Foreign Poster Atrocities #9

You know, what with all the good in the world, you have to expect the bad. But this edition of Foreign Poster Atrocities may just well be the worst.

Don't blame me, or co-host Jeff; we're just the messengers. It's not our fault what we have to work with here.

Just lay back and let it sink in. You'll see what we mean.

TGWD - Sshh...don't tell anyone we have small hands.

JEFF - They're not DJs; they're radio announcers.

TGWD - Huh?

TGWD - Oh, I get it.

JEFF - Wee paws for station identification.

TGWD - Errgh.

JEFF - I think it was a bold choice to show that only Kid has ears.

TGWD - They're Kid N' 'Eh?

JEFF - "Gimmie a beat!"

JEFF - "What?"

JEFF - "I said, 'Gimmie a BEAT'!"

JEFF - "What??"

JEFF - "Oh, forget it...."

JEFF - "WHAT?!"

TGWD - Talk about being def....

TGWD - And why is Kid a drum major?

JEFF - I thought he was a Beefeater.

TGWD - And look at how nice and smooth and shiny his hat is; must have just had it cleaned and blocked.

JEFF - And Play is apparently a bellboy...maybe a matador.

TGWD - But this is GIGANTIC Kid N' Play, towering over the neighborhood, trying to impress the ladies who are, despite their comparative diminutiveness, still bigger than the houses in their neighborhood.

JEFF - That's "hood". Just "hood".

TGWD - Oh yeah.

TGWD - I'm usually down with that.

JEFF - Yes. Word.

TGWD - And what's with the yellow both woman are wearing; was that a big color statement in the late Eighties/early Nineties?

JEFF - It almost would have had to have been; since I think pastels were finally on the way out, so they resorted to primary colors.

JEFF - No matter what color is in vogue at any given decade, everyone always comes crawling back to blue, red and/or yellow.

TGWD - Like in the poster: blue house, yellow ladies, red sky.

TGWD - Must be at night.

JEFF - Does that make Kid N' Play sailors?

TGWD - No; they don't look all that delighted.

JEFF - And it looks more like Kid is holding his own mouth in horror at the thought that the poster artist was really going to go all wiggity-wiggity-wack on him and his posse with his def paintbrush skills.

TGWD - Stop that.

JEFF - Sorry; just got caught up in the ghetto vibe.

TGWD - But there's really no ghetto vibe in this picture. With the coloring, or discoloring in this case, the main idea is they're all turning Japanese.

TGWD - I really think so.

JEFF - Doesn't Bombay Video understand what kind of movie this is?

TGWD - To be honest, looking at this picture, I don't understand what kind of movie it is myself.

JEFF - Think of the poor rube going into House Party expecting GIGANTIC Asian Kid N' Play terrorizing a defenseless neighborhood of yellow-clad Amazons.

JEFF - And their one blue house.

TGWD - Which they can't even fit inside.

JEFF - Wouldn't matter anyway - no door.

TGWD - At least they got the color of the lawn right.

JEFF - I'm going out on a limb here.

TGWD - Go for it.

JEFF - I think the artist painted this picture without looking at it.

TGWD - At least they did Martin Lawrence the favor of leaving him out.

JEFF - They probably would have painted him without ears.

JEFF - And tiny hands.

JEFF - Wearing yellow.

JEFF - Smaller than the Amazons.

TGWD - And he'd STILL be the funniest thing in it.

JEFF - Word.

JEFF - Proper noun.

TGWD - Stop it.

See what I mean? The worst ever.

At least until next time.

Dope (and Jeff) out.
