This is a sports-culture parody inspired by Underdog.

Cyclonus and Rodimus were rival robots who were debating about the wisdom of retreating to an island and living alone forever now that the underdog Philadelphia Eagles (NFL) had pulled off the greatest upset in sports history by defeating the seemingly-indomitable New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 [Sunday February 4, 2018]! Cyclonus and Rodimus disagreed about everything but they did agree that modern media hysteria made people feel claustrophobic, so they considered the weight of this meditation --- to retreat from society after a Super Bowl underdog victory just might generate too much silly media hoopla.
Cyclonus and Rodimus talked about an idyllic beach off the coast of Thailand which would serve as an 'oasis' from which they could at least mentally escape all their woes (and frustration with modern civilization). This beach was very scenic and lush but was as of yet undiscovered, so Cyclonus and Rodimus considered the wisdom of 'hiding' from all sentient beings by just living on the island and swimming off its coast (in the beautiful water!). Cyclonus and Rodimus realized that the Super Bowl (and all its media confetti) reminded people of the reality of modern-day marketing-gauged social consciousness (e.g., sports-bars, Black Friday, steroids, etc.).
CYCLONUS: Man is truly an island...
RODIMUS: No, but civilization is certainly suffocating!
CYCLONUS: The modern city is a smog-pipe...
RODIMUS: Perhaps, but maybe the island reminds us of humility!
CYCLONUS: Humility? Americans care about celebrity only.
RODIMUS: Not true; Americans also care about the Red Cross.
CYCLONUS: Even the Red Cross hires celebrities for ads...
RODIMUS: Well, marketing never hurts in capitalism!
CYCLONUS: Maybe this island will remind us of art.
RODIMUS: Without an audience, is there art at all?
CYCLONUS: Sure! What about self-portraits?
RODIMUS: Maybe the island will remind us of the value of privacy!
CYCLONUS: Everyone needs time alone after the Super Bowl, eh?
RODIMUS: They should make home-schooling a standard in capitalism.
