    • @AMurderOfLobs
      @AMurderOfLobs 2 года назад

      Are you being sarcastic? Oh dear God, I hope so. If not, I fear for your psychological wellbeing. I almost have no words to describe how awful this writing is.
      First of all, it's just plain lazy. The writers don't even attempt to provide any reasonable motivation or backstory for the "evil head" villain. They just hand wave it away with one line from Dr. Zub saying "oh yeah, for reasons we don't understand, the head is just evil okay?" So of course they don't need to provide any justification for why Dr. Zub feels it's necessary to keep the super dangerous evil head just sitting around the office, unlocked and without even a warning sign or office memo. The writers were literally like "okay, we need a bad guy. how about there's just some evil head that's just evil for no reason? how did he get there? i dunno he's just evil and they just keep him there. BAM - we got our villain!"
      Secondly, the "humor" is just asanine, while lacking any internal consistency. Listen, I don't expect the jokes to be great, as it is a show for little kids and kids will laugh at anything remotely wacky or slapstick. I don't mind absurdity or immaturity. I think the Terrence and Philip bits on South Park are hilarious. Freddy Got Fingered is my favorite comedy. But this show actually insults the intelligence of the average 5 year old. Seriously, the jokes don't even make any sense! One example:
      After Ted is injured, Dr. Zub reassures him that he will make a full recovery because he "has a good head on his shoulders". Okay, I see the irony in using the figure of speech 'having a good your head on your shoulders', (which means that a person is a highly rational thinker), when it is literally the opposite of Ted's decapitated state. But for the joke to be funny, it cant just be a play on words. The actual words need to be logically consistent in their own right. Meaning, the statement he makes to Ted should provide reasons that support the likelihood of Ted's full physical recovery from the accident. But the figure of speech Dr. Zub used doesn't make an ounce of sense. Why would somebody's highly developed logical reasoning skills make them respond positively to surgical operations? If your friend required surgery for a broken leg, would you tell them, "You'll be all better after the surgery buddy! After all, you have such highly developed critical reasoning skills!" No, you wouldn't, unless you were a lunatic who had lost their grip on reality. It doesn't matter if you make a pun not, it's just totally irrelevant.
      This show is a nightmare, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that any members of the "creative" team responsible for it had ended their own lives by now.
      If you WERE being sarcastic, then yeah - agree 100%.

      @@AMurderOfLobs _“The writers don't even attempt to provide any reasonable motivation or backstory for the "evil head" villain.”_
      Dude, you just described 99% of fiction, kid or adult. The whole concept of an evil villain is moral justification for war, conquest, imperialism. We have to kill our enemy, they are evil!
      If you think that is lazy, then you think fiction is lazy.
      _“the "humor" is just asanine, while lacking any internal consistency”_
      The humour is not asinine, it is a pun bonanza. It is goofy for the sake of being goofy. These characters are crash dummies, they run into walls for fun. Of course the comedy should match that tone. Slapstick and silly dialogue, colourful and breezy.
      _”This show is a nightmare, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that any members of the "creative" team responsible for it had ended their own lives by now.”_
      This show is a pilot episode of a series that was never made, but it is fondly nostalgic for those who loved it. The atmosphere was more fun than most of the kids’ shows that did get made, especially the soulless CGI animation that dominates the present landscape of child media.
      You need to take a chill pill dude. You’re ranting like Junkman.

    When I was a kid, this VHS came bundled with a toy. However, due to language laws in Quebec, it was the French dub. Being 3 or 4 at the time, I didn’t understand it but watched it 100 times regardless and I kind of made up the lines and the story based on what my imagination could come up with.
    Now, over 30 years later, I come to RUclips, on a whim, and discover this. So many memories rush back and it’s crazy this core memory was reignited. Thanks for posting this!!

      Are you being sarcastic? Oh dear God, I hope so. If not, I fear for your psychological wellbeing. I almost have no words to describe how awful this writing is.
      First of all, it's just plain lazy. The writers don't even attempt to provide any reasonable motivation or backstory for the "evil head" villain. They just hand wave it away with one line from Dr. Zub saying "oh yeah, for reasons we don't understand, the head is just evil okay?" So of course they don't need to provide any justification for why Dr. Zub feels it's necessary to keep the super dangerous evil head just sitting around the office, unlocked and without even a warning sign or office memo. The writers were literally like "okay, we need a bad guy. how about there's just some evil head that's just evil for no reason? how did he get there? i dunno he's just evil and they just keep him there. BAM - we got our villain!"
      Secondly, the "humor" is just asanine, while lacking any internal consistency. Listen, I don't expect the jokes to be great, as it is a show for little kids and kids will laugh at anything remotely wacky or slapstick. I don't mind absurdity or immaturity. I think the Terrence and Philip bits on South Park are hilarious. Freddy Got Fingered is my favorite comedy. But this show actually insults the intelligence of the average 5 year old. Seriously, the jokes don't even make any sense! One example:
      After Ted is injured, Dr. Zub reassures him that he will make a full recovery because he "has a good head on his shoulders". Okay, I see the irony in using the figure of speech 'having a good your head on your shoulders', (which means that a person is a highly rational thinker), when it is literally the opposite of Ted's decapitated state. But for the joke to be funny, it cant just be a play on words. The actual words need to be logically consistent in their own right. Meaning, the statement he makes to Ted should provide reasons that support the likelihood of Ted's full physical recovery from the accident. But the figure of speech Dr. Zub used doesn't make an ounce of sense. Why would somebody's highly developed logical reasoning skills make them respond positively to surgical operations? If your friend required surgery for a broken leg, would you tell them, "You'll be all better after the surgery buddy! After all, you have such highly developed critical reasoning skills!" No, you wouldn't, unless you were a lunatic who had lost their grip on reality. It doesn't matter if you make a pun not, it's just totally irrelevant.
      This show is a nightmare, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that any members of the "creative" team responsible for it had ended their own lives by now.
      If you WERE being sarcastic, then yeah - agree 100%.

    When I was 5 yrs old I got this free on VHS,it came with the purchase of one the action figures(Which were amazing). And I was the youngest in the family,so my two older brothers thought it was too kidish for them so I watched it alone. I don't know what it was about this cartoon but it had a very odd effect on me,like no other 90s kid show did. I would watch it all the time when I had the TV to myself. I still don't know why I was so fascinated by this show and especially this episode I had on VHS,which I just learned now was the only episode made.
