2 Funny: Gerry Todd & Droopy’s Good Deed

silverstar Leave a comment

Happy Saturday Morning to Ya! Because we’re so reasonably fond of you, today’s 2 Funny is a double feature! First up, a favorite bit of ours from Canada’s legendary comedy series, SCTV. Rick Moranis gets an entire segment to shine as the original Videot. Here’s the first episode of “The Gerry Todd Show”.

 

-Next up, a classic MGM cartoon featuring Droopy Dog. Here, Droopy is a Boy Scout (so he’s a kid in this? OK) competing to perform a good deed in order to meet the President, but an adult bulldog bum steps in to snatch the prize for himself. Enjoy “Droopy’s Good Deed”. (NOTE: this is the uncut version, so there are one or two ‘blackface’ gags in it that were clearly done pre-Political Correctness.)

2 Funny: Death. Taxes. Hillary

goldstar Leave a comment

Today’s 2 Funny comes to us courtesy of CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Stephen visits the Democratic National Convention and takes a bite out of a sidewalk Philly cheese steak sandwich, resulting in an entertaining freak out. Now here at Twinsanity, we purposely avoid discussing anything political, so this shouldn’t be seen as an endorsement of any kind; we just really like 1960s style psychadelic musical numbers. Enjoy “Death. Taxes. Hilary”.

2 Funny: Summertime is Great by Three Beat Slide

Summer is my favorite season for many reasons (three of the main ones: Hot Babes, Less Clothes, ‘Nuff Said), so to commemorate this awesome season, Twinsanity presents what is probably THE most mellow summer song of all time. Here’s “Summertime is Great” by the musical trio of a suburban dad and his 2 kids, collectively known as Three Beat Slide. Soak it in.

2 Funny: Lights Fantastic

goldstar Leave a comment

Today’s 2 Funny is one of my favorite “one shot” Looney Tunes shorts. This one directed by the great Friz Freleng. A tribute to the light shows in Times Square/ There’s no plot or story of any kind, just a series of skits and blackout gags, but it’s still hilarious. Sometimes artists do their best work with restricted tools. Enjoy “Lights Fantastic”.

The above is an excerpt. I wasn’t able to embed the entire short due to “technical reasons”.

2 Funny: Whiners Can Be Losers

Anyone who’s ever worked in an office or a corporate or team environment has experienced that one day or meeting where their unit succeeds at getting absolutely nothing done. The Super Friends’ archenemies the Legion of Doom are having just such a day in this favorite Cartoon Network bumper from back in the day. Enjoy.

Note how Solomon Grundy always just piggy backs onto whatever request the last person who spoke makes. The “Solomon Grundy want pants too!” line gets me every time. Good stuff.
