Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

Of course there's always the cartoons for grownups - (I didn't want to put adult cartoons).

I prefer the more direct humour of Tom and Jerry. Although it is clever in its rejection of the interllectual in favour of braining Tom with a frying pan.

Yeah, I'm with you on Tom and Jerry - though there's a golden period, following the prototypical experiments with animations of skanky-looking Tom and rotund, childish Jerry, and before the thing was hijacked by Hanna-Barbera and you got to see the humans' faces.

The best Tom and Jerry cartoons are produced by Fred Quimby, as the intro credits'll tell you about fifteen seconds in. But I'm such a geek, I don't need to see that. I can tell whether it's a good one even if I'm in the next room, just from the recording quality of the signature tune.

If you're talking about grown-up cartoons, I'd recommend Drawn Together - the premise is that cartoon characters from different genres and eras are thrown together in a kinda Big Brother House. It's relentlessly tasteless.

I loved Bugs too, learned all my show tunes from him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2L_7m_4mI

I like the show, the jokes are brilliant - a bit like the adults and the kids I heard laughing at different times in the cinema during the untouchables...

I have to assume that the kids around your way have a dark and rather twisted sense of humour that the adults completely miss. But I'd still like to know what the grown-ups found funny in this....

I have got to get that movie: all the greats are in it...it's not funny though...well, maybe that Robert Deniro smile you always expect.

I'm never far from foolishness.

I mean of course the Incredibles.

The kids have become rather dark and twisted now - being 20 and 16. I bought then Don't Look Now in recognition of this for xmas.

Can't beat the WB Loonie Tunes. Whenever I hear the opening theme I recall a "Revenge of the Nerds" moment in high school. The football jocks had a lousy season one year and the band geeks decided to get even by playing the looney tunes, toon as the football team ran out onto the field at the start of a game.
I believe it was this version... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0S77...eature=related

"King of the Hill" re runs are the regular fare at 8:00 pm. In fact I'm catching the second episode now.
Paul you might appreciate this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kK4DBoGAxA

Good King of the Hill clip. I wonder what the Monk's view of propane is.

Just sat through an episode of Teletubbies. Seems to me they've burnt out, the plot was boring and predictable the acting was second rate (apart from the rabbits.) They've definitely lost their edge.

Bring back Andy Pandy I say.

Teletubbies always had it over Boobah.

When I first saw this, when my kids were young - honest, I thought I was having a flashback.

Andy Pandy was good - the first kiddies programme I remember sseeing. I did like The Herbs though.

Flashback!?...I thought I was on mushrooms!
Talk about sensory overload.

I don't know, but seeing the baked beans, chocolate and satin sheets brought this song to mind... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ee8...eature=related

That is one kinky woman, have you ever been in bed after someone eats crackers....of course, that's not quite as bad as when they eat chocolate on the couch.

That is one kinky woman, have you ever been in bed after someone eats crackers...

Sadly, I face this dilemma each night. Slepping on cracker crumbs and salt crystals is like sleeping on a bed of nails. Eventually, I learned to keep one of those small hand held vacuums next to the bed. Unfortunaltely the aperatue of the vacuum is so small, it was taking too long to clear up the crumbs, so now I lay down "shield" blanket on my side of the bed.
