It's backwards world after all.

The good bit is, for those who somehow managed to take the discs and spin them backwards (think this only applied to videotapes) the guy is actually saying, backwards, something like "Haven't you got something better to do than running this backwards to see what it says?"

Love the irony in that!
I remember that episode, never knew about that extra little bit. Great irony indeed
