Very high quality but if this playlist wasn't a thing I wouldn't have to do this assignment.

A lot of things in life aren't logical, especially humans 😔

The male cartoon character reminds me of an animotronic version of the actor, David Duchovny, from the X-Factor show.

This seems less like "when a conclusion does not meet the premises" and more like somebody asserting their belief despite the fact that this particular set of evidence leads to nowhere.
A better case of a non sequitur on the Simpsons would be when the owner of Itchy and Scratchy says violence existed before cartoons so Itchy and Scratchy is not responsible for any violence, even though we see in that very episode that Maggy is influenced by the show.

I was always thought that aliens were something that we would have to think about when the the brownies kick in.

I thought the non squirter was Moe seeing thr FBI amd concluding that he is in trouble for having a whale

[bingusiswatching]

Wouldn't this also be an argument from ignorance?
We do not know why or how certain things happened.
Thus aliens

The real tragedy is that he could have very easily picked a stronger argument to assert that we are not alone in the universe. Btw could we also accuse Mulder of _post hoc rationalization?_

[jammin]

The real mystery is how Moe and his Stooges are carrying that whale 🐋 😅

Have you done a no true Scotsman fallacy
