The concept of “Sweding a film” may no longer be in vogue, much like saying whether or not something is in vogue, but I love what these guys have done.
It’s pretty self-explanatory.
It’s awesome.
It’s a live-action version of the intro to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon:
When I was younger, my sister had these toys called Sylvanian Families:
Are the accelerator suits and weapons sold separately?
If they were anything at all like the rabbits in this Japanese cartoon, I might have taken them from her. That is all.
(SIDENOTE: I know this has been out there for a while, but I just found this one with English subtitles… which subsequently has been out there for a while. I know it’s probably not too shocking and therefore not really Hibbidy-Wah-worthy, but… ah, I don’t need to explain myself. But really – Cat Shit One?)
I know my co-workers found no joy in these videos. They succinctly and collectively proclaimed, “I don’t get it.”
Sure, the animated shorts might be a “little bit wrong” (I pretend the heroes have been in a few too many losing battles), but I find Baman and Piderman entertaining. (The latest video is below; the other videos are here.) I can’t say that I “get it” exactly either, and it might mean that I’m a “little bit wrong.”
Perhaps a little bit wrong can be all right.
If you found that distasteful or unfunny, maybe this is more your speed:
Tact is not in my boss Paul’s vocabulary. It wasn’t even when while we are friends. In memory of Michael Jackson, here’s some of his favorite depictions… from two shows.
Top 5 Michael Jackson Cartoon Clips
5. South Park
Blanket can fly, “That’s ignorant,” and who has whose nose?
4. Family Guy
The dancer, the legend, and his crotch.
3. Family Guy
Captain EO is “coming right at me!”
2. South Park
“I’d like to show you my wishing tree!”
1. South Park
“You’re so awesome, Mr. Jefferson! I’ve got time, do you?”
I’d never proclaim to be a huge fan of wrestling. Even back before the World Wildlife Fund made them change their name, I wasn’t too into any of the WrestleManias or the Sunday matches. A few of my friends were, though, so the WWE superstars of the day blipped my pop culture radar. And a little cartoon BITD (“back in the day”) also helped:
But since this Sunday (tomorrow) is WrestleMania XXV, I’m going to post the best things I ever think came out of the WWF WWE… BITD, of course.
5) “Macho Man” Randy Savage sure did love him some Slim Jims. Why it’s relevant to me? On a trip to Houston, Texas, there was one day I devoted to eating only Slim Jims and pickles, and drinking MGD. The next day I devoted to the hotel bathroom.
4) Andre the Giant was in The Princess Bride. Why it’s relevant to me? I always thought he seemed like a nice guy, and the movie helped confirm that (if I remember correctly). Man, I haven’t seen that movie in a long time. All I truly remember is the scene where Wesley and the “Inconceivable!” guy keep switching poisoned glasses. And Inigo Montoya, of course.
3) Sargent Slaughter was a G.I. Joe toy and on the cartoon! Why it’s relevant to me? He was on the cartoon! (I wasn’t allowed to collect G.I. Joe because they were too much like Star Wars, according to my mom.)
2) Rowdy Roddy Piper was in John Carpenter’s They Live. Why it’s relevant to me? Just watch this clip and tell me it’s not relevant to you.
1) Hulk Hogan was a Real American. Why it’s relevant to me? Um, Hulk Hogan plays on an electric guitar painted like the American flag standing in front of an American flag like he’s motherfucking General Patton just before a scene of a building being demolished. That’s just the first 30 seconds! And it only gets better, I promise you…
The other day, as I was walking into the office, I realized something. Although I had parked in a far spot and the quickest route to the building’s entrance would have been over the grass, I followed the concrete walk.
But am I not a trailblazer? Am I not a man of my own convictions? I thought about this for a bit once I got to my desk, and I chalked it up to being “green” and worrying about “the environment.”
Then later, as I was logging into Twitter to do some Tweeting, I thought about how popular the micro-blogging site seems to be getting since I joined in the fun, and it lead me to wonder… did I sign up before I started hearing about it everywhere, or did I sign up because I started hearing about it everywhere?

Then later still, I found myself taking a survey… and as I awaited the results, I hoped I was in the majority. I longed for getting mixed in with the masses. (Sure, it was a survey about Chris Brown and Rihanna, so of course I would pray that the majority was thinking like me.) But I always thought of myself as a guy that lived outside the box, not in it (unless perhaps I am the box… doubt it).
So who else out there thinks this commercial is funny enough to make it their voice mail?
