I didn't say I Robot is forgettable. I just had no desire to watch it.




Whose car did Mel Blanc voice?

I'd say Speed Buggy, but I don't think Blanc ever worked for Hanna Barbara.

Ever meet somebody and be reminded of Eddie Haskell? If so, what would that imply?

Yes. To me, it implies that they are an insufferable kiss-up.

(Paraphrased) "My one chance at an Oscar and you blow it for me." Who?

What's the Big W?


You got me on these last two, although, I'm tempted to say "You really REALLY like me!" on the Oscar one, just because I love to reference that.

Others that recently came up:

The Doberman Gang
Clyde The Orangutan

That was a response to this:

"Can you come up with a question where, "The Will Smith version" is an accurate response to a question? "

Which I Robot is forgettable? The Will Smith version.

Trust me, that's an accurate statement. I watched it, enjoyed it as fluff, recall almost nothing about it now.


These two stump me.

You got Eddie Haskell right (although I'd add that you also have to be a devious jerk, who's kissing up to cover that fact).

I'll lave the other 3 for people to guess at.

I get it now. I laughed audibly. You and 'Mute are making my otherwise rotten day enjoyable.


I'm thinking you were talking about Penelope Pitstop. (THAT's a porn name waiting to happen.) But it turns out that Mel Blanc WAS Speed Buggy and he DID do a bunch of HB stuff.

He and Tex Avery get all manner of respect from me. Geniuses.

Speed Buggy is *nobody's* car! He is his own being!

OK, got me on a technicality, but I was referring to something far older than Speed Buggy or Penelope Pitstop. And not animation.

Herbie didn't have a voice that I remember.

Neither did Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.






Haven and Ignatz are two of only a few HCRealms posters capable of separately managing three conversations with each other.

Win.

Indeed.

Hint-- not animation, and not film/tv either.

Think about THAT.

PS: I seem to know a ridiculous amount of trivia about pop culture that's older than I am.

That's funny, I recently added the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang song to my playlist...mainly to annoy my wife (because I'm fun like that).

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the ultimate Bond car.

I concur. And I try to stump people with that piece of trivia from time to time.

I'm guessing the minimum age is grater than 28, cause I hav eno idea who the heck that is.
I do recognize Nancy Kerrigan, Mr. T, The Lone Ranger, and Buckwheat, though. And all I know about Lenny Bruce is that it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane, and he's not afraid.
I was actually watching Men In Black 3 only about an hour ago, and thinking how much I enjoyed those movies.

I think "the Will Smith version" is an accurate answer to a lot of questions.

Mel Blanc was the voice of Speed Buggy, but I guess it has something to do with Jack Benny, they were friends and Blanc worked on Benny's old radio show.

Some of the Benny stuff is funny. I remember listening to some of it on cassette riding in the truck with my grand parents in the early 80's.

They were also fond of Jerry Clower etc...

Yep, Mel Blanc was the sound of Maxwell, Jack Benny's famously broken-down jalopy, on the radio.

Since nobody asked:

That's Bob Hope at the end of one (or more) of the Road movies, overacting, being called on it by Bing, and then replying like that.

Under the Big W (palm trees in a W arrangement) is where the cash is in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World."

That last one was really vague.

Your arms probably look better than hers.

I would like to see someone yank you off stage by your cape.
