[[Image:419.jpg|thumb|Dean]]
-
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.
+
==Contributions==
-
*'''Would you like to try a combo meal?-''' Many fast food places sell combo meals, so this is logical.
+
*[[Overdescriptive nouns]]
-
*'''Sever your leg, please, it's the greatest day'''.- Though this is later revealed to be what it said and that it was merely so that it could eat whatever actually did it, it could have spiritually meant "$7.08, please, it's as plain as day".
+
*[[The Beatles]]
-
*'''Pour gravel on your stump, mam.-''' Purely nonsensical. However, it was said in the nonsensical world of [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], so this is explainable.
+
*various other artist pages
-
*'''Cave your brown.-''' Once again, nonsensical. However, it was also said in Sweet Puttin' Cakes, which could explain it.
+
*[[Muffins]]
-
*'''Relinquish your pipes, please fellas.-''' Merely parodying its seemingly nonsensical phrasings.
+
*[[McDonald's]]
-
*'''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''.
+
*[[Breakfast]]
-
*'''You're living a lie, would you like cash back?'''- the first part seems odd, but the second part is relevant.
+
*[[Nineties]]
-
*'''Slice your fingers thin.''' (implied)- It could perhaps be referencing slicing ''chicken'' fingers thin. As [[Bubs]] has no visible fingers, this seems logical.
