Researcher #2 : Knowing something is going to be ironically cool suddenly makes it traditionally cool.
Researcher #1 : So to be ahead of the curve, they decided to not even make it ironically cool.
Researcher #2 : Hell, even thinking about it probably cuts its lifespan in half.
Nostalgia Critic : [depressed] So you're telling me sitting through all this misery, the worst animated film of all time, was...?
Researcher #1 : A complete waste of time.
Researcher #2 : Sorry, buddy.
Nostalgia Critic : And there's nothing I can do about it?
Researcher #1 : Not unless you somehow want to do a review of the Attorney General of Crimea.
Researcher #2 : She is on fire right now!
