Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 35–On information and desire
I was torn between two different kinds of jokes for this one: just a joke about the idea of personifying information, or mixing it up with a joke about the unlikeliness of what information “desires.” I decided to mix it up and have two punchlines, starting with a really mundane request and then following that with the joke about the unlikeliness. I picked the pony as the ultimate symbol of the impossible desire. I think this is probably cribbed from The Simpsons, but I’m sure it’s been used other places as well. This is one of only a few times that I will go for a double punchline; usually the brevity I work with doesn’t allow it.
