I tried, an it worked fine. I love staying at home because outside people love at me because of my burned skin.
Plus: I own a horse and my name is Burnt Face Man!
You must be King Joffrey’s Hound!
Well played…
The Mountain will also fix your horse
The horse is now diamonds!
that horse must be amazing…
….
thats all I got
When I was young you also could not get your hands on bombs that big. Might help.
THIS
Me neither! But I would have found one if ACME was listed in the Yellow Pages.
ACME is an actual company that makes anvils.
When I was a kid we could tell the difference between a rocket and a bomb.
this caption = win
I’ll second that.
All in favor?
Agreed.
I’ll let you know if I agree just as soon as I finish playing with Lawn Darts and then jumping off a house wearing my Superman costume.
are you going to use an anvil as a parachute when you do so?
nah hes dropping the anvil on a well positioned plank, and rock as he falls, so the rock hits the plank, and the other side goes up, smacking into his feet, resulting in infinite flight ^^ you jelly?
Bro-Tip: Use magnets for more infinite flight
By Superman costume of course you mean a towel clothespinned around your neck, right?
Well, of course. But it has to be the right color or else you plummet to your death.
You also need to wear your undies outside your pants.
Agreed
Someone read my note that this wasn’t made in the 90′s.
Whatever. ‘Mr. Wizard’ was on TV in those days and HE always told us not try his stuff at home.
WTF? Mr. Wizard always told you to do his experiments at home. He even gave you the common household object equivalent to the chemicals.
Pretty sure the reason kids are told this now days is because we did all that back then and then some moron parents sued people for it.
Exactly this.
Actually, if more kids did this back in the day, they wouldn’t have bred and created the moron lawsuit-worthy dipshnits of today.
Back in the day kids did stupid stuff at home. Parents just didn’t sue the TV show.
I second your interpretation.
I third your interpretation.
C-c-c-combo breaker!
Nobody to second the breaking? Combo maintained.
I fourth Troll’s interpretation.
What happens if there are a string of posts entitled “C-c-c-combo breaker”? Is there no longer a way out?
If your GlaDOS you just dont look at yourself posting.
*you’re
“you’re*”
Might also be why a higher percentage went on to fields in the sciences back then compared to now too.
Truth.
You were retards for watching Loony Toons.
Yeah, and pokemon are totally not retarded.
There’s all sorts of crap on television….(Disney original programming)….And you call out on Pokemon…
Hint: Look at the name of the guy that started this.
Adam?
Jim?
Lizard with candle on tail?
lets agree on one thing. ANYTHING by disney is pure crap and usually results in drug addict has beens anyway
anything by disney TODAY, anyway. similarly, anything animated. in my day waaaay back in the ’80s, a parent could sit their kid in front of almost any cartoon and not have to worry about him/her being scarred for life. on a related note, the few tv shows, video games, and movies made these days that are appropriate for kids (by which i mean, more kid-appropriate than the average simpsons episode) are much more realistic/believable than they used to be, possibly helping to give rise to the increase in “dttah” labels.
Except for the uber-gay innuendo in an assload of 80s cartoons. Yet you see an equal dose of sexism too! I’m looking at YOU, Jem and the Holograms!! I mean really, Jem, really?… you cheat on Rio WITH YOURSELF and you expect him to just drop everything for you, Jerrica… OR SHOULD I SAY JEM!?!?! I mean seriously do you feel like he’s the male equivalent of Lois Lane? Oh, you’ve never heard of Lois? Mkay then… Carry on.
Loony Tunes is still the best cartoon out there and you know it!
I concur!
I am in accord with your concurrence good sir.
Speak for yourself… I stepped on a rake as a kid, thinking it’d come up and hit me in the face like in Looney Tunes to amuse my friend. Only thing that happened was that it went through my shoe and foot…
The rake gag was a Tom and Jerry move, not looney toons.
Well, theres your problem
Apparently you guys haven’t seen The Simpsons when Sideshow Bob stepped on the rake numerous times. “Ugghhhh”
Not sure about this, but I think Tom and Jerry have been around longer than the simpsons. I might have to look it up.
Tom and Jerry started in 1939 – simpsons was in 1987.
Just in case it’s not obvious to anyone (they’ve both been around longer than probably some people here have been alive, so some people might not know)
The rake Gag was actually used by Warner Bros’s Bosko, and again when he was transferred by his creators to MGM.
I once accidentaly step on a rake, it did come and hit me in the face. I felt like such an idiot. -,-’
If you wear shoes with decent soles, it does hit you in the face…..and that is why you clean up EVERYTHING after yard work.
And why you always place a rake with the tines facing down.
well … every generation has its “pearls”
Win ^
Yeah and Batman actually had a GOOD animated series…and Pixar made good movies (I’m looking at you Cars 1&2)…
Eh, every studio has its occasional flop. “Up” was, in my opinion, quite awesome.
“the batman” was good, a shame you can’t find reruns of it on boomerang anymore
I was always hoping he would catch that smug S.O.B.
He did once, but he let him go because he had too much fun chasing him.
Nope
No, the Coyote never ate the Road Runner. He did, however, catch the bird in one cartoon, produced in 1980 by creator Chuck Jones. That film, Soup or Sonic, was part of a TV special called Bugs Bunny’s Bustin’ Out All Over. In that film the Coyote shrinks to tiny size but manages to grab the Road Runner’s giant (to him) leg. Unfortunately the Coyote is like a tiny insect to the bird. He holds up a sign to the audience: “Okay wise guys, you always wanted me to catch him. Now what do I do?”
Damn you and your ninja replies!
I’m not ninja. I eat ninjas.
Did you use soy sauce
Teriyaki.
Don’t forget da wasabi……yum!
Wile E never did catch him, but in the cartoon Tiny toons, the little coyote was chasing the little road runner in a van and ran the big road runner over. I lol’ed for hours.
I don’t remember that episode, but I do remember this one where he chased him through a pipe that got smaller and smaller at one end, causing them both to become tiny. They ran back through the pipe and RR returned to normal size while Wile E. remained tiny. RR stopped running and LET Wile E. catch him. It was only after he caught him that he realized the problem in scale.
Don’t forget that the good TV shows were a full hour long, the only anime that was popular enough to show up on Cartoon Network was Dragonball Z, and CG made things look creepy as hell. I’m lookin’ at you, Reboot. And I don’t really want to continue looking.
Yeah, but that was before AFV and Jackass
Do you realize that AFV is 21 years old right?…
WHO CARES!? its afv
Could we have made this without the word. It is very hurtful to many people. Otherwise this is funny.
Thanks.
its ok, retards no reed 2 gud.
Nope.avi
The word isn’t going to end. It’s called evolution of language. Retard doesn’t mean the same thing anymore. It hasn’t for years. Built a bridge and get over it.
Maybe they didn’t say anything because they realised that losing a kid who would try something like that… isn’t much of of loss. The gene pool needs a little chlorine.
That’s why parents back then had so many kids… they needed spares
Speak for yourself.
I just managed to not blow myself up.
If you weren’t complete retards back then, then how did you grow up to be adults who enforced such regulations? Did you find the fountain of stupid after you grew up, or what?
Here Here. As someone who grew up with this stuff I can’t believe the warnings and disclaimers they have to have now.
Turns out that we had really stupid kids.
Nature vs. Nurture can kiss my ass.
“Hear, Hear”. You’re not calling a dog, you’re expressing agreement with a statement that has been made. Originally, it would have been “Hear him!”, and meant that you were calling attention to Ryan’s words.
He’s referring to the proper way of agreeing like in the Medieval times.
Yes. And the correct form is, “Hear, hear!”, not, “Here, here!”
No its because we stopped hitting our kids. We didn’t need a disclaimer because we would try it once then not be able to sit down for a week if we got caught. Sure, we’d get to the hospital if there was a problem, but our dads used to tell the Drs before we left that they should keep a bed open just in case.
Now kids are told how they are just as good as everyone else and everyone gets a blue ribbon and a trophy because we are too afraid we could damage their fragile little egos. Now we are stuck with a generation of useless, over-medicated little pu$$ies who can’t make a decision to save their lives.
Sad but all too true.
So true. Remember when you were more afraid of your parents then the police?? Because the ass whipping parents gave out, “taught” you NOT to do the dumb-ass things in life.
Hear, hear! Kids today have little discipline (although I wouldn’t go so far as beating them, just a good swift swat on the rump when the need arises) and even less idea how to deal with lack of success. When no one can lose, nobody wins. Reality hits these kids hard when they leave the safety of the public school system and have to actually function as adults when they have been so sheltered that they are utterly unprepared.
Sir your post as gained my infatuation!! I claim you the King of the Internets
Beating children doesn’t work, strong influence and stern rules help them, and just punishment when they act out. No we don’t hand out merits based on similarity, we re-enforce that peace and fairness are the ways to a stronger global community. You’re probably just trolling, but we don’t protect our ‘fragile egos’ we protect ourselves from the legal system that can jump on your ass the minute you touch a person. Our egos are what need destroying, both the present day gangster mentality, as well as people like you who believe straightening out kids in the present requires the harsh content of the past. Lets learn from our mistakes, I was swatted if I was bad, but never beaten. No child should fear physical damage from a parent, ever. These old fashion traditions disgust me.
iv got an idea lets let all the stupid people do this and then we move on knowing that there all dead!
I second this.
If it includes people not writing grammatically correct on various unnamed internet pages.
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!
Also when you were young you didnt have people on TV doing stupid crap like this LIVE to tape. You saw it was a cartoon and said to yourself “that looks like fu… oh ow that sucks I dont wanna be turned into an accordion.” You didnt see people like those retards on jackass literally trying the stuff they saw in cartoons and getting sort of hurt by it and thinking “hey if these morons can pull it off and live I can do better” …
When you (and I) were younger television executives had an ounce of common sense.
Jersey Shore…your argument is now validated!
Speak for yourself, I didn’t try it because I couldn’t get a rocket
When i was young, it seemed that life was so wonderfull.
A miracle.
Oh beautiful, magical.
Now I’m quoting Rush and nobody thinks I’m a radical, liberal, intellecutal, cynical
That’s not Rush, it’s just another loser song by Supertramp. Rush have too much self-respect to beg for someone else to give things to them.
natural selection my dear, natural selection
Stolen idea!
I was pretty smart when I was a kid, smart enough to not tell mt parents what I did and smart enough to not do it again
Then came Jackass
sry there is simply no good quality vid for this
I remember watching this show as a kid and always asking my parents ” is that even possible?”
Their reply: “Yes,of course it is”
To bad all those kids grew up and started suing/censoring shows that placed unsafe images on TV for their kids.
You can say thanks to Jackass & Dirty Sanchez for that, those shows popularized this stunts. My neighbors are always trying stupid crap like that all the time. I already told their parents that I won’t call an ambulance if I see those stupid kids hurt themselves!
Back when you were a kid, kids lacked the capablity to do the suicidal crap kids can do now. It’s a lot easier to get explosives, high torque engines, poisonous animals and projectile weapons now then when we were kids. Kids today are also a lot more knowledgeable about engineering and fabricaiton then we ever were. Maybe in a few generations they’ll also be smart enough not to pull this crap.
That’s a load of bull. Back then you could buy a chemistry kit that came with everything you needed do make your own explosives, I had one, they were a lot of fun. You couldn’t make very much of anything dangerous, but you could make it. Now they come with empty containers and the entire section of energetic chemistry experiments has been taken out of the booklet that comes with the set.
“Kids today are also a lot more knowledgeable about engineering and fabricaiton then we ever were”
???
Don’t make me laugh. In spite of advertising all over three states and offering salaries above the industry average, I can’t find enough young people – male or female – with the knowledge to do a half-decent job for me. (Ever wonder why manufacturing is moving overseas?)
FTW
Reminds me of Violent Acres.
Heh, I loved both Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry for a majority of my life, anyone who argues with this will be rendered invalid. Even I’m smart enough not to try it.
