*watching dora the explorer* holy CRAP!! she just BROKE THE FOURTH WALL!!!! guys this show is so META and EPIC

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dora the Explorer. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head.

There’s also Dora’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE.

As a consequence people who dislike Dora the Explorer truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in the Map’s existential catchphrase “I’m the map I’m the map I’m the map I’m the map I’m the MAP” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons.

I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Swiper the Fox’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Dora tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

@adarkroomandawallflower the top looks like an ask you would get, and the rest looks like your answer for it
