Comics featuring Polar Bears & Penguins together will almost always get a disparaging comment like: “polar bears and penguins live at opposite poles and never meet”. These comments come from “sticklers for accuracy”, or just sticklers. So the stickers are going to go crazy when the polar bear comes out with a penguin.
Of course, a stickler would never say “blow your minds,” because that is either inaccurate or undefined. A stickler might say “amaze” or something (yawn!) similar.
Since the National Sticklers Association is probably not located at either pole, it’s a good bet that both of the evening’s honored guests were flown in at enormous expense. Make sure you’ve paid your dues, ladies and gentlemen.
They aren’t being introduced as coming from the same place so while the ‘opposite poles’ explanation may have been the intent here, the fact that they will be the next SPEAKERS is more stickleresque!

Can we consider them Bi-Polar?

We are all scratching our heads. When this many commenters are clueless, maybe you’ve crossed over into extreme esoterica.

A cave man and a dinosaur might have worked better.

I’m not a stickler but I still say dinosaurs should not have been in the movie 1 Million Years BC

You shouldn’t have to work this hard to get to a punchline.
