Sunrise (A Teletubbies Cartoon) by MEATCANYON!

Welcome to FYB’s Wednesday post showcasing SUNRISE ( A TELETUBBIE CARTOON) By Our Latest favorite Animator MeatCanyon! If anyone is thinking to themselves “Teletubbies are you fucking kidding me? Has FYB gone plum retarded on itself?” then you don’t know us very well at all.

MeatCanyon’s real name is Hunter August Hancock better know by his online user name MeatCanyon. Hancock is an American Youtuber, animator, voice actor, comedian, writer, and director who makes parody animations of popular characters (say Sponge Bob for instance). Some viewers of MeatCanyon’s animations  have been described them in just one single word “Horrifying”. A common on going gag in Hancock’s video’s is that something normal or mundane gets you killed or possible worse.

For those fortunate enough to have no fucking idea who or what the fucking Teletubbies were here’s the deal. Teletubbies was a British children’s television show created for the British Broadcasting Company (BBS). The show focused one 4 differently colored alien looking creatures (Twinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po) known as “Teletubbies”, named after the tv screens implanted in their bellies. The Show’s colorful psychedelic setting and fact that the Teletubbies communicated in gibberish was designed SPECIFICALLY to appeal to the attention spans of infants. The only audio on the show consisted of the Teletubbies gibberish, Clips of babies laughing, a Clip(s) of a Babbling Brook, birds chirping and other odd selections.

The show seemed to be one seriously surreal acid trip for infants/toddlers especially considering some aspects of the show. There wasn’t any educational value to the show I mean come the fuck on it was designed for fucking infants, so I don’t give a fuck who alleges there was an educational component. Also there were no guests, songs, or life lessons like the kind of fare that you’d find on Sesame Street. Again this is due to the fucking fact that INFANTS brain’s are virtually undeveloped seriously their less than even 1 year old.

Anyway the point is this why the original television show was the bizarre equivalent of a psychedelic tv acid trip for infants then MeatCanyon’s SUNRISE (A TELETUBBIES CARTOON) has the same premise only his version is the equivalent of a VERY FUCKED UP BAD ACID TRIP FOR ADULTS!

BBC Omnibus: Hunter S. Thompson

Welcome to Today’s Post featuring Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood (Also Known as Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision) is  the 1978 Documentary Film produced by BBC Omnibus and Directed By Nigel Finch. The Subject of the Program is American Writer/”Gonzo Journalist” Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman who was Thompson’s Illustrator, with Cameos by None Other than John Dean, Brian Doyle, Bill Murray, Ray Romano, & Plenty More.

                  

Brief Synopsis:

The Group Travel to Hollywood via Death Valley and Barstow from Las Vegas, scene of the Thompson and Steadman’s 1971 Collaboration Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. For a Majority of British Viewers, the Program would be Their First Introduction to Hunter S. Thompson, and Quickly brings Them up to Date on Thompson’s Rise to Fame and Infamy, the Creation of Gonzo journalism, and His Alter-Ego Raoul Duke.

Perhaps Finch thought that getting Thompson and Steadman Together in a Car would Conjure Up the Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas Vibe on Screen, but the Two make a Painfully Awkward Couple to Say the Least. At one Point the rather Reserved Steadman compares Himself to Thompson’s Pet Bird Edward. Thompson Antagonizes the Holy Hell out the Edward invoking Panic, and then Directly after the Intense Harassment Thompson then Holds the Traumatized Edward Close and Talks to Him. “I feel Absolutely taken Apart,” being Friends with the Writer, Steadman Says. “…He’s holding Me like that Bird and I’m trying to Bite My Way Out.”

Enjoy.

Thanks For Watching,
