I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
As ridiculous as the rest of this, funny, and it's got Rocket again to boot.
Everything ties up nicely, and the best I can say is that this knew it was completely silly as a concept and went, what the hell, we'll roll with it. It didn't try to be too serious, and that would have just made this seem weird in a 'oh, no, they don't know that it isn't' way.
Instead, it was just hilariously weird.
