Barney chases a fucking egg.

A huge purple dinosaur whose unwavering friendliness makes me feel uneasy. Who else but Barney? The totemic symbol of all that is wrong with capitalism and the cynical marketing of goods to children. In a scene of self-realisation, Cody tries to convince their grandparents that Barney is real, he says "I saw him! He was big!" Grandfather looks wistfully into the sky and muses: "Oh sure he's big now, but just you wait - these fads come and go." How right you were, Grandpa. How right you were.
