What does /co/ think of Calvin and Colonel?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rF43HjEUCk
So I guess if this show had succeeded The Simpsons would have brought back Apu and his family as talking bears.
>>151017488shit
>>151017488I guess recycling shit into cartoon form was the norm in the 1960s.
>>151017488But what happened to Hobbes?
I love OTR and think Amos n' Andy is misjudged so I'm interested in it, but I don't think I've seen an actual episode
it's no BJ and the Bear
>>151020682That show wasn't actually about a bear.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4nSW-77uGQ
>>151017488WELL HELLO DERE, ANDY
>>151021465>>151020682That's the gayest fucking name I've ever heard
>>151020484I don't know the radio show but the tv show still holds up as being pretty funny.If anything it's less racist now than when it came out. I can understand the argument that it was "offensive" because it was the ONLY show with black people on itnow viewers will just see it as just a regular sitcom with goofy characters
>>151021489you're really gonna diss my boi BJ and the Bear like that
>>151017488Animated by tv spots who animated the later episodes of crusader rabbit and some episodes of fractured fairy tales
The son of one of the Amos & Andy creators became a sitcom director who directed “Family Matters” when they introduced the Steve Urkel character, meaning an Amos & Andy nepo baby is partly responsible for the Urkel phenomenon. I don’t know what meaning to take from it but I’m glad I know it.Also the writer/producers of the TV version (also credited for writing and producing this animated version) went on to get rich creating Leave it to Beaver and showrunning The Munsters. That’s a diverse range of casts: black, white and undead.
>>151021797I remember Cartman had an Urkel sleeping bag, it was cool
>>151021523>now viewers will just see it as just a regular sitcom with goofy charactersThis was actually the argument made by fellow comedian and actor Eddie "Rochester" Anderson about the series, in his view most black people did not see it as reflective of the entire race, just of Amos and AndyI only hazily remember the episode I heard, it was something about Andy getting a horoscope and the Kingfish naturally trying to take advantage of the situation. The "dis dat dere" dialog was pretty exasperating but I could see any number of white characters in the same plot, it wasn't outrageously offensiveThe radio series could be considered more questionable than the TV series because it did feature two white guys playing the duo (which as a purely auditory medium is negligible but the black actors were better fits) but by the end the rest of the cast was all black, most of the voices from SOTS were from the radio series
>>151021735Blowjob and the Bear.As in "a big hairy gay guy".They were asking for it
>>151022162can't believe you're actually gonna diss my boi BJ and the Bear like that
>>151021523It was because even tough most of the minstrel show aspects of the original radio plays and the 30s sound movie were removed, the main characters, Amos, Andy, KingFish, his shrew wife and his coworker played by the voice of Brer Rabbit, were still talking in southern ebonics, nevermind the fact that many other black folks appeared in the show and talked normal and had regular jobs and lives, or that Amos and Andy no longer worked on a shitty shackel with a broken phone and that they were less stupid and more oblivious and good natured but still manipulated by the bad guy, the king fish.Judge for yourselves https://youtu.be/cYiW0_x6raQ?si=JFwrinziFTHnVT9xThe original radio plays were what they were, products of their time.
>>151021797Funny enough Joleel White hot a resentment over Urkel after the 90s because he felt he became just, the Urkel guy, and some idiots were saying his was a new soft stereotype.
>>151023159he was Sonic too though
>>151017488It's nothing to write home about.
>>151023159Because every "harmless black" stereotype came from him, just like how the "Killmonger" dreads became the go-to for every modern black character
>>151022162That's fucked up
