10 Exceptionally Inappropriate Pokemon Videos

Published by Sub-Zero

I grew up watching Pokemon, but little did I know all the dirtiness that had been cut out or subliminal slipped through into each of the episodes. It took some work, but here are ten pretty WTF Pokemon videos that will have you questioning it’s classification as a kids show. Enjoy:

1) Wow, Looking Good There James

What the…? I had seen stills of this (above), but I always figured it was some sort of bizarre fetish fan art. But apparently it’s an actual scene that was banned from an episode for the most blatantly obvious of reasons.

2) Pikachu Grope

Because even little electric rats need a little love.

3) Meowth’s WTF Boss Fantasy

Now this is all in Japanese, but let me see if I understand. Meowth is getting really excited about an oiled up muscular male who runs across the desert only to end up getting humped by a thousand insect Pokemon? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

4) Ash Sneaks a Peek

Come on, you walk around with a girl all day every day and she’s wearing those shorts, you’re bound to get caught looking at least once.

5) Get Off My Lawn!

You can’t even show a gun pointed at the screen in a movie without it being rated R (true story), so I’m pretty sure you can’t do it in a kids’ show. Who knew they even had guns in Pokeworld? I thought all disputes were resolved through monster fights.

6) The Seizure Scene (WARNING, WARNING AND MORE WARNING, DON’T WATCH IF SEIZURE PRONE)

This is the scene that put 700 Japanese kids in the hospital when it first aired. It doesn’t look anything too out of the ordinary to me, but fortunately my brain appears to not be negatively affected by rapidly alternating colors.

7) Jynx Being Racist

This entire episode was banned just because Jynx looks like she’s in blackface. I’m sure the Japanese didn’t even know what blackface was, but whatever, Jynx sucks ass.

8 ) Please Stop Sabrina

Don’t know the context or the reason for the subsequent remixes, but yeah.

9) Jesse Beats the Hell Out of a Pokemon

Pokemon has always face allegations of animal abuse, but this is the first time I can remember a human actually beating the hell out of one of them. I always wondered why they didn’t do that more often, or how come the Pokemon didn’t realize they could kill all the humans with ease using all their elemental powers because only one guy on the planet owns a gun (see four above).

10) Brock Gets Frisky with a Tree

If you watch Pokemon, you know that Brock is the horniest dude alive. In this video after getting none from anyone for nearly a decade, he breaks down a molests a tree Pokemon.

Singing Spiderman Swings into a Broadway Musical

Posted by Michael Pinto

On February 2010 we’ll find out what happens when you mix up Spiderman, Bono and a Broadway musical together. The website for Spider-Man, Turn Off The Dark has gone live and come June you’ll be able to sign up for tickets for a show that promises a new take on the story of Peter Parker, whose life is turned upside down when he’s bitten by a genetically altered spider.

While I have my doubts the show is being put together by Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor who worked on The Lion King, so if anybody can pull off bringing a cartoon character to life in a fanboy friendly musical setting it’s going to be Julie. Here’s a local take from my favorite local news channel NY1:

Update: Best comment from Digg on this story: “Since when did Fanboy start re-posting articles from The Onion? This is an article from The Onion, right?”

NBC orders Jerry Seinfeld reality series

Jerry Seinfeld is reteaming with NBC to launch his first reality series.

The comedian's project is tentatively called "The Marriage Ref" and features celebrities, comedians and athletes who will judge couples in the midst of marital disputes while recommending various strategies to resolve their problems.

Seinfeld is partnering with "The Oprah Winfrey Show" veteran Ellen Rakieten on the project, which reunites the comedian with the network that aired his hit sitcom "Seinfeld" for nine years.

NBC co-chair Ben Silverman said Seinfeld pitched the show as a companion piece of sorts to his classic sitcom. The comedian increasingly has used married life for material in his stand-up act. So while being a bachelor inspired "Seinfeld," the comedian's married years will inspire his unscripted program.

"Some of the greatest comedies in the history of television have been around marriages," Silverman said. "The concept is so universal and accessible, and obviously it works so well when it comes from somebody with a point of view -- and nobody has a stronger point of view on this subject than Seinfeld."

Six one-hour episodes have been ordered for a planned fall release.

Seinfeld appeared on the network in a series of interstitial shorts two years ago to promote his DreamWorks Animation film "Bee Movie" and appeared on an episode of NBC's "30 Rock." But this deal marks the first series Seinfeld has committed to since his sitcom aired its series finale in 1998.

Seinfeld's role is behind the camera as an executive producer and creator, but given the show's celebrity-guest format, it's not too difficult to imagine an occasional on-camera appearance. Executive producer Rakieten said Seinfeld's voice will be evident in the show's commentaries.

"Every single person in a relationship can completely relate to this show," Rakieten said. "We all have the same fights, and there's a bottomless well of content."

Added Seinfeld: "This is not a therapy show, it's a comedy show. After nine years of marriage, I have discovered that the comedic potential of this subject is quite rich."

The Seinfeld news comes on the heels of NBC nearing a deal to bring the U.K. series, "I'm Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" to the U.S. as a summer weekday strip.

"We're very excited about the possibility of that show, and the commitment would be a big one for us this summer," Silverman said.
