About: My Friends and Zoidberg   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

A standard comedy trope which, at its core, takes the form: "Group A... and Bob." It is often expanded to mention two or more groups that form a supergroup: "Ladies, Gentlemen... Bob." In either version, Bob is already expected to be among the group(s) in question, but is singled out as if he's not, usually at Bob's expense; "Bob" may be anyone, including the Butt Monkey or an Acceptable Target. This can be Played for Laughs in cases where it's literally impossible for Bob not to be a member of the groups mentioned. Examples of My Friends and Zoidberg include:

It can also be used to deliver a Stealth Insult: "We welcome members of all benevolent professions, as well as lawyers." Or, inverted, it can even deliver a compliment: "You morons, and Bob."
