Animaniacs

I was incredibly happy with Tumblr until they messed with the set-up for the post archives. Now the archives won't even load. On top of that they've started including ads. I'm not sure if that's what's screwing up the archive page, but it stinks that you can't browse past posts anymore.

Yeah, tumblr's archives have been shit to try to use. But that's the thing with the site. It's hard for a day to go by without some kind of change go on to the site, except for the kind that people actually one.

Yahoo! bought Tumblr back in May. Of course they would fuck it up. It's Yahoo! tradition.

The thing is, tumblr has seemingly always had bad updates.

Apparently tumblr started doing ads last year (from what I've read), but I never even noticed it until Yahoo moved in.

Anyway, I don't miss it.

This is why I have Ad Block on my computer. I rarely see ads on my dash anyway.

I love the ending to that episode. But man, it's a real shame to see Phil Hartman wasted there like that since he's usually so funny.

[Avaitor]

For an alternative, watch his episode of TaleSpin. That's a goodie, and I believe it's on the recently-released last volume too.

Both as a kid and an adult, that Good Idea/Bad Idea segment still makes me bust a gut.

I was watching ER last night, and caught this.



I thought it was pretty cool. This isn't the first time the show reminded us which studio made it, either. In the episode Tarantino directed in season 1, one of the girls (I think Susan) was wearing a Yosemite Sam shirt while sunbathing, while Lil Suzy has a Sylvester plushie.

I can't help but think the whole Hollywoodchuck short is just a joke about the old cliche arrogant small town kid coming to the big city to "be somebody". I would guess the whole lip gag is because he has a big mouth. I'm not going to say it succeeds at what it does, but I think there could have been a good short in there if it wasn't in the typical Animaniacs fashion of grinding a character down to paste and little else. Because while he is unlikeable... he's not that unlikeable. The things he suffers through is completely out of proportion to what would be considered funny.

The best part of the short is easily the narrator and the quote.

I've always had a soft spot for this Rita & Runt short in particular. It isn't a masterpiece, but it's just a pleasant ride for me, while "Survey Ladies" is a classic. And didn't South Park do the same Raiders reference before Family Guy did, too?
