

JOEL: Of course, sorry to waste your time, I--
DR. CARY: What we do have are fully grown clones of every popular band from 1983 to 1985. Come, I'll show you....

January 4, 2010

BART: Joel, do we own El De Barge?
JOEL: I'll look him up, sir, but just to pick a nit, we don't actually OWN any of our artists.

JOEL: We own their MUSIC, their RECORDINGS, but we don't-

JOEL: Well, now, I apologize.

JOEL: It seems we do, in fact, OWN El De Barge.
BART: Wonderful! I need him to do "Who's Johnny" tomorrow on a boat in Dover…

MUSIC: JUMP!

JOEL: Playing one last Mega-Tuned song for good measure, sir?
BART: Oh, no no...
