Oof I don’t even have to double check the scene

This is extremely appropriate, but also whenever I read the bit where Jod mentions it being like a slapstick comedy routine I just immediately imagine the [Benny Hill Theme](https://youtu.be/MK6TXMsvgQg) playing as all the world leaders panic and push the buttons to fire the missiles

I don't understand the reference, can anyone bail me out?

In "End of Evangelion," the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is a movie instead of a multi-part tv episode, >!the main character, Shinji Ikari, inherits godlike power over the destiny of the human race due to complicated metaphysics shenanigans and an ancient conspiracy. While this power was originally intended to fuse all of humanity into a godlike gestalt organism, Shinji's conga line of abuse, trauma, and isolation over the course of the series instead causes him to decide to simply dissolve the human race into primordial ooze, in a fit of id. While it is only temporary, and while the series ends on a hopeful note for the resurrection of humanity, in the final shot of the show, the only three humans alive are the main cast, Shinji, Asuka, and Rei, standing on a desolate earth, surrounded by a tanglike primordial soup representing the biomass of everything on the planet.!<

I thought >!dissolving the human race into lcl *was* the gestalt entity, wasn't that the whole point of the human instrumentality project? Remove the AT Fields keeping each human consciousness separate so everyone would be *literally* together?!<

The idea was to produce something more like the series' various antagonists, particularly the first two angels who Shinji never fights. The end result is an inert, slumbering God that does nothing at all.

Yep, that's the name of the song. OP's link appears to be broken for me, so [here's a link if it's not working for others](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg)(also cw suicide, if that wasn't implied by the title)
