Name a new rocket engine
I've already submitted Engine McEngine Face.
though I suppose that Engie McEngine Face would be better, maybe you can submit that.

Oh, had to answer a load of other stupid questions too. Fine.
Why did you choose it? Please explain in just a few words.
It would mean the engine could have its own theme music.
Let's assume that we need another engine name, e.g. for our third stage engine. What would be a name for it that is in line with your first suggestion?
Thruster in the wind, because it’s also a song involving fuel combustion.

Hang on it doesn't say anything about what the rocket's going to be used for.
They might be looking for something more along the lines of "Death to infidels" and "Allah's Retribution"

Forgive me for getting a bit philosophical for a moment...
I remember in my late teens talking with one of my parent's friends about life in general, and he remarked:
'You keep using the phrase "my generation", like you're all part of the same thing. We never thought like that. Where does this come from?'
I was saying this in the early days of the internet, where we didn't have Facebook/Twitter, but we had forums, instant messaging and text chat in video games. I was growing up with people that didn't live in my street, city or even country.
That was then. This is now. These new generations are not divided by national borders, but by cultures, interests and values, and little could demonstrate this better than an ad-hoc international jam about a noisy cat.

Ren & Stimpy is over 30 years old
and, stylistically, was a bit of a throwback to the 50s/60s/70s.
Of course some modern animation is amazing, but in terms of like-for-like, vintage T&J batters modern mass-market kids' cartoons to death with an unlikely sequence of falling objects.
Modern 3d CG kids' cartoons are charmless, generic and bland. They are clearly made using video game cut scene technology, clearly not up to video game standards, and even the best video game cut scene looks and sounds like absolute crap next to the average vintage Tom & Jerry.
Even good 2d kids' cartoons are rare. Adventure Time is sometimes bearable. DC and Marvel occasionally put out something authentic looking. Usually it's the same garishly coloured charmless blandness as everything else though. Even Disney have scaled back their quality.

That's why I was aiming for a like-for-like comparison with mass market kids cartoons.
Archer stole everything from Venture Bros. And why not? Venture Bros is the best TV show ever.
Groening has style and a big budget, but I'd argue his output tends towards Hannah Barbera minimalism compared to a feature length vintage T&J.

We're going through a bit of a renaissance for cartoons at the moment.
Right now I'm watching "Owl House" with the baby, which is good. Things like "Over the Garden Wall", "Steven Universe", "The Rubbish World of Dave Spud", and "Legend of Korra" blows most of the crap I was watching as a kid out of the water.
I'm comparing it to 90s shit like "James Bond Jr", "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century", "Tailspin", "The Dreamstone", "New Johnny Quest" and "Spider-Man", most of it looked like garbage.

The measure of how offensive a joke is
would you tell it to the face of someone on the sharp end of it?
Would Jimmy Carr walk up to a Gipsy and tell them that joke, and if he did, would you say "well done, Jimmy, nice one." Or would you think he was being a racist cunt.
IMO it's a shit joke. Very lazy. Relies on shock. Punches down. He's capable of much better material.

That’s not true.
We all make jokes about people, family, friends, colleagues, neighbours etc that we would never say to their faces. That doesn’t make it a hate crime.
It does rely exclusively on shock. As shocking as something can be when you’re explicitly and emphatically warned you’re about to be shocked. That’s the point. He’s an edgy taboo buster, it’s what he does and how he got to where he is. People like it.
Perhaps they like it because they’re evil racists that yearn for a second holocaust. Or maybe it’s entertaining to be shocked by even the most basic bait and switch sick joke.
Netflix has stood by Chapelle so they should be ok with Carr. I think we’ll see him grovel very soon in order to keep the channel 4 gig. I think channel 4 will forgive him as they’ve pretty much built their light entertainment schedule around him for a good few years now. But nothing is certain.

I just don't think it's very funny
that's my main objection.
Edit, also it's about context and audience. My ex is one of the most PC people on earth and it became a running joke between us to think up the most offensive jokes we could, because we knew neither one believed any of it. It's using language to wind people up, but it only works if it's "captive." If you release it out into the wild it's different.
If you put something out on a Netflix then you lose the ability to control the context. In a venue you can build up to an offensive joke, lay careful groundwork, subvert it and turn back on the audience. Once you put something in a download it can be taken out of context. Carr knows better.

Not really
if it's offensive, it also has to be very, very good. If you're going to go face-to-face with the object of your joke, then either make it so good they'll laugh with you, or offending them is your aim.
I have jokes about politicians, these jokes are deeply offensive, I'd love to tell them to them in person. I have been the butt of many jokes in an audience but if the comedian is good and the routine/joke is well written it'll make me laugh.
