Why do the male cows on "Back at the Barnyard" have udders?

[QUOTE=Ruffian]
According to the IMDB:

And:

Linky.

So they did it on purpose to be funny. Yeah, it’s hysterical. :rolleyes:

I found it distractingly stupid, personally. Good thing it was just on Showtime and I could change the channel to something less annoying, like Rock of Love or something.

Hello! Hello? Is this thing on?

No. Sorry.

So many dead inner children… :frowning:

I would think think that the modeling of two suspended spheres would be relatively straightforward.

Don’t you mean “oblate spheroids”?

This morning when I told my daughter that her first-ever message board comment got some positive response, including “winning the thread” according to Tapioca Dextrin, she was watching Word World on PBS, a program in which the animals–Frog, Pig, Sheep–are made out of letters of the alphabet. . .

Now that that’s settled…why do male cartoon kangaroos have pouches?

That night Farmer Brown was kept awake by the sounds from the barn.
Click Clack Moo.
Click Clack Moo.
Clickity Clack Moo.

The following morning, duck (being a neutral party) handed Farmer Brown a note:

“Dear Farmer Brown,
We are unhappy cows. We demand hormones and surgery to become comfortable in our own hides. Also, sequined dresses.
Sincerly,
The Cows”

I love that book: Click Clack Moo (Transgendered Cows That Type)

Did you know that in the olden days, they used to refer to a bulls as a “gentleman cow” or “male cow” because the word “bull” was considered vulgar?

Future generations will make fun of our prudishness in refusing to put testicles on cartoon animals.

Oh it’s not THAT difficult. Pom Poko features anthropomorphic raccoons with very prominent scrotums. At one point they even use their nut-sacks as cudgels to beat the crap out of some police in riot gear. I’m sure **Barnyard ** could have done something similar.

I think I’d faint if that ever happened. The fact that the American cartoon industry hasn’t made a sexually explicit cartoon since Heavy Metal is one of my major pet peeves. (All of who have udders) :mad: :frowning:

And if she’s as smart as she sounds, she wasn’t the least bit impressed that her wise and obvious observation on a message board topic about cartoon cow udders was so well-received.

Minor nitpick: They aren’t raccoons, they are tanuki, or “raccoon dogs”, which are primitive canids.

I like to poke my dead inner child with a stick every so often just to make sure it’s still good and dead.

Mine’s bloated with decompositional gases. Poking it with a stick is inadvisable.

No kids and my S.O. has no room to complain about my talking during movies. I almost had to reenact Sweeney Todd on him the other night.

Well, I am glad I said “male cattle”.

You will be spared from the worst of the plagues.

Probably.

I find that the eviller I the less trustworthy I am.
