How, in the name of all that's Holy, does Phil Floogle do that thing with his EYES!?!?

Hi there!

Okay, so I'm reading TV Tropes from work. Many of you may be familiar with the fearsome time sink that is TV Tropes. It is a wiki of all of those themes, cliches, and other recurring elements that you see in popular media. Like many wikis, it is hideously addicting.

I was just looking through a trope called Scare 'Em ( Read more... )

Oh dear lord! No wonder people from that generation are horrifically impaired!

Hi there!

I'd totally forgotten about that! I chuckled, but by the end of the video, I was so horrified that I actually forgot the crude sexual innuendo in the beginning.

Although that one kid's behavior underscores the hidden message of the film, namely: that if you choose to ignore basic bicycle safety, not only will you be maimed in a horrific accident, but your friends will go on with their lives as if nothing ever happened to you!

Yes, I think that was the most horrific part of the whole movie for me. The fact that these kids weren't acknowledging that their peers are dying around them (or perhaps only severely maimed). It's almost like the Eloi in "Time Machine".

1) Why do those children have tails? WAS GEORGE W. BUSH RIGHT ALL ALONG ABOUT HUMAN-ANIMAL HYBRIDS?

2) Why do I recognize the names of some of the people in this film? I swear I didn't do drugs in the 60's!
