They're your friends and a whole lot more.
For those of you who just missed that reference, Google "Denver The Last Dinosaur"
What I love about this image, another random find on the glorious interweb, is that is is both nonsensical and intelligent. Why would a carnosaur be interested in either Hamlet or Terminator sequels?
I have no idea.
This particular Tyranosaurus Rex is also fluent in English.
Ponder that, why don't you?
What we also see here is the removal of several things from their original contexts. First, there is the dinosaur. While in its own time period, it was a feared predator, here, it is an anthropomorphized and very green film critic.
Next, there is the proposition that Hamlet, obviously a classic work of English Literature, is a Terminator sequel.
Oddly, the dinosaur is correct here in that Hamlet is okay (in its original context), but disappoints at every conceivable level as a Terminator sequel. This is also accurate. Hamlet does not feature time traveling cyborgs, dystopian futures, or anything that a person coming to a Terminator text would expect. Therefore, it is highly probable that if someone were to hypothetically approach Hamlet as a Terminator sequel, they could consider it an "okay" story that has nothing in common with previous canonical texts.
Of course, Hamlet has existed after dinosaurs, but well before Terminator sequels (one great, one passable, and a television show I can't pass judgement on because I haven't seen), but since we're dealing with a series (Temrinator) whose canon contains time travel, anything is possible.
