Yup, Nick… Time to teach The Mike the difference between “embarrassed” and “humiliated”. Take away his cord and his stand, and tell him he can have them back when he learns how to behave like an adult.
Oh, I remember Dave’s crush on Mike Foley, but I don’t remember Shaenon mentioning herself having such a crush, so it didn’t click to expect a reference here. Which is why I missed your pun. Or maybe I was just tired.
Hate. You. So. Much… This is something that was buried deep in the memory hole with chains and locks with no keys. Now it has broken free and I’ll need another 30 years to put it back in the hole. I’m billing you for the therapy.
I didn’t click on it, but based on your reaction, I’m guessing it’s the “Mr. Microphone” commercial. Just binge watch a bunch of 80s music videos and that should drive it back out of your head.
Welcome to the rumble, it’s no fun to play
We’ll give all the fight you want, but you won’t want to stay.
We’re the fighters that you want, whatever you may see
If you can’t be funny, honey, we’ll say what we please.
In the rumble, welcome to the rumble, the Mike will make you laugh.
It’s not a holograph…
Welcome to the rumble, the Mike has all the plans.
Step too close, you’ll cut and bleed, but what the hell, they’re fans.
It’s a very silly fight, and very much a pain.
The silliness bench has moved along, but the fighters still remain.
In the rumble, welcome to the rumble, we’ll see you have the blues.
Machine Union dues
Welcome to the rumble, it gets worse every time.
First it was the Camazotz, who vampired his way to crime.
Now the Mike has come to bat, with the dozens upon his lips
You can say whatever you want, so long as they’re better quips
In the rumble, welcome to the rumble, we wanna see a fight.
It’s just schrecklichkeit…

Watch out for those fans. They’ve got blades.
I’d say ‘Watch out, they’ll cut you man’ but the safety cages might make that difficult.
Best tournament arc ever.
It’s right up there with the Spelling Bee of Terror Island.
So THIS is what became of the “New Improved Mr. Microphone”!
Sounds like it is time for a “Mike drop”…I’ll see my way out.
Based on his lack of logic, I’d say that Mike is not grounded! So don’t touch it!
Shocking…
In retrospect, this pun was inevitable.
Its been made everyday for the last 4 days. 🙂
I believe he’s referring to the “legion of fans” pun.
Given how long we’ve known about the Machine Union, I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t been done before.
You know, the microphone has a lot of dialogue, but I would have expected it to have sound effects too, and so far I haven’t seen any at all.
I guess what I’m saying is that given what I know of Shaenon, I’m surprised at the lack of mic foley.
Maybe the point is that he’s all talk.
I know you’re not supposed to explain the joke, but here: http://narbonic.com/comic/december-24-29-2001/ (specifically the second strip)

The oscillating fan comes and goes and that’s what caught Mike’s eye. The other two just blew it.
I was trying to follow up with a “blow” pun , but I couldn’t find one that didn’t make me feel like it was something Baron Misty corn would say….
Sure, the Mike will take her out for a spin, but in the end it’ll just be another breezy affair.
She’ll go around with anyone.
Anyone with the energy to keep her going.
I have to say I’m amazed by how the creators have made simple microphone so expressive.
That was a low, obvious pun. Good work.
I’m not entirely sure I appreciate being reminded of this part of my past: https://youtu.be/hqIrzkPDtrk
“Hey good lookin’. We’ll be back to pick you up later!!”

Could have been worse…
Good God. It’s full of crap.
