The classic Marvel super hero cartoons are getting new life (so to speak) thanks to director Ivan Miguel Guerrero, who has seamlessly zombified the opening credits of Fantastic Four (1967) and The Marvel Super Heroes (1966). “I am a big fan of the Marvel Zombies books and the covers done by artist Arthur Suydam. In creating this fan art/trailer, I wanted to capture the same irreverent-retro concept used for the
Last weekend, Fox Network got hit by Hurricane Flozell, a storm so big that its effects were felt by all three of Seth MacFarlane’s series (Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show). In “Seahorse Seashell Party” the Griffins get trapped inside… with no power! Fresh out of Star Wars stories to tell, the family fights among themselves but Brian decides to ride out the storm with some magic mushrooms.
Last season, Ned Flanders and Edna Krabappel took a summer break after he learned about her promiscuous past. The fate of Nedna was left up to a higher power – the fans. The Simpsons season opener “The Falcon and the D’ohman” revealed the couple is still together. In fact, they’re sleeping together… in the same bed! This raises even more questions like are they married now or is Ned a
MTV is bringing back the original Jackasses: Beavis and Butt-Head. What’s next, actual Music Videos on Music Video Television!? Until then these misanthropes will be targeting MTV shows like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom. At Comic-Con, Creator Mike Judge joked, “I felt like TV was getting too smart.” In the first episode “Holy Cornholio” Beavis gets mistaken for the Messiah after Butt-Head drills holes into his hands. That’s the great
In the series Highlander, immortal beings decapitate each other to gain power known as the Quickening. The anime Manyuu Hikenchou has it’s own version of the Quickening but they cut off an entirely different body part – breasts! It’s a fate worse than death because women who are flat-chested are considered less than human. The Manyuu clan has passed down this involuntary plastic surgery technique called chichi giri (breast slice)
Futurama experiences “Reincarnation” in the season finale with 3 unique animation styles: a black-and-white Fleischer style, a low-res video game style, and an anime action style. Creator David X. Cohen says it’s one his favorite episodes of the season. “Our supervising director, Peter Avanznio, did an amazing job of redesigning our whole world in three distinctive styles for just one episode. We even used jazz for the black-and-white section, licensed
There are entire websites devoted to gender bender fan fiction and artwork (so I hear) but fans no longer have to imagine after last night’s Futurama episode, “Neutopia.” The men of Planet Express bankrupt the company so it’s only fair that they raise money by forcing the girls to do a calendar. Just one problem: actual girls. Even after Hermes tricks his wife into participating they only have three girls.
After 2 years, Paul “Otaking” Johnson finally finished his (fake) Doctor Who Anime trailer, only to take it down from Youtube a few days later (presumably due to complaints from the BBC). Fortunately it quickly went viral so if you missed it, you won’t need a time machine to see it. Below are three alternate websites: Metatube (top) high quality and no ads, Dailymotion (middle) is high quality but has
Forget Bennifer, the The Simpsons has its own celebrity couple – Nedna. In the season finale, The Ned-Liest Catch, Edna literally falls for Ned during a jailbreak from teacher detention for hitting Bart. Except for their tumultuous relationship with the Simpsons, Ned and Edna don’t seem to have much in common, especially when it comes to views on premarital sex. Their future together becomes uncertain when Ned discovers Edna has
Aqua Teen Hunger Force may have a new name (and theme) but it’s still the same old nonsensical hijinks. The new theme belies the nature of the show just like the old theme did. Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad aren’t really detectives. In the first episode, Shake gets sidetrack from finding a missing cat and accuses a very large, very black demolition worker of insurance fraud and not really being black.
Drifters of the Dead is an alternate retelling of Highschool of the Dead Volume 4 Act 16 “The Girl Next Dead” in which Takashi and Saeko find momentary respite from the hoards of undead on a small island. This time though the whole class hits the beach. There they find a seaside shack stocked with swimsuits. Unfortunately, only thongs are available so Kohta opts for a female school swimsuit (so
With a Safety Inspector like Homer Simpson, it’s no wonder that Springfield Nuclear Power Plant has so many safety violations. And in light the tragedy in Japan, TV networks from around the world are screening Simpsons episodes for any objectionable content. The Austrian network ORF has already pulled Episode 66, “Marge Gets a Job” in which scientists Marie Curie and Pierre Curie die of radiation poisoning and Episode 346, “On
Virtual girlfriend/life coach Hinako is back with loads of fanservice in Bathtime with Hinako & Hiyoko. Hinako does various stretches in the tub but even after she reluctantly lets the camera see-through the side of the tub in order to reveal the proper form, it’s still pretty dull. That’s probably why they’ve introduced a new character, Hiyoko. Despite her age it’s clear that Hiyoko’s the one in charge. Regardless of
Realizing his own mortality, Lex Luthor decides it’s time to get serious about killing Superman. Ironically, he uses the very source of Superman’s powers to do it, exposing him to an overdose of solar radiation. Now literally exploding with power, Superman faces some us his greatest challenges yet as he tries to get his final affairs in order. Due to time constraints, the movie adaptation understandably cuts out most of
Entertainment Weekly’s Keith Staskiewicz gave Bob’s Burgers an “A-” noting “To see a comedy this well done is very rare indeed.” But his review is as rotten as the fart jokes that pass for humor on the show. Anyone who tells you different has been paid off. It’s quite possibly the worst cartoon I’ve ever seen (or heard). Bob Belcher (H Jon Benjamin) runs a Burger joint between a funeral
