50 Shades of doing the Buffalo Bill Mangina Dance!


Apparently while making playlists on Spotify, I came across this playlist:
"This collection features a selection of classical music referenced in E.L James' best selling Fifty Shades of Grey book, along with other music inspired by the trilogy."




Now I know what to play when I bust out my butt-clamps and do the Buffalo Bill Mangina dance! 


would you fuck me? I'd fuck me!

Y: The Last Man Rising [Fan Film]

A fan film made from one of my all time favorite comic series, "Y The Last Man". This needs to be made into a TV series not a movie.

Muppet Babies: My theory behind the story.

I was reading this article from Cracked:

Why 'Saved by the Bell' is All a Dream: A Conspiracy Theory

When I felt the urge to write about my theory behind one of my favorite Saturday Morning cartoons, "The Muppet Babies"



Muppet Babies: 


   The Muppet babies,  if you were not privileged to watch this as a kid, was about the Muppets ( If you don't know who  the Muppets are, then you are not my friend. Seriously) as kids/toddlers growing up in a nursery together. The series stars Kermit the Frog, miss Piggy, Fozzie the bear, Animal, Scooter, Skeeter, Rowlf the Dog, and Gonzo, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and beaker made regular appearances as well. They all were looked after by a character that just went by the name, "Nanny". All the Muppet babies would go on adventures in the giant nursery with  just their imaginations and used whatever toys as props to further fuel the adventures that they would have.

My Theory:

   I believe that the whole world of The Muppet Babies is the product of a neglected child's imagination, and the child is no other than Nanny herself.  It is Nanny that is stuck in a huge nursery with all of her Muppet stuffed toys. Being alone all the time she craves the companionship and the love from others that she imagines the Muppets, her toys as other children in the nursery. She imagines herself as the Nanny of these babies and cares for them in the way that she wants to be cared for.  


   In the Theme song it says, 

"When the world looks kind of weird and you wish you weren't there. Just close your eyes and make believe  and you can be anywhere"

   I believe that Nanny, being so young she doesn't quite understand the world she lives in. All alone in the nursery she is left with child like wonder and she plays out scenarios with the use of her Muppet toys to figure out life lessons. Sometimes the world that she created and the adventures she plays out gets too much for a child to understand that she interjects herself within the imagination as an adult figure, "Nanny" and gives the voice of reason to her Muppet Babies adventures. It's all very inception like. 

*insert Inception sound effect here*


"I imagined you imagining me!"
   

   In the picture above, this is the only view of Nanny that we see. Within the imagination and adventures whenever there is any other adults in them they are always viewed the same way, from the waist down and never showing the faces. I believe its because this is how toddlers view adults. They live in a world that is run by giants and mostly always see just the waist down of adults at eye level. This gives the presence of authority to children where they always have to look up to adults.

   In the picture, we see the attire of Nanny that is a purple shirt, a pink skirt, green and white striped stockings and purple shoes. This is something a child would choose to wear. When she imagines herself talking to her toys, she pictures herself as tall as an adult but still wearing an outfit of a child.  


   There you have it!

   That's my take on the Muppet Babies. I'd like to think that each character of the Muppets represent different parts of Nanny's personality traits. In an alternative theory, I also like to think that Nanny is a mentally ill child that is unable to speak and stuck in a Mental Institution. The doctors there would use the Muppet toys as a way to help communicate with her. Asking her to  pretend to be the role of Nanny to the toys. What we see every episode is a breakthrough from her troubled psyche and sometimes Star Wars!



I have another theory behind another cartoon, "The Snorks"

I'll probably write about it tomorrow if it's dead at work.
