2 Funny: Wally Gator in “Alligator Liberation”

silverstar Leave a comment

Today’s 2 Funny is one of my personal favorite Cartoon Network Shorties (the ones for Atom Ant and Droopy being the others). I’ve said this before, but I’d really like to see Turner make more of these (maybe they could be uploaded to Boomerang Online, since CN isn’t in the classic business anymore and no one really knows what Boomerang is supposed to be anymore). Here’s “Alligator Liberation”.

 

Some of my favorite bits:

  • Wally’s line “I’m thinking cable’s out of the question” gets me every time.
  • I like how the “savage” gators talk like erudite gentlemen with Thurston Howell III accents.
  • I think the female hippie animal activist is kind of cute.

Whaaaat

Today we have a “2-fer” (because it falls into 2 of our categories). The following sketch comes to us courtesy of the late Cartoon Network animated series MAD. It’s a musical number about the plight of being one the DC super heroes who aren’t the DC Trinity. Enjoy “That’s What Super Friends Are For”.

 

2 Funny/Nerdvana: The Wooden Song

Today’s 2 Funny is a rare treat: Dave and Gibby of the Butthole Surfers perform a live acoustic version of “The Wooden Song” from their album Independent Worm Saloon. There’s gotta be a double-entendre in there somewhere…

Why is this also a Nerdvana? Despite it being what it is, I honestly like the tune. To me, it sounds reminiscent of an old sea chantey and as such, the song conjures up images of a quaint little seaside town. You should know I’m strange by now. Enjoy.
