#this show and their looney tunes ass shenanigans

[alicent-archive]

Rhaenyra really had no plan or speech prepared for Alicent 😭. Her deeply unserious ass just had a thrifted septa robe, a dagger, and a dream.

[njessie]

collected some of my thoughts now that i've had time to think a little more and rewatched some of the last ep

overall, i had a lot of fun with J&J. there were a lot of really great elements and the first few eps especially were so fun with the disguises and ridiculous heist shenanigans interspersed with the heavier/darker elements in the story

i think part of some of the disappointment in the later half is what i wanted the story to do vs. what the story was actually doing and that's fine. there were definitely some elements that would've given the overall story more clarity and really driven the point home but also. it was just a fun show lol

did i think the hangman game was stupid? yes. did i have fun with it? also yes. dickhead/zorry was iconic

still obsessed with the fact that they were making out while boss was trying to figure out his ipad passcode. jackjoke really said fuck this looney tunes ass clown, if we're gonna die, we're gonna die sucking face. icons

i'm glad there was an explanation for rings that wasn't a random supernatural-esque element. i didn't love the horsemen story and think it muddled things a bit but them letting boss think the ring gave him power while it was just another game for them was a better conclusion than a lotr one ring to rule them all style plot would have been

while i found some of the writing/pacing/tone shifts a bit messy something about this show had all the right elements to get me fixated lol. i ended up having a lot of fun week to week, the combo of humour, acting, great cast and characters, and angst really did it for me. the brainworms are real fr lol

story aside, i think i can also just appreciate that this was a passion project for ywpb and that shows and there was fantastic work done, both story and production wise. you can see the hard work that went into J&J and it seems like they had fun making it. i'm sure seeing it come together was super satisfying for everyone involved in the production

Weekly Roundup: Prompts (June 19-June 26)

Fate/Prototype

Considering Misaya Reiroukanseems to have such an affinity for dogs - she seems to be the type to be into petplay. She and Ayaka should have some fun together.

Kara no Kyoukai

shiki imposing the concept of death onto the possibility of being cucked via mikiya framed as her cucking every azaka in every timeline at once

Tsukihime

Turns out the real reason we never saw the Aylesbury Valesti in the Original Tsukihime timeline was because someone built a Tesco's over the ritual point and the giant Dead Apostle Ancestors involved simply couldn't fit inside. Altrouge is not particularly happy with this development, of course.

Melty Blood

Since we have child Sion in FGO now, can we get something with Satsuki and Riesbyfe taking care of her?

Fate/zero

I want to see Iri in yoga pants but with her ass completely missing.

kerry summons his counter-guardian self , grail war speed run ensues. making this a selfcest porn with plot fic is optional

Fate/Stay night

fate stay night but instead of Shirou summoning Saber he summons Castoria. corgi moment.

Saber discovers there are effects to constantly gorging yourself on food, and begins to put on weight. Thankfully Shirou seems to be into BBW and not just UBW

Something with Arthur and Lucius Tiberius

Fem!Shinji from that one gender swap art of Taiga she was in the background of/Fem!Shirou from that same art

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia

Smut, necrophilia Angra has sex with Bazett's dead body

Fate/Extra

BB gets punished for her crimes (hacked to run Doom)

Smut, BB gets a computer virus! It's not designed for her OS, so it definitely doesn't do anything to her. ... clothes? What are clothes? She's never heard of clothes before, and if she had, she definitely wouldn't have ever worn them. They'd get in the way of her life's purpose of having a dick up her ass as often as possible!

Smut, Passionlip serves as the Comfiest Seat! Firm abs, soft pillowy chest to lean against, thick cock buried up inside her Master who's now stuck there and paraded around as Passionlip goes about her day like nothing is wrong...

Fate/Apocrypha

mordred should get to stab the people that misgender him.

FGO

Gudao and Ryougi Shiki go on a date (or what he considers a date) and the entire time Shiki talks about how much she loves Mikiya and how she hopes to see him again

Oberon, Castoria, and Muramasa are all handcuffed to each other for a week. Chaos ensures.

Smut, fergus n medb showing emiya some celtic 'hospitality'. while scathach watch. emiya might not survive the night. (framed as cucking cu)

Smut, Gilgamesh and Enkidu explictly framed as cucking Ishtar and being the original base for the concept of cucking as a whole

fou hunts merlin for sport and looney tunes shenanigans ensue

Smut, Dury gay sex with Karna and Ash. Or Arjuna and Bhima. Take your pick.

Smut, i need li shuwen training-turned-fucking ritsuka like i need oxygen. extra love for emphasis on the teaching element.

Wholesome fluff of Mephistopheles baking brownies with Grandma Europa

Jeanne crosses swords with an Avenger class Gilles, who was the result of an alternate history where he never killed any children but was framed by the church to discredit him due to being too strong of a supporter of the holy woman they executed

it turns out that Fou didn't accompany ritsuka & mash to Lb6 because of a hatred of fairies , instead , he got rayshifted to a singularity & now has to clear said singularity himself. since the grail at core of the singularity is his only ticket home , fou semi-reluctantly steps up as a master . note for the prompt filler : the servants & plot of the singularity are largely your call . and if you want to give fou his own mystic codes , i'd recommend fou's attire in the detective fou-mes CE to be his equivalent to ritsuka's atlas academy MC.

We all know how much of a raging mad-on that Penthesilea, the Berserker of El Dorado, has for Achilles. Which means that when Achilles winds up being summoned to Chaldea, the Master has the unenviable task of keeping Chaldea from being torn apart when Penth inevitably learns about her archenemy's arrival.

well parvati's screwed once Kali & durga are summoned.

gudako is trapped in a singularity/lostbelt/situation which can only be escaped by relaxing and taking at least one goddamn break

magi mari handshake event for romani's birthday(he does not question how she got into chaldea in spite of the incineration of humanity or where merlin has gone)

the real dobryna is summoned to chaldea. and turns out the reason he's in the pretender class is because he's not actually a kemonomimi servant , dude's faking it b/c he feels out of place in his family. gudako , upon learning this information proceeds to go get this guy therapy , even if she's gotta carry him to the office herself.

Morgan and Castoria discuss whether the two of them having sex with each other counts as Selfcest or Incest with Guda(gender irrelevant), before saying fuck it and going whole hog without a care. Guda can either leave or join, doesn't really matter.

Gudao crawls into Passionlip’s breasts during a high stress situation and just relaxes, Passionlip covers for him until he’s ready to come out

Da Vinci, Solomon, Sheba and Merlin/Magi Mari all in a polycule

Smut, Melusine after getting caught out in the rain has to ask for help from Barghest to get through Chaldea with her now soaked and transparent clothes. Barghest however now has to deal with the ungodly primordial urge to FUCK her with her cock. Up to the writer if she gives in or not but bonus points if Melusine turns out to be into it and makes it harder for Barghest to resist.

guda after years of training in magecraft manages their first spell: penis blast

Either Morgan somehow makes it back to her Throne at the end of part 2 and ends up slaughtering all the traitors who attacked her in her throne room, before promptly saying "Hey sorry" to Guda and Castoria before they all try negotiations again and work something out. OR. The summonable Morgan sees what the fuckers did to her lostbelt self as well as her adopted daughter, and, with Guda, Castoria and the rest of Chaldea as backup, goes to fuckin town on the fuckers. Neither of these would stop what happens next, but it'd be cathartic.

Koyanskaya of Light is summoned to Chaldea by Ritsuka Fujimaru. However, she got summoned WAY too early, and now has to assist her new Master in preventing the incineration of Proper Human History and resolving the Seven Singularities. This would be a lot easier if she didn't have to constantly worry about her lies about being one of the Tamamo Nine being exposed, or accidentally causing a time paradox or creating a Singularity out of this timeline due to acting on her knowledge of the Future. TLDR; Koyanskaya's misadventures being summoned by a newbie Master. For bonus points, because Alaya CLEARLY has it out for her or something, newbie!Ritsuka somehow also manages to summon both Ashiya Douman and Rasputin, so now Koyanskaya has to keep her coworkers from causing all sorts of mischief, which is distressingly often.

Paper Moon!Lev summoned Lan Ling because he was secure enough in his heterosexuality that he would not be effected by the servant's famous beauty. He was wrong.

in honor of melusine and barghest proving the servants do eat the mats you use on them (or at least some of them), servant mukbang serving embers and such. any servant you want and the stuff they need but i would like to see it. hear what they think of this stuff

Beast Guda but they're not a threat to humanity because their servants become their impulse control and push them away from any ideas that screw over humanity. For example, Guda: "With the amount of grails we have on stock I could wish for paradise for humans!" Morgan: "My husband. You forget those grails are for Melusine and Jack." (They're not she's making it up) Later... Guda: "I'm off to make a singularity to test some things out." EMIYA *with a spray bottle*: "oh no you don't! Oh no you don't!"

The otaku Servants are arguing over whose taste in anime is superior, and things are getting violent. Gudao is called to intervene, but he instead makes things worse because one of those HEATHENS had the gall to insult one of his favorite mecha anime. One thing led to another, and now Chaldea has weekly anime marathon nights, much to the bewilderment of the staff. Unbeknownst to everyone else, this was all planned out from the very beginning, and Gudao was in cahoots with the otaku Servants the entire time.

During a mission with Guda, Saber Gilles is ordered to protect some civilians that are under attack. One of the civilians includes a child, who thanks the servant for saving them. This gives him a lot of mixed feelings.

Smut, Koyanskaya and Murian hot sex. Who says that pleasure can’t mix with business? Bonus points the furrier and larger Koyanskaya is in comparison to Murian tiny body.

Summer Kiara learns that's not what people mean by "fuck the police".

FGO, again

Baobhan Sith was already blindsided by Morgan being married to Guda, but she was especially not prepared to suddenly get a stepsibling, let alone Jack the Ripper. Bonus points for her coming around in the end and loving her little sis.

incest, Can I ask for some Morgan/Baobhan Sith? It doesn't have to be healthy or even requited, I just want fucked up fairy incest.

Blackbeard gets shot out of the chen gong cannon and dies to death

The various child servants (Jack, Paul Bunyan, Voyager, etc.) plan and have a tea party picnic! There's implications of some kind of Abject Chaos in the background that goes uncommented on because the kids aren't involved and are too busy planning their picnic to care.

Mash/Morgan reunion fic but the reason Morgan remembers Mash is that no one else eats her pussy the way Mash does.

Smut, I would give anything to have Guda and Kama gentle/tender sex because that feels accurate for them

Smut, Quetzalcoatl dicking Kukulkan down and Kukulkan laying eggs afterwards

via intense training chadbeard our best bro figures out how to erase shitty memebeard lolicon dirtbag from all realities so we never have to deal with him again

Any fandom

the servant install system from prilya was severely underutilized.

In the vein of legendary machines coming back as Servants, the Titanic comes back and sees this shitshow.

That's All Folks

by ItsMayBiTheWay The scene plays in Alex’s head in full fucking HD. 1080p quality, crystal fucking clear. He can make out the sweat dripping down Henry’s forehead making the golden blonde strands stick to his forehead, lips pink and swollen, bitten in an attempt to muffle all the pretty sounds he wants to let out, his chest heaving, breath hitching with each pump of his fingers. He imagines in his head the way Henry’s dick twitches, leaking precum to his chiseled stomach. Then the snap happens. Henry’s entire body convulses, back arching from the bed, the round of his ass shallowly thrusting with stilted movement, grinding down on his own fingers, riding out his orgasm. The force of it makes Henry slump back down to bed, thick ropes of come painting his chest and chin. And with the Looney Tunes ‘That’s All Folks’ tune, Alex’s brain shuts down. The melody is accompanied not by the Porky Pig but with a cartoon image of his dick closing down the ‘Sane Alex’ show. And considering his dick is going to be the conductor of the show until Alex loses his ability to use it, that seems about right. OR Henry gets a sex related injury, it sends Alex spiraling and he doesn't handle it well.

okay wait before we get started with Episode 14 im just gonna ramble a lot under the readmore. feel free to make fun of me in the notes as always

ford is hot and i stand by this

when is bill coming back. its been too many episodes since bill. spspspsppspspspspsppspspspsspspsp

did that whole billdip thing that I keep hearing about seriously come from one (1) single episode where Bill possessed dipper? does he get possessed again later on or something? do they argue one-on-one? why is everyone so up in arms about this

i said this in the last post but i adore how Ford went from Thirty Years Of The Unending Horrors straight into punching his brother (poor Stan) and then getting into looney tunes shenanigans with the kids. guy of all time.

do mabel and dipper's parents have literally any clue what's going on. did stan tell them he was sending their kids home in that one episode? what happened there? stan's like "hey sorry i lost the house and my job so the kids have to come home, i booked bus tickets" and then four hours later he's calling them back like "okay the kids crashed the bus and i have my house back, all good, yeah they can stay for the rest of the summer right. right?" and for some reason the parents did, in fact, say "right"."

or he didn't tell the parents that the twins were heading home and was planning on breaking the news... at some other point....?

the "dipper is trans" headcanon is amazing and has an insane amount of evidence behind it but if we accept it as true, you do have to admit Mabel and Gruncle Stan are transphobic as all fuck

"i respect his name and pronouns. i dont respect his masculinity though because he's a pansy ass weak little shit" like that's how it goes for 90% of season 1

speaking of what the FUCK is dipper's actual name. is it rodrick? is this ever addressed later on because wtf

if i had been into this show at the normal time (middle school) instead of now (college) i know with absolute certainty that I would have projected my entire being onto Mabel Pines. I know this.

now that the order of the evil eye or whatever they're called is gone... is everyone in the town just suddenly Aware of the shit that's going on in Gravity Falls? were they completely unaware before? why has NOBODY gone after the Pines, with all of Their Shit, this entire summer, if an entire cult exists to memory wipe people who Learn About Shit

fiddleford makes me sad :( the scene of him mindwiping himself over and over has me like :((((((

the animation for the scene where they start the portal back up again had me fuckign screaming crying throwing up it was really good and i had a lot of emotions about it\

i haven't even gotten to the really freaky stuff yet but how the hell did these guys get Bill past disney censors. he's wigging me out and i'm a fully grown adult. if i had seen him in elementary school i would have flipped my entire shit. wtf.

yes, i will be reblogging "BILL??" on this post every single time i see him. i get excited okay. i keep forgetting he's like a real character and not some guy made up by the internet so every time i see him im like BLORBO FROM MY SHOWS IS IN MY SHOWS?

Gravity falls liveblog post round three because the last one was getting too long. again. Block the tag etc

My favorite thing about shows with A plot B plot C plot structure is when at some point the A characters, B characters, and C characters briefly cross paths and see the shenanigans that the other is getting up to and are just like “what the fuck are they doing now”

good news a good 25% of my social interactions are answering this question so here goes.

SOME GOOD STARTER OPERAS FOR THE DISGRUNTLED WARRIOR CATS FAN:

carmen by bizet was my first opera when i was but the tender age of seven, and it's one of the most beloved operas of all time for a reason- reason being it's damn good, when played right. essentially imagine an extended version of the ashfur mr. brightside pmv. don jose, a sevillian soldier, abandons his duties and identity when he meets carmen, a wild woman who listens to her own mind. as time goes on, his possessiveness over her gets worse and worse, until it naturally ends in tragedy (and something of a cliffhanger).

the barber of seville by rossini is a more fun intro to opera; its three hours of looney tunes ass shenanigans. a (rather selfish) young spanish count falls in love with a girl, and hires figaro- the titular barber- to pair them together and stop the advances of dr. bartolo, who wants the same girl for himself. (the girl takes a more active role in the plot than you'd think don't worry.) this ones funny as hell and it has....

AN EVEN BETTER SEQUEL! the marriage of figaro by mozart is the barber of seville's sequel, and it picks up three years later, being about figaro and his bride susanna trying to beat the odds and marry in peace. this one is better than barber of seville but also complicated as hell on purpose (youre SUPPOSED to not know what's really happening the whole time bc its funny like that). if you watch this one i recommend for the best viewing experience that you don't read about anything in the plot beyond act 2, there's a plot twist that has to be seen to be believed.

tosca by puccini is fucking crazy. political drama, banger songs, one of the most badass murders ever witnessed on the opera stage, this opera has it all. just balls to the walls crazy curtain to curtain. in some way it's what the broken code should have felt like, LOL. i usually dont like puccini but tosca is an exception. (content warning for implied attempted rape + suicide on this one)

'what if the new prophecy was good?' have il trovatore, by verdi! trovatore is ostensibly yet another love triangle, on the surface; but it's really about the fight between two brothers, manrico and count di luna, who don't know they're brothers. (this happened because of a very strange backstory involving setting the wrong baby on fire. oh yknow. normal stuff, for opera.) it's an opera really about the cycle of abuse and what it is to kill the people you are trying to avenge, and familial cycles and fratricide that is neither intentional nor unintentional. if you liked that post @/harriertail made with hawkfrost and the cain and abel poem watch this

wanna watch a silly thing that's also sort of a psychological horror? check out the rake's progress by stravinsky! (no it doesn't sound like the rite of spring LOL it sounds more like mozart in a funhouse that gets gradually more disturbing.) tom rakewell, a young and naive man, is told he has inherited his mysteriously-deceased uncle's fortune and is whisked off to the city, alongside nick shadow, his uncle's old servant WHO DEFINITELY ISN'T A DEMON. over time, however, tom loses it all- and there's the unsettling realization that the characters know they are in an opera, and are trying to escape their own narrative destinies, oh god the terror of being at the whim of a narrative you can't control or understand LOL!

i have to mention it here because it's my favorite ever. don giovanni by mozart is an opera with no real plot and yet a very real set of character arcs. don giovanni is a horrible, horrible person, and the opera is about the people he affects- particularly leporello and elvira, his servant and ex-lover respectively, who still care about him despite knowing he is an awful person (loving an abuser will do that to ya). over time, they must learn to let go- after all, the man will die at the end of the show, won't he? (tw for sexual violence on this one- don giovanni is... well... yeah.)

i should note opera isn't perfect. carmen and il trovatore, depending on the production, can lean into xenophobia towards romani people, and it should be noted many operas were written by white men hundreds of years ago so take that as you will. i highly recommend watching new productions of these operas, check out the met opera ones if you can find them (or... dm me...). heed the tws i give if you're sensitive to certain topics. however, with opera part of the activity of the work is to dissect and deconstruct it, and opera is always reinventing itself and deconstructing its own issues- something warrior cats, frankly, lacks. you are always meant to question opera. you are always meant to look it in the eye.

IF YOU'D LIKE PRODUCTION RECS also dm me!!! i know my way around :)

hey wc fans this is another reason you should get into opera bc none of the characters (even those who are under copyright) are really actually owned by anyone. if someone says some dumb shit abt your favs you can just ignore them because they have no power EVEN IF they’re a director or dramaturg or something. food for thought (COME WATCH OPERA YOU WILL BE SOOOOOOO NORMAL ABOUT IT)

The Most Popular Famous Cats and Their Impact on the World

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({ google_ad_client: "ca-pub-9215988308746328", enable_page_level_ads: true });

There are cats – and then there are famous cats. We're talking about those instantly recognizable felines whose image and legacy define entire pop culture eras. In the world, the internet and the printed page, here is a call of the world's most iconic felines.

Social media stars and starlets

Grumpy Cat. Photography © Alamy Stock Photos.

The social media is about to come out of the world, but it does not come close to Grumpy Cat when it comes to spreading a feline's face around the world. Renowned for her characteristic – the result of dwarfism and an underbite – pictures of the self-defined "world's grumpiest cat" blew up the reddit circuit before going viral and inspiring an avalanche of memes. It's a fame that Grumpy's flipped into an empire that includes a movie, a series of books and an endless stream of merchandise.

Just like Grumpy Cat, Lil BUB's take off when photos of this litter took over Tumblr. But thanks to her small size – she's a "perma-kitten" due to genetic abnormalities – and constantly stuck-out tongue, she's used to become an ambassador for special-needs cats and adopt-don't-shop culture. BUB's owner, Mike Bridavsky, claims to be more than $ 300,000.

Swinging back to the lighter side of the social media circuit, Maru has become a kitty champion by virtue of one of the finely honed skills. Videos of Maru mastering his art are so popular that this is the most popular movie on YouTube, claiming over 350 million views.

On-screen famous cats

Long before we are all fixated on YouTube videos on our phones, the cinema was the place to catch famous cats in cation. In the pantheon of famous cats on screen, one cat takes top billing and that's Orangey. Well, that's his real name, but you probably know this marmalade thespian as simply Cat, the darling feline from the Audrey Hepburn movie Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Orangey's other screen times include The Diary Of Anne Frank and The Incredible Shrinking Man, along with the TV show Impossible mission. But behind the glamor and glitz, the Hollywood rumors suggest that you have been in the dark, often scratching and attacking actors who could not live up to his high dramatic standards.

Continuing with the orange-cats-on-camera angle, Morris The Cat is the tabby that stars in the 9th Lives series of cat food commercials. The original Morris was scooped up from the Humane Society in Illinois back in the '60s and proudly embraced his role as the world's most finicky cat'.

Later on in his career, Morris would score roles next to Burt Reynolds and Elliott Gould, and even take a trip to the White House where it's drawn to a bill.

Literary kitties

Back in the 1930s, the Algonquin Hotel in New York City began fostering lineage of literary cats. The Algonquin Round Table – a group of smart-ass writers that included Robert Benchley, Harold Ross and Dorothy Parker – but then a cat called Hamlet showed up and attempted to usurp them all.

Since then, the Algonquin's resident feline has been referred to as Hamlet or Matilda, depending on gender. The duties of the current incumbent, Hamlet VIII, include presiding over the annual cat fashion show.

Broadening the feline Literary Circle The Cat In The Hat and The Cheshire Cat. The form, a creation of Dr. Seuss, donations to a red-and-white striped hat and a couple of kids with his rhyming patter. Popularized by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures In WonderlandThe Cheshire Cat is famed for a super-wide grin, which suggests mischief or some sort of psychedelic night.

Cartoon cats

Tom and Jerry. Photography © Alamy Stock Photos.

The cartoon world is littered with famous cats. Debuting back in 1919, the black-and-white Felix The Cat can be said to be one of the world's first animated feline superstars, thanks to an endearingly wide grin that reads silent movie screens. A couple of decades later, Hanna-Barbera's Tom and Jerry helped popularize the cartoon cat trend by portraying the slapstick of a domestic shorthair who's continually toyed with a tiny brown mouse.

In a similar style, the same animation house brings the misadventures of Mr. Jinks, an orange feline constantly thwarted by a couple of dapper mice, while the studio's Top Cat character kept the shenanigans running through the '60s New York City staff crew continuously harassed by Officer Dibble. Slinking over to the Looney Tunes world, we can not forget Sylvester, a tall tuxedo cat with a lisp who can usually be found on the chase of Tweety Bird.

Embracing the less energetic side of the spectrum is Garfield, a proudly portly creation of the cartoonist Jim Davis. With his slothful and cynical outlook on the world, Garfield has kinda come to symbolize the excess of the '80s.

Jumping forward a decade, Ren and Stimpy performed a similar trick, with the off-kilter brainchild creation of John Kricfalusi channeling the MTV era by presenting a skewed view of life through the lens of an animated Chihuahua and his well-meaning goal goofy feline pal .

Moving on to the '90s and the early days, CatDog switches up to the formula of a cat and a canine together with their opposing personalities. Naturally, Cat is the refined, more astute – and, admittedly, often cunning – side of the partnership.

Finally, we could not say hello to the most recognizable cats of the world without a hint towards hello kitty, a feline whose cultural impact is so great. Now that's iconic.

House of Mouse: “Goofy’s Valentine’s Date” Review

Come on in mouskeeteers! It’s Valentine’s Season here on popculturebuffet, and while I may be single, I do love a good romance story. I find them sweet, sometimes hilaroius, and endearing when done right. And the bane of my existance when done wrong, but we’ll be getting to smidgen of that too. Point is I may not be getting any romantic love this season but I can sure celebrate it. So for the next two weeks we’ll be diving deep first into some ending with one heck of a closer. 

So for our opening act since i’ve been going on in to the House of Mouse a lot lately, and since I NEARLY missed this one if not for Kevin, we’re going to be looking in on my boy Goofy as he grapples with being lonely and Daisy misguidedly tries to help him. Blind dates with a manquin and Mortimer hitting on women to predictable and justified results insues under the cut. 

So as usual for house of mouse we’re chunking this up by segment. Let’s go. 

Donald’s Valentine’s Dollar: Easily the segment of the night and the best House of Mouse short i’ve seen in a rewatch so far. The short is simple but awesome: Donald has only a dollar to spend for V-Day, and wants to buy daisy a tiny but sweet box of chocolates, but his dollar blows away in the wind and he chases after it. And that’s.. it that’s our premise. But it leads into fast paced looney tunes style shenanigans with donald zipping up and down kites and later taking goofy’s broken one and putting it on like wings Arthur Everest styles and taking after it. Also the nephews show up and dick around with their kites because their douchebags in some shorts. Also donald tries to punch a whale.. well a whale kite but still let it be said there’s a short where donald tries to punch what he thinks is a sky whale. And that is wonderful.  The climax is also really sweet, as Donald gets the dolalr, after another briliant sequence where they play hide and seek in the clouds, only to find it sold out and himself dejected waiting for her thinking she’ll be mad.. only for her to present him with the very gift he was going to give her and the two to share a look. 

It’s cute enough on it’s own but after SEVEAL weeks of having to put up with the  three cabs version it’s NICE to have a Daisy back whose not an overly demanding monster from some stygian hole in the sky. Not much else to say about this one. I’ts just REALLY good and I could easily recommend checking it out on it’s own. 

Mickey Saves Minnie: The Stairs This is one of those short segments from Mouseworks that lasts about a minute and is off a simple recurring premise, in this case Mickey saving Minnie from some sort of bizzare fortress of pete’s.. in this case THE STAIRS!

I said STAIRS. In this case Gimmicked stairs with all kinds of traps: boxing gloves, giant balls...

And giant slinkies. I knew one day they’d grow big and kill us all but they all laughed at me.. well whose laughing now.. well still them because Mickey gets past them easily. Pete turns the stairs into a slide but mickey rebounds by pure luck via slinky and uses one of the boxing gloves to win, minnie kisses him and this was real fun. Nothing really deep to go into just a fun few minutes of my life i��m glad i’m not getting back. Speaking of wishing I had minutes of my life back....

Pluto’s Arrow Error: Well this one’s messed up. Look Love Potion plots genuinely ONLY work when the writer knows that giving someone something to make you fall in love with them is inehrently messed up. It worked in Buffy because Xander did so for vengance after Cordellia broke up with him, which granted she did REALLY hurt him but it’s still a bit of overkill. However while it ends up backfiing and making every OTHER girl in school into him, and psyotically so as the episode goes on, he never indulges, as he KNOWS it’s wrong and not under their power or choice. Basically it was one long deconstuction of this nonsense. 

My point is unless it’s used to deconstruct this type of plot or for some shenanigans, Love Potion plots are inherently creepy at best and rapey at worst. So naturally we get one with Pluto trying to make a dog who dosen’t know him love him instead of trying to woo her, and accidently making her bodyguard/boyfirend I guess chase after him for 2 minutes while he’s tinted pink. And yes i know he’s a dog, but he’s an intellegent dog who should knwo this is bad and never gets called out on it and his punshiment.. is one long gay joke. 

So yeah while not the worst love potion plot i’ve probably seen, or love magic or what have you, I could make a list of those and might some day, it is still pretty uncomfortable and easily a dead spot in an otherwise pretty enjoyable episode. 

Goofy’s Valentine’s Date: And fitting it’s accompanying shorts, the good ones anyway, this is a simple plot with funny gags. It’s valentin’es day at the house of mouse and Mickey encourages everyone to kiss their sweeties. So we get Aladdin and Jasmine, AWWWW always shipped those two so adorable, a toy soldier and some other toy from a work im unfamiliar iwth and Timon turns down Pumba. Come on man, who are you trying to kid me or the censors? 

But Goofy’s depressed since he dosent have a sweetie and Daisy feels bad for the poor guy while Minnie tells her “not to meddle”. 

Minnie from a buisness standpoint, he’s crying while reading the menu and clealry not in great mental shape. Setting him up with someone or even just talking to him will help with that. And from a human being standpoint... your being a cruel ass to NOT help him in any way shape or form. The guys a fucking widower. He’s probably been lonely for some time and more focused on raising max. And since no one knows where Peg is he dosen’t have a lot options now he is ready to date again. It’s not MEDDLING to help a clearly lonely person whose gotten over his grief move on, it’s just called basic human decency. I expect that from cablleros daisy Min not you. 

So Daisy does end up meddling, in part because she thinks it’s shuffling around coins, and sets him up with a secret admirer.. without actually getting him one. 

So Minnie does agree to help and they.. put him in a blindfold and have him date a manquin. In front of the entire restraunt. I have no words.. since this is pretty funny and Goofy’s shenanigans while blindfolded, because it’s a BLIND date.

Also sidebar it’s very weird that she DID set Lincoln up with a blind date once but didn’t pull this gag. Point is it’s some funny stuff including Gus, in his first apperance on this blog seriously how’d it take so long, eating the shakes he orders since Goofy can’t see. 

Tying into the resolution to this is Moritmer, who spends the episode as you’d expect.. hitting on various characters. He hits on the wicked step sisters, whose cat attacks him, he hits on the lady gargoyle from huncback and her two friends rightfully beat his ass, he hits on madam mim who set shim on fire and he hits on the queen of hearts who somehow DOSEN’T cut off his head, and you know is married, and does launch him into goofy spoiling the ruse. Honestly I found this funny both because Moritmer is objectively hilarious and because the show DIDN’T take his side at all or give him anyone, and he suffered consequences for sleazly hitting on women. He also called himself a wonder man. No sir the only wonder men are these guys. 

And if your wondering about the secod one there was a whole song about it. 

Your welcome. So Goofy’s dejected until after Pluto’s cartoon where it turns out he had a secret admirer after all. it’s clarabelle! Awww.. and Daisy says “Well it’s better than a manquin” what a supportive friend you are. And she’s STILL better than cabs Daisy. Point is happy ending pulled sorta out of their ass, as she showed up earlier but sitll it woudl’ve been easy to have Clarabelle chime in during their scheme or something and have Minnie set them up to fix it. Or Donald or Mickey. Donald was absent outside of the short. That’s not fair. But overall not a bad wraparound, ending is a huge copout and feels like not much, but i’m starting to think that’s usual for season 1. I do KINDA ship the two, but usually I prefer her with horace or him with Peg Pete. Yeah you heard me and you cant unhear it and frankly I don’t want you to. We also get a funny add about the Queen of Hearts valentine’s service.  Overall not a bad episode. Fun gags, a cute premsie and only one really terrble short. Check it out this valentein’s and hopefully disney will have this show up on plus by next valentine’s. Until the next rainbow, it’s been a pleasure.

Animaniacs: King Yakko Review (Comission by BlahDiddy)

Hello my beautiful technicolor rainbow! It’s time for Animaniacs, and while there is no balonga in my slacks there is one last christmas review for my friend to finish up, and after two visits to Acme Lab for the spinoff we’re finishing up with a look at Animaniacs proper.  Suprisingly for a show that stands so easily on it’s own it’s existance is entirely thanks to another show: Tiny Toon Adventures, which had largely the same staff, including ep and co-creator stephen speilberg and Todd Ruegger, who was brought aboard from A Pup Named Scooby Doo. Since TIny Toon was a colossal hit with tons of awards and merch, including some very good video games I wish Warner would find a way to re-release, I mean.. come on if disney can rerelease the disney afternoon games (If...not..for..switch), and LIon King and Aladdin games (If somehow FOR switch), then Warner, which has it’s own game stuido no less, can put together a collection of the good Tiny Toons games when the new show comes out soon. 

Point is it was a mass sucess and Warner Bros likes money, so they had Speilberg try to get Rutger to come up with another show for the two of them to do, something with name value. Rutger found his inpsiration when seeing the iconic warner water tower and taking some platypus characters, came up with our heroes and the rest is history.. well okay he retooled them from plataups’ to early looney tunes and other toons style characters minus the racisim of say bosko the tall ink kid but still, the rest after that is history. And the rest of this review is after the cut

The show was, and KINDA still is, a variety show: taking a page from looney tunes, as well as tex avery’s other work, the crew decided rather than just focus on the warners, to instead create a whole cast with various ensembles to work with so we got Pinky and the Brain, The Goodfeathers, Rita and Runt,  the Hip HIppos, Katie Kaboom, Chicken Boo, and my personal faviorite Slappy Squirrel.. and the bane of my existance, Buttons and Mindy.. or rather Mindy’s Mom. The kid did nothing wrong.  So naturally the first thing Animaniacs related I cover.. is an episode entirely breaking from format for one 20 something minute Warners cartoon. I do intend to do more animanics stuff in the future, so i’ll hopefully get a chance to talk about everyone, I just feel unlike with say house of mouse most people reading this probably know who they all are, and I can save any deep dives for if I cover the characters specifically. Spoilers: there’s probably never going to be a buttons and mindy deep dive unless someone tourtues me by paying for it. 

So with that out of the way, we can dive into the episode.. which I won’t be covering in my usual recap it point by point because the writers have freely admitted that’s not what Animaniacs is about. While some of i’ts SEGMENTS are more story based like Pinky and the Brain, Goodfeathers and Rita and Runt, most are just based on simple set ups to reams and reams of gags. And I love it. I grew up with this stuff not just Tiny Tunes and Animaniacs but the classic Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Droopy shorts. 

Their well timed, well executed feats of comedy and most have aged pretty well.. emphasis on MOST. I’m keenly aware why there are several gaps in the shorts for both Tom and Jerry and The Looney Tunes on HBO Max, including all of the Pepe LePew and Speedy Gonzalez shorts. Also all of Droopy is missing. 

My grumblin aside though, it is VERY NICE to have all the classic Warner and Tom and Jerry shorts at my fingertips and it was one of the biggest selling points of Max for me. Last year I gained an intrest in the old disney theatrical shorts, hence my various birthday specials, so I BADLY wanted to revisit the theatrical shorts I grew up with. And honestly.. Max is the best way to do that: their in crisp hd, in neat season collections (Though the Looney Tunes one is better sorted, tom and jerry’s seasons are just.. random smatterings of shorts across various eras), and most importantly EVERY SHORT they felt comfortable with putting up there is on there. Every. Single. One.  I make a big deal about this because Disney.. has only maybe 30-40 of their hundreds of shorts on there. Now lucky for me the vast majority are still on youtube and I get why some really arne’t suitable.. we probably don’t need the donald duck short where he prepares to shoot a penguin in the face or the Goofy short where his own reflection, the goofy equilvent of tyler durden I guess?, keeps saying “Hey Fat” to him. And yes BOTH of these actually happened. But.. there’s MANY shorts with no clear excuse why their absent like the triplets first apperance, gus’ only apperance, and one a friend told me about.. that time mickey built a robot to box a gorillia. Again not making this up, just wondering why you can’t restore the rest of these for plus. They’ve ADDED shorts ocasionally, but it still dosen’t make a whole lot of sense to just.. not have them all up there. and to not put them in some sorta collection for easier consumption but hey it’s Disney. They either full ass things or half ass it. There is no middle ground.  Point is Warner.. actually cares about their heritage in shorts and honors it and thus has everything avaliable in the best quality, so tha’ts nice.

My point after that detour is I really love this kind of humor, and now as an adult I can see the effort the timing, pacing and character chemistry these shorts had takes. And Rugger and co.. they got it. They got it down perfect. And this episode is a great show of that and just how they barely updated this format for the 90′s. But as I said it’s more about the jokes and basic setup, our heroes are slotted into x scenario and just left to run wild. It’s been the basic seutp for looney tunes, tom and jerry and all the gag based greats, and it works perfectly here. Sure there’s some setting and continuity with the warner lot, scratch n sniff, ralph, plotz and in the reboot Rita, but it’s mostly just our heroes go up against “X asshole” and it just works. 

And that’s.. entirley what this episode is. The short is an homage to the graucho marx film Duck Soup, which given the warners were based on the marx brothers that isn’t a huge suprise, a film like brian’s song I have not seen, but genuinely want to. The basic setup is the same: An underqualified womanizer, though since htis is Yakko it dosen’t get past hitting on his chancelor, played by hello nurse, constantly, which is still.. ewwwww... but clearly not the same thing, becomes king of a small nation and ends up at war with another country. There were spies and other stuff in the original short but that was left out to streamline things.  But this homage stands on it’s own fine: The basic plot is this: Yakko, due to being a distant relative and the last one alive, becomes king of the small happy and very musical, as the wonderful opening number shows, country of Anvilania, which makes anvils and why yes there is one MASSIVE anvil gag as a result at the end. Yakko says he’ll try his best and geninely tries to with the shenanigans you’d expect, including Dot not gettnig Polka Dot’s are a thing and instead taknig any mention of it as a sign to polka, Yakko again hitting on his colleague and wanting ot get a new anthem because the current one by “Perry Coma’ puts people to sleep. Honeslty that gag didn’t do it for me: Partly because I genuinely know next to nothing about Como and he’s far past my generation.. and because despite this, SCTV did a MUCH better Perry Como gag over a decade before this episode that while still left me baffled as to why anyone cared about mocking him, was 80 times funnier and felt far less like you needed to know who he was to be funny. 

That being said it’s one of only three running gags, and jokes period that didn’t land for me. The other ones being the hello nurse bits, because it’s aged really badly to have Yakko harass one of his employees and his age is hte only thing that keeps it from scuttling the episode as he’s just 13 or 14. Maybe 15. 

So SO glad I now have that on hand whenever i need it. The other being the “Your highness” joke as it just.. dosen’t make much sense and isn’t very funny. But that’s it: a refrence i specfically don’t get and I doubt most of you will, and if you do fine we all have our frames of refrences, a joke that’s dated very poorly, and one that just.. didn’t land. And even then the Perry Coma thing’s third use to knock out the opposing army DID work for me as did the VERY clever joke of “Sire” “Maybe later”, so even the weaker bits still had some legs.  But getting back to what little plot there is the king of the rival country, upon hearing this, assumes he can easily intimidate a child into giving him the throne and goes to a royal reception. Instead, as you’d expect, the Warners mistake him for a party clown, show him no respect and fail to take his delcration of war seriously, and while in a REALLY great gag, and the reason i’m not doing a strict summary is 90% of the review would be me saying something to that effect, Yakkos’ call to action for his troops ends up having them all run off in fear, the Warners take out the army as noted above and then in one of the most GLORIOUS climaxes in the series history...

 In which the Warners give the bad guy “all the anvils” as he requested. I sadly coulnd’t find a clip of it but seek it out if you got hulu, my words can’t do it justice as they hit him with anvil after anvil in increasingly clever and insane ways till the guy finally gives up and it .. is glorious.  Other highlights not already mentioned include: The opening song, the bad guy dictator from the other nation not being able to hear because of his helmet and his attendee having to lift it, leading to Yakko taking off his helmet just to end the “what’ running gag, Yakko’s bit explaning his distant relation and more.  So yeah not a ton to say on this one. It’s a very good, very funny episode but also very typical of a warner cartoon in structure, just stretched over 22 or so minutes. As I said with few exceptions the jokes work, the anmation is crisp as always, and the climax is one of the series best. A crisp, quick watch and a nice quick review after a week of with some really tough ones behind me and ahead of me and a month of rather large ones a few weeks out. So yeah if you like animaniacs, even ifyou’ve seen this one worth a watch, if you have any more animaniacs you’d like me to take a look at feel free to comment or comission and until the next rainbow..
