Boris and Natasha, Goof Gas

[@divermike8943]

Natasha: "Are you not going to squirt Congress with goof gas?' Boris: "It's to late Natasha. Somebody beat us to it!" Best line in a "kids" cartoon EVER.

[@philfrei1]

How can this be over 50 years old and still current? Amazing.

good comedy never dies-honestly this is better than a lot of the stuff today

[@krautwolf]

@@JustineSHarrison it is an old method, Fritz Haber had 4000 chemical weapons around 1900, now there are millions of formulas, plastic excipient to pesticide precursors, VOC's infused to stable gels like polyacrylamide to pump thru nozzles to time release based on size of floating on air current particles. Paid to live in houses, in their names, the carrot at end of stick is in play, the play is genocide, land grab, real estate consortiums gaining ground.

some recent information, this seems to be a merging of mafias into a large syndicate world wide (edomites?) And from this information, it is made from solvents, possibly old gasoline, old dry cleaner fluids, solvents readily available or part of disposal companies, then chlorophenol is mixed into it. Then there are clever supply chains, snap pressure lines if more than one syndicate houses is adjacent. so it forms a wall of poisons, going 24/7 into communities, so this must be the real covid disease. And the result is kind of addictions being fostered, where the perpetrators do morality plays against their victims, much like crisis actors, which they get to be.

"It's too late, someone beat us to it." That is hilarious.

"I said it was going to be surprise!" ~Boris I love it when they break the fourth wall.

A $28 million committee to find out why the government is spending so much money, that's hilarious

[@unc1589]

Even as a kid I knew that Rocky and Bullwinkle wasn’t a show just for kids. I didn’t understand a lot of the jokes because I had no reference but I did know they were very grown-up and very intelligent

[@hotwax9376]

Yeah, people forget just how adult-oriented most cartoons were back then. Most animated TV series of this period (including not just Rock & Bullwinkle but also The Flintstones, The Jetsons and so forth) were primarily aimed at adults. So were the classic cartoon shorts of the era immediately prior (like Disney, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, etc.), and so are many animated TV series today (such as The Simpsons, Family Guy or Rick and Morty.) Even many contemporary animated series clearly aimed at kids, like SpongeBob for example, have developed sizable adult fanbases. Yet the stigma persisted, both then and now, that animation is only for kids. For example, Walt Disney appeared on an episode of What's My Line back in the 50s, and the question that tipped the panel to his identity was if he was "beloved by millions of children." (You can watch the video elsewhere on YT, and IIRC, Jerry Lewis asked him that question.)

[@hotwax9376]

@@michaelgreenwood3413 And those Republicans are every bit as much idiots as Bernie Sanders and the squad. Most Republicans in Congress condemned Putin's invasion of Ukraine and have (rightly) expressed distaste for the idiocy of members like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar, if only in private. I'm a Republican and hope to see this phase eventually pass.

[@rogertootkaylok5716]

Simply Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful cartoons to watch & enjoy ! I grew up seeing many more Saturday morning cartoons, such as these in the late 1950s to '60s as a boy growing up as I did while being raised by my foster father, Hank & Shirley Marie Ruuska in Fairbanks, Alaska. I've not watched any of the current ones, so I can't comment on them. Personally, I prefer those from the late 1950s to '60s ! I have much more to say about these matters, If there are any of you may share, or comment on these early cartoon shows. Therefore thank you for allowing me the time & effort in this little missive of mine. C/O RDRT. bye, bye....

Oh my gawed, this is where Trump got his master plan! We already know he styled his life after a Richie Rich cartoon. It all makes sense now. Sp3w goof gas.

[@newguy3588]

TDS is real and you have it. This is actually mocking people like you. Trump took a small loan, that's part of the joke btw, of 1m dollars from his father and turned it into billions. You took a loan of 100k and turned it into -180k lol and have the audacity to mock someone that actually used the money correctly.

Peridot, and Pearl from "Steven Universe" walks in. Pearl: "Goof gas, ridiculous!" Peridot: "That's right. We're gems. No way it would effect us. We're impervious." Amethyst also walks in, sees the goof gas gun, and picks it up. Amethyst: "What's this?"(accidentally fires it at both Pearl, and Peridot. Both have goofy looks on their faces.) Peridot(dopey voice): "What's 1++?" Pearl(dopey voice): "Duh! A? Gee! Uh, I don't know." Both ending up with goofy laughs. Amethyst: "Oh boy! Steven, and Garnet are gonna kill me."
