3Portraying a future "..when pigs fly!"? That's funny enough, in & of itself to justify invoking (TV tropes warning) the Rule of Funny. So, basically what @ElliottFrisch commented.– Andrew ThompsonCommented Dec 9, 2016 at 2:18

1Because they were so annoying that they gave them a ship and sent it away from earth. Unfortunately, the pigs took control and overwhelmed the auto-pilot, who they turned into bacon and ate. Now they have a ship.– CHEESECommented Dec 9, 2016 at 16:58

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
