The treatment is justified as, in most of Steven Spielberg's cartoons, network censors (along with studio executives) are Acceptable Targets to mock and make into villains.

  • Media Watchdog

Molly Pitcher

Molly Pitcher was a woman who supposedly carried water to cannon crews during the American Revolutionary War. It's said that when her husband, one of the cannon crewmen, was wounded during the Battle of Monmouth, she took his place at the guns. Now, she tends to show up whenever anyone in the series needs or talks about water (It's either her or Montezuma, and you don't want that!).

Tropes exhibited by this character include:

Back to Histeria!
