Ahem, per the cartoon, the genie typed "vi", which leaves vi in command mode.
As an emacs user, I'm ctrl-x ctrl-c with this conversation.

Or ZZ, more simple and immediately after typing it you start hearing random ZZ Top song.

The first time I got stuck in VI, cell phones didn't have internet yet. We were a one computer household. I had printed out some instructions on how to modify XF86 configs. I had tried typing out every version of [ESC] I could come up with.
If it wouldn't have been for VI I would have been into Linux probably a decade earlier. It's now my editor of choice but it probably wouldn't have killed them to detect control x and give you a little hint text somewhere.

It does pop a help message on CTRL C now. Also, Bram sadly died recently. Coincidence?

Is he running his system from something like FAT to make executing VI do something useful?
