BATMAN: Yes, I do donate plenty to charity to help Gotham. But contrary to the Fox News crowd, you need strong government programs to help, too! Speaking of which, the previous president belonged in Arkham, not the White House! What kind of person views Clark Kent as an "enemy of the people" for doing his reporting job?! (Sees camera start to pan away) Wait, don't cut me off--- (cuts to a DC Comics "technical difficulties" test pattern)

"The joke is the Flintstones are cavemen replicating 1960s-era technology with animals, rocks, and wood. So they used a bird's beak as a record player needle since IRL they didn't have CDs, MP3s or streaming back then. And their cameras are a bird chiseling a "photo" with its beak like a jackhammer, since IRL "instant cameras" with physical one-minute-developing film were the only way to take photos quickly."
