Jane! Stop This Crazy Thing!

I was just reading about the Jetsons on Wikipedia and came across this description of George Jetson:
George's personality was that of a well-meaning, caring father, who often was befuddled and stressed out by the problems of both his work and family lives. George only worked 3 hours a day and 3 days a week for a short, tyrannical boss named Cosmo G. Spacely, owner of the company Spacely Space Sprockets.....Daily life was characterized as being comically leisurely due to an incredible sophistication and number of labor saving devices. George's work day consists of pressing a single computer button (or on occasion a series of buttons) on a computer (named RUDI in the 1980s series of Jetsons episodes). Despite this, characters would often complain of travails and difficulties of living with the remaining inconveniences. George's most famous catchphrase is "Jane! Stop this crazy thing!"
Hmmm, Ironic.....Isn't it.
