      Smokey Bear has no middle name. Don’t want to get the… man, I cannot remember the relevant in-universe organization that would come after you for that, but I’m sure there’s one.

        Smokey belongs to the U.S. Forest Service, an agency of the Department of Agriculture. While his name is Smokey Bear, his theme song refers to him as Smokey the Bear – so it appears they’re not doctrinaire about it.

        @matt w: It might be Pedants Anonymous.

    Wait, the evil version has more puns? Not less? How odd- that’s like trying to prove your evil credentials by acting more like a joke villian.

      I think it’s like how the evil version always has better uniforms.

      It goes without saying that this isn’t the evil version.

    Do crows control everything in this simulation? Or are Nick and crew just caught in a running gag?

      You might call it “crows control.” Geddit? Geddit? No? OK, let me try it with a different accent then….

      That’s when the Thought Police decided it was Tropical Rain Forest and not Jungle. Same goes for Swamps suddenly becoming Wet Lands.

        But a jungle and a tropical rainforest aren’t the same thing…

        Swamps becoming wetlands was a part of an effort to protect them. Saying that you are “draining a swamp” makes you sound like you are doing something good and pure. But “destorying wetland” makes you sound like an environmental vandal. its less thought police and more a rebranding effort.

    “irrelephant”, eh? I think that particular pun may have just given Our Heroes and the Gentle Readers a clue! ^_^

    You know why you shouldn’t play card games with big cats? Because they’re CHEETAHS.

      Clever… very clever. Except cheetahs are not actually part of the Big Cat family. So the joke only works on people who don’t know their cats. Change the answer to “because they’re lion” and it works.

      And everyone knows that cheetahs never prosper. I suspect a lot of jokes don’t holdup to careful analysis.
