Gatesy: Every kids' show I've ever seen talks down to kids,
  Except perhaps "Pugwall",
Yon and Gatesy: And "Pugwall's Summer".
   
Tripod: So, in keeping with that methodology,
  We won't use any complex words,
  Like "methodology".
   
Yon: Or "plankton".
Gatesy: That's it.
Yon: Yep.
Gatesy: No more.
Yon: We won't do any more.
   
Scod: Tricorder!
Yon: Oh, Scod...
Scod: Sorry.
   
Tripod: So listen up, kids, to Uncle Tripod,
  Let us talk about your Auntie,
  'Cause Auntie has to go away for a while.
   
  You see, Auntie's been naughty,
  She's a little bit unbalanced.
Scod: 'Cause they say her right wing's broken,
  And she's going round in circles,
  Yeah, she's going round in circles...
   
Gatesy: So kids, we'll try to fill you in on world events,
Yon and Gatesy: But we're gonna have to fudge it,
  'Cause they've cut our budget.
   
Scod: But based on what we see on commercial telly,
Gatesy and Scod: Foreigners are evil,
  And "Alias" is back on.
   
Tripod: Apparently, Lisa McCune,
  Is working on something-or-other,
  And Alex is back on "Secret Life of Us".
   
  And without "Foreign Correspondent",
  We're gonna have to trust the Government,
Scod: And they say the war is over,
  Yeah, they say the war is over,
  But not the war on terror,
  Or the war on dodgy plumbers,
  Or the war on insurance fraud,
  Or the war on lazy unemployed,
  Or the war on obesity,
  Or the war on refugees,
Tripod: Or the war on the ABC...
   
  'Cause Auntie's been naughty,
  And they're gonna cut her brain out.
   
  (Scod and Gatesy make operation-type noises in the background)
   
Yon: (Brainless) Today's news is full good. Gee, the Government are doing good job, aren't they?
  Yes, crikey, they are...
  (Fades out) Well, don't you? I mean... That's a joke, isn't it?...
