I saw a post (it was about Barbie princess and the pauper, but omg what a classic) and it said to bring back animated bloopers.
And by the gods would I give ANYTHING for a helluva boss short that's just animated bloopers from all the episodes.
Like Blitz fumbling his fucking gun. Stolas laughing and forgetting his lines. Moxxie messing up a word and Millie jokingly mocking him and everyone laughing. Loona in that one fight scene of Truth seekers when she's shooting that pink gun but instead accidentally says, "DIE MOTHER FLUFFERS" or some shit.
More that could happen:
Stella almost backhanding Stolas in that scene but before he can catch her arm she pulls it back and says, "I'm sorry, it's just so scary I don't want to!"
Octavia in loo loo land going, "Are you gonna leave him, I mean- me" and Stolas laughing. blitz from the background "HE BETTER NOT".
Striker saying, "Come on Blitz, we could be the biggest power couple in hell"
Blitz laughs, "That wasn't your line".
"But it made you hard huh"
"You FUCKR IM GONNA YEET YOU".
Then there's OZZIE AND FIZZ. The unlimited fucking animated bloopers potential with those two. Even with fucking Mammon would be hilarious.
Blitz and Fizz in their friend stance in front of those clown twins and instead of looking cool, Blitz throws his glasses and they fucking hit some person with the camera. Fizz covering his mouth cause he's trying not to laugh.
You have no idea how much I need this guys.

Seren's Studies: Odd Squad UK -- "The Other Ozzie" Episode Followup, Part 2
Look, I'm not gonna lie...whoever said this episode was good is someone I'm gonna smack. Because my lower body is screaming from dashing to McDonald's, but my hands are primed.
I kid, I kid. I will not smack anyone. But let's see what happens after the break anyway.
Okay, when I said in my followup for "Oddtober the Thirteenth" that this was gonna fuck with the timeline, I said it with "it's not actually gonna happen, right?" confidence.
WELL GUESS THE FUCK WHAT IT'S FUCKING WITH THE TIMELINE AND FUCK YOU JON. KA-CHOW YOUR WAY INTO THE CANNON.
Halfway in, I'm getting the unsettling feeling that, much like Marty Marmalade was previously, Oz is meant to be an audience surrogate for all the kids who can't figure this shit out. Not as strictly as Marty was, but the sentiment is still very much there.
Sorry, Orli, but this episode you're getting dethroned.
"Without a script, I'm useless."
"But you're...you're reciting lines from a script right now."
"No, no. I need the script in my hand. That's how this works, I'm afraid."
"You know what I'm going to say, don't you, Agent Onit?"
"Can I just tell you the name of the place? Without giving you the coordinates?"
"I understand you need to tell them for the math lesson, but give me the name of the place first."
"...The writers are breathing down my ne-"
"JUST DO IT."
No no no. If you were green, you'd be de- stop. Stop it. STOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHP-
In which Oz finally learns about autonomy as a member of the Homo sapiens species.
And still botches it up anyway because...uh...
I dunno, can I headcanon him as autistic? Is...can I do that? Because the more I think about it, the more I start to do an "oh my God, I can relate" DiCaprio point.
This "I'm not good with faces" bit isn't really funny to me. Again, you can have a gag, but there's a difference between spacing it out and using it for everyone. When you do the latter, it's a very irritating inconvenience.
Wh- since fucking when? He's cartoonish, sure, but that doesn't exactly translate to being fast.
Jon, my guy, you're going up there with the ranks of Omar and Tasha and I don't like that.
So if he gets a bunch of ideas at once, will he get a migraine? Will his head and brain explode in a big gory mess?
Yeeeeeeeeah, an exciting chase to catch the villain! ...That will only last for less than a minute.
Won't get fooled again...until I'm fooled again.
Now, see, this portal effect is cool. It looks like glittery slime. I like it.
Timetastrophe? Jon's never heard of he.
Seriously, I devised better rules in The Odd Squad Council and yes that is a shameless self-plug and no I don't regret anything.
Ahhhhhh, here it is. The famous blooper reel of the episode. The blooper reel that we really should have gotten for the entire franchise.
Honestly, we should have gotten this dramatic announcer guy a good 8 years ago when they were advertising the first movie.
Okay, I was half-expecting this, but my attention's really more on how Orby is just Orli with glitter scrunchies. (And Oz is just Ozzie with sunglasses, but y'know, that's a little bit besides my point.)
Like I said, this is the blooper reel we should have gotten for the franchise, but instead get tacked onto the end of a decent-but-also-terrible episode.
If you're willing to film BTS content, you're willing to share the blooper reel. Make that a hashtag!
EVEN THE ANNOUNCER GUY IS FUCKIN' FED UP WITH THIS SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh God...I wasn't expecting to cackle but this was an absolutely beautiful cherry on top.
Guy who knows autonomy, meet a girl who doesn't.
And your credits for this episode. Real shame they didn't give the Mayor a name like with Mackelmore, but I call him Ryan Lewis and I'm fandom founder so you have to listen to-
------------------------------------
Overall, this was...a hard pill to swallow. Between the board of villains and...well...Oz, this episode is not one I'm particularly fond of. I feel like if they explored a bit more of the Movie Star Dimension instead of staying in the world we know, it would have been better. The way it is now, it seems more like they're trying to shove a unique concept in there but failing to make it actually unique aside from Oz himself.
And speaking of Oz...enough with the damn Math Lady memes. I'm like the "stop talking about Among Us" guy but it's "stop doing Math Lady". Get with the times, boomers.
Well, now that that's over, we've reached the finale, kicking things off with "Three is the Oddest Number", which will introduce the Terrible Three. Confidence not inspired in me, but I have a small sliver of hope. Just a small one.
Seren out!

You reblogging that post about FNAF bloopers has made me think of Sonic movie bloopers specifically. Imagine Sonic trying to jump onto the drone and completely missing and falling on the ground and just fucking wheezing with laughter
AISJJDJWIJD YEAH MAN I LOVE THOSE
-Robotnik dancing and just fuckin slips at one point
-They go to check the kitchen and Ozzie’s eating the cake
-During the slo mo bar scene there’s this one guy in the background who’s just walking around in normal speed
-Sonic falling off the tire swing and just fucking dies laughing
-Tom misses the ring throw and just hits robotnik in the face
-“SnooPING AS usual, I see.”
-Robotnik introduction scene but Ozzie comes out of the van
-Sonic messes up at one point and says “dad” instead of “donut lord.” A full minute of awkward silence
-“That better not be your mothership.” “I dunno anything about a ship but my mother died, so-” “*wheezing* DUDE”

Unplanned blooper with the Tails plushy is that Ozzie takes off with it, then curls up with and cuddles it. They edit Tails into that unplanned scene as well due to it being adorable.
Ngl, that's actually pretty cute to think about.

Lucy Gets Her Diploma
S6;E5 ~ October 9, 1967
Synopsis
When Lucy finds out the bank has a new policy of only employing high school graduates, she must go back to school to get her diploma in order to keep her job.
Regular Cast
Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Gale Gordon (Theodore J. Mooney)
Roy Roberts (Mr. Cheever) and Mary Jane Croft (Mary Jane Lewis) do not appear in this episode, although Mr. Cheever is mentioned.
Guest Cast
Doris Singleton (Doris) created the role of Caroline Appleby on “I Love Lucy,” although she was known as Lillian Appleby in the first of her ten appearances. This is the second of her two appearances on “The Lucy Show.” She will also be seen on four episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”
Doris has very little to do with the main plot of this episode. This scene might have been originally meant for Mary Jane but reassigned to Lucy’s old friend Doris Singleton due to a conflict in Croft’s schedule or illness.
Lucie Arnaz (Patty Martin) was the real life daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. She previously appeared on “The Lucy Show” as Cynthia, a friend of Lucy’s daughter Chris. She also did background appearances, most recently with her brother Desi Jr. in “Lucy at Marineland” (S5;E1). She will do one more credited episode of “The Lucy Show” before becoming a regular on “Here’s Lucy.”
Arnaz met her future husband Phil Vandervort (Alan) filming this episode. The two were married from 1971 to 1977. Patty’s surname is not mentioned in the dialogue.
Dave Willock (Mr. Willock, Math Teacher) has more than 200 screen credits including the film classics What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) and Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964). This is his only appearance opposite Lucille Ball.
The character is credited only as ‘Math Teacher’ but referred to as 'Mr. Willock’ in the scene.
Sean Morgan (Johnny Harris) played Sean on “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” from 1964 to 1966. Morgan was sometimes seen on the Desilu series’ “Star Trek” and “Mannix.” He will also make an appearance on “Here’s Lucy” in 1969.
Donald Randolph (History Teacher) started his screen acting career in 1946 and appeared in the Hitchcock classic Topaz (1969). This is his only appearance opposite Lucille Ball.
Olive Dunbar (Biology Teacher) turns up as a Librarian in a 1970 episode of “Here’s Lucy.” Dunbar passed away in February 2017 at age 91.
Barbara Babcock (English Teacher) is probably best remembered for playing Grace Gardener on “Hills Street Blues” (1981-87) for which she won an Emmy Award. She was also a regular on “Dallas” (1978-82) as Liz Craig. This is her only dramatic appearance with Lucille Ball.
Amy Appleton (Amy) according to IMDB, this is Appleton’s only screen credit.
Robert Pine (Steven Josephs, left) has more than 200 screen credits to his name. He is the real-life father of actor Chris Pine. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball.
Phil Vandervort (Alan, right) makes the first of his two appearances on “The Lucy Show.” He also does 3 episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”
Vandervort met his future wife Lucie Arnaz (Patty Martin) while filming this episode. The two were married from 1971 to 1977.
George E. Carey (Mr. Potter, Principal) was seen in the 1967 low budget film Riot on Sunset Strip, which dealt with the famous Curfew Riots. “The Lucy Show” also dealt with this event (albeit comically) in “Viv Visits Lucy” (S5;E15).
The character is credited only as 'Principal’ but referred to in the dialogue as 'Mr. Potter.’ Potter was the maiden name of Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance) on “I Love Lucy.”
Roy Rowan (TV Announcer, uncredited) was the off-camera announcer for every episode of “I Love Lucy” as well as “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy.” He was also the voice heard when TV or radio programs were featured on the plot of all three shows. His first on-camera appearance was in “Lucy Takes Up Golf” (S2;E17).
The other high school students are played by uncredited background performers.
This episode was filmed on June 29, 1967. It was written by Ray Singer and Milt Josefsberg. A script from this episode later turned up with handwritten notes from Lucille Ball about the episode’s writing:
“I expected more comedy from me after I went to school, not just from the jibes of the kids — I think we’ll throw away a good opportunity if you don’t see me trying hard at something — somehow, I’m too goody-goody doing everything right. Too much preaching from the minute I get there — too soon for preaching. Gotta save it — goof a bit & then get in your sermons — I don’t have to be teacher’s pet from start to finish & that’s why it ain’t funny — schmaltzy yes, but not funny. Talk to you later.”
On the official Season 6 DVD package, one of the extras is this episode with a dubbed Italian soundtrack. There is also a completely different title sequence that features a neon design and the theme music from seasons 2 and 3.
The day this episode was filmed (June 29, 1967) Jayne Mansfield was killed in an automobile crash at age 34. Only a month earlier saw the release of A Guide for the Married Man, in which both she and Lucille Ball had cameos. It was her last film appearance.
The day this episode first aired (October 9, 1967) Che Guevara, who had led the Cuban Revolution, was assassinated in Bolivia. The Cuban Revolution was about to come to a head when Desilu crews were in Cuba to film second unit footage and establishing shots to be used in “Lucy Takes a Cruise to Havana” (1957). Producer Desi Arnaz, who fled the oppressive Cuban government in the 1930s, ordered his team to get whatever footage they could and get out.
Lucille Ball also never graduated high school. She left to go to Drama School in New York City. In 1989 she was to receive an honorary degree from Jamestown Community College (which she financially supported) but passed away before the ceremony.
In Lucy’s apartment, Doris wants to watch The Slimy Monster from Outer Space on TV, but Lucy is obliged to watch an interview with Mr. Mooney on a public service program instead. When Mr. Mooney calls himself “Thoughtful, compassionate, considerate, kind” Lucy’s TV promptly explodes! The next morning Lucy tells Mr. Mooney what happened and says she can’t wait for the summer rerun. Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball are largely credited with the concept of 'reruns’ in series television.
In Biology class, Lucy is asked to explain the skeletal system, which, of course, she does in song. “Dem Bones” (also called “Dry Bones” and “Dem Dry Bones”) was composed by James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938) although some sources also credit his brother, J. Rosomond Johnson. It was first recorded by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928.
After Steve pours itching powder down her back, Lucy recites Hamlet’s soliloquy. The line “Ay, there’s the rub” is particularly funny in this new context as Lucy seeks relief by rubbing up against the chalkboard.
Lucy is attending Wilshire High School whose motto is 'Seek Honor Through Service.’ This seems to be a fictional high school, although there was a Wilshire Junior High School in Fullerton, California.
During her honorary valedictorian speech, Lucy says that her generation was famous for fads like swallowing live goldfish and seeing how many kids can fit into one phone booth. Both of these are actual stunts popular with students in the 1920s and 30s. Lucy also compares the music of today with that of her generation, which had such important tunes as “The Hut-Sut Song,” “Mairzy Doats (and Dozy Doats)” and “Three Little Fishies (Itty Bitty Poo).” Again, all three are actual novelty songs from the 1930s and 40s. In closing, Lucy quotes Socrates. The speech is purposely dramatic and inspirational rather than comic. Lucy’s initial assessment of the script is right on target: Schmaltzy.
Callbacks!
Back in Danfield, Lucy went 'back to school’ (night school courses) in “Lucy and Viv Take Up Chemistry” (S1;E26).
Lucy also has to publicly deal with itching when she has an allergic reaction at a fancy soiree in “My Fair Lucy” (S3;E20).
Blooper Alerts!
Lucy supposedly didn’t graduate high school because of measles during the final exams, but this directly contradicts the premise of “Lucy’s College Reunion” (S2;E11) in which she returns to her alma mater, (fictional) Milroy University. “The Lucy Show” was notoriously inconsistent, perhaps due to the show having so many writers.
The portrait of George Washington that turned up behind Mr. Mooney’s desk in “Lucy Gets Trapped” (S6;E2) is hanging in the math classroom.
“Lucy Gets Her Diploma” rates 4 Paper Hearts out of 5
