One of my favorite segments.
I’d say that joke sounded a bit fishy, but.. mammals, y’know?
“You’re Orca” does not sound enough like “Eureka!” for it to be an effective pun.
Thinking about it, that was the joke. This is getting a bit meta and I’ll stop writing.
Just a reminder that Ian Morgan writes Popsicle Schtick. So you know You’re Orca! is in his wheelhouse.
Well, thanks for explanation. For my non-American ears it was a hard one.
Um, actually, it’s Orcinus Orca.
I love those segments since I often times don’t understand the joke because I’m not a native speaker.
The explanation was funnier than the joke.
