"Which New York borough is home to an organization called the (something Korean sounding) Mafia?"

"Queens?"

"No way! Staten Island."

"Hey, where I come from we've got more mafia than your ass!"

"Oh yeah? I grew up in a neighbourhood with all electric fences and guard dogs!"

"That's the one good thing about the mafia—they keep the crime rate down."

"Which cartoon character has a dog named Snert?"

"Oh oh oh oh oh — shit, The Viking!"

"The Viking! What's his name?"

"You don't know The Viking's name?"

(Laughter)

"Fuck off!"

"Jello?"

"Yes, please."

"With or without teddy bears?"

"What was the title of the last Dune novel written by Frank Herbert?"

"Hmn. The Dune Something?"

"They're all called that."

"No, no, the titles are more epic, you know, like Doomed Peasants From Dune."

"Debbie Does Dune."

"Desert Storm of Dune."

"Shock and Awe on Dune."

"Teabaggers From Dune?"
