      I’m not sure if I could even name ten distinct Goa’uld off the top of my head

      1. Ba’al
      2. Apophis
      3. Osiris
      4. Isis
      5. Hathor
      6. Seth
      7. Ares
      8. Yu
      9. Heru’ur (sp.?)
      10. Was Ra a Goa’uld?

    For non Stargate fans, with only a slight idea of what it’s about, could you (or anyone else) explain the joke?

      • The main antagonists in Stargate SG-1 are the Goa’uld, a species of parasitic aliens. Each Goa’uld we encounter is named after a god from some Earth mythology
      • One of the major villains in the series is Ba’al, a Goa’uld who is introduced in season 5 and continues to make several appearances throughout the rest of the series
      • In season 9, Ba’al clones himself. Throughout the rest of the series, the protagonists have to deal with countless clones who are just as intelligent and ruthless as the original Ba’al
      • Saying “Ba’al” here as an answer could technically refer to dozens of different individuals in the show at once. Granted, there is technically only one real original Ba’al who is not a clone.
