Benny Bandicoot Pirate! Based on the credits I have seen, his name is Ben Murray. Profile from TV.com. He's been on the TV show for as long as any of the other dancers that I can recall.
thanx for the info, i'll for sure look him up. yeah, real creepy. that's why i can't get enough of him. it's his manic facial expressions that are so hilarious. for me, watching him spaz out almost makes watching the Wiggles bearable.
Good point. I can't take my eyes off that smile, however creepy it is! It's sort of entrancing, in a psychotic sort of way.
my three year old daughter has been on a Shrek kick. one of the three is always playing. and when i'm in the room she insists that i recite Shrek's lines as she plays Fiona, or Puss, or Arty. it's totally ridiculous.
i'm sorry..... but i'd like to see Lunette from Big Comfy Couch smack that little girl from Lazytown.
My daughters is oppessed with Hannah Montana. She now has a Hannah Montana poster, hat, wig, CDs, movies, and who knows what else. She asked for Hannah Montana wallpaper the other day!
My son has discovered the Disney animated movies, "The Aristocats" and "101 Dalmatians." How stupid are the cops in those movies? I'm imagining a Law & Order episode where they investigate. Let's see, there's a catnapping. Who had the motive? The old lady just met with her lawyer, and updated her will, to leave everything to the cats and then to revert to the butler when the cats die. Who had access to the house? The old lady, and the butler. Mr Butler, where were you during the hours of 10 PM to 4 AM yesterday when the cats disappeared? No alibi? Well, we're baffled. Similarly, in 101 Dalmatians, when Ms. De Vil makes public threats against the Dearly family when they refuse to sell her their Dalmatian puppies, and then those puppies mysteriously disappear a few weeks later, surely she would be suspect #1, right? Nobody bothers to go check out her country estate? (And how much puppy crap would there be from housing 99 puppies there for a few days?)
As we have resurrected this thread, one thing keeps poping into my head that I feel really bad about -- am I the only one who hopes that Handy Manny gets deported?
It is really funny that you ask this. I was interning at Blue's Clues at the time when they were making the switch from Steve to Joe -- the premise being that Steve was going off to college. The writers were joking about the same thing. How did this person get into college, when he can't perform normal daily functions without the help of preschoolers?
Steve Rules. Joe ranges from blandly acceptable to mildly annoying. But the zen center that is Steve of Blues Clues is something for which I am deeply grateful. And I'm placing this in direct polemical opposition to all things Dora. Seriously, does every freaking mundane daily muscular action merit a shrieking avalanche of positive reinforcement? "We turned the knob and opened the door! WE DID IT!! WE DID IT!!" Jesus H Criminy, dial it back a bit girlie. Here's comedian Brian Regan who has a pretty funny take on Dora at the end of this clip. Jump to the 7:45 mark. (he's generally pretty funny, imho) [youtube]ZHi4eiPAjZc[/youtube]
Agreed. Steve is much better than Joe. Dora is as annoying as hell. Each show she has three tasks where she has to go over, around and through something. It's the same effing show every single time. And that "We did it" crap is as bad as I-Spy - "Whoop, we found it" Backyardigans kick ass however.
