Bulk and Skull 32

First, the bad news. The bad news is you might have to expect a hiatus on Bulk and Skull episodes, because I will be entering into Debtor's Prison finally for being unable to afford the nine textbooks I need for the four classes I was somehow able to sign up for this semester. Add that to gas prices, car payments, and my having been blacklisted by Wal-Mart, and I'll start looking like I got worked over by Hollywood cultists.

Episode 2.47 has our little Mighty Morphin' Yesmen prosyletizing reading, which doesn't help when the reason the magic of reading is dead is not JUST because our lives pledge allegiance to the Almighty Dollar, but because books are so damn expensive (see above).

We find our hero Bulk fascinated by the "Home Economics" display. Bulk is no fool; he realizes that home economics is more than a subject, its an instructional guide to learning how to live in a form of shelter, be it a house, an overpriced apartment (so, an apartment), or corrugated cardboard box (see also: government housing for the poor). Skull is disappointed he couldn't find the book he wanted: Time Stops For No Mouse, a Hermux Tantamoq adventure.

Anyways, half of the PRs (including Tarzen and Jane) get sucked into a storybook where a suffocating Santa Claus is cursed to be a "grouch". Because remember what the Buddy Bears tell you: If you ever disagree then it means that you are wrong! Nothing spoils MY good day like YOUR bad day. Never let anybody know the real you, ever ever.

The highlights of this episode inclue B&S reading "Monster Making Made Easy", which is Finster's autobiography that made #1 on Oprah's list the day she recovered from the couch incident. The overall MMPR ep is right up there with "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonder" only without the comfort of the Ernest Borgnine scenes. In Narvy's extended scene, he looks like what I think would happen if Dr. Clayton Forrester & Dr. Larry Erhardt fused themselves together.

Let's note B&S's pervasive ribbing of each other. Perhaps they have been conditioned by the constant ribbing of their peers to occaisionally lash out at each other like this. However, I believe that their friendship will survive and continually prevail despite this. I mean, I did make 32 videos of them now, which is approx 320 minutes, well over FIVE HOURS??

Aisha's flippant comment about B&S not learning shows she hasn't been watching Bulk and Skull: The Inseparable Duo! Ouch, Ed Wood edited Skull to the ground. It looks like the end of the ep, until B&S return after a scene where Gennai from Digimon yells at Tarzan and Jane through a door and the PRs vandalize a book. Maybe instead of just staring at dead words on a dead tree written by opinionated jagoffs they can play some video games and stimulate their senses through critical thinking, interaction, and sociability.

The episode numbering gets tricky here because whoever uploaded the MMPR season 2 torrent was a complete retard, made some episodes not work, and someone else uploaded "lost" episodes with conflicting numbering. B&S studying the art of Finster reminds us of our wonderful experiences in art class working with clay: how students were paranoid that you'd catch anthrax or SARS (not joking) from not washing after using clay, and how creepy it is that some strange girl made a sculpture of Billy (at least it was only out of clay, and not of her victims).

Whoops, how did that Rocky clip get in there? "Rocky is Gay" is a whole other series. B&S on art: OUCH what a BURN! THen they walk off, and NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING until the credits roll. It's a weird silence. Why is Skull dressed like Jason (previous red ranger) in the last scene?

why did you get 'blacklisted' at wal-mart?

[ZaffireWolf]

@MegaAntMan1 Fuck if I know. They were fat white trailer trash. Why, are you taking the side of the corporate empire? Because I doubt the plutocracy thinks very highly of you, either.

For some reason, it says this vid is no longer available. :(

[ZaffireWolf]

Well why not? This totally blows. Typically, YouTube's help page is no help at all. I went to the help page for this error message, and all I got were radio buttons that seem to not be exclusive to just each question, and also that do NOTHING when clicked. In fact, the "Current Site Issues" page is regarded as a non-existant page so fast it sets my router on fire. I'd like to hope this will go away, but I see the message too. In the meantime, enjoy the giant Zord battle in "The Next Doctor".

It's back up. "Rocky is Gay" deserves a video series too!

Did you ever get to Zeo (Season 4)? Bulk and Skull get back at Rocky in one episode.

[ZaffireWolf]

No, I only got to when B&S started to become cops, which seemed like one of those peppy sycophantical imperialist moves designed to teach far-too-easily-influenced young children that even if you aren't the PRs that you can conform to a soulless utilitarianistic dystopia by being a productive little tool. Plus which my hard drive was filling up pretty badly, and getting over that hurdle was a DAMN sissyphean ordeal that ate up all of winter break.

I love Skull. He is so cute.

[vguyver2]

Yeah, with lines like "They Reached out and Touched me" it's hard to tell if the show didn't intend to have him gay :P

[GioGiovi3]

Bulk and Skull should work for Lord Zedd

[relimes]

That girl who likes billy, mmmmm id lick that!

[AbsoluteMennace]

in the last clip, why did no one bother to defend the girls opinion? Bulk and Skull say that Billy could never be a power ranger and then everyone just stands there quietly. They smile knowingly, but they say nothing. Jerks.

I need this theme for my ringtone:)

The whole season is available on YouTube. I fully recommend checking out the episodes "The Puppet Blaster," "Instrument of Destruction", "Brother Can You Spare an Arrowhead" and "King Mondo's Last Stand" for some great moments. Despite Lt. Stone blackmailing B&S into indentured servitude, they're still as entertaining as ever, especially in the bloopers. :)

It's workin now.
