WWI Simple Version: I like it for its humour, but there's some discrepancy between events depicted here and events as taught in Canada's school systems. The USA likes to claim that they were the deciding factor in ending the World Wars, but they weren't, at least not for WWI. In WWI, the Allies had basically already won by the time the US joined in. What they did do was allow for a big final push, ending the war much earlier than would otherwise be possible and probably reducing everybody's casualties by half. When they decided to join in it probably still looked like it could go either way (or possibly even favouring the Axis Powers), but by the time their war machine had spooled up to operational status, the war was won, not that everyone isn't thankful to the US for saving time and lives.
And WWII Simple Version is more factually correct (the USA refused to involve itself militarily (its merchant marine and weapons manufacturing were involved from the start) until some damnfool Japanese thought it would be a good idea to bomb Pearl Harbor, at which point the US decided it was time for frequent and gratuitous application of excessive force) but it doesn't seem as funny.
I liked the Papio giganteum and intergalactic backorder, too.
