Cab Calloway rotascoped!
Whoever thought of this was drinking absinthe
Thanks, Now I have nightmares
this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40
betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die
most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels
fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic
idk why this is making me so emotional???
I love this. I’ve always had a love for cartoons
Cab Calloway, he was a legend performer and entertainer, although he’s listed as a jazz singer he did much more with his voice, his singing style and delivery was very unique. Cab (with his band) was the first black artist to sell over a million copies of a single record and he paved the way for many artists to come. Happy Black History Month.

So i’m just watching youtube, trying to chill out and whenever, when I get a Lego Movie 2 Ad for a video I was watching
do you see that timestamp at the bottom? Yeah, this is apparently 5 hours long.
And at first I was wondering, well is it the entire movie? No…this entire ad is for their newest “everything is awesome” type song. It is called “this song is gonna get stuck inside your head” and I am pretty goddamn sure it is going to repeat that one line over and over until my brain melts
So I am going to see if they really are playing it for 5 hours
10 minutes in. No breaks from looping yet
about half an hour in. I have been staring at what appears to be the child of Jack Frost and Edward Cullen wondering just how is he able to move in the cold if his body is dead
It is only 40 minutes in, and I can’t tell if I am immune to the music, or if my brain has stuck it as background noise
made it one hour and I swear I can hear them say the same line in two different ways
1) This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
2) This song’s going get stuck inside Joe
hour and 15 minutes
I have now found that even if I mute it I can still hear the song on point to the video
I have made a mistake. I paused the music for like one second. So the music that I hear now is clashing with the pace of the music I heard before
“THIS SONG’S BURN AGAIN STUCK INSIDE JOE”
almost 2 hours of watching a lego blob’s deep shoulder action. how does she do it? I will never know
I keep forgetting that I clicked on a different video to begin with. Like every minute I remember that this was an ad, then I just forget again
Is it possible for your ears to feel numb?
I can’t think anymore it took me 10 minutes to figure out that this was the half way point of 5 hours
it’s true. Hell is a skrillex concert with no bass drop
I’m losing track over what thread to use. I need to talk out loud to write or I would be writing the song
I can time my blinks so every time I open my eyes I see the same scene over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
i need to FEED
this is how the CIA tortures people i hope you know this
Everything I know is a goddamn lie. This movie this hellsite everything why do I even exist
I am almost done with this nightmare. God I am so afriad I can’t remember what silence sounds like
I am going to find the man that greenlit this piece of shit and shove legos down their throat
I hate this movie so much
IM SO FUCKIN CLOSE I,M SO FUCKING CLOSE
IT HAS A FUCKING END CARD
MY FUCKING GOD
…….i need a nap I need to just be absorbed into the void and hope that I can succumb to the darkness and not dream of legos
OP did not put themself through this for 342 notes

Baby armadillo.
Humans will pet anything.
How wonderful, then, to live on a planet full of creatures that like to be petted!

Friday February 8, 2019. 23:45. The gentlemen of Horse News were relaxing in the /mlp/ party suite at HarmonyCon. I had just given the fifteen minute warning that the party would be over at midnight and I would be going to sleep. We were watching Sunoharasou no Kanrinin-san, better known as “Hey Kid Wanna /SS/: The Animated Series.”

Why am I incriminating myself like this, especially about something that has nothing to do with horses? To demonstrate our fear while we stood in a freezing parking lot at SWATCon.
Let’s start over.
Friday February 8, 2019. 23:45. As the gentlemen of Horse News were finishing their Bible study, the fire alarm started going on. This was not out of the ordinary, as we have all experienced wacky con pranks like someone pulling the fire alarm. I poured myself a beer and ushered everyone from the room. As we entered the atrium, someone resembling a police officer directing everyone to “exit faster.” This was questionable but not particularly suspicious to half a dozen people in variable states of intoxication.
It wasn’t until we actually left the building that the gravity of the situation set in. There was at least 7 cop cars that had surrounded the hotel enterence, and a dozen police officers in different levels of tatical gear. I have yet to encounter a fire alarm that required AR-15s to turn off. This was when our intrepid reporter ShellShock turned on his twitter livestream.

We huddled in the parking lot of an art store across from the hotel for almost an hour while we watched the police respond and Chelis T-Pose at cars. Despite the cold, we did our best to keep morale high between color commentary on the stream and a parking lot rave.
While anons attempted to argue that they had heard gunshots, we were unable to find anyone willing to go on the record saying they had heard gunshots or seen anyone with a gun.
At 0100 we were herded into the Courtyard Marriott that’s adjacent to the Crowne Plaza where we sheltered in their lobby, conference rooms, and rooms until 0215 when we were let back into the hotel.
As it stands, we have received an official statement from HarmonyCon about the situation. Addison PD has not offered up information aside from what’s been available on social media.
We would like to thank PurpleTinker for generously pay for food and shelter for con refugees, and the various anons that shitposted their hearts out to keep morale high.
You’re good people.

the only three truly iconic scenes that matter in superhero cinema history:
1. the no man’s land scene in wonder woman
2. the leap of faith scene in into the spiderverse
3. the bridge fight scene in thor ragnarok
4. the part where T'challa walks out of that flaming wreckage and calls out “N'JADAKA!” and Erik replies “wassup?”
5. When Erik walks into the throne room and says “Hey Auntie”
