I'm fighting all the spies!!! / [[Queen Elizabeth dons a pair of big, black-lensed, aviator sunglasses]] / Elizabeth: In the event that my identity is discovered, I will disavow all knowledge of myself. And it will totally work because I'm old. / {{mouse-over text: KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON KICKING SPY BUTTS}}
A Film by Emperor Norton Norton: Pah! Nobody wants to see no movie about some stupid spy queen. / Elizabeth: Oh whatever! Like anyone's going to want to see your lame hobo movie. It'll probably be about how you eat garbage or something. / Norton: {{quietly}} I assure you madame, it is the furthest thing from my mind. / [[A black screen with white-text quotes]] / {{"Uproariously breathtaking. A haunting, riveting gem... of the year." -Peter Travers}} / {{"I drew 4 stars on 2 of my thumbs and then waved them around crazily." -Roger Ebert}} / {{coming this fall...}} / [[Pink screen with black text]] / {{I EAT ALL THE FANCY CAKES FOR TWO HOURS}} / {{A film written by, directed by, and starring}} / {{Emperor Norton}} / {{mouse-over text; "Sorry, I'm dead" -Gene Siskel}}
A Film by Skeleton Shakespeare Earhart: Skeleton Shakespeare, you're a super creative guy at writing drama. I bet you've got a great movie idea! / Shakespeare: Well my uh my main idea was to do an actually good film version of one of my plays... Oh William who are you kidding you'll never be better than Kenneth Branagh. / Shakespeare: OK, no, that's OK! I'll do an original, something original! Yeah! / Shakespeare: I'll do one about a guy whose dad is a ghost- wait, no. How about there are some young lovers and they kill themselves- dang it! / Shakespeare: No OK, I'll do something crazy like with fairies and a guy whose head turns into a donkey- GUH! THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN! / Shakespeare: Wait, crud. I even stole that line from myself. / {{mouse-over text: Hamlet is basically a ripoff of Ghost Dad anyway.}}

A Film by Edgar Allan Poe Poe: I believe I have a tale to chill the bones. I call it... The Pit of the Purloined Prize. / Poe: Imagine if you will... A group of friends begin a good-natured competition for which a trivial prize is offered to the winner. / Poe: But, trivial as it is, one of the friends becomes obsessed with gaining this prize. The thought that anyone else might win it torments him, and the voices inside him lash his brain with the tongues of demons. / Poe: He could never trust chance or the whims of his comrades to allow him to secure the prize. Competing for it as the others do is unthinkable. Instead, this friend- no, more of an acquaintance really- hatches a devilish plot to obtain his end. / Poe: Somewhere, deep within, tiny voices cry out, attempting to sway him from this path. But he is heedless to their solicitations and simply carries on digging. He has a plan for this pit, and he will not be deterred. One by one, the bodies will fill- / [[Amelia holds up the "Invisible Trophy]] / Earhart: Well! I don't think I even need to hear the end of this story to say definitively that Poe clearly has the best movie idea! The Invisible Trophy's all yours!! / {{mouse-over text: The movie is just a guy reading narration for 2 hours.}}
 
Moonlighting Frederick Douglass: Man, being broke blows. I need more money! / Lincoln: Yeah man, everybody does. I had to take a second job. / Douglass: Oh geez, really? What's your new job? / Lincoln: Well, the weather's starting to get warmer and so the local pools were hiring a bunch of life guards, you know, to get ramped up for summer. / Douglass: Oh, so you're going to be a life guard? That doesn't seem like a bad job. / Lincoln: No, those positions filled up fast. But it turns out that pool filters are really expensive now. / Long story short, I got hired as a bandaid eater. / {{title text: It's more cost-effective to hire an ex-president to eat pool bandaids}}

Are you guys... / Lincoln: ...smooth buddies? / Pythagoras: Um...? Oh. No. No, we're not. / Lincoln: Cause, ya know, it'd be totally OK if you guys are smooth buddies. Nobody will be mad. / Archimedes: I AM A STATUE. / {{Alt-text: It's cool if you're smooth buddies, really. I just hope you're not rough buddies.}}

The Fresh President of D.C. THE PAST / Lincoln: Dudes, this whole Civil War thing really sucks! / Lincoln: Tons of people are dying a lot. / Hannibal: I suppose this is the terrible price we must pay to preserve the Union, Mr. Lincoln. / Lincoln: Yeah but come on, Veepster! This isn't what I signed up for when I told everybody I should be the president. / Lincoln: I didn't think it was going to be all, "THE BLOODIEST WAR IN AMERICAN HISTORY" all the time! / Lincoln (wearing a hat): I thought it was going to be like, you know, chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool.

Cojones George: OK, we can all agree that cojones is a pretty badass way to refer to the male nuts. / George: But gents, I have a proposition: we should pronounce it like "co-jones" / Twain: Capital idea. Hilarious! / Edison: Yeah, that rules! / Abe: What! How come whenever I have ideas like that, everybody's always like "that's a dumb idea for dummies and you're a dumb dummy?" / George: To the right is Jones; to the left, his co-jones. / Abe (thinking): That is pretty good.

Archaeology Lincoln: Man, what do you think would happen if some archaeologists found this comic someday? / Queen Elizabeth: You mean like if archaeologists learned how to use the internet and went to this website? / Lincoln: No! I mean if future archaeologists dug up this comic! I bet they'd be PRETTY CONFUSED about how some things in the past happened! / Queen Elizabeth: Now look, archaeologists may be idiots, but they're not just going to assume anything they find is a historically accurate work of nonfiction. / Lincoln: But what if it's really far in the future, and they couldn't tell the difference between comic strips and like, hieroglyphics! / Queen Elizabeth: You're describing a situation in which archaeologists have somehow become more stupid. I'm trying to tell you, that's not possible.

Mewsevelt has a terrible toothache! / [[Mewsevelt has a banage around his jaw]] / Rasputin: Um, what. / Rasputin: OK, Mewsevelt has a cavity in his tooth that is bigger than the tooth itself.

The Joy of Science {{The Joy of Science}} / {{with Abe Lincoln}} / Lincoln: Hello my friends, today on The Joy of Science, we're going to be trying some really lovely chemistry experiments. Doesn't that sound delightful? / Lincoln: Over here we have a happy little petri dish of water. Doesn't he just look friendly? / Lincoln: For our first experiment, we're going to see if we can't get some common vegetable oil to stop being such a silly wallflower and go out and meet some new friends. After all, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet, I always say. / Lincoln: Aw, well I guess oil and water don't get along too well after all. For our next experiment, we're going to introduce Potassium to our friend the water and see if we can't get them to be pals. / [[A flame burns in the petri dish]] / Lincoln: C'mon Potassium, now you're just being a jerk. / {{mouse-over text: there's no chemistry between these chemicals}}
