This morning I saw a new cartoon on FOX. The Ripping Friends. It’s a spoofy super-hero cartoon. Yeah, it’s chock-full of sophisticated, high-brow humor.
Today’s episode was about one of the Friends’ shorts getting tossed into space and they got bombarded with space-radiation and came back to Earth and fell in a volcano and then get spat into an oozy swamp. Said shorts become sentient and (of course) evil.
The Evil Shorts had a cheap imitation Edward G. Robinson voice. When it slid itself onto an unsespecting victim, it could take over their mind! Through their butt!
The Ripping Friend who is a knock-off Kirk Douglas subdues he Evil Shrts by breaking the elastic waistband.
It made me think of jarbabe and SPOOFE. I don’t know why.
