Betty Boop

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I was just watching this great DVD I bought at the dollar-store today. It was a collection of Betty Boop cartoons! Just wondering if anyone else here appreciates this classic character.

My favorite episode is when Boop is Racing against that clown thing and the dog and the clown's car breaks down and he runs to the finish line.

(Im still wondering if this is another one of those Crazy Tetsu Threads)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

That one was on this disc. Yeah it was great! My favourite in this collection was the one where she owned a pet-store and let a bald kid watch it for her while she ran errands.

And, if this was one of my "crazy" threads, it would be something like "Who'd win a quilting-bee between Betty Boop and the Joker?".

Cartoons from way back when are pretty surrel/weird.

My favorite Betty Boop cartoon is the one they used in Twilight Zone the Movie. It's where that dog-guy is trapped in some crazy funhouse with all these hooded cultists following him around, chanting "Do ya wanna join!? Do ya wanna join!?". All the while there are these deadly traps he's narrowly escaping. In the end he finally gives up and agrees to join. Of course the cultists all turn out to be Betty Boop.

Freaken weird.

I know. Aren't they great!:D

You can say that again. I saw this one Felix the Cat cartoon from many years ago that just had him running around on the moon, and being chased by blobs. Back then they really knew how to make good cartoons.

Back then they didn't even need Plot! Just put a Talking Animal in a Random Place and Situation and you're golden.

Speaking of Felix the Cat, does anyone remember the Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat? Now THAT was some messed up sh**.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Yeah, that was pretty cool use of a classic character. Kinda wish Betty would get a new show. :(

That crazy sh*t on CBS? Yeah, I remember that. That whackbag junk was crazier than most sh*t I've seen since. It's like the writer was on herroin. If I remember correctly, CBS canned their whole line-up afterwards. No wonder. :roll:

[That Matt Guy]

I remember it too. I liked it.
