Weird Children's Show Stuff From Years Past, #5

Looney Tunes, of course, has to be included.  Here's Bugs Bunny introducing kids to a great piece of music, while at the same time you have the extreme violence (remember again, Elmer Fudd is trying to KILL Bugs Bunny) and cross dressing:

Weird Children's Show Stuff From Years Past, #4

Tom and Jerry.  Itchy and Scratchy have nothing on them except Itchy and Scratchy cartoons show what the actual outcome of the violence would be.  Violence galore.  Some drunnkeness.  Oh, and throw in some racist stereotyping just for good measure:

Weird Children's Show Stuff From Years Past, #3

Oscar the Grouch is a weird character to begin with.  See Dave Chappelle's stand up from Killing Them Softly.  But why is he telling kids how great trash is?  And did he sing, "rusty trombone?"

Weird Children's Show Stuff From Years Past, #2

More from the Muppet Show, here's a drum battle between Animal and Buddy Rich (like any kid would know who the heck Buddy Rich was).  And the lesson?  If you lose your drum battle, resort to violence:

Weird Children's Show Stuff From Years Past, #1

Remember the Muppet Show?  I know I sure do.  And I used to enjoy the musical numbers, I really liked the ones with just the Muppets.  Here's one that I always remembered.  Probably because it was so freakin' dark, especially for a young kiddo.  What they heck were they showing us?!?!  Were they trying to scare the crap out of us?:

State of the Union Reaction Then Obama Schools GOP'ers at Their Own Retreat

Then, Obama shows up at the House GOPers' annual retreat with the press corps in tow. And the GOPers agreed to let him do a Q&A with the cameras rolling:


This should be an annual event. The sitting president should go to the other party's House caucus' annual retreat and do a Q&A. But, given how the above exchange went over I doubt the GOPers will let Obama come over to their winter retreat again next year. Here's SNL's take on the Q&A:

Sneaky, Ninja Cat

I'm a sucker for funny pet-related videos. Watch the cat. The cat only moves when the camera is not on him/her:

Surprise, Surprise. Monty Python is Ahead of the Curve

They were revolutionary for their comedy. Now they're demonstrating that they're way ahead of the internet/YouTube curve. Below is the YouTube video by Monty Python announcing the launch of their own YouTube channel, oh, by the way the video is funny:



Their YouTube channel can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/montypython

They're ahead of the curve in doing this because, in my opinion, they're choosing the path of less resistance. They could go to court, sue, blah blah blah. Instead, they're putting up their own free site exposing their hilarious comedy (that still holds up) to new viewers. Plus, folks like me will still buy the DVD's for extras. And it's free advertising.
