my LA teacher showed this to the class... she purposely skipped the sex scene saying its "inappropriate" but hey i came back here to watch it cause i'm a perverted person. ahahah xD
lol i remember this! My English teacher tried showing this to us last year, she skipped the "veggie lovin'" scene b/c all the guys in our class where cat calling the sounds they heard before she fast forwarded it! All us girls just sat their trying not to laugh. lol good times
it's neay and all but we watched this in my english class aswell. they couldn't figure out how to mute the sex scene so we were stuck looking awkwardly at our desks lol one of the finer moments in my existence lol
My English teacher showd this to us yesterday and before she showed it she said " if you find a potato and a tomato grunting and rubbin together disturbing you may leave the classroom for 8 minutes" lol
haha watched this in english until it got to the sex part hahaha. teacher thought it wasn't very appreciate even though high school students know about sex lol
I'm amazed that so many English teachers showed this apparently, i thought mines was a retard pothead who was high as shit when he found it...it turns out other teachers where too
I found this by clicking on the link on my english teacher's website. I understand why since we're learning about the "Oedipus Effect" in psychoanalytic theory. I understand it better, but I'll never look at veggietales the same way again though.
So, apparently if you cross a stalk of broccoli with a tomato, you get a potato, and if you cross that same tomato with the potato, you get...a cherry tomato?
Oh, and as a side note to those who are curious, Oedipus was made king and wed his mother because he got rid of a sphinx that was terrorizing citizens of Thebes, he didn't just randomly encounter his mother dancing.
It's a small thing, but could be considered significant depending on who you ask.
This is actually more accurate than I expected. A few key points were skipped, like the fact that Oedipus was only traveling to Thebes to ESCAPE the fate of murdering his father and having children with his mother.
When he was born, the king and queen of Thebes heard this fate from an oracle and basically tried to kill him by having him abandoned in the wilderness. He ended up being adopted by the king and queen of a neighboring kingdom, all his life he thought THEY were his parents, so when he heard an oracle tell him the same thing, he tried to get as far from his "parents" as he could, not knowing he was actually going towards his real parents.
And in trying to escape his fate, he only managed to fulfill it to the letter. Oh, cruel fate! Why dost thou cast thine slings and arrows upon poor Oedipus?
We just read Oedipus the king for mythology and our teacher opened the class with this saying "I'm going to see if you read the play, I'll know if you find this funny." we all found it quite funny :)
good job with the video, but i think you missed one of the main elements of dramatic irony (or i missed it). Oedipus was looking for the killer when it turned out it was him, and the audience knew this. But other wise i learned alot from listening and watching this video
to the creator of this incredible video.. I'm sorry that nekofreek101 hasn't grasped the concept that you making this will probably help many more people learn the story of oedipus because many will never read it. Also he or she has missed the blinding truth that retelling stories is the very foundation of our culture and society, the very way we even know the story of oedipus is because people have "reiterated the same thing someone else has already told." The video is extremely clever
I have watched this so many times now, and I NEVER tire of it. I find new cleverness every single time. So hilarious and moving, simultaneously! I'm so, so glad that even in his ultimate exile, Oedipus has one little loyal sheep to comfort him. Thanks, little sheep.
we watched this in my english class, but I'm a bit confused. wouldn't it make more sense for the broccoli to have the potato peelers, since he is fighting a potato? Just saying.
