Oh heck, that was weird. :eek:
forgive me if I’m slow on the uptake here, but this thing is a spoof isn’t it and/or has been edited/mashed a bit?
Well, that was fairly horrifying. The IMDb listing notes that Scooby-Doo and the Smurfs were also featured. Presumably Scrappy-Doo is touched inappropriately, which I can certainly get behind, but what’s the deal with the Smurfs? Did they even have children? I thought they reproduced by fission or something.
IMDb recommendations are always a hoot: “If you enjoyed this title, our database also recommends **Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf **, and Advanced Tie Dye Techniques: Making Shapes and Mandalas.”
It’s always a good idea to soften up your preschool audience’s mental barriers by introducing yourself first as a well-known fictional character, threatening to break their legs, and then introducing your sweater-wearing, Mr. Rogers-like alter ego. With luck, these children will not only be on gurard against sexual predators, they may actually never trust any human being ever again.
Presumably this all seemed like a good idea to the actors and producers at the time, which gives some insight into how the daytime talk show phenomenon was warping our society into a constant state of panic even at that early date. No doubt there are also helpful videos out there which counsel children on how to recognize Satanic cults, hosted by the Groovie Goolies and Michael Gross from Family Ties.
I am reminded of Henry Winkler’s guest appearance on the '80s acid-trip The Great Space Coaster, where he explained to Gariddle Gorilla in rather excessive detail just how his signature “thumb-up” gesture was related to the phrase “Sit on it.” As a youngster I had never really pondered what the “it” was that Fonzie always advised nerds to “sit on,” so my young mind was quite blown by the revelation. Indeed, an anus is a useful thing to have…
I was really waiting for him to rhyme ‘cunt’ with ‘front’ and ‘blunt’. I feel let down.
I guess my complete lack of maturity is shining through there.
Yup. I have seen this video. It was long ago and my well–intentioned mother showed it to me. I was 10 or so. I explained that the video was for 5 year olds but watched it anyway for the unintentional humor.
My brain hurts. I’m dubbing ( with the audio off ) " The Best of Victor Borgia " while at the same time listening to a lovely wholesome ditty about anus. :eek:
I didn’t know this existed but I can see why it was made, and why the producers thought they were doing a good thing with it. Now? My god. What wholesome teenage idol would be appropriate to teach young boys and girls the proper way to handle unwanted advances?
Britany Spears?

Anybody else knocking themselves out trying to decide whether the Chris Wallace in this video is the same as the Fox News Chris Wallace?? 'Cause I am.
For copyright reasons, I won’t post a direct link. Google “strong kids safe kids”- Google Video it, even. (Since Google now owns YouTube, the first hit is the YouTube four-minute excerpt. Look for the one from “Param. Home Video.” that runs 44 minutes.)
Okay, I broke down and have been watching the full version. Thanks for that, it’s even stranger.
Cut&Paste from e-mail to my SO (at work, still)
Sez she:
Seriously, though. The Pac-Man thing is so random (like so much else in the video,) and then Fonzie suggesting edible parents is très étrange, in context. What the hell were they thinking?
Sometimes I think those hi-speed connection folks are just whooshing us dial-uppers.
They probably also have a secret forum that only they can see where they plan these things.
Sorry about that. I guess you won’t be happy when we do a thread on Mr. T’s Be Somebody- Or Be Somebody’s Fool! These gold changes come from the Mandinka tribe!
Something about his mannerisms and facial expressions remind me of Marshall Applewhite (AKA “Do,”) leader of the elective castration (and UFO) cult “Heaven’s Gate.”
A penis… is something you don’t need…
The penis… should be pulled out like a weed…
All boys have a penis, but no matter what you’ve heard-
You’re better off without it, it’s not really that absurd.
(I understand the mechanics of castration, it’s poetic license.) 
Is it to your horror or relief that it apparently is the same guy?
I feel like making up songs about my goodies now.
That was the strangest thing I’ve seen in…well, maybe EVER.
Do we really need to mention to kids that their anus is useful in the same video that we tell them how to not let their weird uncle touch them where their bathing suit goes?
And the rainbows…I spit green tea when I saw the word ding-dong. I’m going to look for everyone’s links to the full video. But I don’t know if I can take it all. Won’t it do something strange to my brain?
You know, I’m not sure how effective this is in getting someone to stop if they’re trying to get you to let your anus be more useful. They’ll just persist and pressure you more. A flat-out no is better.
The short video is very strange indeed.
Men can also get breast cancer.
I have high speed access and I don’t even want to watch it. Still haven’t clicked it. I don’t want to feel disturbed by any of it!
If you think that’s strange, look at this:

You know, if you’re a music student…I’m not sure if this makes the sense that you think it does.
But I’m not really in to Fonzie, so what do I know?
