Lou the Cat's most extreme video!

Readers!
Lou and I made a top ten most extreme eliminations ever video. It took over 23 hours to watch every episode of MXC and many more hours to make the movie. No reference was made to the best of shows or any other internet top 10 video. This is original scholarship.  Most extreme elimination challenge. If you don't know what I'm talking about just watch and be amazed. 

This is it folks! The first ever Lou the Cat blog video!

photoshop and ya d-don't stop!

Dear readers,
    I'm sorry that I have not been posting but me and lou were pretty busy with finals. Lou's final exam for feline studies involved rigorous sleeping. Also, I accidentally locked lou in my room when I shut the door so that the clouds of smoke from the chilli chicken that Beans and I were deep frying wouldn't set off the smoke alarm. When I went to sleep that night I turned over and found myself face to face with a pile of cat poop. It was right next to my pillow. Now that's communication!

And now for some photoshoops in order of awesomeness:


 Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 the greatest video game of all time.





Lou the cat as Krang the lord of dimension X, archenemy of the animated ninja turtles.




 
 It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood





Me and Pika-Pika-PikaLou!


Those last two are horrifying.
Happy summer from me and lou to you.
Best,
Lou and lou.

Weird Cartoons Part II: The Reckoning

Ok So here is the top 5 weirdest cartoons that me and lou watch on a regular basis. But I remembered two more since last week and so there will be shows in the fractional parts of the top 5.



5.5) Tom Goes to the Mayor


Awesome. This is Tim and Eric's first show on cartoon network. It is about a bad but enthusiastic entrepreneur (Tim)  who brings his ideas to the town mayor (Eric). The mayor usually changes the ideas and things get wacky. The style is really cool and I wish I had come up with it. In the Episode "Calcucorn" Tim invents a plug in unicorn statue with a calculator in it's cement base. The Mayor orders them for everyone including the architects building a bridge but the calculator doesn't work properly. "Let's try 8+8..." Tim pulls the cord the unicorn says "18" Tim says "well that doesnt sound right let me just crunch some numbers here... ah crickets!"


5) Aeon Flux



Aeon Flux is a crazy avant-garde science fiction cartoon that was on MTV in the 90's. It's by the animator Peter Chung. It started as a segment on Liquid Television which is a weird and awesome show. It was also made into a not good movie in 2005. It's about an assassin secret agent who goes on solo missions and kills tons of faceless solders while bounding around acrobatically. She usually dies at the end of the episode. You don't really know why she's there or what shes trying to do and then there is usually no conclusion as she dies while trying to complete her mission. It's super trippy.


4) Super Jail



Superjail is about a magical warden of a jail for incurable criminals located at the center of a volcano. It's possibly under water too. According the the famous Brad Garoon, it has the best animation of any show on tv. It's mostly fight scenes and was originally just going to be one long fight scene. The fight scenes are awesome. The show is very insane and violent and trippy. Highly recommended by Lou the Kee. Zoom in on the above picture to get a taste of the insanity.



3) 12 oz Mouse



There is a continuous story line to 12 oz Mouse but it's very hard to understand. This is a show about a secret agent mouse who is an alcoholic and discharges firearms at random. Sometimes he sings opera on top of tanks. There is a shark at a desk and hippy with a hook for a hand who lives on a corn dog farm. The drawings are crude and the dialog is confusing. It is very absurd. It's also very awesome. Give it a shot.


2) Perfect Hair Forever



This is another short lived adult swim show that satirizes anime cartoons. It features a young man named Gerald with a balding problem who seeks the 9th level of power on the Tuna Mountain and his Uncle Grandfather who sends him out on his quest. Quaffio the evil controller of cats sends Astronomical Cat and Cat Man to stop Gerald, but he is helped by an annoying tree and a psychopathic tornado with a knife. There is also the King of All Animals who find himself and his menagere (giraffe voiced by mine and Lou's favorite rapper MF DOOM) in a hole in the middle of a bloody battle between hot dog buns and cats.
It is not for the faint of cartoon heart, but is highly recommended.


1.5) Xavier: Renegade Angel



This is a cartoon about a mystical traveler who is all knowing but also pathetically clueless. Note that it is weirder than all those other cartoons. The animation is disturbing and trippy. It was created by the creators of Wonder Showzen an utterly insane show it it's own right, and it is pretty dark. Xavier is a traveling shaman who has a beak and a snake for an arm and whose knees bend backwards which is really creepy. It is often extremely offensive and awesome. Recommended for the weird cartoon cultured reader.


1) Off the Air


This show is a collection of short films both animated and live action. There are only two 11 minute episodes. The first time I saw it it was 4:00 am and I wasn't expecting to watch anything insane. It totally blew my mind. The Animation is set to music and is fluid and vivid and strange. In one animation it shows people in an office in the fifties and suddenly out of their heads grows a spinning oscillating column of open mouths and eyes with no nose. These eventually fill the screen and there is a long snake of spinning mouths that encircles the screen excreting a swirling psychedelic pattern in the background. Hallucinatory and intense.


Thats all folks. Any differing opinions should be posted at the bottom of Blog de la Lou. I recommend that you scoop up any of these cartoons by bittorrent. If anyone has questions about how to do that shoot me an email and I'll help you out.



Lou the Cat says Peace. Armageddon has been in effect, go get a late pass… step.

weird cartoons part I

 Lou likes taking baths as long as no water is involved.


    Lou the Cat and I, Lou the Person, enjoy watching cartoons together.

     We watch weird cartoons, "the weirder the better with an extra dash of insanity," says lou. Together we have compiled a list  of strange cartoons that we enjoy, and we would like to share that list with you. Here are numbers 6 - 10 or 10 - 6. whichever. They coincidentally are all in the 11 - minute format and were originally on cartoon network's adult swim. You get 5 - 1 / 1 - 5 next week. Now in reverse order of weirdness.

10.)  Sealab 2021

     This show is really awesome. It used recycled footage from an old horrible boring cartoon from the 70's about environmentalism, called Sea Lab 2020. Crazy adventures occur on the underwater research station which often conclude with the whole place being blown up. The first two seasons are primo.




9.)  Frisky Dingo

     This show is super awesome. It is a serial comedy with a continued story line but it is so insane that any individual episode is baffling and absurd even if you have been following the story. It is about a super villain who, having spent all of his money on the Anihilatrix, a device for launching the earth into the sun, has only a quarter million left for his evil speech of doom and ends up having to send postcards instead. There is also a super hero who is also a billionaire, and an invention competition that is won by the "ant farm keyboard" which is subsequently dipped in toxic waste and the hyper intelligent ants who were "eating RAM" escape and take over the brain of the main female character. The first season is the best but the second is good too.





8.)  The Brak Show

This show is really awesome. Its about a cat-man from space and his friend who is an evil praying mantis. There are alot of show tunes. First season is the best.



7.)  Assy McGee

This show is very awesome. It's about a butt and pair of legs who wear olive green socks and a gun holster who fights crime as a city cop. He shoots a perp in the knee who screams "Help! I need a doctor!" Assy responds by shooting him in the other knee and mumbling "Now you need two doctors." First season is the best.





6.)  Squidbillies

      This show is exceedingly awesome. It's about hillbillies who are squids. You might have gleaned that from the title. He main character Early Cuyler lives with his son Rusty and his sister Lil and his grandmother Granny. In the first episode the Sheriff come to the house for a hair styling by Rusty who is working for his aunt while she works in her meth lab. "That boy can perm!" says the Sheriff  just before he sets on fire and screams demonically while tearing his own face off. Lil realizes that rusty had just shampooed the sheriff's hair with half a million dollars of pure crystal meth. The sheriff reappears in the next scene because there are rows of sheriffs growing like corn in a field nearby. I'm not really sure which of the six seasons is best but I tend to lean towards first seasons because it is not as  polished but has a purity of purpose.



These didn't even make our top 5 weirdest cartoons that we watch on a regular basis. Stay tuned for those, dear readers.



Also here is the fourth EP in the Lou the Cat musical parade of wailing rock music:

1.) That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate - 2:06 - Mission of Burma

2.) Hybrid Moments - 1:42 - The Misfits

3.) Miss Fortune - 16:37 - Faust

4.) Fire Spirit - 2:53 - The Gun Club
