MASTER (skipping into LENA’s room): Guess what?
LENA: WHAT?! (pulls out her earbuds, annoyed, with her annoying annoyed face)
MASTER (his face lighting up, as well as his fluffy hat): It’s the 29th episode! Can you believe it?
LENA (rolling her eyes): How could I forget? (She drawls on with a sarcastic tone) The 29th episode of… (she pauses and her eyes widen)…Mellow Yellow?
MASTER is in an animal-like trance, his hat on his back like a turtle shell. He chuckles, ignoring LENA in his joy. LENA briefly wonders why it’s called Mellow Yellow.
LENA: Master? Are you okay?
KYR (suddenly appearing): Master’s favorite number is twenty-nine. He goes back to his caveman instincts on the 29th of each month.
LENA (raising an eyebrow): It’s the 22nd.
KYR: Precisely.
LENA (shaking her head and deciding to move on): Kyr…you’re pretty smart. Do you know why our show is called Mellow Yellow?
KYR: You don’t know? (laughs)
UNKNOWN VOICES: We know!
The unknown voices are revealed to be TICK and TOCK, the two sticking their heads out the door.
LENA (hungry for answers): Why?
TOCK: Precisely.
TICK falls asleep.
MASTER (revived from his trance): You guys don’t know anything?
LENA (screaming): PRECISELY! Now, why is it called Mellow Yellow?
MASTER: According to Wikipedia, Mello Yello is a highly caffeinated, sugar-filled, citrus drink. As a group we are also a highly caffeinated, sugar-filled citrus drink, so to avoid copyright violations I named this thing Mellow Yellow.
TICK, TOCK, LENA, and KYR: That makes sense.

I’ve never actually questioned it. But I thought it was referring to the phrase “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”

I feel like Mellow Yellow would coincide with the brown.

What do you mean? Mellow Yellow coincides with cupcakes. With sprinkles.
