Tweety thinks he's playing mind games, but he really just hates that bird.

the characters on this show are their descendents!

Sounds like this duck's not going to be having any descendants.

What?! NO THEY'RE NOT!!! THEY CAN'T BE!!!

I just checked wikipedia. It's the premise of the show.

If it were, it'd be at least somewhat amusing.

What are you, ten? NO.

There is only Satan, and no one to save you from his latest fart-humping masterpiece.

I got more of a "Judge Dredd: The Animated Series" vibe from him, personally.

Yeah, good job no-one's lame enough to write a similarly verbose and pretentious description of that.

Right you are Harveyjames! Oh by the way you wrote this:

"I love this kind of thing, BUT, part of me thinks this:

On the one hand it's great that 14-year-olds have created this unique and truly postmodern DIY culture. I genuinely think things like this and Youtube Poop represent an exciting movement in culture, one that doesn't even know it's a movement (so, the best kind).

On the other hand, they're reappropriating these corporate mascots without truly subverting their meaning or value, so stuff like this, and all the other Youtube Poop is still functional as a piece of advertising for the brands the characters represent. It's counter-culture that isn't counter-cultural.

In fact, since we're putting these iconic characters into scenarios based on our own values, tastes and sense of humour, the internet's mimetic adoption of Ran Ran Ru, Mario, Robotnik et al is actually more effective at strengthening our relationship with their respective brands than an actual advert would be. It's like my demographic is making its own advertising specifically targeted to itself, without knowing it.

I wonder if McDonalds and Nintendo are pleased about this sort of thing. They probably are!"
