Members Gribs Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 The bunnies in xpander's popcorn machine thread got me thinking about effed-up TV shows for kids. Other shows and interpretations are invited HR Puffinstuff - some kid goes on a bad acid trip to a magic land and spends too much time talking with his flute. An old lady suffering from herpes named Witchy-pooh is always trying to grab the kid's flute and has a minion named "Stupid Bat". What a great name. You never see a character named "Stupid" anything in kids shows these days. Sesame Street - Ernie and his gay lover Bert show kids how to work out their conflicts and like all couples in all shows from back then have to sleep in separate beds. A blue fuzzy monster steals cookies and just about anything else it can grab and pigs out. A gangrenous insane street person that looks like Ed Asner lives in a garbage can and yells at all the kids. A bird eats too many fermented juniper berries, becomes delusional, and hallucinates that it is giant-sized and is best friends with a woolly mammoth. Stevie Wonder shows up and plays a kick-ass version of Superstition while all the cast gets their groove on. Teletubbies - Hoses sticking out of the ground shoot angel dust all over odd alien baby creatures and bunnies. The creatures eat stuff that looks like poop that drops down machines that look like toilet drains. Dragon Tales - Two little kids go to a magic land where they meet and befriend, among other creatures, a two-headed dragon that has one head that is a male and another head that is a female and lives down a "knucker-hole". In one episode the kids get stuck in a land called "Kingdom Come" with their dragon friends. Little Einsteins - Little kids who are smart because they listened to classical music when they were babies go on a mission, start a count down, climb aboard a red rocket, rev up their engines, and then have to go "pat pat pat pat pat..." to give the rocket power to make it blast off.

Members 5ku14 Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 As posted in xpanders popcorn thread, In the Night Garden is a show I find deeply troubling. I draw a blank when trying to recall it to leave a short summary. Shudder. [YOUTUBE]evlnQG-CHVo[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Severalist Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Today's Special - My memories a little fuzzy on this one, but from what I remember... A woman works in a department store at night (doing God knows what. Really though, I can't remember.) Every night after the store closes one of the mannequins comes alive and they both eat peanut butter and watch TV. At the end of each episode the characters scream and their heads explode. Each new episode, they are brought back to life by scientist ants. It's been a while since I saw the show, but I think that's the just of it.

You never see a character named "Stupid" anything in kids shows these days. A little "on topic" with HR Puffinstuff. Rick Wakeman purchased his first electronic keyboard, a Minimoog, from the actor Jack Wild who played "Jimmy" in Puffinstuff. Wakeman was able to buy it for half the regular selling price because Wild thought it didn't work as it only played one note at a time. He didn't know it was only monophonic.

Members mikelpanky Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Umm...helluh. It's terrifyingly creepy stories set to somewhat classical and somewhat country music. And it will SERIOUSLY mess with your mind.[YOUTUBE]K7WoRMQpvo4[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xpander Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Gumby was pretty effed up too. it should be no surprise that i own some h.r. pufnstuf videos! don't forget the wildly creative PeeWee's Playhouse, we're going to see the live version in hollywood this december! also a huge fan of gumby & art clokey in general. i met him at a retrospective a few years back at the San Rafael Film Center, really interesting guy. he did a brilliant film while experimenting with hallucinogens called Mandala. imagine the mind that brought us Gumby on acid. pure win! watch this short clip of art clokey: [YOUTUBE]ftUGgpxrjlc[/YOUTUBE] if you ever meet Art Clokey, do NOT have him sign a Gumby; the ink will sink in over time.

Members seamonkey Posted September 20, 2009 Members Share Posted September 20, 2009 Pee Wee's Playhouse is awesome! My wife and I have a collector's set of VHS tapes we've been watching on the weekends, along with a couple of brewskies. Great funny stuff, really really old vintage cartoons and of course the secret word of the day. Don't forget the lovely and vivacious Miss Yvonne. Man goes to ADULT theater and milks the monkey..it's not like it was a theater showing Finding NEMO..nice to see law enforcement has so much time and manpower to hide in adult moviehouses..like someone who's watching pornography on screen is going to be offended by someone in the audience wonkin the weasel.:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
