I think people sometimes forget that the Crazy Frog was literally a TV ad spot for a novelty ringtone. Which is such an unbelievably specific bygone era that its easier to imagine it as some kind of internet meme animation.

And then it was so wildly popular that the creators overlaid some of the sound effects onto bestselling 1984 movie soundtrack song "Axel F" and it was SO popular that people just imagine the song was written for the ringtone ad frog. From when you paid for ringtones. On TV.

Wait, it WASNT meme animation?? I thought it was just like that gummy bear song 😭

So I have some news for you about the gummy bear song...

i love when you’re talking to someone who’s not from florida and you just casually mention a thing that only happens in Florida and it ruins their whole day

omw to go sit in your pool

this is why kennedy space center had to install fancy outward-curving fences around the launchpad, bc gators climbing over regular fences and getting on the launchpad could be very dangerous

I’d like to think that the “STOP 🛑” sign is also for the gators.

The gators don’t abide by our petty laws. They are…instigators.

turns out they climb trees too. Like regularly. they tend to do it a lot less once they reach certain sizes, but like several crocodilian species turn out to have a whole development period where they spend a lot of time in trees, and we just never knew that until like 2014 because, understandably, nobody who was studying them thought “i wonder if I should look for a bunch of crocodiles up in the trees”

The Best Blowjob in Hell tournament will have the fiercest competition in history this year

-and Nancy Reagan seems set to win the title of Tornado Blowjob Queen of Hell for the 6th year straight a— wait, what’s this! It’s, it’s, BY GOD, IT’S QUEEN ELIZABETH WITH A STEEL DENTURE!

I need people to stop blaming the death of movies on “quips”. A quip is just a funny line of dialogue. That’s all. Like I just saw a post talking about quips and the death of movies and brought up Pirates of the Caribbean as an example of a better movie and yes it is but also that movie is FULL OF QUIPS. I just rewatched The Princess Bride. It’s all quips. Every single line. And it’s a masterpiece.

Movies suck when people don’t care about the art they’re making. That includes them not caring about their quips. Which is why a lot of comic relief dialogue ALSO sucks now. But the problem isn’t that funny dialogue exists.

my "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AIRBUS" t-shirt is drawing unwanted attention at the freedom tower

Walt fuckin Gisney was the ultimate unsubtle satirical caricature of a capitalist, going so far as to pull legal bullshit so his own company had to pay him for using his name, and he STILL understood the value of animation and art in general better than any media CEO today

his version of Tomorrowland also seemed to really love public transportation
