Can we possibly get any MORE obscure here? No? Great.

Probably.

I'm boring. I favor them in sequential order. Charles S. Dutton is a neat guy.

TSN: "Surely someone else here has seen Spaceballs?"

No, see what I meant was that when "Spaceballs" came to Sweden, I was about the only one who appreciated the nod to Michigan J. Frog in that scene, everyone else just went "what the hell?".

Up until the late 80's, Looney Tunes were rather obscure up here, we had mostly Disney, Hanna-Barbera and Universal (Woody Woodpecker) to turn to.
They had "Looney Tunes" almost exclusively on video rental when I grew up, which we of course rented aplenty over the years...

Fuck the frog: I laughed so hard when I first saw Spaceballs that I missed the rest of the movie and I never saw the cartoon it refrenced untill years later.
It's just such an absurdly funny scene that the refrence isint needed at all.

Y'know, I've always wondered, where did they get the name "Michigan J. Frog"? It was never in the original cartoon. Was it some obscure behind-the-scenes thing from back then, or did they just invent it on a whim in the '90s?

No, no, no. Chuckie named him after "The Michigan Rag", a song written for the cartoon in '55. This is still popular culture, albeit ever-so-slightly less so. B)

Yeah, he also named "Marvin the Martian" which never appeared in any of the cartoons.

Maybe they would have named the Alien "Allie McBeal" after all.....they have about the same figure.

There's a bit of an echo in here, isn't there?
