@Taweret the “Where’s Herb” Butger King contest commercial where Herb will give you a million dollars if you point him out at Burger King
You get a 99 cent Whopper if you tell the cashier “I’m not Herb”
Q: What do you say if your name is Herb?
A: I’m not the Herb you’re looking for@Taweret
[giancarlo esposito straightening tie dot jpeg]Your first memory of Jason Alexander is as the creepy guy from Pretty Woman
My first memory of Jason Alexander is him singing and dancing about the McDLT
We are not the same

@Taweret I watched maybe one episode of Zoobilee Zoo (sp?) when we were staying at a resort (we didn't have a TV at home until later) and all I remember is that the costumes were Really Something. Like if you tried to recreate Thundercats in live action but also with birds and rodents and so on.
@liferstate @Taweret What if Starlight Express but Bronx Zoo

@Taweret
Oh god nobody has mentioned this one and it's a fucking doozyA show where the protagonist would go into a laser tag arena and shoot a pillar and then be transported to space to fight to save the galaxy.
No, really.
Even at the time it felt goddamn surreal.
@Oggie @Taweret I thought for a second this was about Captain Power, a completely different gun-toy-themed show where you were supposed to use the gun to shoot the bad guys in the show. Don't know how it was supposed to work. Anyway, that was apparently a career stepping stone for J. Michael Straczynski

@Taweret Spellbinder was something I thought I had hallucinated until I randomly saw a fanart of one of the characters a couple years ago. Turns out it is all on youtube (legitimately) for free now, too.

@Taweret My mother was a teacher and would wake me up early to get ready. This was the only show that played early and was meant for kids.

@Taweret Some PBS-shown educational show (I think about math) where there were a couple young folks in a space station. There were computers with tape drives. This was 79-80, so skylab-era.
I only remember seeing episodes once or twice -- at least once was actually in class -- and I have never been able to track down what it was.
I assume it was some obscure AIT thing I'm misremembering, but I have no idea.
@Unlikelylass @Taweret ohh that sounds like a sibling show to "Read All About It", which as best I can recall was about kids whose dad was missing and they find a key to his office which contains an interdimensional typewriter or some such, and there's a bad guy out to get them (maybe the same show? I don't remember a space station but we only watched it in school and I don't think we saw the whole thing)
the dad of one of my classmates looked just like the evil interdimensional bad guy and that was messed up

@Taweret The ultimate answer, though, is that we all lay dying of carbon monoxide poisoning and hallucinated “Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue” and we are now in Hell

@Taweret ok here's an obscure one that only Chicago kids (and maybe some Canadian kids) will know:
Gigglesnort Hotel.
-
there was a Saturday morning cartoon about animals that - wait for it - wore shirts
I don't remember what they did but the intro says you call them when you're in a jam so I guess they help people with stuff
@Taweret I think I've only ever seen one episode (the Olympics one). They didn't air the show where I lived, but occasionally I could pick it up over the air from a station in West Virginia. And it was always the same episode.

@Unlikelylass @Taweret I know I didn't hallucinate it because my entire class was traumatized by it: there was a PBS show called "All About You" and in one episode the host demonstrated how digestion works by putting a hamburger and a milkshake into a blender

@Taweret that was a hellish couple of years for kids cartoons that were not dungeons and dragons, I think that was the year of the kid who melted and turned into a car

@Taweret Jabberwocky! it's pretty easy to see why it might seem like a hallucination (trippy opening credits after the short baseball sequence) https://youtu.be/VkOkw31XaHY?si=ilY4oJRwVcfTcHN2 thanks to YouTube I can now see those credits again but for 20 years I sort of thought I may have made them up.

@Taweret OK, so I don't remember the name, but does anyone else remember an acid trip space cartoon where, in one episode they were in a spaceship battling a giant cat on a tricycle shooting laser beams from its eyes?
Even one of the characters mentioned it was crazy.

@Taweret the only one that comes to mind is Thundarr the Barbarian which seemed pretty dark for a Saturday morning cartoon
https://youtu.be/A_4HBH6Z-Iw@otterlove @Taweret both Jack Kirby and Alex Toth worked on that, which is why it was amazing!
I wanted to be Princess Ariel but you didn’t disclose that as a “boy” in the ‘70s
