What's a manatee ball pit situation?

[–] OneMansTrash@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's an episode of South Park where they go to the writing offices of Family Guy for whatever reason, and instead of actual writers, they have an aquarium tank full of manatees and plastic balls with words on them.

The manatees would bring the balls to the top of the tank, few at a time, and the staff would use the words on the balls as prompts for their new jokes/episodes.

The manatees had integrity, if you took a ball out they’d stop making jokes.

The hallmark writers don’t give a shit.
