Do I Have to Walk?

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law is an amazing show that was on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim for three seasons. In each episode Harvey Birdman would do his lawyer thing for a different classic cartoon character. In this one, the Jetsons go back in time to sue civilization for global warming. Here’s one of my favorite clips from the entire series:

I highly recommend netflixing this show if you haven’t seen it. I personally believe it’s the best Adult Swim original content there’s ever been.

I want to be a mindtaker when I grow up.

copycat! I just posted a monday muse about a show from cartoon netwerx.
By Justin, March 9, 2010 @ 10:36 pm

Hilarious! Hard to pick a favorite moment. I love when Judy falls over from exhaustion and a pack of dogs just happens to show up at that precise moment to drag her off. And I love the way the buzzards are picking at Astro’s carcass the next morning (my dog Prospero should have been named Astro, btw — he talks almost like Astro). Judy devouring her way up Birdman’s tie at the end was also quite droll.

Ryan: I had to google “mindtaker”. That was when I realized the host really wasn’t “Hawkman” from the DC comics but actually “Birdman” as he is addressed by the Hippo. I remember Space Ghost from Saturday Morning cartoons (and I’ve seen his talk show on the Cartoon Network and a few other Adult Swim things) but I don’t remember Birdman somehow. My comic-book/cartoon nerd qualifications may be slipping …

Where’s Aquaman? Birds are stupid. :-p

I have to say that my favorite episode was the Flintstones with the Sopranos theme.
The scene where there’s a bird testifying and Fred jumps up and says “You’re dead to me can opener!” was classic.

here’s a little taste of that one:

Oooooooh. Us Canadians can’t watch that clip because we’re evil soul sucking liberals. Yeah. Yeah. I’ll trust you it’s hilarious. Bastards.
By Craig, March 10, 2010 @ 9:06 am

Personally, I’d take clips of beloved cartoon characters kicking the bucket over free healthcare anytime.
By Polt, March 10, 2010 @ 10:25 am

I LOVED the episode with Apache Chief when he spilled coffee on himself and then sued. “What kind of superhero loses his powers to a cup of coffee in the crotch?!?!?!?!?!” Best line ever!

HUGS…

That’s hilarious!
By Tam, March 10, 2010 @ 10:44 am

Smartass.
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 10:47 am

Tam — he’ll be singing a different tune the next time he flies off an “enourmous ramp” and breaks something
By Polt, March 10, 2010 @ 12:12 pm

Ah, but there’s SOOO much more attractive about Canada other than just the free healthcare! I mean, there’s the Gold Medal Winning Olympic Hockey Teams, there’s the awesomeness that IS William Shatner, there’s *shudder* poutine, there’s tuques, and there’s all the cute gay Asians in Toronto! Right, Tam, right? Preach it, sista!

HUGS…
By Paul, March 10, 2010 @ 12:22 pm

There are gay Asians in Toronto?
How come I was not informed of this!!!
By Mark, March 10, 2010 @ 12:38 pm

I never realized Scooby Doo was a total ripoff of Astro until this video.

And Craig: “Personally, I’d take clips of beloved cartoon characters kicking the bucket over free healthcare anytime.”

Are you turning into a Tea bagger?
By Tam, March 10, 2010 @ 1:10 pm

Paul: How you could miss Polt extolling the virtues of the gay Asian population in Toronto I’m not sure. We have them here in Ottawa too. LOL And me, don’t forget me. I’m here.
By Craig, March 10, 2010 @ 1:20 pm

I’m more like a kiwibagger.
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 10, 2010 @ 1:31 pm

Kiwis? I would have expected you to be more ambitious.
By Mark, March 10, 2010 @ 1:36 pm

OK, that’s cool. That means you think New Zealand Health Care is Hot…Right? And you won’t grow a scraggley gray beard with tobacco stains in it; Reassuring.

Off topic (as usual), Check out idump4u.com, The “Valentines Day Massacre” message # 2 is hilarious.
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 1:53 pm

Kiwis? Ambitious? I’m soooo confuuuuused! Ryan, do I need remedial Puntabuperv education?

Bee tee double-ewe: I *know* was late commenting on the sledding post but I thought my little story was quite funny and my narcissistic need for constant attention and approval is not being satisfied in the slightest!!!
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 10, 2010 @ 1:58 pm

Justin: I assumed that Craig was asserting that he had kiwi sized balls rather than teabag sized balls. Given his claims about the size of the Puntabuschlong, I was expecting grapefruit if not watermelons.
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 2:05 pm

Ahhh. So although kiwis are larger than teabags, they weren’t larger by *enough*? (Sorry, I just had to rape the last shred of funny out of this joke …)
By Mel, March 10, 2010 @ 2:08 pm

I loved that show! I loved ‘Home Movies’, too.
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 10, 2010 @ 2:09 pm

Justin: What are kiwis going to do when attached to something that (judging by the previous post) can only fit into something the size of the Grand Canyon?
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 10, 2010 @ 2:10 pm

Mel: The guy who voiced the coach on Home Movies also does the voice of the main character in Archer. It still confuses me.
By Polt, March 10, 2010 @ 2:44 pm

Paul: Have you ever BEEN to the Palace? Sweet Mary Mother Of God, like every third post there is about gay, Asians, men, Toronto, or some combination thereof!

HUGS….
By Paul, March 10, 2010 @ 3:02 pm

There are posts that you read at the Palace?
I must have been distrated by all the pictures.
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 3:17 pm

… so distracted in fact that you forgot how to type or spell “distracted”

I hope everybody has realized that Puntabutweep David Musselwhite (@dmusselwhite) has a new blog at http://www.limerentlad.com. Alas he is only going to post a picture of a hunk once a MONTH (which I think shows a marked lack of healthy priorities), and I’m trying to get him to risk life and limb by taking lascivious photographs of fellow students at exercise, which he’s so far *totally* refusing to do. Nonetheless, all Puntabublogs must be supported
By Craig, March 10, 2010 @ 3:34 pm

Ryan: Seasons of Carnivale are on sale at Amazon for $15.99 each. I’m this close to ordering them.
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 10, 2010 @ 3:46 pm

Ooooooooooooo…. I need to buy the second season when I get home.
By Tam, March 10, 2010 @ 4:11 pm

Once a month? I change my hottie du jour every day, well, almost, maybe every 36 hours. That’s as it should be. Although sometimes he even has clothes on.
By Mark, March 10, 2010 @ 4:25 pm

Tam, every gay boy out there, whose parents are “horrified” by their gayness, needs to come to your house and feel the Love. I wish I had known a woman like you when I was a teenager. Love You!
By Tam, March 10, 2010 @ 4:40 pm

Love you too Mark. Although I think I’m good with one teenager for now. I wish they could all feel some love though.
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 5:18 pm

Thankfully, Mark, the internet has made it so much easier for gay teens to find support and friendship online even if they live in isolated rural homophobic areas. Not to mention that popular culture is so saturated now with so many positive role-models that just in my lifetime I’ve seen such a gigantic sea-change it still hardly seems real to me. I *truly* never would have guessed, even as late in my life as when I turned 30, that I would *ever* in my life see gay marriage become a reality in any part of the United States. Now is a better time to grow up gay than at any time in history probably since the conversion of Emperor Constantine
By Mark, March 10, 2010 @ 5:39 pm

Justin, you’re right from my ancient 47 yo perspective, but I still think this world would be a better place if we had a few thousand Tams around. And while I’m sucking up to my favs, Thanks Craig for not hating me when I pull a Kanye. I Love you too!
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 5:52 pm

Wow. Another old-timer! And yet — alas — I’m still the oldest!!! Even — yes I said *EVEN* — Polt is younger than me!!

And we all love Craiggers. This blog’s comment section is just one big happy wet love-fest! *clean up on aisle 5!!*
By Polt, March 10, 2010 @ 6:16 pm

HEY! HeyheyheyheyHEY! Don’t be hatin’!

HUGS….
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 6:31 pm

*chuckle* I *knew* that would get a response from you, O Purple One.

I-I-I-I’m not hatin’

I merely took my inspiration from Enrico’s post on Chatroulette (aka, P33nroulette), where he used the words “over the hill” cleverly linked to your blog.

*kisses*

By Mark, March 10, 2010 @ 7:00 pm

Justin: Don’t mind Polt, as long as you stay off his lawn he’s a teddy bear.
By Justin, March 10, 2010 @ 7:13 pm

Oh, I’ve seen the pictures. I’d say he’s pretty much a bear no matter whose lawn you’re stepping on. I mean a TEDDY bear. Teddy bear. Yeah. That’s it.

Oh Gawd! First Twitter, now Chatroulette. Face it people, Craig is going to be gone for weeks at the time. At least I still have the eczema helpline to talk to.
By Mark, March 10, 2010 @ 8:55 pm

OK Craig, Sit still for five seconds and listen to me!!!! I’ve figured out your problem. burnsa34 said he was sweaty from the gym. Your reply was “Gross”. How do you expect him to know how much you want to scrub him clean if you just give a “gross” twat? I mean Damn, let the man know what you really want. This is what is wrong with twitter, not his tweet but your response. Why do I have to fix everything???

Craig: I ordered season two of both Carnivale and Terminator. I even used your linky thingy.
By Justin, March 11, 2010 @ 11:43 am

I’m so beyond all salvation … I read Ryan’s comment as “kinky thingy”. :-$
By Polt, March 11, 2010 @ 12:08 pm

Justin, I read it that way too…although no one should really be surprised by that at all.

HUGS…
By Craig, March 11, 2010 @ 12:21 pm

Awesome! Thanks Ryan!
By Craig, March 11, 2010 @ 12:54 pm

Here’s the current Amazon order I’m toying with:

X-Men: The Animated Series: Volume 1: $12.99
X-Men: The Animated Series: Volume 2: $12.99
Carnivale: Season 1: $15.99
Carnivale: Season 2: $15.99
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Season 2: $16.99
Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Backlash: $14.58

All that for under $100. It seems like a lot of money to spend for no reason, but it’s all stuff I’m gonna want eventually, and the deals are great right now. I don’t want to let them go by. And I deserve it damn it! But still nervous clicking the button.
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 11, 2010 @ 12:57 pm

Justin/Polt: No, Craig’s kinky thingy would be the sled from the previous post. I would insist that it be thoroughly cleaned before I used it.

Craig: You would be getting both seasons of Carnivale for what I paid for one.
By David, March 11, 2010 @ 1:20 pm

Wow. This week has been insanity at work. I can’t believe how far behind in this thread I am.

I started watching Harvey Birdman about seven years ago.
By Craig, March 11, 2010 @ 3:17 pm

Purchased. Sweeeeeet.
By Polt, March 11, 2010 @ 3:43 pm

Oooooh, okay, so THIS is the happiness you purchased. Okay, got it. I’ve been eyeing up Batman: The Animated Series from the 90′s. I remember it at the time and enjoyed it, although I don’t recall all the episodes. So who knows. Not right now with a mortgage, car payment, $200 electric bill, Discover card,etc, etc, etc.

Although, I should have my taxes back by the end of the month, so maybe then.

HUGS…

Did you luck out?
By Justin, March 11, 2010 @ 8:06 pm

So many things to say.

First off, Ryan, dude — I’m actually kind of surprised at you. I suspect that Craig has numerous adoring fans who would not only NOT wash his sled, but would actually enshrine it and do god knows what else to it.

David — I’ve been insanely busy too. But as for Harvey Birdman, I thought you didn’t have cable, or didn’t have a tv. Or something. I’m obviously confused… Maybe it’s you that doesn’t have the tv and Josherz that doesn’t have cable, or maybe it’s the other way around.

Craig — you find $100 a lot to spend? You’re such a responsible young man. I drop $100 easily just eating out But then, I’m terrible at finances and I’m probably going to end up alone and homeless and living in a shelter constructed out of the thousands of books I’ve bought and haven’t had time to read. At least I also have *quite* a few DVDs and CDs I can use to cover the books with to keep the rain out.

Oh, and would it make you feel jealous to hear that I have an Amazon.com visa card which gives me $25 cash back for every — god knows what — so many thousands? — I spend. And I currently have a balance of about $800 or so on my Amazon account from all those certificates. I use that card for almost everything, *except* eating out, for which I use my CostCo Amex card when possible. I usually get about $400 back a year from them too. I’m a weapon — and yes, I know that I hadn’t even heard of Lily Allen when both Jere and Kári posted these lyrics — of Mass Consumption.

*NOT* that I’ve ever been the kind of guy to keep a rolling balance on my credit cards. At least I’m too responsible for that. No, I just do smart things like refinance my house with cash-out mortgages or run up balances on Home Equity Lines. At least it’s tax deductible. Who cares if I currently owe 2.5x what I paid for the house in 1996? (At least I don’t have car payments — my car is 11 years old!!)
By The Ryan with the Cupcake, March 11, 2010 @ 11:10 pm

Justin: Good point. I could make baby Craigs!
