The (kind of) Funnies

I’m working on a record (and that sentence alone can be taken with a grain of salt, I suppose, since I’ve been ‘working’ on this thing since December of 2004), and last night as I was dozing off at my desk around midnight, analyzing another mix of a song that I’ve listened to a thousand times, I made my exit out of Pro-Tools, and found my way to youtube.

The reoccurring theme here on the blog seems to be ‘Playboy’ Buddy Rose, and I guess that’s a result of my endless searches for any and all video footage of him on the site (the youtube site, that is). I stumbled upon a bizarre cartoon that features the voices of, not only the beloved Playboy, but of other 70’s wrestling stars Percy Pringle, Ed Wiskoski,and Les Thatcher.

Ned Noodlebody is a cartoon made by some guy named Mr. Kurt Nielsen, about a hapless pro wrestler. I’m still not entirely sure if this is ‘vintage’ or if he’s made this thing recently. Judging from the talent pool he assembled, and the style of cartoon (I’m pretty sure it’s *not* flash animation), all indications point to the former. I could be wrong, though. It’s happened before.

Enjoy(?).
