“ | Oh my god, Pen! That's a pentagon! | ” |
A pentagon is an arctic blue piece of paper with 5 sides. It is apparently "extremely scary", according to Eraser.
Coverage[]
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Pen shows Eraser what he believes is a rectangle. Eraser then corrects him by saying it's a parallelogram, and he would know (since he is a parallelogram, too). Pen then shows Eraser a pentagon, and Eraser is immediately terrified. Pen doesn't notice Eraser's fear and instead comments on how "Pentagon" is his name (Pen) with "-tagon" added as a suffix. Eraser explains that pentagons are "extremely scary". Pen doesn't think it was that scary until the pentagon intensifies causing both of them to scream. They call Blocky to fix the problem, who uses Saw to cut the pentagon into a quadrilateral and a triangle. Pen comments on how he never wants to see a pentagon again.
Trivia[]
- The pentagon has the ability to make the world around it darker and to make the music playing more intense and shake on its own.
- However, this could just be in Eraser and Pen's imagination, as Blocky and Saw don't seem to notice the change. This could suggest that pentagons are not that scary, but that Eraser and Pen have an irrational fear of them.
- Pen and Eraser being scared of the Pentagon could be related to the Pentagram/Pentacle which is seen as a sign of anarchism.
- The Pentagon is the second item to appear in BFB.
- After Pen says he doesn't ever want to see a pentagon again, the camera pans to Foldy, who happens to look like a pentagon but is actually a hexagon, and has the same color palette as the pentagon.
