The Rainbow Plucking Orgy (Flash req'd)

I found this rather amusing, especially given my love for Rainbow:

I'd like this to be shown on American telly :lol:

(*cough* btw, is this the way you were raised?)

Rainbow looks positively cerebral next to what today's kids have to watch. :-(

Yes, Lots of kiddies TV shows in the UK in the 80's were full of inuendo... that's why the British have such a sharp sense of humour :-D

Well, considering my mother, in my early years I preferred to watch the test image on the telly (a rarity that test image has become these days :-x), with it's eternal bleep
so, is telly influential on the premature mind? Yes! :insane:

:lol:

I'd always heard about this, now I've seen it :-D

The flash file uses online authentification to make sure unscrupulous types can't steal it, if you get the "sux 4 u!" message try using internet explorer instead of the wonderful Opera.

Worked fine in Opera 7.51 here, oh, and I could steal it too :-P

Who is Roger? Where's Freddy?

I've seen clips from that before on TV Offal. It looks like a one-off they did for fun. TV Offal made it seem like the clips were from different shows, but I think that covered them all.

I've read before that childrens TV writers try to work in some sexual innuendo and jokes that would go over childrens heads, just to make the job more interesting. I watch more than a healthy amount of cartoon network and must say that some of the references are blatant! Or maybe I just have a dirty mind.... Naa :angel:

Well, it's certainly the key to a successful show. The Simpsons, for instance, has several different levels of humour often within the same joke, that means it appeals to adults and youngsters equally. :-)

There's a similar dynamic in the surrealism of shows such as Button Moon, The Magic Roundabout and even Sooty, that I feel is painfully absent from anything I've seen produced recently.  One possible exception being the Teletubbies, although I haven't watched that enough for it to annoy me yet. :-D

:-) That was amusing.


Also, it's a bit scary.

Check Zippy's reaction when George informs us that he's "only got a small twanger"!

Also, listen out for a certain word that is uttered as Rod, Jane and Roger (who?) come in.
