Talk:Feathered Friends and Foes

Scene from series

In this episode, when Stonefleck realizes that Cheek is eating all the vicious fish, he voices this observation out loud. As soon as he finishes his sentence, one of his own rats starts getting into an obvious snickering fit that stopped as soon as Stonefleck pointed his own blade as his own comrade. While I find that adds to humor, I'm not really certain as to why that particular rat was getting into a little snickering fit. I've narrowed the reason for it to a few possibilities:

1. I get a feeling this rat might have been a new recruit in Stonefleck's army of rats, and might not have been used to Stonefleck's monotone voice.

2. If this rat was serving in Stonefleck's personal army for a long time, he might have been used to Stonefleck using analogies that made some sense, but hearing the "pig going at acorns" one could have triggered the fit by not making much sense to him.

3. Since Stonefleck rarely speaks, perhaps this gave the rat a particularly difficult time to take the sound of his voice seriously.

4. If none of these theories fit, perhaps this rat thought of a time with his mother that happened to make fun of pigs, and the effect of the good memory happened to cause him to lose his composure.

Whatever the reason, I find that his snickering obviously angered (or, at the very least, irritated) Stonefleck, as he pointed his blade at the snickering rat to stop the fit. I wonder what you think about that scene?
