Care Bears Mad this a Top Five Episode 5/5

[MeggieMay]

Well I got the "Who's on First" joke, though it took me a bit to figure it out :anime:.

please explain this one, i still don't get it.

[mojokingbee1]

Fell flatter than Parappa. Care Bears and Dr. Who are my picks in this weak episode. 2/5

[Timmay]

please explain this one, i still don't get it.
It's a classic Abbot & Costello bit where two guys are talking about the people on the baseball field and their nicknames, neither fully understanding what the other guy is trying to say. The guy on first is nicknamed Who, so the question "Who is on first" seems like someone stating the obvious. Take that idea and run wild with it and that's "Who's on first"

In this episode British Rock band "The Who" are on first.

EDIT: Or I'm crazy and it's Dr. Who.. not "The Who".. silly shows I don't watch so I don't get cultural references..

yeah i know the bit, actually it's Dr who. i didn't notice it at first though

[Duke]

A decent episode, but at least it was better than last week.

[Jyose]

The care bear sketch set the mood of mediocrity this time. I'm not sure if it's possible for them to write funny spoofs anymore, they expect the fact that they're touching something from the 80s to do the work for them and they just stick in:

A: Drugs
B: 'political satire'
C: Sex

The Hiemlich Manuver joke was probably the best of the episode, which says something, IMO

Don't get me wrong though, I usually like this show, maybe missing a few messed with me a little

[MeggieMay]

What I didn't notice to begin with was he was standing on First at a Baseball field :sweat:. I knew it was suppose to be the Fourth Doctor because of the scarf and coat, though I don't think it was an actual Barbie sized Doc 4 figure [they actually made dolls like that, along with a Leela and a K-9, circa 1976 (and those K-9's are quite collectable :cool: )]

As to the Doctors playing band members in the The Who - I've seen that sketch. Very funny but it's not from Robot Chicken (unless RC decides to remake it at some point) :anime:.

[Freedom Fighter]

Better than last week's, that's for sure. The only likable sketch was the 'Harry Potter' one, even though I missed out on why Dumbledore was black and that character's appearance at the end. Everything else I was neutral on, which is better than feeling negative about, that's for sure.

I didn't even know such a thing as Care Bear Cousins existed.

6.5 out of 10 for "Password: Swordfish."

[The Fullmetal]

Wow, this episode sounds so stupid, I probably won't even watch it. Half of those references will probably go over my head, anyway.

EDIT: I ended up watching it after all. Heimlech Returns was awesome. I got a Batman Begins vibe when it showed Heimlech and his dad in the alleyway. Kinda stupid, but the training scene on the ice with Ducard was good, as was the jab at Schumacer at the end (God, did Batman Forever and Batman & Robin suck).

[Rabi~en~Rose]

wow this is like the worst RC ever for me I totally didn't like any of it besides the dealing burgers segment :( what a flop

[Carolina Red]

Favorite parts:
The story of Hello I Am Mute/Howdy I Have Brain Damage
Deal a sandwich
No ice cream!
What
Don Cheadle the wizard
Monkey tries hitting on gorilla's wife

I couldn't say much about the Care Bear sketch except that the New Jersey part was great.

[The Myst]

The Harry Potter part and the Heimlech parts were EXCELLENT. The part at the start with the rock paper scissors thing was funny as well. For some reason, the kid who kept getting hit by the car had me laughing uncontrollably.

[Tash]

I don't really get the purpose of the Hotel Rhonda refrence in the middle of the care bears sketch. It just seemed to be there for the heck of it.

Well, the original actor who played Dumbledore died, and he was replaced in the later movies. The sketch made it seem like they replaced the actor every movie.

By the way, I thought Joel Schumaker was a guy? Did he get a sex change or something?

[TnAdct1]

Man, I had to re-watch part of tonight's episode to understand the "Dr. Who's on First" joke that people are talking about.

Anyways, the two main highlights of the episode are as followed:

-Care Bears Hotel Rwanda (big laughs for having the Cloudkeeper from the two Care Bears specials as God and having him turn Care-A-Lot into New Jersey)
-Harry Potter Hits Puberty (LOL the bit with Snape's secret Jacuzzi)

Speaking of Harry Potter, without making what would be an obvious crack from me, did anyone else think that this segment needed a certain euphanism for a male body part (see AMV Hell 3 to see what I mean)?

[Wounded_Dragon]

I don't really get the purpose of the Hotel Rhonda refrence in the middle of the care bears sketch. It just seemed to be there for the heck of it.

Hotel Rwanda, movie(based on real life) with Don Cheadle in it revolving around ethnic cleansing and attempts at saving lives from said cleansing.

[tucsoncoyote]

If you don't get Abbott and Costello jokes, you'll never get to first base..

But if you do get Abbott and Costello Jokes perhaps for those who really don't get it.. well here's a link... Who's On First, What's on Second, I don't know is on Third... (Who Cares??!) (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml)

Now as for the rest of the chicken.. the Harry Potter parts were funny, and in fact the Care Bears were stupid! (Okay score one for Potter!) Heimlich returns spoofed both Batman Returns and the Heimlich Manuver..(The Choker.. bad punfar!)

other then that weaker then a bunt by Yesterday...(Whos' that.. No Who's on First!)

3/10....

:coyote:

[Disco Pete]

Maybe it's because I'm currently reading the Potter books, but that sketch was laugh-out-loud funny! Care Bears was also hot. Didn't quite get the "Who's On First" bit; I saw The Doctor out in a ball field, but it didn't quite connect (it seems so obvious now).

Thumbs Up

[Fan of Sponge]

Being an avid fan of Harry Potter, I thought the sketch was funny. I can see they're doing it, Daniel Radcliff who does Harry is trapped as a teen playing a child. I really enjoyed the Ricky sketch where he was mute, deaf, and partially brain damaged. The Care Bears sketch didn't end the way it could've, but the promotion for New Jersey caught my eye. New Jersey used to be a state full of forests and they were beautiful until the growth of New York City spread out under urban sprawl.

Last night's episode was just average and nothing really memorable came out of it. 7/10

[Warrior Kitana]

As a whole the eps fell flat and was rather bland. The stand-out sketch for me was the Harry Potter parody. While the soccer one managed to get a couple of laughs from me, it got stall by the end. While I didn't care for last week's episode either, this one is slightly better although that's not saying much. :shrug:

OH! Now I get it! I thought that the puberty jokes were random. Now that I get the joke, I see that it was well though-out.

[Zero Kagayaki]

the harry potter skit and care bear is okay I give it 5/10

[Trogdor]

Fell flatter than Parappa.
I heard that was actually a really good game (looks stupid, but a lot of games like that turn out pretty well from my experience).

I'm sorry, I don't really have anything related to say... I watched this episode but I forgot most of what happened. I missed the first minute of the Carebears thing, and aside from that and the Harry Potter and Pubertus bit I don't remember what happened because my memory just goes sometimes >_>

Also it was "Heimlich Begins", not Returns...but I'm just a nitpicker, no offense to anyone <.<
