Someone linked the episode on /co/ and I watched it because of all the fighting game/video game jokes. I spent a lot of time asking myself when I saw it "Is that Paul Robertson's work?" Then I saw it in the credits and was pretty amazed that he actually got work for Disney



The "Oh! My car." is pretty awesome, but my favorite single scene is when they're walking down the street and he just keeps finding weapons.

:| parents of america, the message from this video is clear:

your children must be taught: never accept ice cream from ice cream men. because that is where our nation's child molestors have congregated.

I love how bewildered Psy looks while the Americans are expressing their honest admiration for him.

Doctorow posts a video of Orson Welles ranting about the radio ads he's reading.  Followed by a Pinky and the Brain toon that reproduces it verbatim.

Two things:

1. Yes, this is a grown-ass man throwing a tantrum.  It is also completely justified.  If I went from Citizen Kane to commercials for frozen peas, I'd have a pretty big chip on my shoulder, too.  Absolutely everyone trying to correct Welles is his inferior, as writer, director, and actor.

2. That Pinky and the Brain is significantly funnier when you know that it is actually a straight-up historical re-enactment.

He carried it over to the Critic. Which actually ran with that Orson Welles gag several times. Apparently Maurice LaMarche used to just do the whole thing verbatim as a daily warmup.

Wasn't Maurice LaMarche the guy who also served as a legitimate stand-in for Welles' voice in a lot of other movies/TV shows? Like I think he did the voice-over for the Welles that appears in Ed Wood.

Fake Edit for fact check: Yep. He did.
