WORLD
By ROBERT
DONALD
LOCKE
Narrator: It's a world much like our own, yet much unlike it. A twisted mirror of reality, in which a man can find himself cast out, made invisible by public acclamation, belonging no longer to society, but only to the gray reaches... of the Twilight Zone.
The Twilight Zone
Black Arachnia: Yeah! To satisfy his twisted sense of humour.
Beast Machines: Transformers
(..or her...)
Q: They simply have no sense of humor - a character flaw with which you can personally identify.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Lynn: He's a wonderful guy, with a terrific sense of humor.
ALF
Harry Kim: She's even got a sense of humor. It's offbeat, a bit subtle, maybe. And she's incredibly intelligent.
Star Trek: Voyager
Quark: But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people become as nasty and as violent as the most blood thirsty Klingon.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Lenny Nero: This tie cost more than your entire wardrobe... it's the one thing that stands between me and the jungle.
Strange Days
Billy: Is it that one about the little girl who wanders around the jungle with no parental supervision, avoiding crisis and conversing with the local wildlife with the aid of her foreign language-speaking monkey?
