ENERGIZER BUNNY.
You could restage any event in history, any event in any TV show or movie, and then cut it short with the ENERGIZER BUNNY stomping through.
It'd be hilarous, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
George Washington: We've got to cross the Delaware river tonight, even though it's freezing cold.
Aide-de-Campe: The water's freezing sir.
GW: Neverheless, the future of the Republic depends on it.
AdC: I'm afraid you haven't enough room to sit in your boat, sir.
GW: I'll stand.
(Rowing through the dark. Men throw up from the effort, ala Private Ryan, but still, the boats arrive.)
Gw: The English should only be about 10 miles from here. Let's go men.
(ENERGIZER BUNNY goes thumping past. GW and troops stop in their tracks.)
Samuel Adams: What is that thing, sir?
GW: Who cares. (Kicks it across the path.)
(Proceed with battle of Delaware.)
Maybe the EB is just the corporate thing to suck up to, and characters are free to kick it out of the way at any time, after paying it lip service.
