Childcare For Idiots, Thursday - 5/19

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Now first we're gonna clear up a few things," Deadpool informed the class when they arrived. "Today is Thursday, not Saturday. As yesterday was Wednesday, not Friday. And if anyone uses autotune in my presence, I will have to murder you. Got it? Good!"

Ah, the start of a new day with Deadpool.

"Today we're gonna discuss how you need to supervise a kid at all times because sharp things always seem way nicer to run with and or put in your mouth when you're a three year old," he informed the class cheerfully. "Little known fact: grenades and a Dora the Explorer DVD gone missing equal the same amount of destructive force in a house. The more you know and all that crap."

Unfortunately, Jan wasn't listening to a damn thing concerning the lecture. She was, however, singing. Loudly. "Fri~day, Fri~day!"

Because it was an awesome song when you still thought My Little Pony was an amazing cinematic achievement. Without being stoned.

Deadpool ignored the singing, steaming on through that lecture. "Break off into groups of two and figure out what you have just laying around that's bad for kids. YouTube counts."

It is! They'll go wandering around singing "tralala" and then have deep conversations about what constitutes a proportionate response when they're attacked by evil witches who want to turn them all purple!

I'm not even kidding. I rented the old 80s cartoon on DVD a few years ago for research purposes. . . .

Oh, yeah! And that's just the 80s one! The newer one is freaking epic. It's really no wonder that there's a huge following for it that includes no small number of grown men. The creator of the series actually made a point to make certain that it wasn't about dressing up pretty and all of those stereotypical 'girly' things.

Ponies with plot. I started watching because I want to someday be an animator for a living. I kept watching because it didn't completely suck, weird character designs aside.

Yeah? I haven't seen anything more than YouTube videos to random dialog/sounds and went "whaaaaaat is this ponies what?" but perhaps I'll have to check it out!

At least check out the first few episodes! I plugged them in mostly for background noise while I was working on some life drawing homework, and soon found that I was doing more pony-watching than foot-drawing.

They suck you in! With their pony-ness.

It's their magical pony power, I'm sure!

Probably wouldn't be that hard. I was hardcore into Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Powerpuff Girls, and Pepper-Ann in my day.
