Magic Xylophone 

1. A question about a detail of a fictional story that is so trivial, the people who wrote said story certainly did not think about it.

2. A question asked about a fictional story by someone who is overly focused on the literal happenings of the plot instead of its themes, emotional affect, etc.

Taken from a Simpsons episode where a nerd inquires about the physics of a cartoon cat’s rib cage being played like a xylophone

1. “ In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.”

2. “I mean, I just don’t understand how there can be explosions in space in Star Wars when there’s no oxygen...”

“Shut up dude, stop talking about Magic Xylophones”
