The funniest thing to ever happen in the tma universe is when Gertrude was on the lookout for any supernatural clown activity ahead of the Unknowing, so she flew herself and Gerry all the way to New Zealand, and instead of learning anything that would help her avert the apocalypse, she just listened to some guy go, “Yeah, this huge, fucked up pig showed up in my yard one day and I’m like 90% sure he ate a clown? Can you help with that?”

The second funniest thing in the tma universe is that Gertrude’s advice was “encase the evil pig in cement.”

Like, making jokes about Monster Pig kind of feels like beating a dead horse at this point, but the specific context of Gertrude having travelled so far while in the middle of such important preparations is what really elevates the comedy for me. Girl travelled to a different continent and when she got there the supernatural horror was just a really big pig.
