Quotes

• Vicious Vinnie: I'm doing a television show. I'm entertaining an audience.
• George: Entertaining? You call telling lies, giving misinformation and being abusing entertaining? Listen, kids! There are 5 Great Lakes! Springfield is the capital of Illinois, and when you multiply any number by 0 the answer is always 0!
• Vicious Vinnie: Are you finished?
• George: No, you are! (he reveals Vicious Vinnie as Wellworth Watching)

• Kate: You know something, partner?
• George: What's that?
• Kate: Wellworth Watching was...
• Mahnetters: Well worth watching! (they laugh)

• Mathnet Announcer: Wellworth Watching, also known as Vicious Vinnie Vermin, was tried and convicted of a 417, breaking and entering a computer, an 812, using Emmitt Kelly's makeup to misinform kids and a 714.33, contaminating data. He was sent away from society for a gosh-darn long time.
