making this made me giggle a lot

...this is it. The biggest animation error I’ve ever seen.

Across making 3,976 SDM posts, I’ve never encountered a scene this ridiculous before, anywhere.

It starts out unassuming enough. The alien boy and his nonexistent pants share a touching moment with Optimus Prime.

“Every time you look through your telescope at the stars, you’ll know your friends are out there.”

Aw, isn’t that heartwarming. A well-executed moment.

Now, he just needs to set the Autobots in the ship, but… wait, where are they?

WHOA

Poof! Magically-conjuring Autobots!

And… their legs are… dipping into the alien boy’s hand? It’s all sort of–

Whoooaaa, legless Optimus! I guess he just phased through the side of the ship–

…

…

…wait, why did a giant blue ear just materialize through the wall?

The– GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

REALITY-BENDING NON-CORPOREAL ALIEN CAT FLOATING HEAD ABOMINATION

THIS IS IT

THIS IS FINALLY IT

AFTER FOUR YEARS OF LOVINGLY RIFFING ON ANIMATION

THIS IS THE FREAKIEST THING I HAVE *EVER* SEEN

Thank you, Transformers. You have given us all the gift of beautiful, unfathomable fear, and we are forever in your low-budget debt.

…this popped up in the SDM feed again and, masochistically, now I want to go back to the madness

Whenever I feel burned out, there’s always something new to reignite the “…wait, what the heck?” fire.

“i will rend you limb from limb”

this showed up in the SDM activity feed and did me a spook

kinda makes you wonder when scrappy will turn up on the blog again

only time will tell

Yup… this is 2020 summed up in two frames.

Through the sands of time, Shaggy knows what’s up.

*watching episode for SDM*

*they investigate a library*

Me: “Wait… are they going to…?”

Me: “…they’re totally going to.”

Dean: “Check out that book.”

Me: “YES THEY’RE ACTUALLY DOING IT”

Fred: “There are a *lot* of books in here, Dean!”

Me: “Cartoon logic still applies! That’s magnificent!”

Dean: “No, *that* one. The one that isn’t painted into the background.”

Me: “Ahh… well, as fun as that is, it’s too bad real Scooby-Doo is riffing the things *I* normally find–”

*show cuts to wide shot*

Me: “…wait…”

Me: “…did they truly get the thickness of the book wrong, or are they changing it just to mess with me?!”

i don’t know what to trust anymore

scooby-doo is becoming scoobydoomistakes

throwback to when the show did my work for me

consarn these dang self-aware television programmes
