Masters of the Universe Classics = furry beefcake?
Posted 12 years agoOkay, recently saw a review via a re-tweet by Paul Dini of a Club Eternia exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics figure of his most un-famous or infamous creation for the show: Plundor the Spoiler.

Why does this cater to fans of furry beefcake? Aside from the obvious appearance, the kicker is: his chest armor can be removed. The same with this MotUC figure of Chief Carnivus, a minor character who only appeared in the 2002+ MotU show on Cartoon Network.

Well, I guess since K9 Corps didn't catch on, there was a vacuum in the market for strip-able male furry action figures with sculpted abs. :P

Posted 12 years agoOkay, has the onslaught of porn of minor characters introduced in last night's Venture Bros. episode begun, yet? Certainly Unicornelius must have already been done?
DC Stuporheroes
Posted 13 years agoWas having a conversation with
animagusurreal about his all-anthro universe adaptation of the 2005 animated version of Krypto the Superdog and got to thinking about what other DC characters could be adapted to an all furry universe. Not just established animal/funny animal characters, like Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew/Justa Lotta Animals or animal sidekick characters like the League of Super Pets/Executive Familiars or Ch'p/B'dg and Dex-Starr.
You seem to get bonus comedy points the closer you can keep the pun names to the original names or initials, a la Marvel's "What the . . .?" Peter Parker/Spider-Ham stories, so I've tried to go that route.
Yes, most of these are dogs, so sue me. :P I've been watching Dog City and Road Rovers, lately.
Superdog, a.k.a. Bark Kent (
animagusurreal) / Ken-El (mine)): adaptation of of Krypto from his 2005 stand-alone show / comics. Love interests would include Lana Labb and Lois Dane and he'd probably have a pal named Jimmy Ottsen. :-P
Toy-Breed (or Toy-Dog) / Winslow Schipp (Schipperke): best gag was able to come up with on Winslow Schott based on an actual toy breed (wanted to use "Scot," "Rott" or "Plott" but none of those are toy dogs). Maybe I can find one from the Jack Nimball/"Funhaus" version that isn't Jack Poodle. :-P The Hiro Okamura good-guy version would no doubt be Hiro Shibamura or Okashiba, since Shiba inu are a toy breed according to the AKC.
Mad Hat-Hare (or just "Hat-Hare" or even "March Hare"): furry version of Mad Hatter/Jervis Tetch. No animal pun name on Jervis Tetch, yet. I thought of maybe Lepus Tetch, but I prefer any animal pun names to be surnames. Were he a dog he could be Jervis Fetch, but then I would have to change his criminal name.
Green Lantern Norton "Nort" J. Herald: an alternate version of G'nort who is competent and from Earth, while one of his fellow Lanterns, G'guy is an idiotic human-like being from another planet. I had thought of having power collars instead of rings, but that would be taking the joke too far.
Mr. Mxyptlick: since he made this joke himself in the DCAU, a dog version of "Mixie." But since he is a fifth dimensional being and not technically human, he could probably be his normal self. Starro appeared in Captain Carrot, after all.
Captain Marvel: couldn't come up with a pun on this name, but found several dog names that Billy Batson could be turned into: Bassett, Boston (Terrier), Beauceron, Belgian (Malinois) . . .
Martian Mailmanhunter: alternate universe version of Marvin Martian's dog, K-9. Martian Leghumper would be too crude.
Suede Wilson, aka Deathyoke. His Marvel Universe parody has the exact same name and species but is named "Deadbull." :P
Catrocitus: combination of Atros/Atrocitus and Dex-Starr.
General Drul-Zod: alternate version of Dom, the leader of General Zod's "three naughty doggies" from the Krypto the Superdog comic issue "Heel Before Dom."
Lady Sheba / Sandra Miu-San: cat version of Lady Shiva. Would have gone for a dog version, Lady Shiba, but wanted a breed/species that was not nationality-specific, since Sandra is not Japanese (that they've said) in the comics.
Box-Ur or Fox-Ur: dog or fox version of Kryptonian villain Jax-Ur.

SD: Mystery Inc. a love-letter to vintage Hanna-Barberra
Posted 13 years agoOkay, this season has been almost as schizo as Trigun when it comes to balancing absurd comedy with deathly serious drama. Without trying to spoil anything for those who haven't seen this or even the first season, the appearances by other past HB characters are no longer limited to background gags and dreams.
What bugs me, though, is that its new time-slot is definitely not for its target audience. The prime-time slot the first season held was just right, since it's not quite into Adult Swim territory, but without a doubt completely geektacular.

F***ed up topics disguised in kids cartoons
Posted 14 years agoOne of the most brilliantly disguised f***ed up episodes of any cartoon I have seen was an episode of Tom & Jerry Tales whose *entire* theme/punchline was the Black Plague. I think the title was "The Itch." Now, I'm sure this started out as a challenge/bet among the writers over who could sneak in an episode about such a depressing topic and still be funny. A touring medieval rat heavy metal band whose big hit song is "The Itch" causes its fans to scratch/spasm et al. The song is to the tune of "Ring Around the Rosie" (which, if you don't know the origins of, look it up :-O :XD:) and they are accidentally spreading fleas; they just thought their fans were dancing. This is all while Jerry is trying to warn village guard Tom about what's going on and getting abused for it by him and a massive rat roadie / bouncer.
They could probably do a whole Cracked article about this, if they haven't already. Anybody got any others?

A very special episode
Posted 14 years agoJust got finished re-watching the Bravestarr episode "The Price," and I had forgotten how creep-fucking-tacular Dealer was since I last saw it 20+ years ago. Yes, that is the actual name of the dingo drug-slinger. Not that "Barker" or "Howler" were particularly creative, but at least they didn't have any dingo parents who tried to be oh so unique and hip and name their child after a fruit. Come to think of it, I can't remember them showing any female dingoes at all. So, I'm thinking that to keep their numbers they must do some Hills Have Eyes shit which is also, frighteningly, combined with A Cry in the Dark (okay, I'm probably going to Hell for that last one).
But anyway, back to Dealer. All he needed was glasses and slicked, down flat hair (he never took off his bowler hat- yes, bowler hat, not a fedora or Panama hat) to be ready to be an extra in that Lonely Island video. He had the high waistband and pencil moustache down. If they had made another very special episode or moral PSA about "stranger danger," all they would need to do is have him pull up in a rusty panel van and it would have been nightmare fuel for kids and parents everywhere. It REALLY doesn't help that the victim kid is on his knees in front of Dealer at at least two points in the episode.

How to make movies . . .
Posted 15 years agoHow to make a Sam Worthington movie:
1. Even if he doesn't start out that way, he must be partially-human to a varying degree by the end of it.
2. His siblings and parents must be dead, preferably when he is introduced, but it is acceptable for them to die during the end of the prologue / beginning of the first act.
3. He must initially not get along with the other main protagonists once he meets them; usually related to Rule #1.
4. He must leap across a fall of certain death onto a flying object at least once, preferably several times. Ideally the leap(s) will be from an object that is also flying.
5. He must do what no one, or at least what an infinitesimal few, has/have ever succeeded in before.
How to make a Robin Hood movie:
1. Find a director with solid adventure movie credentials.
2. Get a decent budget for production value.
3. Get a stellar supporting cast of respected actors
4. Fuck all of the above up by casting in the lead an Oscar-winningly overrated, narcissistic douchebag who also thinks he's a musician, but is friends with the director.
