it sort of won me over when bugs bunny said “i AM amused!”
the soundtrack makes me want to die though, i assume that’s just a trailer thing
and yeah 2 on the nose ‘jokes’ where the punchline is ‘modern technology exists’ in one trailer is a very bad sign
This is true, but the Rocko’s Modern Life movie did this and it was still pretty decent.
I think it worked I rocko because they consigned the majority of those to the opening and the rest of the special was actually a pretty well considered exploration on rebooting old things and the changes that happen because of that.
And uh, something tells me this isn’t going to be that.
y’all really would not like Wabbit where theres an episode where bugs has to kill a computer virus by putting it into winamp and another one where snoop dogg teaches him to rap lol
one of the few posts on this site that made me say, out loud, “ffffuck” like the air escaping from a profane bicycle tire
i honestly feel like “highly specific references to the present” is part of the looney tunes formula but it’s a tightrope
maybe the funniest and most looney tunes like episodes of “the looney tunes show” is the episode where bugs is pissed off about how shitty his cable company customer service is
and it’s not that weird if wile e coyote orders something off fake amazon like he has in the past couple decades
basically the “streaming service” gag is almost a joke/a dad joke but yeah you could easily get into a dangerous “tiny toons” level of talking about “life these days”
i didn’t even get until now that it is supposed to be a pun about the literal stream that is on the screen
jokes on me i guess
now i’m remembering the brief moment at the turn of the century where wb was funding flash animated looney tunes
Saw three episodes of Midnight Gospel. It feel like watching some kind of offspring of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Super Jail. Only later did I find out that the majority of dialouge is from a podcast which explains the SGCtC feel. It’s something different. I feel a few cultural zones away to appreciate it adequately.
yeah i watched the first two and the extent to which it feels like episodes of On Being with visual accompaniment by Pendleton Ward and Titmouse is a bit uninspiring to me, as amazing as that combo sounds on paper. my partner loves it though
we watched a few episodes of that new Ghost in the Shell series tonight and… does that get good at any point?
it has the quality of motion of like, an early Gorillaz video
I’ve enjoyed the midnight gospel, the superjail background animation especially stood out for me in the third episode, where the podcast bits were completely bizarre and the animation took that as a challenge and went for what I can only describe as Cat Soup by way of Superjail
#3 best forever
Why is Scooby Doo in there. I just googled it and Scooby Doo has never been adapted to anime presumably because of its extreme non-anime-ness
i think the western references are in there as jokes like “obviously you’re way too cool for that lame stuff”
i wonder if enough people had said they wanted to see turtles, they’d give in and license the turtles anime
So I take it the deformed vegetable sailors is not One Piece? (I have never watched or read any One Piece.)
it’s popeye
this supposedly comes from 1996, so it predates one piece by a year
was wondering why i received this email from admin@selectbutton.net
You are mistaken, Scooby-Doo is very anime:
