Neptune Wants Me To Understand Them!?!

Neptune Wants Me to Understand Them!?! is the second episode of ObjectTales. The first story is a loose parody of "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck, while the second is a parody of "Gilligan's Island".

## Plot

In the first segment, Pa Broomstick is the father of a family of cranky broomsticks, The Broomsticks of Wrath, who regularly name-call and insult each other. Upon crashing into a tree stump, the family get out of their vehicle and begin to tease Little Tommy Cup about his appearance. Little Tommy is then rescued by his dad (Dad Teapot) who explains to The Broomsticks that it is not nice to pick on people and Little Tommy forgives them at his dad's urging. Mario and Jerry then try to figure out how many times one should forgive and Xwerty shows the verse, Matthew 18:22 "Jesus answered 'I tell you not seven times, but seventy times seven.' [Mt. 18:21-22]. When Rosie figures out the answer to Xwerty's question (i.e. 490), the Broomsticks ask for Little Tommy's forgiveness and the "Broomsticks of Wrath" are renamed "The Broomsticks of Math".

The second segment, "Jerry's Lagoon", parodies the first episode of the television classic Gilligan's Island. In this story, Jerry the Clock plays Gilligan, the ship's first mate who crashes and sinks the ship while daydreaming, thus marooning the passengers and crew on a deserted island. Due to this accident, the passengers hold a grudge against Roger, despite his apology, which causes him to run away. However, Mario the Candelabra, playing the part of The Skipper, realizes the error of their ways and the group forgives Jerry for stranding them. A toy palm tree named Palmy appears and congratulates everyone for their forgiveness and sings a Reggae-style song called "The Forgiveness Song" about how important it is to always show forgiveness from your heart. The cast is finally able to escape the island on a bamboo helicopter cobbled together by The Professor (Dad Teapot).
