Neh… what’s up, homies?
Posted by Ray @ 1:22 amMany of us grew up with the sound of Bugs Bunny’s “Neh… what’s up, doc?”. Many of us have enjoyed his capers with Elmer (the bald dude with the shotgun). Many of us love his voice (or not). Well starting soon, Warner Brothers is giving Bugs Bunny a makeover. Yes folks, the new and improved Bugs Bunny is “fresh, cool and hip”. He’ll also be a martial arts expert and have lasers for eyes.
Okay, I’ll wait for all of you to recover from the bitter taste of bile before going on.
Ready? Okay, the new series is going to be called: Loonatics.
Alright, alright, save some vomitus for the next bombshell. His new name is: Buzz Bunny.
You’d better eat something, or else prepare for some dry retching. Bugs isn’t the only one getting a makeover; the rest of the Looney Tunes cast will get one too. Guess what Daffy Duck has for his built-in power? Dig this: Built In Sonar.
But I guess it’s all okay because Bugs Buzz has frickin’ laser beams for eyes!
(I’m sorry. In comedy school we were told that if all else fails, a reference to Austin Powers would fix everything.)
I have one suggestion, though. Make him talk gangsta! That’ll get your target demographic right away, WB. I mean, just look at Temasek Polytechnic’s new campaign. I’ll just bet their offices are overflowing with applicants eager to be a part of tp4u, yo!
Warner Brothers isn’t the only one making hilarious gaffes for the younger generation. Microsoft has recently come up with a Parent’s primer to computer slang, which is basically a leet-speak guide. Ostensibly, this “primer” is supposed to help parents monitor their children. The irony is, leet-speak has been ridiculed and mocked so many times I doubt any person with an ounce of image-consciousness would even dare to type it out and actually mean it… let alone teenagers.
In other words, if they’re typing leet, they’re probably making fun of someone, not planning to hack into the White House.
Not to mention someone’s already done a better job in explaining “leet”.
But if anywhere there was someone deserving of the label, it’s these guys. A bathroom attendant… in McDonalds! I applaud the man who braved ridicule and tiredness to provide a service usually found only in five-star hotels. Best of all, they got away with it! It’s a rather long read, but the photos cracked me up.
Okay, time for house keeping. The next two weeks will be kind of hectic, and news updates will be temporarily suspended until I can get something resembling free time back onto my schedule again. Never fear, the comic goes on.
Big thanks to Adrian over at a life uncommon. Seeing my traffic spike like that brings a warm glow to my otherwise frigid heart.
