Funny Spoof of The Ugly Duckling

This is funny. I use it at school for Halloween/Thanksgiving themes and when I talk about parody. The kids love the final image of the Ugly Pumpkin walking into the sunset with his girlfriend.

Ever pick up one of "those" books, where the humor is so basal, the puns and inside jokes so primitive, you find yourself almost barking with laughter, in spite of yourself?  This is one of "those" books, I'm afraid.  The library patrons were met with my sheepish glances after I gave it a cursory preview as bedtime reading for my 5-year-old.  The youngster picks his nose, the sight gags are awful, and the father bunny gets to wear the coolest underwear, just like it should be in real life.  An excellent introduction to a hilarious series of books.  Hats off to Denim and Pilkey!

Asterix and his over-sized and under-witted friend Obelix set off for the land of the Nile in this adventure. It's a cockeyed retelling of Caesar's courtship of Cleopatra, with lots of silly plots, counter-ploys, and cartoony fights. The super-strength potion appears in this story as an aid to Egyptian engineering, as well as in the usual good-natured thrashing of Romans. (With Caesar on the scene, there are plenty of Romans for everyone.)

Asterix and the rest have provided good natured and kid safe humor since the 1960s. Blackface stereotypes won't sit well with 21st century sensibilities, but some will be able to read around such things and still enjoy this perennial favorite.

The movie is HORRRRRIBLE but made hilarious by the RiffTrax comments. I will definitely be looking for more of the RiffTrax movies.

Imagine a world where puppets lived among us and experienced the same trials and tribulations as we do.  The creators of Greg the Bunny did when they created this fresh and hilarious series.  Why it did not take off, I do not understand.  It was definitely promoted well.  Maybe this reasonably-priced DVD of its 13 episodes will help this show go the route of the newly-revived Family Guy (one never knows).  Anyway, the following is what Greg the Bunny left us (and we're still trying to clean it all up):

1. "Welcome to Sweetknuckle Junction":  Discrimination make it difficult for puppets (er, "fabricated Americans") to obtain jobs outside of the whack-a-mole machine at the arcade or kiddie television programs like Sweetknuckle Junction.  Jimmy's puppet roommate Greg the Bunny is facing that situation and luckily Jimmy's father Gil directs the SJ show.  When star Rochester Rabbit can no longer cut it, Greg wins the audition to takeover his job.  Will Rochester wage his revenge on the cute little bunny?

2. "Sock Like Me": This episode never aired and is my favorite on this DVD.  An anti-puppet slur (the "S" word, in this case, is "Sock") is written on the restroom wall which starts a campaign of anti-puppetism education.  Hilarious take on the human world of sensitivity training.

3. "Dottie Heat": Greg has puppet love for the wild Dottie.  Will the little bunny become a rabbit?  The puppets at the poker table gossiping about Sesame Street puppets (Burt and Ernie are straight...no way!) is a highlight.

4. "SK-2.0": A children's focus group, and Jimmy's advice, cause the show to go MTV.

5. "Piddler on the Roof": Warren, the alcoholic puppet gorilla who aspires to be a great Shakespearean actor, is literally p'd off when he thinks Alison will not let him perform Shakespeare on the show.

6.  Jimmy tries to make Alison jealous by coming on to this hideous-looking puppet Susan who smells of Scotchguard.  Meanwhile, to stop his constant nightmares, Greg tries to get Rochester back on the show.  The Rochester Roast is one of the funniest scenes in the series.

7. "Father and Son Reunion": Jimmy tries to cope with his parent's divorce.  His mother is played by Julie Hagerty from the Airplane movies.

8. "Jimmy Drives Gil Crazy":  Corey Feldman guest stars in this never aired episode where an errand to scoop up poop in Warren's yard ends up with Jimmy tied to Warren's bed & Greg and Feldman taking a joyride in Warren's car.

9. "Greg Gets Puppish": Another one of my favorites.  Greg tries to get back to his "puppish" roots with the help of the Jesse Jackson of the Puppet world.  A topic that hits very close to home.

10. "Surprise!": The cast tries to impress the TV Guide reporter that they are one big, happy family by giving Junction Jack a surprise birthday party.

11. "The Jewel Heist": Greg keeps getting attacked by the dog of Jimmy's new girlfriend.  Jack has a rather drastic, and irreversible, solution to the problem.

12. "The Singing Mailman": Dottie's in trouble when a Goodwill employee blackmails her after finding a porno video in a bag of her donated clothes.

13. "Blah Bawls": About my favorite character, Count Blah. Jimmy and Greg try to find Blah, who is pining away for his long dead wife, a new woman.  Blah ends up with Warren's ex (played by Mary Lou Henner).  Note: Blah's wife's headstone is engraved "Beloved Wife Blah" and "R.I.P.B."

Besides the two un-aired episodes, fans of the series will also enjoy a lot of extras with this set, including commentaries, an interview with Greg and Seth Green, promos, photo gallery, etc.  The puppet porno gallery that is advertised on the insert does not seem to be included (maybe that is a good thing).

Filled with sickly unerotic sex of many varieties (girl/girl incest, girl/guy, girl/girl/guy, and solo sex with sonic corn cobs), this film should be too disgusting to watch.

But it's not. Well, not if you're drinking, anyways.

The black kleptomaniacal 'fairy' godmother (played to the hilt by Sy Richardson), the naive and *very* blonde Cinderella (played by the late Cheryl "Rainbeaux" Smith), and the comically stoic Lord Chamberlain (Kirk Scott) all make this film a hoot.

And the two songs...the driving disco duet between Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother "Stick it to the Man", and the hilarious angst-filled song sung by the bored, oversexed Prince "My Kingdom Won't Come" also help to not only make this movie worth seeing (at least for folks who like campy movies and can stand the terrible and completely unappealing sex scenes), but worth buying on DVD as well.

Theres no shame in being adorable and cute.  I was not prepared to like this movie as much as I did.  Its just the right kind of silly.  I don't even mind that Martin Short voiced one of the villainous egg-aliens.  This is a diabolically clever cartoon.

This is a funny (low-brow, guy stuff) movie but it illustrates modeling, goal setting, building self esteem and other NLP processes.

Some movies are silly, but fun.  This is a horror/comedy in the line of "Tucker and Dale versus Evil," though a bit lower budget.  The special effects are not terrible nor is the acting.  The movie is firmly tongue-in-cheek and offers a few laugh out loud moments.  For fans of "Eight Legged Freaks" or Saturday afternoon "Creature Feature" movies, this is worth watching.

If they had not been written at a later date, to me, the K.M. Peyton novels "The Flambards" could have been a part of what inspired Stella Gibbon in 1932 to write her brilliant and very humorous spoof, "Cold Comfort Farm" which is also about an orphaned girl going to live with some very strange (skuzzy) relatives on a decrepit farm. The heroine of that story eventually restores the farm through her own aggressiveness and resilience.  This DVD of the BBC's 1978 adaptation of "The Flambards" is no spoof; however, it is a serious tale about an orphaned girl that has exhausted her welcome at her aunts' homes and has come to stay with her very surly, bitter and crippled uncle and his two rather strange sons--one being nasty and a very unkind snob loving to hunt and ride horses and the other being misunderstood but very nice and not a snob hating to hunt and ride horses but loving airplanes.  The reason that she is even welcomed in the uncle's home is that when she "comes of age" she has an inheritance which makes her very desirable as a daughter-in-law.  Plus once she becomes a "woman of means", she can restore the crumbling Flambards farm.
Although the acting is good and the series gets better as it goes along, I basically found the whole enterprise to be rather dated with the picture quality of the DVD being rather fuzzy especially in the first two episodes and the sound quality being very poor through out all of the episodes--I could not understand the dialog over the irritating background music plus, (I'm afraid, to me),  the entire series has one of the worse sound tracts that I've ever heard--it almost drove me to drink (not that I need any excuse)--(I really did not understand the use of the word"mum" over and over in the recurring theme music; it was as if the singers had run out of words to sing and were just making incoherent vocal sounds to the music;after the "mums" stop then there is some infernal whistling .  All that I do know it annoyed me immensely.)
I had not seen this program previously; therefore, this was my first exposure to the Flambards.  Therefore, I have no great nostalgia for this program which no doubt affected my opinion of this presentation.
Needless, to say, I was disappointed with this DVD of "The Flambards"

"Lysistrata Jones," with music and lyrics by Lewis Flinn is like a mash-up of "Legally Blonde" and "Xanadu," and about as good (which is to say, fun, but insubstantial).  This aggressively silly adaptation of "Lysistrata," an ancient play by Aristophanes (the musical's book is by Douglas Carter Beane), features Patti Murin as Lysistrata Jones, who, unhappy with her college's basketball team's losing streak, organizes her fellow coeds to refuse sex to the players until they shape up (the sex-refusing comes from the original "Lysistrata."). The peppy pop score by Flinn is mainly enjoyable, particularly in the first act. The best numbers, including "Right Now: Opening," "Change the World," "No More Giving it Up," and "I Don't Think So," are amusing and catchy, and do an impressive job moving the plot along (no small feat, that!). Unfortunately, the second act devolves into a cacophony of noise and feels a lot blander. Murin is enjoyable in the lead role, and Liz Mikel makes a memorable impression as the sassy narrator-of-sorts.

Dunt mees deiss felm...I say in my best Russian "blonde bombshell" voice :)  Watching the movie for her alone was enough...it will make you smile, and talk " lik dis". The "doctor" is also raunchy, but hey, if that is funny to you, then there is reason number two to watch. Over all, a good way to waste a little mindless time...and the best thing... is that it's all basically the way it works (scamming the system)!  For the reviewers that gave it just one star? I guess they failed to see the irony :)
PS...Turn off the caption's....they speed by and are finished in record time.

It's so elfing cute. The innuendo, especially by little Nicky is hilarious. This second chance for romance for Dash and Vixen is looking iffy at best, but meddling mom and uncle aside these two are really made for each other. There Christmas time trials are not to be missed.

Merry Christmas!

And now for something rather different. With a blend of cutsie artwork in a Wonderland fairytale world, and bloody gory violence Skottie Young brings a humorous farce to fairytale comics. Best suited for teens and up; there is no nudity, the swearing is made up words and while very, very bloody the violence is cartoonish. I got a good laugh out of this and enjoyed the parodies of specific fairy tales and fairy tale devices. Gertrude is one nasty 40yo trapped in her 8yo body but you've got to like her. I think I'd go crazy being stuck in a brightly coloured candyland for 20 years too! One of my favourite parts is each issue starts off with a different narrator from the narrator's guild because Gertrude kills them for talking about her. This book certainly won't be for everyone, but if you've got a sense for dark humour this should grab your funny bone.

It is irreverent and offensive... and just completely hilarious. The only negative is that it is really, really, short.  On the other hand, look at the price: You'd pay more than that for a greeting card, and which would you rather read?
