The “Roger that, Roger” line reminded me of something I saw somewhere where “Roger, Roger” was said. It only took me a minute to remember it was in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, where the Battle Droids were constantly saying that, usually just before getting destroyed in some horrible way.
I never understood the need for a rank structure in a droid army. It sort of like saying the CPU outranks the RAM in my computer.
Also, other than playing for a human audience, why did they use sound to communicate? Radio would have been more efficient. And if they can build humanoid droids that can do whatever these things do (other than getting blown up as cannon fodder), could they at least make them more intelligible than a 1970’s Speak and Spell?

Well, at least Mr. Fox is acting serious instead of periodically nuts this time.

Andy will say, “No. That stuff’s mostly sugar!”

@skeeterhawk: You’re right; I stopped using Tang when the price of sugar skyrocketed and was followed by the price of Tang.

I think I’ll forgo my usual comment on my favorite flavor of tang.

I wonder if they ever tried using a substitute of sugar for Tang.

You might get TANG for breakfast Jason, but there are no guarantees.
