Dan Quayle and Lloyd Bentson
Was there a reference when Ape was talking to Urusla's mom?
The whole, you're no Jane Goodall bit.
"Will you go penguin sledding with me?"
"PENGUIN!!!!!"
Yes!! I almost burst a gut laughing!! I remembered watching that 1988 VP debate between Dan Quayle and Lloyd Bentson. Quayle said he had as much experience as John F. Kennedy had had when he ran. Lloyd Bentson retorted: "I knew John F. Kennedy. I worked with John F. Kennedy. You're no John F. Kennedy!" Then hearing Ape say the line to Ursula's mom--classic!!
Too bad that anybody who doesn't know the "backstory" will miss the joke there.
