    • Wiki for Fantastico .

    He appeared in Ayla and the Networks .

    On TVTropes, there was stuff about how he was a reference to George W. Bush? Can anyone explain what about him is referential?

    • He's a texas boy, not smart (Bush is stereotyped or words I can't recall as being really dumb, or was prior to Trump), and he's rich because of Oil.

    Bush is from texas and I think he has some connections to oil on his lands?

    • George Bush is George Herbert Walker Bush and the other is George Walker Bush.

    • OK, the entire Good Ol' Boyz are a somewhat stealthed parody of the George W. Bush cabinet. It's not really obvious if you aren't looking for it, except that at some point Fantastico says "I'm the decider", which was one of the phrases GWB made notorious. Then if you start looking for points of similarity, you are supposed to be able to find them rather easily. I don't recall all of them, but:

    - Fantastico is GWB
    - Oiler is, I think, Dick Cheney
    - Conduit is a gender-flipped Condoleeza Rice
    ...I don't really remember the others. But then, I didn't know very well the more noticeable traits of the GWB cabinet. I can't even remember who was supposed to be Karl Rove...
    Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.

    • Yeah, it makes more sense if you look at the whole group. Even so, it's very low key, and got somewhat lost when the characters appeared after Ayla and the Networks.
