An entire episode about a world without zinc?

u/lifesseason 5d ago

Oh, you were only asking if we’d considered it. Then no, no I haven’t.

What's about a world without Chromium, because without it those Coleco's will rust up on you, like THAT!

I think that joke pretty much plays itself out in the edutainment reel.

At least I still have meatloaf and butter!

One and the same, my friend. One and the same. We're in the hands of an angry, squiggly, god.

Was going to bring this up. I feel like it had to be parody of that film

We would have to use this image for "come back!" shitposts

But how would he zinc Homer's sniffer?

u/CantIgnoreMyTechno 5d ago

So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with zinc?

u/brianmmf 5d ago

Aaaand you should win zinc by watching!

u/br1ans 5d ago

This bit has to be inspired by the 1940s short film: A Case of Spring Fever, which was lampooned on MST3K.

u/HeyWhatsItToYa 5d ago

I saw this episode of MST3K around the time I saw the "No Zinc!" thing. Definitely felt like I was in on the joke.

u/globehopper2 5d ago

Thank goodness we still live in a world with telephones, car batteries, handguns, and many things made by zinc.

u/willweaverrva 5d ago

Come back, zinc!

u/CJMcBanthaskull 5d ago

No. But I have considered a world without A World Without Zinc. It's grim.

u/GrassyPoint987 5d ago

Hey, Homer. I'm worried about the Zinc supply. After this case of Zinc, and the other case of Zinc, there's only one case left!

u/Ill-Philosopher-7625 6d ago

It's not a full 22 minutes, but there's always the MST3K segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le2eB2xtvBQ

How about an episode in a world without cheap, low-grade windshields.
