I’m headed for the Disney D23 Expo next week, so I’ve got a bit of Disney on the brain. Plus my trip there will be followed by shows in LA and Las Vegas, so it oughta be a hell of at trip. 🙂
One of my favorite Disney things over the last couple years has been non-Disney Disney art. Either fan generated or by licensed Disney artists. Why? Because it isn’t as precious with the characters as the company needs to be.
Like this Snow White/Haunted Mansion mashup. The Disney company boys can’t abuse the characters like this, but it’s fair game for everyone else.
Any and all of the major characters has had the piss taken out of them by some enterprising young (delinquent) artist. I’ve done so verbally with my bit “Gangsta Pooh” from my DVD “Be Yourself…Unless You’re An Idiot”. So I thought it’d be fun to go hunt up some art to go with it.
Here’s a classic that’s been around since, I think, the MySpace days. Back when the whole site looked like the signs near a freeway offramp. I had no idea the 100 Acre Wood was near Cincinnati.Not entirely sure what’s going on in this one. He’s got window blind shades on and, I assume, the black bar is to blank out where his soft and fuzzy manhood would be. As well as the most awkward pistol grip I’ve ever seen.Another net classic. This time with Pooh in the more traditional 1930’s gangster (with an ‘er’) role. He really needs to control that serious muffin top he’s got going.When a Pooh gets caught with his hand in the hunny jar, sometimes he’s gonna get whacked. This was the beginning of the 100 Acre Turf War.No, really. This guy goes by MC Pooh. I assume there’s a guest spot by DJ Fecal Matter.Ok, what the hell is going on here? Pooh with a porno moustache and Tigger blinged out and and giving him a back rub. Or butt rub from the looks of it. So so much wrong with this picture.Whew! Had to give Pooh back his manly mojo after that last picture. Here, Pooh’s bitches take Johns back to hotel rooms and proceed to knock them out and steal the tiny packets of honey that are sometimes next to the coffee maker in hotels.During the 1980’s, the 100 Acre Wood stories were less popular than in previous years. To supplement his income, Pooh became a Colombian drug lord. Piglet became and unwilling mule. Tigger, his sole customer.Until now, I’ve never considered getting a tattoo. There may never be anything cooler than this picture. Just stop looking at the internet now.
I’ve talked in the past about the new depths that Hollywood is sinking to on the creative front. And you may think the title of this post is a joke. Unfortunately, it’s not. “The Exorcist” recently finished a run at the Geffen Theater in Los Angeles and is probably headed for the Great White Way….
Here’s last night’s Episode 3 (Revenge of the Phil) of Phil’s Fast 15. This episode includes the songs “Share My Pixie Dust”, “LCW”, and “Way Down Yonder In New Orleans”. Better lighting than last week since I remembered to turn the lights on. 🙂 The video is less jerky, but still fuzzy. Getting it worked…
I just saw this great article on WSJ about Joe Wong and his difficulty carrying his American-style, though Chinese inflected comedy over to China. First off, I’ll say that I’ve never heard of Joe Wong before and I wasn’t exactly blown away by the clips I saw of him. Apparently he got an appearance on…
There’s a disturbing trend that I’ve seen in comedy over the last few years. Pop culture references have always been part of the game, but in the past it’s usually with some twist or original thought or punchline. But lately I’ve seen things that people seem to think are funny simply because they make a…
Disney dorks are legion. At the theme parks they often blend in the with the rest of the Mickey-clad crowd. Until you spend some time talking to them in a line and discover that they go to the park 20 times per year. If you’re friends with a Disney dork, chances are you know it…
There are a lot of printed materials that the internet has put an end to. Many of them I will miss when they’re gone, like books, magazines, or bar posters featuring beer girls. But I won’t be sad to see the greeting card industry take a dive. A greeting card is nothing but a piece…
