Brian The Snail was a character on The Magic Roundabout

If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

I see - got it! I knew the 'metal snail' was a common nickname for the 2CV so all makes sense now.

I remember that when it was first broadcast. "I'm not being overtaken by a base".

So many fragile egos. It's almost hilariously bad, as if it were scripted. Every perfect stereotype laid bare.
