comedy

Yes, April Fools Day was a week ago. But no, it’s not a joke.

A quarter century ago, on Saturday morning cartoons gone far, far away…

That’s the title sequence from the short-lived Star Wars: Droids animated series on ABC. The theme song “In Trouble Again” was co-written and performed by Stewart Copeland of The Police. Anthony Daniels again provided the voice of C-3PO.

Twenty-five years later and with Star Wars: Clone Wars a certifiable success for Lucasfilm and Cartoon Network, an animated Star Wars situation comedy is now in the works. Among those involved with the project are Seth Green and Matthew Senreich: the creators and executive producers of Robot Chicken (which has a long history of lampooning the saga).

Cartoonist Paul O’Connell has created this OUTRAGEOUSLY smart mash-up of animated felt and pagan ritual: a homage to both the Muppets and the classic 1973 horror movie The Wicker Man.

If you are at work, make darned sure that the boss isn’t watching. If you have small children, make them leave the room. Because this is without a doubt one of the most disturbing, filthy, and inappropriate videos that I have ever seen in my life!

But there’s no denying it: “Weird Al” Yankovic has gone where none of us thought he would ever go before, and made a sexually titillating video that defies all standards of decency.

Have you got what it takes to see Weird Al in an act of supreme self-abasement? Have you?!?

Because if you do…
