And I’m not cancelling cause of the insensitive comments about a disease that killed my family member and might be laying in wait inside my brain but for the skanootz bullshit

2026-01-23 18:06:02 +0000 UTCAs soon as I heard the joke about the Kranginator and the almost Doofenshmirtz reference I was instantly seized with the thought of you doing a Robert Doofenshmirtz episode played completely straight. (You could also speculate why he was replaced by a non-named mayor in Milo Murphy’s Law, who I personally believe had to have run on an anti-hijinks campaign.)
