Southern Fried Rabbit

Another Bugs Bunny cartoon that is [sorta] racist. In my opinion the supposed "racist scene" isn't all that bad. Especially compared to every cartoon from the 1940s.

Some of my favorite gags within the cartoon are that with the bomb and the southern bell. The bomb is very "saw it coming" as Yosemite Sam, the villain in this cartoon, runs to avoid bugs from blowing out the bomb. In turn Yosemite runs to far and ends up not making it back to where he wishes to toss said bomb and blows himself up.

"He's not in here. He's not in here."

The southern bell gag was just hilarious, in my honest opinion. A great excuse to get Bugs cross dressing, which is never not funny, and to have Yosemite go gay for him, also always funny.

Perfect Balance (Two 4 1)

One of those "easy to play difficult to master" games, I give you Perfect Balance (2). Yes, there is a first one and a second one. There may be a third but I did not bother to check.

Each game is very simple to play and only requires your mouse to do so. The premise is very simple, as well. Generally, these games are puzzle games and require you to do as the game title says. You need to reach each pieces prefect balance without causing them to tumble down into the abyss below.

You will slowly learn tricks to doing this and each puzzle can be solved several ways, which is part of the fun. Some may seem easy to people because of a certain way people view things. I, for one, found several to be very difficult but at the same time there were many that just seemed silly to be so high a level and point value.

Controls

• Mouse - Used to drag and drop pieces
• A - Used to rotate pieces clockwise(?)
• D - Used to rotate pieces counter-clockwise
• R - Used to rest/retry

Legend of Neil (Suggested)

Little, okay a lot, late on having this suggested to me. It was offered up by Lur after posting how antisocial Link was. That post shows how Link, from the Zelda games, is a total prick and hates people. This vid shows what happens when a real life prick who hates people takes over the shoes of the little fairy folk.

Ledgend of Neil Ep 1

Watch Here, Also

The second season ended and the third is ready for action. They are looking for fan donations and purchase of the merchandise. Solve Unamusement doesn't promote spending money but helping them out if you've the cash would be nice for us all. Remember, more Neil means more amusements in the future.

Weird Al Time!

Well, sense I tossed Ray Stevens at you folks, it only makes sense to throw Weird Al at you too. It was Weird Al who, personally, got me into "humorous music" and now leads me all the way to artists like Steven Lynch and oldies like Frank Zappa.

Got questions who those people are or about those funny/humorous songs, then drop a comment here or on the suggestions and I'll bring them to Solve Unamusement with little need to question. They are all amusements, after all. Or you could find them for yourselves, no harm in that either.

They Call Him The Streak!

A little Ray Stevens for the uninitiated, playing on an original 45 record. It's a comical song with zero seriousness to it, but Ray Stevens isn't known best for that.

Ray Stevens - The Streak


First time I heard this was on the radio back when I was a kid, then my mother went and found me a CD which had a few of Ray Stevens' classics on it. Another of these was "Me Again Margret" which I will happily post for you, as well.

Possibly the original music video, but I am not sure.

InvaderZIM

"THE WORLD IS MINE!"

Invader Zim has to be one of the most awesome shows that ever showed on Cartoon Network. It was later banned after some hidden "bloody images" of Gir. That is not the topic for this, however. The topic for this post is that I could not find an embedded full version of the shows opening or at least none that were in English.

Several were linkable, and one such is available in the playlist I shall link near the bottom. There was a couple/few fan made ones but only one that I liked so just gave up and decided to embed that one, instead.

Brian's Guide

Brian's Guide is a silly little online fake guide to everything that is. Each panel is available to view and there are a lot of them. It's a very simple site but there's a lot to it, on the main scale.

Not much more to add besides stealing the comics and posting them directly to Solve Unamusement. As that's not cool behavior, this shall just be a very small post.

Jim Carrey Christmas

Doing this has been on my list for awhile, not a long while, and should be done now that Christmas is so close.

Yes, it's "Scrooge again" but this was done so well that it was worth the view. 3d is the only thing to get me, personally, back into theaters anyway. It's a nice, possible gimmick, but it's guiding people back to the theaters once again.

Jim Carrey in "A Christmas Carol" was so well done that I wasn't even fully aware that the story had been done before. The graphics and animation were great and you get exactly what you expect plus more.

Comedy in the movie is grand as well as the action and small bits of not forced romance. Everything fits well and the death sceen with spirit three had to be one of the best in the whole movie.

Teaser Trailer

Official Trailer

I will note that I honestly don't think the film is worth owning or even renting. It was a see in theaters only film and has honestly no replay value past your first viewing.

Neuroticfish Redoes It

"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" redone by a hard rock(is) band called "Neuroticfish". While like most bands, it eventually broke and the only thing that remains is it's music.

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! : Neuroticfish


Not much else to say on the subject but that they need a new name. Why do rock bands, especially metal bands, insist on such horrible names? I suppose that is a topic for another day but if you wish to answer this question now, I'd not be upset on the matter.

Napoleon XIV

An oldie but goodie, has to be some of the songs by Napoleon XIV.

Wiki Says:

Napoleon XIV was the pseudonym of American singer-songwriter and record producer Jerry Samuels (born 03 May 1938, New York), who achieved one-hit wonder status with the Top 5 hit novelty song "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!" in 1966.

The problem with this is that it isn't exactly accurate. As there is actually a female in his group, who sings songs that go along with the hit "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!". It doesn't matter and I could be incorrect. Here is the combination of songs that is "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!" as well as it's accompanying storyline.

Random One Liners

A Finnish friend of mind links me to an odd Finnish site which has some things that are either in English or don't have any words to them and are funny anyway. Again, a good chunk of the site is in Finnish and it's a bit NSFW at times, but it could be a lot worse. I'd give credit to the original cartoonist but I can't seem to find/her. If anyone can/could, I would appreciate that.

Holy Not Getting Any Sleep, Batman!

Once again, my sleep cycle is all over the place. With having the amount of time I do and the situations that are presented, sometimes sleep is missed. By missed, I don't mean like I'm sorry that we parted but more like I forgot to pick it up at the airport.

No big deal, it just means that blog posts are not going to be scheduled as often as they were being. This one, however, is a scheduled post.

As for actual blog news:

Grateful for my readers and their suggestions. I recently updated the suggestion thread to show all the threads that were given to me as a suggestion. Some of those are direct suggestions to Solve Unamusement or for my blog and others are not. If you noticed something you suggested not on the list, please inform me.

Otherwise, all is well and Solve Unamusement is moving well and fast. Might need to check some font sizes, however, as I saw they look a bit funny on other screens then mind. Please inform of this, as well.

As always, many thanks and keep reading.

Interactive Fiction

Also known as iFiction or just IF, there is a odd little gaming community out there that needs be pointed too. Generally, these games play like a storybook, choose your own adventure.

Some early examples would be zork I, II and III these games are nothing but that of IF and only require you to spell simple works and understand simple concepts.

Such games are usually lacking in graphics and usually play like reading a single player mud. However, such games have a lot better story then a mud, and don't require you to trust others around you.

Some of the mechanics I found on simple explanation sites made it sound similar to emulation, but that is only the case when actually dealing with DOS games. Most seem to be broken into two parts.

One part of the game is the actual game and the other is it's personal OS. Each game has to run on multiple operating systems and separating the run sequences from the game itself makes sure that more people play them.

This is due to the size of IF community itself.

A flash based, IF that was directly suggested to myself for its simplicity, shortness and general noob friendly attitude of it can be found here and in the side bar. the side bar link is located under individual flash games, although that is technically not correct.

Warning: These things require you know how to read and spell.

Racist Rabbit

A 1940's cartoon that was banned from the television for racism. The racism is very obvious with the one character being a horrible stereotype beyond an understanding for even the 1940's but the cartoon itself is just mediocre.

Several of the jokes are done several times and could have been done better. One of those being the "Sucker", which is done something around four times. An alternative, which has gotten other cartoons banned but as this one was banned anyway, would be the "jackass" image.

Souther Fried Rabbit


While I understand why it was banned, the cartoon isn't that funny. Yes, it is worth a chuckle and yes it's horribly racist on many levels. However, labeling the youtube video racist and racism absurd. I think "Banned" or "Banned from TV" would have done very well.

The Annoying Orange

Really, that title says everything there is. It's a funny little animated series about an irritating little orange that likes to harass his fellow produce. I'm sure we've all met that annoying guy. If you were my case, that was you and you enjoyed being irritating every second of the day.

Right now the series is on it's third show and each one is, in my opinion, at least worth a quick chuckle. Here, check a look at the playlist for it.

"WHAT!?"
"Knife!"
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Oh geeze, I tried to warn you."
