This bit of cartoonery comes to mind:
Space Ghost: Greetings, welcome to the show.
Zorak: Hey!
Space Ghost: Tonight my guest is Corey Feldman.
Zorak: Hey! (beat) What's with the shark?
Space Ghost: That's been there... for over a year.
Zorak: Oh. Well, I don't remember it.
Space Ghost: Well, it was one year ago today I brought it in and said, "Here is the shark, I'll place it right here."
Moltar: (In the control room) What did I say?
Space Ghost: You said you were so excited about this merger that you couldn't speak.
Moltar: Uh, what merger?
Space Ghost: The merger between this talk show and that shark. I know I told you this.
Zorak: (Beat)
Moltar: (Beat)
Zorak: Well, I don't remember.
Space Ghost: Look, that is Ol' Kentucky Shark, and he has been there. Okay, Zorak and Moltar? Are we clear now?
Zorak: Tch, yeah.
(Space Ghost walks toward his desk)
Zorak: You don't want me to play you to your desk?
Space Ghost: (Stops walking) When have we ever done that? We've never done it that way! (Continues walking) And if you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then you won't. (Reaches his desk & sits down, glances toward Zorak) Stupid. (Looks at the camera) Now, let's welcome Corey Feldman.
(Monitor lowers with Willie Nelson)
Willie Nelson: Hello.
Space Ghost: Or Willie Nelson, it, it really doesn't matter.
Willie Nelson: Thank you. (smiles)
Space Ghost: Maybe it does matter. Eh, hello, Willie, do you know Ol' Kentucky Shark?
Willie Nelson: Gosh, I don't know.
Space Ghost: (Holds Ol' Kentucky up to monitor, who starts growling) Well, allow me! Ol' Kentucky Shark, this is Willie Nelson. Willie Nelson, Ol' Kentucky Shark.
Willie Nelson: My pleasure.
Space Ghost: (Drops Ol' Kentucky) See, Ol' Kentucky Shark is the brand new mascot of the failing liquor chain that bought us.
Zorak: Ohhhh, so now there's a liquor store involved...
Space Ghost: Look, in the heat of conversation, Zorak, I may have said certain things I don't believe to be true.
Zorak: So... you lied.
