My Favourite Comedy Duos

I think that in this arena, Men definitely reign when it comes to comedy duos for me.
But I'm gonna lay out my top 5 and why these 5 are so great.

Number 5
Father Ted and Father Dougal
Now these two are hilarious together and are put together in every episode. Ted's kinda like the Dougal's dad/best friend/ mentor and Dougal to Ted is just difficulty and stupid.
The whole brilliance of the show was how those two would interact and I think they were what made the show work so brilliantly. Plus the last episode really shows they bond because these two basically do everything together and even though Ted finds Dougal a nuisance sometimes, you gotta love how they still manage to remain best buds even in the worse case scenarios.

Number 4
Negil and Tulio
These two are hilarious too. With Tulio's street smarts and Negil's innocence and flirtatious nature you instantly feel the bond between these two buds from the first second the film runs. They really are quite hilarious. Even when they get into a fight it is a funny one and how these two guys can be effeminate yet charming at the same time is a hard thing to pull off. So cheers to them.

Number 3
Norbert and Daggett

 Now these two are probably the most random of the bunch. These two beaver brothers are both at fault with huge flaws and sometimes it's hard to know who you like more. With Norbs sophistication and Daggetts sweet but stupid and sometimes insane antics these two both got equal spot light in every area. It was never who was more cool or who was more stupid to me because I always so them as a package deal. You can't have Norb without Dag and vice verse. They just made a whole with both having someone unique qualities and quirks it would always have to be the Angry Beavers, never Beaver.

Number 2
Dumb and Dumber dudes
Now these two is what I would like to call retarded. They amplify the very essence of comedy and duo and really just shows you the worse and best of what two besties who are completely hugely ignorant can be like. This movie really is ridiculous but this was one of the first times we see completely chaos that is created by two morons with the best intentions, most of the time. They may be best buds but these two are also what happens when two brain damaged psychotic dudes get together. Complete and utter chaos.

Number 1
Ben and Cameron
Hey, I had to put my own fav original duo on the list. Yes Ben and Cameron have been pretty much the cool unswayed dudes of the comic Adolescence but they roles are very different. With the two it's pretty much, Cameron insult, Ben don't get. I've added another character into the mix to mix things up but these two were my first comedy duo I created myself so of course they'd be a favourite.

And there you have it, my top 5 comedy duos. Most are old news but still classics and some are barely known.

So as always,

Watch what other's won't.

See ya!

Old Cartoons that were actually quite funny

Literal is the term I'd like to use here and some cartoon shows that are now old news still hold some current satire to them.

For a starter we have the ever so blunt DUCKMAN!!!!

Move over South Park. At the time Duckman was the most topical adult show on TV. As a sex maniac widower, Duckman shows a surprisingly soft side which makes you want to love this filthy creep.
It's just, most the time you hate him, which you are supposed too.
The show was very up to date and satirised everything about the usa and the way it treated the world.


Now the animaniacs was a show that border on adult references so much that you could swear this show should've been on past eight sometimes. These nasty little angels knew just how to point out every trick and secret hollywood had well before it wanted you to know and the musical numbers were magnificent with always an insight to them and a point. To teach a lesson, whether an important one or an unimportant hollywood one. Yes this was one of the first kid shows of the nineties to have a rapid adult fanbase and is still shown on TV today.

We all know that Mickey is cool, but just how modern could he be? Well nice guys finish first here as this hit show back in early 2000s had every kid tuning in. In a way that shows the disney mascots trying to keep their own business afloat this show brings the old to the new by showing 3 skits an episode while having a side story going on about what's happening in the restaurant.

What did these 3 shows have that people always need to remember? Crossover appearance. Great animation and something for all audiences of all ages.

If you like cartoons check out these old classics and hopefully always remember that old can help shape the new and that even cartoon History should never be forgotten.

Feminist Misconceptions

Hey, one thing I've been talking about lately is balance.

And there's one area in particular that seriously needs balance.

Women and Men in the media.

Now one thing I've noticed in media is the huge amount of male characters in films, both side and main and about 90% of the cast in Hollywood films are male.

So you might think, so should we have more films with mostly girls?

NOOO!

Don't appeal to genders as if there is a gender stereotype.

The best way to fix this problem is to have the cast of characters 50/50.

Please that's it.

Have 50% of characters female, and 50% male. And please don't write them as if they are a gender. Don't write a girl and don't write a guy. Write a PERSON.

So for instance, for kid films, instead of there being 1 girl among 5 lads, make it 1 girl around 2 girls and 3 lads.

All the most successful shows that appeal to all have at least somewhat equal amount of each sex.

Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons.

Please, females shouldn't just be shoved in there to get the female audience. Because people, girls are pretty much like guys. We may have some differences but a good balance person like both masculine and feminine and that's the way it should be.

So if and when I ever break into media that is my goal. To have girls as integral as the boys and to not differentiate the sexes.

Peace out!

Monster's University

Say what you will about this film, but for me it was simply EPIC!!!
Now like I've said in the past, don't go in with expectations and I actually failed on this a little :( Not that the movie failed but I had failed in my motto. I LOVE the first film and was actually kinda pissed off that they decided to make a prequel... but you know what... THE MOVIE WAS GREAT!!

Basic Synopsis: See how Mike and Sully became friends.

Now that that's over, I thought that this movie was really well made. I thought the character dynamic between Mike and Sully was top notch. A simple rivalry and the relationship wasn't forced at all. It actually developed quite nice and slowly which you don't see often in films and it was as more of a character driven story.

Also a stand out was the Dragon, Scorpion chick. I forgot her name but I really liked her. She was three dimensional and quite scary. SHE actually scared me. And I'm not easily frightened... okay that was a lie.

However I will admit that the side character's mostly didn't interest me. I loved Mike and Sully but all their fraternity brothers were just kinda "meh" to me.

But Sully in particular was great. He was such a jock in this but I thought he was so cool and laid back and even a little moody and hence as the number one character that stuck out most to me, Sully wins the prize.

Also evil guy from the first movie was here and I quite liked him. He was kinda nerdy and totally cool! It was kinda like the origins for what all these guys would become and that was kinda neat.



I also like how this movie says "You may love something, doesn't mean you are good at it" and how Mike really wasn't scary and that scene near the end when he goes into the human world... THAT WAS SO HEARTBREAKING BUT EPIC at the same time.

Also a little thing I love in movies is when nothing is really going on (I don't know why but Stand By Me pretty much immortalized that thing for me) where it is simply characters interacting and these two do that perfectly. I LOVED seeing them interact. I LOVE character dynamic and Mike and Sully had such a good one. So if I was gonna do a Fanfic it would be about Mike, Sully and that scorpion chick because they were the main stand outs in this film and who I will remember.

Also Mike wasn't as much as a comedian, which kinda bothered me... a little, but I do think he was better developed in this.

Also there was so many tie ins with the first movie, it was super fun for that reason. It was feel good and the last ten minutes was like the cherry on top of the perfect film. It's kinda like "Yeah you can start from rock bottom and still make it" because sometimes you can.

Also major twist that I loved was how things didn't just go straight forward narrative, the last thirty minutes were really imaginative and there's something that Sully does that is so heartbreaking to Mike, I felt like crying.

I love how no matter how much you try, this movie simply says, sometimes something is just not your destiny.

And one last thing before I finished this review. Mike's dream is displayed in this film as something he thought he would never accomplish, but does in a different way in the first movie.

Kay, that's all my geeking out for today

10/10

And remember,

Watch things other's wont.

Bye!

Equestria Girls Review

What did I think of this movie... sigh,
IT WAS AWESOME.
Okay, I know that was an outburst and a lot of bronies would disagree but to me, this movie was epic. I liked how it was done. It was so High School musical... you have no idea.
So basic synopsis, Twilight has to go into the human world to get her crown.
That over let's talk about what I like.
The humor for one thing, it was pretty hilarious. Every joke hit in my opinion, especially the ones coming from the characters.
And the girls,
Twilight in the human world was so funny. There's a scene where she's acting like a pony in a library and Snips and Snails record it. They post it on youtube and she looks like a complete...cough "Retard".
That's the best way to put it, that was honestly the best bit of the film.
She first bumps into AU Fluttershy and Fluttershy was surprisingly good in this film... but not as good, and I repeat, not as good as Applejack.
People always say about the show that Applejack is the most normal character and I think being put into the human world really made her cool because she just fit with it. Also she was probably the most cool character in the film, there was a scene where she's opening a cap with her mouth and I was, "SO COOL" and another seen where she was sitting on the desk all like, "Yeah Ah put up with this shit all the time" and also when she was pretending to be Twi and Sunset Shimmer... I was like, AJ you own every scene.
But I think the worse character in the human world was most like... sigh, Rainbow Dash. I just think she was poorly written in this. Half of her dialogue was literally "That's Awesome," "I'm Awesome," "You are so Awesome!" I mean, great way of defining her character, the character was like a five year old wrote her. Also I think she had the lease speaking role of the movie, she barely said a thing.
There was also the bad BAD romance, it was so bad it made me laugh.
Basically Twilight and "Brad" (I'm not bothered to say his full name.) just say three words to each other.
"We shouldn't keep bumping into each other this way."
"Well you know me, I make a splash!" Twilight said,
She walks away, blushes.
Later
"Twilight didn't do that, here are the real pictures,"
After the two didn't say a SINGLE word to each other in between. Then,
"Will you go to the ball with me?"
Of course it was funny how Twilight wasn't even listening and ran out freaking out over something else. And then the last line,
"Will you go with me even though you said no before?"
"Sure I know nothing about you, we've only spoken twice but hey! Your cute and you have a voice that sounds like my brother... and we all know I secretly have the hots for my brother."
"What?"
"Yes!!" 
                                     
Also the corny romance music they played every time they were together was unbearably funny.
Rarity was also good in this but didn't shine as much as AJ and Fluttershy and Pinkie were good per usual.
I think the ending just made me laugh but as in "So bad it's good!" When Sunset Shimmer turned into a bad ass fairy and zombiefied the school, and then they have a sailor moon eske moment with all the girls turning half pony and half human.
And of course Rainbow Dash would not get out of the fucking sky because you know, even though she's never flown before she knows how to naturally and has to fly (It's her signature, along with "AWESOME!") 
So all in all, what do I give this movie?
10 out of 10. It was just like the show, so it just felt natural. I loved it, so look out err... other kid shows, this movie can show you what it can do on a ridiculous concept. . :D

Fictional Couples


There are just some couples that I see in movies and TV which I think are just great.
These couples just have great chemistry, their personalities blend perfectly, or else they just add something to each other or bring out something with the other which just makes them work.
A lot people find couples annoying but I love them and here are my top 5

5
Ross and Rachel
Who could not pick Ross and Rachel? These two just work. They have great chemistry, they never get annoying, they are a dynamic match who have heartwarming moments, comedy and banter that's so witty it's amazing. These two are just great, and who else are one another perfect for than the other? So as number 5, Ross and Rachel.

4
Tulio and Chel
Now this couple is sexy. Granted the movie Road to Elderado was more of a bromance, these two just had great chemistry. They both sly, witty clever and have an air of confidence. Plus Chel knows what she wants and gets the usually smart thinking Tulio to land on his face with how she can get him to cater to her every whim. These two, so much more sexier than Mr and Mrs Smith. These two, if you haven't seen their chemistry, WATCH THE FILM!

3
Ned and Mosby 
When I was a kid, these two were the shit! They were both as well developed as the other, both independent people and both hilarious! They had great chemistry and I think it also helped that they were dating in real life to get across the good relationship they had. The downside is is that you don't get to see them as a couple to the very end but boy is it worth the wait. The build up pays off and this time I actually wasn't annoyed that it took three seasons for the couple to be together.

2
Gnomeo and Juliet
These two, perfect couple. They just balance each other so well. They both confident individuals and really stand out as the alpha couple. They both have quick wit, kind personality and bring the very essence forward of what Romeo and Juliet were about. So for a kid's movie about knomes, these two are quite well rounded.

1
Aladdin and Jasmine
This is the earliest age I was introduced to romance and it was between Aladdin and Jasmine. These two are just perfect for each other. They're both kind, loyal, smart and honest and shows what it should be like in a relationship. They bring out the bets in each other and compliment each other. Aladdin and Jasmine are in my opinion a match made in heaven, soul mates and I have not seen a couple since than that has come close to this perfect match.

And that's my top 5 couples, granted I like a lot more couples than this but these are the five that always call to mind when I think of the topic.
So for now,
Watch what others won't
Ciao!



The Cutest of Characters

I've come across my range of cute characters of the years, but for a lot of the time it's the characters that don't fall under the conventionally cute that get high up on my list.
So here's my top five cutest characters. (FYI: These are mostly going to be kids)

5
Chucky

There's just something about this whiny kids that gets to me, he's a scaredy cat, he's a wimp yet he is just so adorable that I can't help but say "DAWWW!"
There's just something about his character design that gets to me, I don't know what it is exactly... maybe the glasses, maybe the untied shoes, maybe the raggy red hair or the buck teeth, but when it all comes together with the cute little voice he becomes a dote, so without further a due we get Chucky.

4
Mabel 
Now this kid, this kid is unbeliveably cute. With her "Wah Wah!" catch phrase, her quirky personality down to her pink cheeks and curly bubbly hair style, she is the Epiphany of cute. I think the thing that makes her the most cute is her personality to boot, and for some reason there's just something cute about those braces... so for adorable character number 4, we have Mabel Pines

3
Gir 
Now some may argue that this guy should be 1st and I would agree, but for personally reasons he's 3. Now why is he so cute? Could it be his psychotic nature, he's unbelievable stupidity, he's adorable character design, or could it be that he shouts every word, he's never ending hunger, how he doesn't really have any grasp of what is going on... well it is all of that! Gir is adorable, he is crazy, but there's just something about his personality and big blue eyes that makes my heart go "Awww!"
So I present to you, Gir.

2
Wakko

"Isn't he CUTE!"
Is what everyone should be shouting at him instead at his sister. Now Wakko, HE IS CUTE! The animators gave him so many things that he just had stick out for me. To name:
  • His tongue is always sticking out
  • His hat
  • His "Ringo Star" Accent
  • His hunger
  • His Mallet
  • Even how he has barely any lines most the time.

He is just cute and that's all we need. Just watch any episode of him or this one 
And Finally for Number 1 we have
1
Daggett
Oh yes, my own personal choice.
Now this guy may not look the cutest. BUT HE IS! And not just the typical cute but the cute the comes from inside, the personality.
Maybe it's his voice maybe it's his whoobie status, but somewhere between feeling sorry for him and how he honestly doesn't care half the time to how he deserves what happens to him. Dag comes between the line of being cute, to being unlikable to being pathetic to being annoying. But when he is in the cute state, HE IS ADORABLE!
Dag is cute, unique and I haven't seen a character quite diverse as him in a long time.
May you live on on the net, Dag, and keep being yourself.

And that's my top 5 cutest characters, they may not be the typical pick but they are mine and I hope you enjoyed,
Until next time,
Watch what others don't
Ciao!
