I reckon Living In Hope, The Rutles’ riff on Ringo Starr’s songs, is better than Ringo Starr’s songs

Why should it be assumed that your preferred course of action is the one a “decent fucking person” would take? The attitudes that coloured the hosts’ decision making here are likely shared by a sizeable chunk of the podcast’s listeners, why should the writer have passed up the opportunity to reach them as well?

Thank you!

I’m a 90s kid and Channel 4 would air The Banana Splits just before the Big Breakfast, pretty sure they’re on the pop culture radar of a decent chunk of British millennials as a result. They are infinitely better known than HR Pufnstuf in the UK, that’s for sure.

I can think of at least one time they encountered a human within the show, when their rivals the Sour Grapes Gang sent some creepy little dancer girl to deliver a message.

“Meeting a Scottish shepherd on Twitter and spending a vacation helping out by spreading hay and something called “sheep cake”?” English shepherd. He said the farm is in England. Pay attention.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy did a horror take on Pinnochio that was a million times more sinister that this rubbish.

The “one scene” requirement technically rules out Homer Glumpet though, and I’m not having that.

Guy Incognito gets my vote. Although I’m also partial to Homer Glumpet too.

SIMPSONS PEDANTRY: He appears again as an attendee at Krusty’s (fake) funeral in “Bart the Fink”. It’s a non-speaking appearance though, so I don’t know if it counts.

No, the point is that, in-show, the character had initially appealed to his atheism to bolster his sense of nihilism

Oklahoma! It’s Amohalko spelled backwords! This is their kingdom!

*SPOILER ALERT*

So what? She might not be in the first flush of youth but she looks fine. Not that there’s much justification for causual lookism parading as alarm in any case.

Is this a bit of whataboutery or are you just reminiscing?

“This David Hogg pussy is getting a little too big for his britches” - I’ve mockingly used the phrase “too big for [their] britches” when discussing the pathetic tenor of thebacklash against the Parkland youths, so reading it played straight there was my own little, personal reality-trumps-satire moment.

They actually did at least one edition of the Crystal Maze where the contestants were kids. I assume the tasks were toned down a bit, not that they resembled something constructed by Daedalus in the first place.

Possibly, but that’s quite a different argument from the one of was responding to. It posited that children’s television innately restricts the quality of a creator’s output

Having a personal bias that makes you point-blank decline a recommendation from a close friend does seem kind of odd, tbh.

Back when Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror fame was doing his show Screenwipe, he dedicated an episode to children’s programming and concluded that the notion that producing quality television for kids was somehow easier than doing the same for adults was a huge misconception.
