dope plane reviews: South Park, Simpsons, Eric Andre, Adventure Time, Fooly Cooly, Rocky III
Reporting live from layover in Iceland. We just watched a lot of TV for the entire ride over here. Here's what we saw:
Good Times With Weapons
Episode 1 from Season 8 of South Park, March 2004. We're guessing this was the first episode after Janet Jackson nipple thing, which was all very silly in retrospect. Our favorite part was hearing the original audio of Professor Chaos (Butters) grunting "Let's see how you like dealing with me. Mwah hahahaha!" which is used anytime you select the Professor Chaos option in The Stick of Truth. The best joke here might be the anime depiction of Cartman, whose grotesque obesity is more detailed than usual.
Das Bus
Episode 14 from Season 9 of The Simpsons. 12 or so kids from Springfield Elementary, including Milhouse, Bart and Lisa, are trapped on an island where some Lord of the Flies shit goes down. Meanwhile, Homer starts an internet-improvement business from home. We only vaguely remember this one, and the jokes are not as classic as we remembered. Our favorite joke was probably Milhouse saying something to the effect of "Come on grapefruit!" while watching it roll down the isle of Otto's bus. It presents some early examples of the stale and more formulaic jokes that would become more commonplace in future seasons, although the storyline is decent.
The Eric Andre Show, Episode 2, Season 2
Titled on Wikipedia as "Krysten Ritter; Dominic Monaghan." We watched four episodes of this show on the flight, and they all kinda blend into each other, so we won't bother reviewing them individually. Definitely best editing out of any show on TV right now, and the best editing since Tim & Eric. Fucking unreal and very funny.
Furi Kuri
The first episode of Fooly Cooly or FLCL. Dope as hell, and dense enough that it definitely requires a second viewing. So far, we gather that it's some sort of strange coming of age story with really bizarre images and an intentional attempt to confuse the viewer, like if a 3-hour David Lynch movie were condensed into 25 minutes.
Princess Day
Episode 14 from Season 6 of Adventure Time. We actually watched episodes 11 through 14, but this one (the most recent) is the one we liked the best, mostly because LSP and Marcy join forces, although they don't really accomplish a whole lot other than establishing a bond and acting like assholes. But they're both very lovable characters who we the viewers have grown to adore, like so many of our other friends in the Candy Kingdom. This may be the main reason why we haven't gone full-on rage quit on this show just yet. It seems like Season 6 may be falling into the same pit as Season 9 of The Simpsons - starting out with a bang, but almost entirely losing steam by the halfway point. Like, how much longer are we gonna have to wait to see another actual adventure featuring Finn and Jake?
Like a few episodes back, there was a story about Maja The Sky Witch stealing Princess Bubblegum's prized possession, a rock band t-shirt that was given to her by Marceline. Maja plans to use the emotional power within the t-shirt to wreak havoc on the Candy Kingdom. This seemed like a pretty compelling story, especially after the sudden resolution of the whole thing with Finn's arm. But the last we heard of that story was like 6 episodes ago (a.k.a over 2 months ago since these days it takes Cartoon Network like three weeks to air anything new).
Okay, we're exhausted and rambling, so let's move on...
Quest For Ratings
Episode 11 from Season 8 of South Park. We thought we had seen every South Park, but this was a rare fresh oldie that we only just now caught for the first time. It's not the A+ we were hoping for, although the robo-tripping sequence was dope as fuck.
The Joy of Sect
Episode 13 from Season 9 of The Simpsons. This is the one where Homer gets brainwashed by a cult after they sing "Nananananananana Lead-er" to the tune of the '60s Batman theme. It brought back some memories. Mr. Burns also tries to start his own religion during a mid-episode mini-story-arc.
Rocky III
We didn't finish it yet. The last thing we saw was Mr. T yelling at Rocky and saying he's gonna go fuck his wife and offering her the opportunity to be with a real man. For some reason, we recall Hulk Hogan's part being way more violent. Mr. T is so pissed at Rocky. But Rocky just wants to stay soft and doesn't wanna train hard like the way Mickey's been pushing him. Things are gonna get tough before they get better for Rocky.

can i borrow a 1996 feeling?
Hey big spender, spend some dough at table 3. So much classic rainful for sale, you can't get this too many spots. Wah-pedals for half-off. This guy's son keeps a secret movie in the same trucks that they used to do that class assembly that they had out in the truck, and like, hoots the owl and there as some cat or something who they would only show with the lights off and the music got loud.
Just about ready to start gettin' pumped for some Mack an Chaayz.
This portion of top 884 songs of 1996 was compiled and submitted by "the man and his boy." All da rest is straight up hype.
yesh yesh y'all. this one is confusing because the Youtube calls the group "Fab 5" but elsewhere they're called "Heltah Skeltah."
This video links to the entire album... Recorded live, Eye kicks things off announcing "WE PLAY FORTY-EIGHT SONGS," and then that's what they do within the next 10 minutes. We Are Voice And Rhythm Only is sung by Eye from Boredoms and featuring drums from Chu. Eye screams "FUCKOFF" at the end of all 48 songs. "24H?" just happens to be the longest at 39 seconds, although our favorite part is probably the sequence between tracks 18, 19 and 20: "Sky," "Sea" and "Earth" respectively.
how sold is it? speed racer ass race is about to ascend past like 4 stratospheres.
The "LL" stands for "Licks Lips." We tried to find a still or video but nothing works as well as "Doin' It." He has a lot of female callers in the video all the same voice.
Who is the real No Doubt in this video? You n meee we usta bee togehhh-thu
"You can trouble me for a glass of shut the hell up." - Chavez, 1996
"Watch out Itchy! He's Irish!" - Carnun
This was the big cover. allthe kids in high school were way into singing along to this. symphonic band director was all like "she's sounds just like roberta flack. they destroyed a great song." HELL FUKCIN YEAH THEY DID. Also in the video possibly a part where someone does the trick where he opened the bottom of the popcorn so that Mister Kinnish can fit through much to the enjoyment of his ladyfriends.
sdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd fuck i fell asleep
Dat punk bitch can step off.. We can protect you aganist his wrath babygirl. Drake is very very bad. This man must be stopped.
This isn't the song "Special Agent: Rake" which is not on youtube but this one is pretty close so we went with it.
This played at Whole Foods the other day. In other news Simple Plan now gets played at SS&S. "Grocery store jams" were once a sacred concept. What happened? More Paul Davis IMO.
We wanted "Lovey Dovey" but couldn't find a video.. This one is really good also and Joe D destroys the kit as usual.
From some Ted Demme movie.
Good video, it sounds pretty much just like the recording.. released a year before the album it appears on.
break through like the wu unexpectedly protect ya neck
Yeah cool we just wanted to throw a fash cartoon in the middle of this for no fucking reason.
We forgot these guys names but it looks like they haven't given up those ouftits just yet. Very handsome bros.
From the Street Spirit single, this is one of those low-key chill kinda songs, totally unproduced and totally catchty
Cool, memory served correcly and we get check out some amazing pics...
Not sure if that happened in '96, but it might as well haven.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l31UUl5SyXk this might help
Oh Ben, we love ya. For the title, we were confused if they were asking about that summer feeling, like "where's summer" and then "B" is just like their pal down the street. Makes total sense to us.
more annoyance is on the way ... brain wont let me stop...
