Until Galaxy Quest I never figured just how weird the concept of fiction would be to describe to a person with no prior experience. It's basically a structured lie that we allow ourselves to be told. If the details of the lie are consistent, we can buy it for a few hours and meet the liar halfway, otherwise the lie is blown and out disbelief shatters. Basically, we like being lied to if we are in on the lie.

Also, Ralph's temper is rarely without cause. In the intro to his game the nicelanders literally bulldoze his home to build their apartment building. He has drat good reasons to be pissed off. Also seeing how Big Gene behaves I'm surprised more characters don't want to throw him out the window. Sounds like fun.
