jellysundae Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 My brain's pottering about by itself, as they do, and suddenly reminded me about Roobarb and Custard, which was a fab cartoon that I adored as a kid in the 70s. So now I'm sharing an episode with you! So enjoy! Especially the epic theme music! It's also fabulously British which hopefully makes it all the more fun. Did you like it? Share something that makes you happy. =3 lojoco49, phill and evervast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 what makes me happy is that they re-booted Captain Tsubasa with new animation and enhanced HD graphics (it's just the same old story though) wish they'd make him into an adult already ...

trickkey Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) My friend showed me this video and it's just... so sweet and cute and pure and I love it! (And it's clean, adorable fun to listen to. ^^) Enjoy, my friends ^-^The Egg Song It makes me smile everytime I hear it. ^-^ EDIT: I almost forgot about this video. It's fun and pretty much sums up Popplio & Litten if they were to get into a contest on who would be best. Heh. I can picture Rowlet in the background being like: "Uhh.. Guys..? I still exist."Anything You Can Do (Pokemon Animatic) Edited May 10, 2018 by trickkey Added another video that makes me happy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojoco49 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 In the 70's Fred Dagg appeared on New Zealand tv screens. He was an hilarious spoof of Kiwi farmers and farming. He had 6 sons who helped him on the farm - they were all named Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm working on a sketch based on the lyrics at 2:00-2:08. I've also learned some history behind the song's origins. I only knew it before as a song my late Dad performed that he learned from one of the legendary Folk music groups of his day. The Kingston Trio, who popularized the song around 1959. Though it was originally written for a political campaign in 1949, and the candidate's name was Walter O'Brien, not George, like in the Kingston Trio's rendition of the song. But that's how Folk music often works, people change up lyrics at times to fit their style. Anyway, this is the song. Hope you guys enjoy. If you'd prefer childhood cartoons, there are PLENTY I could rattle off and find links for on Youtube. LOL I'd also like to recommend this Youtube Channel Playlist! https://www.youtube.com/user/BProductions12/playlists?shelf_id=0&view=1&sort=dd I do share this one occasionally. The only surviving video of my Dad, Uncles and Grandfather performing some great examples of Irish, Folk and even a little Western music for a St. Patrick's Day gig in a church basement in a rural Irish community in my home state. This was from 1984. There are 25 clips, one for each song. I received a dvd my aunt made of it from the old VHS tape for Christmas after my Dad died. Come the following March, and thanks to a Christmas present from my Mom, I was able to play the video on the computer, and Hack it up into these clips. It's the whole thing, minus the intermission. Which is just people talking. I was... about 2 and 3/4s old, and I remember the old guy doing the camera work... Clearly he wasn't used to it, as you can tell by the way the camera is moving, sometimes they have disembodied heads, and sometimes he's zoomed on the wrong person. It's a neat coincidence that my OLDEST memory of my Dad's performing, would be the ONLY recorded gig that is known to have survived all these decades. LOL Again, if you guys mean more like childhood TV shows, I can post youtube videos in spades. LOL Lots of great cartoons, especially in the 80s.

jellysundae Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 @lojoco49 Hahaha, that was great, I love how deadpan it is. That's some nice-looking proper bread there! And milk in bottles, yay, non-homogenised too! As a kid I always LOVED opening a new bottle of milk so I got to shake it, it's the little things! I'd not want to share the table with that lot though. And them trailing along behind their dad like ducklings, LOL. So a big question comes to mind . . . what happened to the wife? Was she was sold off, like the hamster? lojoco49 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
