Time Squad Talkback: "Day of the Larrys/Old Timers Squad" (Spoilers Imminent)

[candy17]

Since the Toon Zone Forums will be closed until the next day, I've decided to put up the talkback thread to the second of five new episodes of Time Squad. This week, it's "Day of the Larrys" and "Old Timers Squad".

NOTE: I don't want anyone posting anything on this thread until the forums open again (this is a note to everyone).

Bumping this thread up, so people can see it. Yay.

i wish i could have seen this episode...
but the stupid brother of mine didn't off the power on the vcr so it would record
sigh... oh well, i'll have to be there when it comes on again...

My favorite part of the "Day of the Larrys" episode was when Larry said "Yes, the real Larry," and then started laughing evily only to be smacked in the head with a mop before he could finish. lol

[Maii]

I loved "Day of the Larrys", but I thought "Old Timers Squad" was probably closer to average (but...strange). I think I'll elaborate my opinions later, when more people reply.

Plus, this comment bumps up the topic again.

*sits and waits*

Hello, I'm back. After a cold kept me out of commission yesterday, I can finally put up my review of last week's Time Squad:

Day of the Larrys: I wrote to Novdeloth one time saying that if I had a dollar for every allusion to Larry acting gay, then I'd be a rich little (expletive deleted). Well believe me when I say...YIPPIE! I'M RICH! and to further add, BLING, BLING! 11/10 (It's right up there with the one about Shakespeare making kiddie plays!)

Old Timers Squad: This was a very strange episode. I mostly laughed at the old Otto because he sounded like Bobby Hill from "King of the Hill"...if he were an old man. And I chuckled when the Old Tuddrussel couldn't remember his catch phrase. But all in all, this was a very strange episode, but Day of the Larrys may have ruined my childhood innocence forever. 9/10

It seems to me that most people missed this episode and I feel sorry for them.

All I have to say is that I hope you catch it in reruns.

Oh, the ending to that ep. was depressing...but still I laughed. As for Old Timers' Squad, I loved this line:

Otto: Hey, wait a minute! Is this as big as I get?
Old Otto: You ain't never gonna make the basketball all-stars, that's for sure!

[Maii]

*gets up*

I think I'll start now. *ahem*

--------------

Firstly, since I'm saving what I consider the best for last...

"Old Timers Squad"

This is a weird, weird, episode.

The members of Time Squad all eventually getting addicted to a soap opera is pretty funny, not to meantion that the soap opera in question really did sound like a stereotypical one.

Okay, how many of you laughed when you saw the future Larry with a beard? Be honest! And he can urinate for some reason too... Creepy.

Future Tuddrussel is just a plain forgetful old man. Nothing too special, except that he can't remember his own catch phrase.

Otto's future self was a riot! He reminds me of my grandfather, what with all the silly grandfatherly jokes. It's kinda sad that Otto will never grow taller than he already is. Of course, maybe he did grow a little, only to shrink in old age.

Samuel Morse's voice sounds familiar, like the voice actor tried to imitate someone famous. Any ideas, or am I just crazy and starting to hear things?

After watching it over again, I've changed my mind about it being average. Maybe a 7 1/2 out of 10.

Oh gads...I think I had my mouth gapeing open from the time Otto opened the door to find the multiple Larrys, to the end of the episode. That was...whoa...

But let's start at the beginning.

Okay, you've really got to feel for Larry in this one. If I had lived with two people that could turn an entire room into that much of a mess in only a few seconds...I would have gone postal a looong time ago.

Does anyone know what that little doodle next to Larry's head in his picture is? I know what the writing says, but I don't know about that other thing.

The look on Tuddrussel's face when he saw all those Larrys was pure gold! He looked so lost and frightened... Then he vomited. Poor guy.

Okay. The disco. Am I the only one reminded of that episode of the Simpsons with the steelworkers? Probably.

The Larry dressed up as a cowboy. I don't think I'll even go there. All I expected was Tuddrussel to take the guns away from him and the Larry-clone to walk away dejectedly, but noooooooo! Don't get me wrong, I liked that part, but I just didn't see it coming.

I know I said I don't believe in spoilers, but...

WARNING! Spoilers for a future episode! (kind of)

Spoiler:

(As a side note, there's even more daring stuff coming up. Just wait until you see "Ex Marks the Spot". You probably expected some innuendo in this one, but so did I...and I was surprised, even after seeing the stuff in this episode. You know that family dynamic? I think I'll leave it at that.)

Ahh. The ending. That was one hilariously evil laugh! *chuckles* Who wants to bet that the clone Larry frantically went to try and find the real one after finding out he was assigned more chores?

This one definately deserves a 10 out of 10.

Man that was long! I hope I didn't bore any of you to death.

"Old Timers Squad"
This is a weird, weird, episode.

That's for sure. This made "Planet of the Flies" look normal.

Okay, how many of you laughed when you saw the future Larry with a beard? Be honest!

Okay, I did (even if it was weird and out of place), but for the most part there was a lump in my throat from seeing the future Tuddrussel as a pathetic old man. Since I can let out my feelings in the Toon Zone Forums, I'd like to share my emotions about this in a healthy, mature manner:

No! Not Tuddrussel! Not my sexy studmuffin! *sobs* Couldn't he just have some muscles in old age? *sniveling*

*sigh* That felt good. Next!

Otto's future self was a riot! He reminds me of my grandfather, what with all the silly grandfatherly jokes. It's kinda sad that Otto will never grow taller than he already is. Of course, maybe he did grow a little, only to shrink in old age.

Oh, yeah, that was funny. Does anyone else notice that 1) the old Otto's voice sounded like an elderly Bobby Hill from "King of the Hill" and 2) shouldn't Otto be frightened about that he's going to turn out like that?

The first part with the soap opera hit really close to home for me since my sister Angel and mother are soap opera fans. The story was a little weak, but ain all, this was a bizarre episode that could kick "Planet of the Flies"'s butt any day of the week. 8.5/10

"Day of the Larrys"

I think I had my mouth gaping open from the time Otto opened the door to find the multiple Larrys, to the end of the episode.

My mouth was gaping open on the disco sequence. The CN censors must have been high or really, really stupid, because if Time Squad were on any other channel, that part would have been deleted...or worse: The entire episode would have never gotten past the storyboard (I'm not supporting censorship, BTW. I'm just surprised that CN could air a sequence that has more of a home on Adult Swim outside of AS).

Okay, you've really got to feel for Larry in this one. If I had lived with two people that could turn an entire room into that much of a mess in only a few seconds...I would have gone postal a looong time ago.

I feel for Larry on every episode. That first part is no different.

The look on Tuddrussel's face when he saw all those Larrys was pure gold!

Gold's too cheap. How 'bout silver?

He looked so lost and frightened...Then he vomited. Poor guy.

Oh, man. Even if Tuddrussel does treat Larry like scrap metal, I almost felt sorry for him on that part. Notice how I said almost.

The disco. Am I the only one reminded of that episode of the Simpsons with the steelworkers?

Not anymore, you're not. Did you happen to notice that the club was called Studio 3K (which is a play on the infamous nightclub of the 1970's Studio 54)? To top it off, the bouncer that told the real Larry to shove off was wearing a cap with the letters NY on them and didn't have that high, gay Joker from "Batman: TAS" voice.

You want my advice, Maii: Just be thankful the disco wasn't a strip club.

Oh, wait scratch that...

The Larry dressed up as a cowboy. I don't think I'll even go there.

How'd... I...Wha...(*clears throat, blows into pitch whistle, tries to scream*): AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew! That felt good. Just when you thought Time Squad could not get any more demented than it already is...I mean, what brought that on?
Anyway, my sister loves this part, much to my chagrin. If I ever told her that...

Spoiler:

Usually saucy women and gay men do what that Larry clone did.

...she would have had me institutionalized...or she would have disagreed with me. It's moments like this that make me wonder why...

All I expected was Tuddrussel to take the guns away from him and the Larry-clone to walk away dejectedly, but noooooooo!

Hey, you're not alone. I expected that too, but if that were chosen, it would have been too predictable...

Anyway, here's something to think about this part:

Spoiler:

I don't know which was scarier: The Larry clone eyeing Tuddrussel suggestively or Tuddrussel's disgusted reaction.

Don't get me wrong, I liked that part, but I just didn't see it coming.

I don't think anyone saw that coming.

The ending. That was one hilariously evil laugh! *chuckles*

Yeah. Flashback to the Joker.

Who wants to bet that the clone Larry frantically went to try and find the real one after finding out he was assigned more chores?

Before or after he cried? And that iris-out reminded me of how the old WB cartoons ended (because TS would usually end with a fade to black).

Like I said before, I'm giving this one an 11/10.

[Novdeloth]

AAGGH! Green everywhere!

It's been a few days since I've been here... but seriously, CookieS, it looks good (I love the new title graphic. Thundercat, ho!).

Anyway, I was among the few who missed this one, and I'll just say this: if CN cuts any scenes from "Day of the Larrys"... well, no threat's going to do any good.

So please, please, please, CN, leave everything intact for the next airing! I must see the billyuns and billyuns of Larrys at the disco!

(Okay, maybe there aren't that many Larrys, but I just wanted to say "billyuns and billyuns of Larrys".)

CN has not cut anything out of any rerun of "Time Squad" (I know because when I started to watch the series, the episodes I taped were reruns aired at ungodly hours like 1:00 am or 6:00 in the afternoon), so I seriously doubt they'll edit out that sequence.

Sorry to bring up this post but I came here to tell you "Don't despair. On May 23rd at 11:30 at night, you'll be able to see it." That goes for anyone else who missed it.
