[Start of Darkness] A joke I just didn't get...

[SliderDaFeral]

I know it might be a little late for this, but it's been nagging at me. Would anyone kindly explain why...Mr. Belvedere started following Eugene around after his visit to the Oracle?

It's a classic gag: somebody's memory is impaired, and as soon as it starts working again, they find themselves in media res, in the middle of some zany comedy bit.

Alternative example: Getting so drunk you don't remember what you did. Example:


We're on a mining ship, three million years in deep space. Can someone please explain to me where the Smeg I got this traffic cone?
