Quotes
“ | SRL Splatfest Research Team here with new findings! The 11th Splatfest theme will be "What's your go-to greeting? Handshake, fist bump, or hug?" As scientists, we're disappointed that "terse nod" was left out, but we'll observe from 4 PM PT on 11/17 to 4 PM PT on 11/19 anyway. | ” |

---|---|---|
Shiver “What's your go-to greeting? A handshake, a fist bump, or a hug?” |
Frye “Ooo! This one's so easy. We're all gonna be on the same team, right? FIST BUMP!” |
|
Shiver “Nah. Fist bumps were invented five minutes ago. Handshakes are elegant and timeless.” |
Frye “Know what else was invented five minutes ago? Air fryers! New stuff rocks!” |
|
Big Man “Ay. Ay! (I dunno, Frye. What's better than a hug? They can't invent a better hug!)” |
||
Shiver “Do you really want to hug EVERYONE? A handshake is just a pocket-sized hug.” |
||
Shiver “It's perfectly polite, and you don't have to get close to especially strange strangers.” |
Big Man “Ay... Ay! (Awww... Sounds like someone NEEDS a hug!)” |
|
Frye “Big Man's whole body IS a hug, so I get it. For the rest of us, fist bumps are cool.” |
||
Shiver “As cool as those blue fingers of yours? A warm handshake could defrost them...” |
||
Frye “Look who's talking fingers! Yours might not be so burnt if you cooked with an air fryer!” |
||
Big Man “Ay? Ay. (Wait-is the theme air fryers versus fingers? I wanna sit this one out.)” |
||
Frye “No! It's totally weak handshakes versus awesome fist bumps versus kinda OK hugs.” |
||
Shiver “How impartially put.” |
||
Big Man “Ay. Ay? (You know, fist bumps are exciting. But what if you don't have fists?)” |
||
Frye “Fin bumps are cool! Work with what you got!” |
||
Big Man “Ay? Ay. (See? That's why I could just hug you.)” |
||
Shiver “OK-fist bumps are cool, hugs are warm and loving. I get it. But this is your GO-TO!” |
||
Shiver “Personally, I'd save the fist bumps for you, Frye. And the warm hugs for Big Man.” |
||
Shiver “Strangers in Splatsville? Opening acts? Fans after the show? I'm shaking hands.” |
||
Frye “And I'm bumpin' fists. BOOYAH!” |
||
Big Man “Ay... (I'm still hugging everyone that I possibly can...)” |
||
Shiver “That settles it-we're completely at odds. Good thing we can let the Splatfest decide!” |
