==Analysis of Speech==
 
-
 
-
Due to the crackly audio quality of the Drive Thru Whale, many of its phrasings seem odd. However, it seems that many of its phrasings may be somewhat logical.
 
-
 
-
*'''Would you like to try a combo meal?-''' Most fast food places sell combo meals, so this is logical.
 
-
*'''Sever your leg, please, it's the greatest day'''.- This is later revealed to be legitimate, as the Europa-pean lobster removed its leg and the whale ate it. The variant "$9.17. Sever your leg, please, sir." has a price mentioned, which is relevant.
 
-
*'''Pour gravel on your stump, mam.-''' Purely nonsensical. However, it was said in the nonsensical world of [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], so this is explainable.
 
-
*'''Cave your brown.-''' Once again, nonsensical. However, it was also said in Sweet Puttin' Cakes, which could explain it.
 
-
*'''Relinquish your pipes, please fellas.-''' Merely parodying its seemingly nonsensical phrasings.
 
-
*'''Register does not contain more than fifty doctors-''' Could be referencing the anti-burglary tactic of displaying a sign that reads "Register does not contain more than fifty ''dollars''."
 
-
*'''You're living a lie, would you like cash back?'''- the first part seems odd, but the second part is relevant.
 
-
*'''Slice your fingers thin.''' (implied)- It could perhaps be referencing slicing ''chicken'' fingers thin. As [[Bubs]] has no visible fingers, this seems logical.

The Drive-Thru Whale, or the Blubb-O Whale, is a smiling blue whale-shaped drive-through speaker that did not originally appear to be linked to a restaurant, though nightlife suggests (and Blubb-O's Commercial confirms) that it is the mascot for Blubb-O's. The speaker is very scratchy and difficult to understand. Its speech patterns range from typical drive-thru speaker phrases like "Would you like to try a combo meal?" to seemingly random phrases like "Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day," as well as playing a short length of music while moving its flume of water up and down. The Drive-Thru Whale can move from place to place using a rocket booster mounted underneath it, which allows it to fly up into Outer Space, and it can also rise up from underground. It apparently has a taste for Europa-pean Lobster, or perhaps for anything that will sever its leg. The Drive-Thru Whale was originally discovered in The Field, but has since been seen on the Sweet Puttin' Cakes Puttiature Golf-Golf Course and Behind the Fence. The Drive-Thru Whale is in Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, as a location in The Field. It says random phrases and cryptic hints when interacted with.
