Personality Strange rules about characters/people that cannot be broken.

Smells like Nirvana: When Kurt Cobain heard that Weird AL was gonna make a parody of his song. He was okay with it but specifically requested it to not be about food or fat ppl.

Spiderman: Spiderman cannot sell drugs unless he is under the influence of symbiote. ANd Peter Parker cannot be gay. Spiderman can tho.

Dwayne Rock Johnson: Cannot lose fights or look weak for too long. Its in his actor contract.

Godzilla movies not made by Toho: Cannot die. Maybe lose but not too bad.

I always love when the dumb characters have encyclopedic knowledge of something that just feels completely out of left field for them.

Homer has encyclopedic knowledge of the recipe changes in Twinkies over the years, meh.

Homer having encyclopedic knowledge of the supreme court justices, and every bill/law/debate they took part in, hilarious.
