I was under the impression that (whateverhisnameis) wasn’t a Spongebob clone, but rather a spinoff of the older slaptstick cartoons which pulled random objects out of nowhere (indeed the ACME Gay Test was indicitave of this, no?).
All in all, the episode was pretty funny, but it seems they were going for the “offend everyone and everything we can in under 30 minutes” angle.
A suprisingly funny show, I gotta admit. I thought it was going to be a terrible piece of drek like that stupid show with the animated hollywood director dude.
Nice Wed. lineup now: South Park, Southpark, Drawn Together, Daily Show. Hopefully, the Daily Show will start being funny again, and I’ll have a solid 2 hours of Ha-Ha! on Wed. nights.
Comedy Central can say fuck and shit after a certain time. They just have so far reserved it for the South Park movie, that one episode of South park and the Chris Rock special. Maybe they’re still afraid of losing sponsers and are just slowly testing the water.
I agree with Brutus. This was miles better then I thought it would be.
They’re also doing that “Secret Stash” thing and playing unbleeped movies at around midnight on Saturday nights (and then immediately rerunning them a couple of times, also unbleeped).
They’ve shown an erect penis already, in the first episode. It was pig-owned and corkscrew (surprisingly accurate) but it was still an unpixilated erect penis.
Did the fat chick that Captain Hero was screwing eat the old record player? Or were they just playing on the “awk! Its a living!” joke? Funny either way.
Note that they also blurred out Elmer Fudd and Snagglepuss’s faces. Elmer Fudd is gay? I mean, Snagglepuss is a dead giveaway, but Elmer?!
It’s the one where they say “shit” about 200-some-odd times (with a little counter in the corner). The “curses” turn out to be literal curses, and wind up summoning demons to Earth . . . or something like that.
It was…2 years ago, IIRC…they did a stunt episode where they said ‘shit’ something like 200 times on the show (‘shit’ had become an acceptable word because it was used on a TV cop drama)… But all that swearing was causing a curse to be awakened and the boys (of course), had to stop it.
I say Ling LIng should have just dumped some Open Pit on Spanky and let the asian kids have a B-B-Q.
I think the funnies part of the episode was LIng Ling’s flashback to when he killed his trainer. Watching enough Pokemon with my son always made me wonder why this didn’t happen more often.
