Who is Emily Azuma?
Tova:
She's just 'zis girl, you know?

I'm sorry but I just don't buy that. Jeph is just escalating it too much.
(Yes, I am know what you're referencing and the reference actually is a self-inversion of the trope; Zaphod Beeblebrox is not by any shade of the imagination 'just this guy'.)
Tova:
I hadn't for a moment expected you to.
I did enjoy the HHTTG reference though.

Sorry for the double post, but I didn't really read the second part properly. And surprise surprise, I don't completely agree. Zaphod does bear comparison to Emily. Yes, Zaphod is outrageous, has two heads, and so on. But when you get down to brass tacks, he really is just this guy, not remotely important. He only survived the Total Perspective Vortex because he got put inside a universe specifically created for that purpose. And he only became President because he was put there, specifically because he was credulous enough to believe that he got there on his merits and that he actually had power.
BenRG:
You are the one that made the comparison (no matter how laterally), not I. I don't think that there are any parallels at all.
