Geographic place names, usually those where an episode is set, form the basis of the puns, for example 'To Kilimanjaro Bird' is a combination of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird and the name of the mountain Kilimanjaro 'Kenya Be My Friend' & 'Catch Me if you Kenya' feature the name of Kenya, Africa.
