... and then cleanse your palate with the purely superior Perry The Platypus Theme Song, is my advice.

That and this Agent P entrance compilation.

So Pythagorean triangles just got pushed out of my head to make room for this forever. And I'm okay with that.

Cheryl Wheeler's Potato song seems possibly apropos at this point.

I just punched myself in the head, with my left hand, trying to rid myself of P-P-P-P-Platypus. I landed on Q-Q-Q-Q, and I was trying to make a stupid joke but fuck QQQ is up to the right. Thanks for nothing Fizz.

It's all fun and games until you get stung by the platypus's vicious poisonous spurs!

He's a semi-aquatic egg laying mammal of action!
He's a furry little flatfoot who'll never flinch from a fray!
He's got more than just mad skills
He's got a beaver tail and a bill
And the women swoon whenever they hear him saaaaaay
(Perry noise)

He's looking really good in his 1940's fedora.
He's got an iron will, nerves of steel,
and several other metal themed attributes!
His fur is watertight!
And he's always up for a fight!
So when evil hears this sound
it shakes in its booooots!'
(Perry noise)

He's Perry!
Perry the Platypus!
Yes Perry!
Perry the Platypus!

AGENT P!

I literally got three seconds into that song before closing the tab in anger and/or horror and/or disgust and/or panic.

I was hoping for Perry!

I am sorry to say I did not immediately close my tab after the first five seconds; however, things picked up when the man appeared, as I had (mistakenly) assumed that he was the ventriloquist. In fact, I had convinced myself that he was indeed the ventriloquist for most of the video, and much impressed by his skill; unfortunately, towards the end it became apparent that he is not. (Though I cannot be certain without a second viewing, and this is not going to happen.) (<>This link, under the 'show more' section, is somewhat more fun: kids actually enjoying the song. Aw.

Ok. I can't be the only person here who doesn't believe in the platypus. I mean, honestly, have you ever seen one? I have been to a lot of zoos and I have never seen one. I've seen a lot of shit, man, but never a platypus. If the moon landing was faked, this egg laying, poisonous mammal sure as hell was as well.

(Plus, that's obviously a puppet in the video, how stupid do you think I am? Wale up, sheeple!)

Platypi apparently do not do well in captivity. According to Wikipedia: "As of 2013, there is no platypus in captivity outside of Australia. Three attempts were made to bring the animals to the Bronx Zoo, in 1922, 1947, and 1958; of these, only two of the three animals introduced in 1947 lived longer than eighteen months."

There's a platypus controlling me. He's underneath the table.

My teacher is a panda.

I have seen a platypus in the wild, I can confirm that they are real transdimensional space-mutants carefully positioning themselves for an Earth incursion. Also they are very shiny!

Convenient excuse, isn't it? And turbid dahlia has obviously been compromised.
