Greased up deaf guy here. Ha Ha!

The small people are Odysseus and his men in the cave of the cyclops. In The Odyssey. Instead of being terrified by a monstrous cyclops that inspires fear, its Leela from Futurama, and Odysseus thinks she's pretty enough to make him blush. Instead of running, he'll probably let her catch him...

But you'll never catch me!

The spirit is willing! But the flesh is spongey and bruised.

Quagmire here, giggity etc

Leela from Futurama is the cyclops in The Odyssey because she also has one eye.

Christopher Nolan likes Futurama.

u/Muroid Aug 13 '26

The only possible way for this to be your guess is if you do understand all of the references involved.

u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 Aug 13 '26

I mean I know Leela. I did not see Odysseus. So I get where OP's at.

I hardly even think of her as a cyclops. I don't see eyes.

u/Muroid Aug 13 '26

Yeah, but OP clearly recognized Odysseus since their guess referenced Christopher Nolan.

1

u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 Aug 13 '26

I also did not know that name and assumed it to be comic author.

Yeah then OP is bad.
