Okay, I think there valid goofs as they break continuity or realism. My first one about it breaking natural response I suppose that counts as under humor, but I still think it should be included. My second one, I think its a serious breech of Continuity to have a dead character alive, normally in this show if they come back, they give an explanation why. So him just appearing out of the blue is a breech. My final point is what happened, defied what he said, and that sort of error is included for other episodes. I have to leave now, so I won't reply to your response till later today. -- the preceding unsigned comment was written by 86.157.186.168.

They are not mistakes "made by the episode". Plots holes, [1] for example, are goofs, but bad storytelling isn't a goof. Sanfazer (talk) 17:02, 30 August 2013 (CEST).
1.  ^ Plot holes. Sanfazer (talk) 21:10, 30 August 2013 (CEST).

Okay lets go through them, the first (her not being able to tell bad smells from good, due to never learning) is physiologically inaccurate. The Second (Roberto being alive when he's already died,) I think that counts as a plot hole, as it breeches continuity, and its not for a joke, he is simply alive again, doesn't that count as an error? My Third one (Randy claiming there was no prize for the tap dancing contest, when at the end there is a prize) surely counts as an error, as goes against what he previously said. I would like to add another potential goof to the this list, the fact Bender casually dances on top of people with them receiving no damage, despite weighing so much he should flatten them, shouldn't that count? --86.157.186.168 17:35, 30 August 2013 (CEST)

Whatever mistakes Marianne and Randy make, they are not goofs. Characters can be wrong.
Roberto's appearance is not a plot hole in this episode. It may be a plot hole on the show.
As for Bender dancing on top of the others, maybe he is not as heavy as we think he is.
There's almost always an explanation. It's a matter of using your imagination. Sanfazer (talk) 17:44, 30 August 2013 (CEST).
One thing we can do is acknowledge mistakes made by characters in the trivia sections. Sanfazer (talk) 17:47, 30 August 2013 (CEST).
Also, Roberto's return is already mentioned in the continuity section. Sanfazer (talk) 17:51, 30 August 2013 (CEST).

Fine I give up, I personally think these standards are confusing, but okay.--86.157.186.168 17:54, 30 August 2013 (CEST)

Here's something I think sums it up. If it could happen in a real-life situation, it's not a goof. Sanfazer (talk) 18:02, 30 August 2013 (CEST).

Marianela

Anyone think this has some resemblance to the novel Marianela? No one likes him because of his stench, just like no one likes Marianella because of her looks. Marriane can't smell Zoidberg so she likes him, and Pablo likes Marianela because he is blind. At the end, both Marianne and Pablo have an operation that restores the sense that causes everyone else to hate Zoidberg and Marianela respectively. Both still love the other (though Pablo doesn't know until Marianela dies, sadly). The only difference is they didn't kill off Zoidberg. --70.44.176.12 23:47, 16 September 2013 (CEST)

You can note these similarities in the article if you want. Sanfazer (talk) 00:02, 17 September 2013 (CEST).
This wiki is a lot friendlier than the one for American Dad. I once noted something that seemed like a reference and had a note on my page the next day telling me that unless I had proof, don't post it and that was my last (and first) warning. I'm not sure how to summarize all that though if someone else wants to give it a try. Ganon12788 (talk) 04:11, 8 October 2013 (CEST)
I don't want to summarise it myself, because I haven't read the novel. If you have, anything you can write would be a good addition. And yes. Here at The Infosphere we believe in user friendliness. We just don't have any friends. Oh wait. Sanfazer (talk) 22:29, 8 October 2013 (CEST).
Gave it my best shot. If anyone sees this who has also read it can do better, be my guest. Ganon12788 (talk) 05:16, 9 October 2013 (CEST)
