Timmy was the
professor's assistant on one of the
itchy and scratchy type spots on the early 90's show the
Dinosaurs. His role was very similar to that of
Beaker on
The Muppet Show. The professor would set up Timmy with a dangerous
experiment, and then
Step Behind The Lead Shield.
"Timmy, why don't you pour this nitroglycerine into that blender and turn it on, while I step behind the lead shield."
BOOM
"We're gonna need another Timmy!".
Classic.
