I'm not sure why it bothers me that they didn't use the actual periodic table and replace one element for the joke. Instead it's all jumbled and misnumbered.
Well it seems lazy. And I think elements of accurate realness in contrast to the twist in a cartoon make it funnier.
I can't tell the numbers, but La and Ac being in the main table threw me off, had me suspecting everything was wrong
Well I couldn't see 1, so my brain went to where 2 should be, and saw Hydrogen, which told me shit was fucked. Ain't nothing noble about no Hydrogen. That change alone would make water near impossible to exist and all life on earth to have never occurred.
Well, that change alone would mean elements have different names...
Yeah, I did notice Hydrogen where Helium ought to be. Other than that, though, the rest seems okay far as I know of the periodic table (meaning anything till about Uranium, in order)
Maybe an ordered table can’t have the element of surprise.
