#he resembles that one perfect guys on a spongebob episode

[conspiraciesrevealed-blog]

TV show conspiracy theories that will mess you up.

Spongebob Squarepants: "The existence of Spongebob and his strange friends is the result of radiation from nuclear arms testing that was performed on the Bikini Atoll in the late 40's and early 50's. Since they live under the atoll, the town is known as 'Bikini Bottom'." 

  The Smurfs: "All of the Smurfs wear white hats that resembled KKK hoods, except for the Grand Wizard of the smurfs, Papa Smurf, who wears a red hood.They live in perfect harmony, but are constantly under threat from the evil big-nosed Jew, Gargamel, who wants to use them for his own twisted enrichment."

Pokemon: Pokemon is a pretty trippy show even without conspiracy theories being thrown in the mix, but of course...there is one. The theory goes that the Pokemon universe doesn't really exist; that Ash is really in a coma and dreaming all of it. The other side of this theory is that Ash is just crazy and the Pokemon and events of the show are all delusional projections inside the head of the show's main character.

The Fairly Oddparents: Another show that is strange enough without throwing theories into the mix; The Fairly Oddparents could be hiding a dark secret. According to popular theory, Cosmo and Wanda are really just metaphors for Zoloft and Prozac. The theory kind of makes sense considering they only show up when Timmy is in distress, they're only going to be around until Timmy doesn't need them anymore and there are severe consequences for misusing their "magic".

The Teletubbies: Never mind what follows next: microphones pop out of the ground and chant, "time for Teletubbies" about a dozen times, which led many parents to boycott the shows because they believed it was attempting to brainwash their children.

The Walking Dead/Breaking Bad: These two hugely popular shows may well be linked by more than just a voice over connection. They may well be prequels and sequels to each other and it all has to do with the blue crystal meth.At the end of Breaking Bad, Walter White’s extra pure blue crystal meth is sweeping the country and is growing in popularity. However, many people believe that there is a major catch to this product and that catch is the meth kills you and then brings you back in a zombie-like state, thus leading to a Walking Dead-like existence.Throughout The Walking Dead there are a few Breaking Bad references, plus the blue crystal meth can clearly be seen in bags of other drugs. There is also the red Dodge Challenger that is very similar to Walter White’s car. On top of that, Merle Dixon describes a previous drug dealer as a little white guy who uses the term bitch. Surely that’s all the evidence we need.

The Simpsons:  Over the years The Simpsons have had many adventures and stories but there are some sharp eyed viewers that believe The Simpsons have predicted many major disasters, the most famous of all is 9/11. In the episode “The City of New York vs Homer Simpson” there are a lot of references to the World Trade Center as well as a newspaper headline that shows the Twin Towers next to a 9. It does look like a large 9/11, and this episode aired in 1997! There was also the ebola outbreak, the British horse meat scandal and so many more. Are they all just coincidences and people looking too hard to try and connect the dots to make sense of it? Or does our favorite yellow family know things we don’t? We suggest going back to watch those early seasons and see how many future references you can spot.

Hannah Montana:  "Robbie Ray, realizing how unlikely it is that a teenager could keep a secret like this, hired a pair of actors back when he first moved to California. They agreed to be Miley's friends and to give her the illusion of a normal life and allow her to slip up and spill the secret without risking it coming out. These actors, playing characters named Lilly Truscott and Oliver Oaken, have been pretending for so long that they are Becoming the Mask."

Lizzie McGuire:  The show documents a schizophrenic girl's adventures in the public school system. The show starts in middle school because middle school usually around the onset of puberty, and schizophrenia often begins to manifest itself around puberty and adolescence,"

Invaders from Space

Apparently 'Earth is saved from incompetent alien invaders by an unattractive bachelor in a stupid superhero costume' was a genre in 60's Japan.  There was Prince of Space, Invasion of the Neptune Men... and here is Invaders from Space, which differs from the other two mostly in that the aliens have different costumes.

So who's menacing the world this week?  Turns out it's the evil Salamander Men of the Planet Kulimon.  Earth is clearly no match for that, so the Emerald Men (whose planet is stated to be two billion miles from us – significantly closer than Pluto) send Star Man and his nifty translator-wristwatch to deal with the situation.  What follows is... episodic, to say the least.  Like Time of the Apes or Mighty Jack, it's been patched together from multiple installments of a series.

In my first draft of this review, I tried to describe the whole plot blow-by-blow in order to emphasize the strangeness and choppy feel of it.  That quickly got way too long, though, so I'll summarize: the Salamander Men attack the Earth with a variety of super-weapons, including a deadly disease, a sound so annoying it melts brains, and a magic wand that changes the Earth's orbit.  Human scientists work very hard to find solutions to these problems, while Star Man just goes around having badly-choreographed pretend fights with whatever nests of Salamanders he can find.

Believe me, that doesn't begin to capture this movie.  Invaders from Space exists on a Robot Monster-like level of illogical storytelling.  The Salamander Men make Phantom of Krankor look like a tactical genius and the Buttplug-Headed Neptunians look well-organized.  We have no idea why they want to invade the Earth, besides a one-off reference to it being 'the richest planet in the universe' – what does that even mean?  Their bio-weapon is a disease spread by dancing.  Their bases on Earth are a giant egg at the bottom of the ocean and a 'castle' that looks like a geegaw you'd buy at a cheap ripoff of Disney's Enchanted Tiki Hut. They hypnotize people by breathing fire at them and escape fight scenes by jumping into the water and exploding.  What am I supposed to say about that?

Star Man himself doesn't make any more sense.  He's a slightly paunchy early-middle-aged guy with panty lines and his nipples visible right through his costume.  His 'ability to disguise himself as an Earthling' is supposedly supernatural but seems to just consist of him putting on a suit and tie.  He's got an antenna on his head that recieves signals from a crystal ball.  All the fight scenes between him and the Salamander men alternate between looking like a circus act or like a couple of broke cosplayers who can't agree on whether Joel or Mike was the best host... when they're not just circling each other as if they're about to tango.

The entire film has a 'then this happened... and then this happened...' kind of feeling to it, as if it's about a series of events that aren't necessarily connected to each other.  Nothing ever seems to escalate, and plot points like the alien disease and a salamander scale some kids find in their house are just forgotten about and never dealt with again.  One kid hallucinates a thunderstorm and this is never explained.  All this makes the movie feel much longer than the seventy-five minutes it actually is, because there's no sense of it going anywhere.  When Star Man punches out Orlando the Super-Salamander underwater and makes him explode (look, I know that sounds like something that would happen in Spongebob Squarepants but I swear to you, it's in this movie) it feels like that ought to be the end, but then we have the attack on the Tiki Geegaw and the movie goes on for another several minutes.

One possible reason for some of these narrative problems is that Invaders from Space is really two episodes of the Super Giants series of short films.  A total of nine minutes was left on the cutting room floor, which may have contained something important, and yet I have a hard time imagining what it could be. After all, if the 'alien disease' plot got a proper ending, why would they cut that while leaving the bizarre dance numbers?  Same with the lost salamander scale... but that plot point is so much smaller than the disease one that I can't imagine why they left it in if it didn't get an ending.  Maybe it had something to do with convincing the scientists that they're facing an alien invasion, which is only a theory in the first part of the movie and then becomes an accepted fact in the second.

What's that you say?  Your brain is stuck on 'dance numbers'?  Yeah, there are a couple of those.  One is some weird tribal thing with fire sticks that the Salamander Men do around three captured children, for no apparent reason besides to terrify them.  The other is the dance show they putting on as a way of spreading their disease, which looks like something a bunch of undergraduate performing arts majors put together and thought was deep and meaningful.  The scientists conclude that dancers with such superhuman agility can only be space creatures, but the actual performance isn't anything special.  There isn't even any wirework to substitute for special.

The hooks where the wires attach to Star Man's back and ass in the flying scenes are clearly visible, by the way.

That brings us to the shoddy and ridiculous costuming.  Star Man's outfit looks like he made it in his basement.  The Salamander Men are more elaborate, with lots of scales and antennae and big lenses over their eyes, but still silly and made of fabric that could have come from the Japanese equivalent of Joann's.  Parts of them have glitter on them.  There were at least a dozen full costumes made for things like the big fights and the scenes in the Salamander Council Chamber, but at times that was still not enough and they had to fall back on the Attack of the The Eye Creatures technique of wearing just the head with a black bodysuit. Shockingly, they had even less shame about this, too – the head-only The Eye Creatures at least stayed behind the bushes, but the head-only Salamander Men are right out in the open.

One thing I can say about Invaders from Space is that the children in it aren't too annoying.  They actually go to the adults when necessary instead of trying to do everything themselves, and they aren't automatically experts on the goings-on like they would be in a Gamera movie.  There's even a pretty awesome bit where one of the kids, having been told that throwing the crystal ball on the ground will summon Star Man, decides to get extra milage out of it by throwing it on the ground via a Salamander Man's teeth.

So the movie is terrible, but like Prince of Space or Robot Monster it's just plain weird enough to be kind of mesmerizing.  There are bits that are insufferably boring, but other parts are laugh-out-loud funny.  There were multiple moments when I thought I'd found the perfect stinger for the end of the hypothetical MST3K episode, only to have it topped a few minutes later.  My current choice would be the part where the Salamander Men summon their greatest scientist to stop the Earth's rotation by waving their arms and chanting what sounds like, “Orlando, Come!” but that'll probably change the next time I watch the movie.  I mean, there's also that amazing bit where one of them sighs and says, in a disappointed voice, “I thought we were indestructible... but we're not.”

I'm not sure if there's any actual analysis that can be done on this movie.  If Invaders from Space has anything to say, it's buried too deep in the weird shit for me to tease it out.  One thing I did learn from looking the film up on Wikipedia is that Star Man's Japanese name is Super Giants, which is weird because there's only one of him and he appears to be no more than slightly tallish. Also, the Salamander Men are called Kapia-Seijin, or Kappa-People.  A 'kappa' is a Japanese water monster, said to be scaly with large eyes and webbed feet, that lives in swamps and lures people in to drown.  I can certainly see the resemblance between that and the Salamander Men, and possibly some of the stranger things they do originate in odd bits of kappa mythology.

(Speaking of odd bits of kappa mythology, the Wikipedia page for the creature includes a Japanese woodcut that appears to show an old man driving kappa away by farting at them.  I'm glad that wasn't in the movie.)

I suppose one thing we can get from this movie is that while the Emerald Men and Star Man may be our super-powered protectors, even they couldn't save the Earth alone.  The final blow was delivered by the humans, after we discovered that Salamander Men melt when exposed to copper sulfate (I choose to believe that the puddles left behind afterwards are bright blue).  The aliens, like the gods, help those who help themselves.

In the final analysis I'm not sure whether I'd recommend this one or not.  I still haven't made up my mind if I like it or not, never mind whether anybody else will.  It's not enjoyable in the way true bad movie classics like Space Mutiny and Starcrash are, where you just laugh your way through the whole thing.  At the same time, it's definitely not Monster A-Go-Go unwatchably dull, either.  If you like weird Japanese movies, you'll probably want to take a look at it – if you don't, avoid it like the dancing Salamander plague.

10 This Is Us Memes That Will Have You Dying Of Laughter – Screen Rant

Laughter may not be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to reacting to an episode of tear-jerker This Is Us. It features very real struggles that audiences of various backgrounds can relate to. There’s not much of a chance you can get through an episode without crying unless you’ve rendered yourself numb beyond human capacity. It’s a crime, really, how emotional every episode makes us.

At least it gives us a good cry every week to let out whatever we may be holding onto. Still, there are some funny aspects about the show, such as these 10 memes of which will have you dying of laughter.

10 Waterproof Mascara Fail

Just look at how melted that SpongeBob popsicle is. It’s actually disturbing, especially with the melted teeth stretched out enough to resemble fangs and the eyes looking like black holes. The funny thing is, a melted SpongeBob popsicle is an apt example of how we must look after an episode of This Is Us. 

Let’s face it: it’s just not a pretty picture. Good thing it’s close to Halloween, because if you watch an episode and just leave your look as is, you’ll be able to scare a few trick-or-treaters.

9 Bad Romance

Hopefully watching This Is Us each week isn’t sending you too far off the deep end. In this particular example, it’s insinuated that it may be encouraging you to develop bad habits. Namely, participating in what you know is a doomed relationship.

This analogy is rather perfect considering the circumstances of the show itself; you know you’re going to be a wreck during and after every episode. So why do we keep going back to it? It’s like a bad relationship–we just can’t get enough!

8 Excuses, Excuses

If only this were a valid excuse, right? For many people, they’d give anything to have a good reason to get out of work. Wouldn’t you rather spend the day shopping, having fun, or just sitting at home and taking a permanent seat on the couch to watch Netflix?

Or, as this meme says, tell your boss there’s been a death in the family and skip out? Jack’s (Milo Ventimiglia) death hit us all very deeply on a personal level; the quintessential father and husband didn’t deserve to die, especially so tragically. We’ll forever be grieving over this marvel of a man.

7 Milo’s Fanbase

Milo didn’t always play Jack Pearson. He had roles on other shows, obviously. One of those shows was beloved fan-favorite Gilmore Girls, in which he played Jess Mariano, the rebellious and angsty teenage nephew of Luke Danes (Scott Patterson).

Fans that have been watching him since his days as Jess have only fallen more in love with his characters (or perhaps Milo himself) over the years, especially when he began playing the lovable role of Jack. Funnily enough, Jack is the complete opposite of Jess. Like most actors, Milo has a wide range of acting capabilities, and we’re glad he was given a shot on This Is Us.

6 Where’s Jack!?

One of the best things about this show is that its actors participate in the fanbase. Look at them here; this was exactly what our faces looked like to find out that Rebecca (Mandy Moore) was no longer with Jack and had moved on to Miguel (Jon Huertas). Miguel may be a good guy but he isn’t Jack. It’s no question as to why fans were outraged.

Granted, we later found out why Jack was no longer in the picture, but many fans would almost prefer that Rebecca remain single forevermore, lest her relationship with Jack be forgotten because she married another man. She moved on, which is what Jack would have wanted. Acceptance isn’t easy, so we’ll wear these shocked faces a little longer.

5 What I Think I Look Like When…

Yes, sometimes we get a little too invested in TV shows. We watch TV to wind down from our own days, our own realities. It’s one of the most common methods of escapism we have, and when we find others who love the same TV shows as much as we do, well, a fandom is born. Following a show so closely that you debate with others over what symbols mean or what a character really meant when they said something, you know you’ve gone too far.

Or have you? Is there such a thing as going too far? You can love something, but where is the line drawn before it hits a point of obsession? Apparently if you’re the guy on the right in this meme, you’re a little too obsessed.

4 The Saddest TV Deaths, Ranked

Okay, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) vs. Jack Pearson. This is a tough one to debate. Grey’s Anatomy and This Is Us fans may just have one of the most intense duels ahead of them. Each man has equally made his impact in television history.

Each man was beloved by their communities. Even people who haven’t watched one or both shows have heard the names of these men somewhere. They’re just that significant. Who’s to say whose death was the saddest? The world may never know…

3 In The Beginning…

Remember way back in the day, or perhaps even recently, when you sat down to watch an episode of This Is Us to see what all the hubbub was about?

RELATED: This Is Us: 10 Things That Need To Happen Over The Next 3 Seasons

You’d heard about it a zillion times from your friends, your family, or perhaps even your co-workers. You decided you’d give it a try so you’d at least have some idea of what they were talking about. You didn’t really see the point until you got through the whole episode and understood everything so clearly. You would do anything for the Pearsons, simple as that. They are the kind of family, fictional or not, that make you feel like family even if they don’t know you. That’s why we love them so much, and that’s why this meme is so funny: it’s the truth.

advertising

2 Halfway Into The Episode Like…

If this doesn’t accurately capture how you look and feel halfway into an episode, we don’t know what does. We love that we have Donna (Lara Flynn Boyle) from Twin Peaks ugly crying in the background (she’d just learned of her best friend’s death at that moment) because hello, that is so us.

You think you can keep it together, but the show throws you in for a loop and proves you wrong. Better to accept it than try to fight it.

1 Making Husbands And Fathers Look Bad Since 2016

Jack Pearson has created a new level of standards for husbands and fathers. Husbands beware: if your wives are watching, they’re unconsciously (or maybe purposefully) trying to get you to be the next Jack Pearson. Who wouldn’t want a Jack, after all? He’s loving, caring, and pretty much a modern-day superhero.

The “Big Three” are lucky to have a father like him, and Rebecca’s lucky she had him for a husband, even though their time was sadly cut short. All hail Jack Pearson!
