Kids shows and innuendo

[ArenaBoy]

Basically, there's a lot and I mean a lot of sexual innuendo in this vid. It's an old kids show. Enjoy.

It's not a real episode. Well it sort of is... it's the genuine crew, actors, set etc. mucking around for the BBC Christmas party tape.

Whoa.....never saw so much innuendo on what's supposed to be a kiddie show, but then again H R Pufnstuf was a show that looked like something you could watch while you're stoned out of your mind.

heck watch any old WB, Universal, Terrytoon, etc. cartoon from the 40's or 50's and see how much innuendo there is from Buggs/Elmer/Sam cross dressing to wolf whistling to very Barbie like (tall slender and a chest that would make Dolly Parton envious) females in some very very very skimpy short short and reveling outfits (sometime I could not tell if they were ACTAULLY wearing clothes) remember the little red riding hood series of cartoons. I swear in some of those you could actaually see red's nipples and underware and the cleavage was just fine thank you

There was one cartoon by Tex Avery while he was at Universal that actually (high maybe) that showed a brief scene of a nude woman in a picture on the wall. the screen wnet black and when the lights came back on the picture was blank.

then there was one cartoon again by Tex Avery with a refrigerator that said as the brand name "cold as NELL" you figure it out what is was supposed be.

so many things they did got past the censors of the day it was funny. after I was a teenager I started to realize how much double entrdre (sp) and blantant sexuallity cross dressing gender bending there was in those old cartoons. Uncle Milty had nothing on Warner Bro's cartoons

the problem was the serious mischaracterization of women and the suggestion (in a very veiled manner) of a rape type stiuation

sorry about the double post

most any live action show ie HR Puffinstuff, The Bugaboos, the Banana Splits The Monkeys and most of the Sat. morning cartoons (Hanna Barberra ruled the day besides the Buggs Bunny/Road Runner 2 hour marathon) made in the mid to late 60's WERE for kids but mostly for older people getting up and getting stoned AND watching Sat morning cartoons/shows and laughing their asses off while mind altered.

It's been around a while, I first saw it before going to Ireland in early 2005.

"I can't get it in Jeffrey!"

"one skin, two skin, three skin, four-skin..."

What edible_hat said.
It's the correct crew, but this was an internal joke, not for distribution.

The Sid and Marty Croft stuff (Bugaloos, HR Puffinstuff, Lidsville, etc) are so trippy it's very hard to believe old Sid and Marty weren't...well...tripping. They swear they weren't (I've seen about a million interviews). I'll leave you to make your own decision about that.

The husband and I are huge Croft fans. We collect that stuff. In fact, we collected it all before we even had a kid.

when I got a little older in the 70's I always wondered if most of the writer/producers/directors were STONED (pick your fav chemical mind altering substance) outta their minds when they made/wrote some/most of this stuff.

I mean a big headed talking dragon shapped like a mushroom and most of the "puppets"/bodysuit type of characters looking like something out of a bad acid/mushroom trip or a vision quest gone horribly wrong

My all time favorite would probably have to be Land of the Lost, which was live actio-no costumes, at least for all it's main characters. They had real big name sci-fi writers writing that, and it really was quite good.

The two male leads were pretty hammy actors, being soap actors, but still, if you could get past that and the cheesy 70's special effects, it was a good show.

And I watched The Bugaloos when I was in first or second grade. I SO wanted to be Joy!

yup Land of the Lost was good for the first season or two until the father got timewarped back and his brother (or maybe uncle or something like that) and got sucked in then it started to suck and get old.

I did like the premise of the show and yeah the special effects were bad (think of Dr. who during this period and the bad s"soecial effect" put into that show) but the overall story line/arc (past and future) of the lizard creatures was interesting. all of the crystals and panel things they had to contend with and the past lizard guy (the intelligent one) dilemia with dealing with his future (dumb lizard people)


ETA just out of curiosity I googled land of the lost and found they are making it into a major motion picture staring Will Ferrell. it is due out in 2009. filiming is slated to start now in March 2008. maybe out of my love for that time periods Sat morning stuff I might be persuaded to spend money and go see it

wow they did have some heavy weight sci-fi writers god types like larry niven dc fontana AND Walter Koenig from star trek (great episode too)

Here, I actually wrote a product review for www.epinions.com for the boxed DVD of this show, if you are interested.

Many people don't realize that the old Warner Brothers & Disney cartoons were originally made for adults. These cartoons would play in the movie theaters before the start of a film. I remember watching some of the old cartoons on TV as a kid, and in addition to sexual innuendo, there was heavy drinking/intoxication, smoking, etc.; you don't see those on TV anymore, but you can probably find them somewhere. Back in WWII Disney even made a propaganda film starring Donald Duck kicking Nazi butt!

Hell, you guys probably haven't even seen the worst of them; the ones that have been banned to the studio archives because of their not-so-flattering portrayals of Jews, Blacks, etc...

At some point American animation was deemed "kiddie fare" and ever since then most American animation reflects that (although attitudes are starting the shift). Japan is still the front runner for adult animation. Heck, even their kiddie cartoons are racier than anything you'll see in North America. Case in point: now that I live in Japan I've had the opportunity to see some unedited episodes of Dragonball Z, and there is stuff in there that would never fly in the U.S. (think full frontal male nudity).

OJHHHHH I have seem them. I am old enough to remember they used to play them back in the 60's on Sat morning cartoons (UNcut and UNcensored unlike today they have cut those up soooo much as to mke them very UNfunny) AND they got put on in the afternoon after school here in the US. some (heck most of the old stuff) of the Universal/WB/Terrytoons were VERY racist/sexist/derogitory/size (as in fat) intollerant and VERY VERY violent (not that it lead to mass murder or becoming a serial killer)

give me that ol' time cartoon or at the very least a good Slappy Squirell toon
