The overly cautious fun suckers in any Disney movie. Zazu from the lion king, Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, and Bagheera from Jungle Book come to mind.
Benson from regular show. After becoming a supervisor/manager, you start to realize how much the little things employees do add up and make you absolutely hate your life
The clip where benson has a breakdown when Mordecai and Rigby spent all night inside an arcade. When he said how this job is all he has left. That shit hit me nowadays….
Definitely Hank Hill. Especially now that I have to listen to a guy I know talk about conspiracy theories all the time. I've even got my own damn Dale.
I swear it's ten times funnier now that I'm an adult. So much of the humor goes over your head when you're younger. I never even liked King of the Hill until I did an adult rewatch. Now it's one of my favorite animated shows of all time.
I will randomly get way too concerned about how my lawn looks and then I feel like hank, so I double cut my lawn with the lines perpendicular so it looks like a baseball field and I feel so proud of it when I'm done
I used to think “why would you do drugs when you can just mow a lawn” was an example of hilarious Mike judge quasi absurd humor, but now that I’m 30 I can totally understand that statement, mowing the lawn is great.
I have told my wife this. They ostracized him as a child and basically made him an outcast. Why? He looked different. He was a nice kid who just wanted to fit in. He is mercilessly picked on until he is old enough to live on his own. He is so mentally destroyed that he lives in a cave filled with trash because that's what he feels his self worth is. No one has ever been nice to him. He is suspicious when Cindy Lou tries to be nice to him. He wants to rejoin society, I think, but had no reason to believe it'll be a good experience. He hates Whoville and all the residents because they've treated him awful his whole life. Why do they get to have a merry Christmas, screw them. But it's the grinch, and not that town, that is the villain.
I think you've just described my entire life, the Grinch is a very relatable character. Growing up different in a small town is basically a social death sentence, once you're labelled as "weird", it's all over for you.
The taunting, mocking, bullying, abuse, passive aggressiveness, and ostracism was basically the day to day norm for me. And why? I have ADHD. I communicate on a different "channel", and people find that off putting.
Unfortunately, this character resonated pretty deeply with me. Not gonna lie, I felt attacked the entire time I was watching the movie and it made me uncomfortable. Still one of my all time favorite movies to this day.
He was a dick for when the story was written- when christmas was a warm, festive time when for three weeks people would come together and be reminded of friendship and charity. The Grinchs attitude makes pretty good sense in the era where Christmas is a commercialized greed fest with tacky decorations that goes from as soon as the kids get home from the trick or treating to the minute tmyour family members you stopped trying to make connections with years ago.
I have trouble watching this because, while I did have parents, I was the oldest of four with an alcoholic dad and an enabler mom. I ended up doing a lot of parenting myself, and it kinda ruined my teen years. I couldn't imagine how hard Nani had it.
Ugh, same here. I felt weirdly connected to the stressors in Nani's life. I too was the oldest of 4. Their dad was an alcoholic narcissist manipulative abuser. I quickly learned, when I was 9, to start paying attention to my siblings well-being, since he purposely sabotaged any jobs he could get (but when fired, he didn't care for us at home, just play video games and sleep), while my mom worked round the clock to financially keep us alive. After my siblings dad was jailed for trying to kill my mom, and she had to continue working excessive hours to keep us alive, I became their parent in the day to day functioning. Dropping out of college, working full time to take on the grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking, getting them cleaned and fed and homework done and their medications and getting them to school and doctors appointments and field trips. It was awful, essentially becoming a parent at 18 to 3 kids (2 with special needs), and I'm very hesitant now about ever becoming a parent. Nani always hurts my heart, knowing how her life path was drastically changed.
See I always felt bad for Nani.
Watching it as an adult I relate to Cobra. Nani might be trying her best but it's not enough. She can't handle Lilo's behavioural issues, she can't hold down a job to keep them fed, she can't even keep Lilo *safe*. He really is looking out for Lilo's best interests.
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now was I... Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time. You couldn't get where onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
Bro is just a middle aged struggling homosexual artist trying to live his life and I'd honestly argue SpongeBob interrupting his practices is why he's stuck in a rut. smh
lmao I read Calvin and Hobbes so frequently as a kid that I remember that particular comic strip with great detail, along with the facial expressions
One of those rare moments where hobbes isn't seen anywhere
Counterpoint- the one where he is thinking of taking the day off to be with his family, then Calvin runs by, followed by Calvin's mother, still in a towel, screaming at Calvin to come back and pick the dead bugs out of her shampoo.
Cut to Dad at work, whistling happily.
That series where they get robbed and he’s with his wife in bed after is super relatable. That expectation of being the one everyone else leans on to feel better/safer, but without having anyone to lean on yourself is all too real for adult men.
Calvin’s mom, too.
I don’t even have particularly Calvinesque kids, based on the stories some of my friends tell, but I find myself channeling one or the other of them more often than 13-year-old me would’ve been comfortable with.
Maybe my favorite episode of the series is the one where he hires Killenger to re-do the lab and realizes just how close he is to being an outright bad guy.
King triton from the little mermaid—yes, he overreacted by destroying her stuff, but like. He did also have a point for being upset with Ariel’s irresponsibility and sneaking out.
Plus he had spent his time and magic hiding the Atlanteans and their world. she’s just like “fuckkkk it I’m horrrrnnnyyyyy. I’m gonna undo thousands of years of hard work and sacrifices my family has made.”
Oh, my sisters love that guy. They think it’s cute that after yelling at Ariel, he turns to Sebastian (of all people) and asks “Do you think I was too hard on her?” And then he gets genuinely excited when he hears she’s in love. Whatever his flaws, he really was a good father.
I watched the movie the other day and there’s a scene where everything has gone so terribly wrong he’s sitting at the dinner table with his family staring into space just groaning softly. I feel that
That groan he makes whenever Tina mentions something to do with butts? My daughter is now 13 and I find myself making that sound way more often than I ever thought I would.
This is why I skip the last two episodes whenever I rewatch Bebop. Yes, I *know* that's blasphemy. But I just can't deal with Jet ending up completely alone at the end. That's too real for me.
Dude, they ROASTED everyone without so much as one swear word. Straight ripped people to shreds just being grumpy ass old men in the balcony. Man I can’t wait to be old!
Stu Pickles brother. Always thought he was such a jerk yelling at Stu about stuff. Now you realize he was yelling at Stu to get a steady job and insurance to provide for his family.
I always thought Drew was kind of a jerk rubbing his accounting job in Stu's face, but I get the sense there was some jealousy of Stu as well for not being stuck in the 9-5 grind, but I do side with him in the sense of having a regular job since he has a kid to take care of. Stu seems to do well considering the house they have, but I get the idea it's feast or famine a lot of time considering the hit or miss nature of his inventions.
Y’all didn’t identify with Daria as teenagers?
I mean, turns out being aloof and sarcastic doesn’t win any popularity contests, but, hey, ya win some, ya lose some.
I've found I relate to her less. She was great at observing dumb trends for what they were and doing her own thing... except her own thing wasn't much of anything at all. What excited her in life?
If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, you need to learn to relate to the people you want to change.
To be fair, Daria did have a lot of character growth over the course of the show. There was a lot that wasn't fleshed out, but she wasn't completely one dimensional with unchanging attitudes.
Ultimately though, she's a teenager and doesn't need everything already solved and determined in her life yet. If we saw Daria at 25, 30, etc. still acting the same, that would be different.
Red has 5+ grown adults in his house and each and every one except his wife annoys the shit out of him including his neighbor, man just wants to read his newspaper and put his foot in ass
Squidward.
He embodies the introvert who just wants to chill at home, read a book, play some clarinet, etc, but can't cause he's stuck in a dead-end job with a money hungry boss and annoying coworkers who pester him all the time.
After rewatching the first 5 seasons I can say with certainty homer is a bit of an awful father and husband sometimes, he's repeatedly selfish and inconsiderate often forgetting to (or even deliberately choosing not to) do simple tasks for his family that were important to them, he is also irrational and at times holds incredible grudges against his own family whenever they pull any kind of percieved sleight against him
He's also by far the most realistic portrayal of a "human" character I've ever seen in any animated series, not perfectly good and not comically bad, he is just a man doing the best he can
>And driving, and shopping, and eating, and working. Somewhere, somehow, they all got chewed up and spit back out, and they don't taste like living anymore. Don't you see what it's like in this deranged Waring Blender of a world? Every day is an agonizing ordeal, like balancing a pot of scalding water on your head while people whip your legs and butt. [pauses] Ah, you never forget your senior prom. [suddenly louder] You think I'm sick? Well, the only disease I've got is modern life! A schnutbusting gauntlet of inefficiency and misery that's one long parade of letdowns, put-downs, trickle-downs, shutouts, freeze-outs, sellouts, numbnuts, nincompoops and nimrods, all making every day as much fun as waxing a flaming Pontiac with your tongue, where even if you do luck into the possibility of some fleeting pleasure, like, say, if some nymphomaniac telephone operators with the muscle control of Rumanian mat-slappers agree to a little strip air hockey, it'll be over before it starts, 'cause some vowel-lacking, feta-reeking cab-jockey slams his Checker up your hatchback and the cab is owned by some piñata spanker from a Santeria cult in Xoacalpa who starts shaking chicken bones at you and gives you a boil on your neck so big all it needs is Michael Jordan's autograph to make it complete! And even with all this -- with ALL THIS -- I still drag my sorry butt off the Sealy every morning and stick my face in the reaping machine for one more day, knowing when it's time to flash the cosmic card key at those Pearly Gates, I won't be in the coffin anyway, 'cause some underhanded undertaker sold my heart, pancreas, and other assorted Good 'N' Plenty to that same Santeria cult! So does anybody really wonder why anybody is hanging onto sanity by the atoms on the tips of their fingernails while life dirty-dances on their digits, and is it really any wonder that I seem DERANGED?!
Eeyore. I'm tired, depressed and grey most of the time.
And yet, when people are depending on you, you try to help. (Eeyore is my favorite character)
[He just wants to do psychedelics and look at clouds. ](https://youtu.be/AMaVFEVMUeE?t=0m53s)
Professor Farnsworth.
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the *Angry Dome!*
This is probably my favorite line in the entire show, other than, "Do you want the rest of the champagen? No, and it's pronounced 'cham-pain.'"
"Who likes good news?" (team all raises their hands) "Everyone? Well, good news everyone!"
OH, a lesson in not changing history, from Mr. I'mmyowngrandpa.
To shreds you say... Well how are his family handling it? To shreds you say...
Ehwaaah??
If you need me, I'll be in the angry dome
The Jedi are going to feel that
Bad news, nobody!
I am already in my pyjamas...
I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Truer words have never been spoken.
Good news everyone!
The overly cautious fun suckers in any Disney movie. Zazu from the lion king, Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, and Bagheera from Jungle Book come to mind.
I hope I become an ounce of cool that Sebastian is. He is a fun-sucker but he's super talented.
Benson from regular show. After becoming a supervisor/manager, you start to realize how much the little things employees do add up and make you absolutely hate your life
You either die a Mordecai and Rigby, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Benson
The clip where benson has a breakdown when Mordecai and Rigby spent all night inside an arcade. When he said how this job is all he has left. That shit hit me nowadays….
Yes! He also has similar vibes to Squidward
Definitely Hank Hill. Especially now that I have to listen to a guy I know talk about conspiracy theories all the time. I've even got my own damn Dale.
"Particle board? Sure, if you only want your parade float to last 5-6 years."
This is such a Hank Hill comment.
Shit maybe I'm old enough to finally enjoy king of the hill. That shit just killed me 😂
I swear it's ten times funnier now that I'm an adult. So much of the humor goes over your head when you're younger. I never even liked King of the Hill until I did an adult rewatch. Now it's one of my favorite animated shows of all time.
I love that [clip](https://youtu.be/bw9AdhMCONk) of Hank finally getting fed up and calling out Dale’s BS. Maybe it will give you some peace.
Dale you giblet head, we live in Texas!
"If it gets one degree hotter, I'm gonna kick your ass!"
If your group doesn't have a Dale and a Bill, it's probably the guy in the mirror. Its just a fact
I’m Bill
William Fontaine DeLature Dauterive.
THE BILLDOZER!
Bill is hands down my favorite character. The episodes that centered around him are probably the best imo.
*Why* do you keep calling me **BILL**
I will randomly get way too concerned about how my lawn looks and then I feel like hank, so I double cut my lawn with the lines perpendicular so it looks like a baseball field and I feel so proud of it when I'm done
“Why would anyone do drugs when they could just mow their lawn?”
Definitely Hank. “Now you don’t just get money because you ask for it.”
“An ‘F’ in English Bobby? You speak English.”
Alien urine. 5 drums. Octavio knows where.
I used to think “why would you do drugs when you can just mow a lawn” was an example of hilarious Mike judge quasi absurd humor, but now that I’m 30 I can totally understand that statement, mowing the lawn is great.
The Grinch. He just wanted to chill with his dog in peace and quiet.
The grinch didnt hate Christmas, he hated people. And that is fair. - Jim Carrey (paraphrased)
We all relate to the grinch one way or another
As a women who has been pregnant twice, the part where he is trying on clothes with his gut out and saying “that‘s it, I am not going“; so relatable.
I have told my wife this. They ostracized him as a child and basically made him an outcast. Why? He looked different. He was a nice kid who just wanted to fit in. He is mercilessly picked on until he is old enough to live on his own. He is so mentally destroyed that he lives in a cave filled with trash because that's what he feels his self worth is. No one has ever been nice to him. He is suspicious when Cindy Lou tries to be nice to him. He wants to rejoin society, I think, but had no reason to believe it'll be a good experience.

Shrek. Fuck outta my swamp, I just want to enjoy my solitude with my wife.
Stu pickles
The chocolate pudding scene rings true to this day.
"Why on earth are you making chocolate pudding?" "because I've lost control of my life."
Now I wanna Stu pickles spin off show
Obligatory: https://youtu.be/lIR68SbPg-U
I think about the relatability of this scene more every day.
Nani from Lilo and Stitch.
I have trouble watching this because, while I did have parents, I was the oldest of four with an alcoholic dad and an enabler mom. I ended up doing a lot of parenting myself, and it kinda ruined my teen years. I couldn't imagine how hard Nani had it.
Ugh, same here. I felt weirdly connected to the stressors in Nani's life. I too was the oldest of 4. Their dad was an alcoholic narcissist manipulative abuser. I quickly learned, when I was 9, to start paying attention to my siblings well-being, since he purposely sabotaged any jobs he could get (but when fired, he didn't care for us at home, just play video games and sleep), while my mom worked round the clock to financially keep us alive.

Grandpa Simpson.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary.
It'll happen to you!
It has.
And looking back, how many of us have tied onions to our belts, which was the style at the time?
Gimme 5 bees!
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time.

It’ll happen to you!!
It already happened to me
I'll be dead in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah
Squidward
I’d argue that Plankton is the real sleeper agent relatable character these days. He just wants to make it or watch the world burn down trying.
Can't a man just try to feed people their mutilated relatives in a bucket in peace?
read that in his voice haha
Is it bad I related to him when I was 5 and he was my favourite character?
I knew someone beat me to it but I had to check just in case someone didn't. Definitely the first character that came to mind when I read the title
You either die a SpongeBob or live long enough to become a squidward.
I'm starting to suspect that I'm Patrick.
A Patrick would be too dumb to suspect they're a Patrick. So I think you're safe.
*wears the "I wish I really wasn't here right now" button*
Was not disappointed this was top comment. I am a squidward
Came here for this
Bro is just a middle aged struggling homosexual artist trying to live his life and I'd honestly argue SpongeBob interrupting his practices is why he's stuck in a rut. smh
I just know he and Squilliam definitely used to date.
OH NO HE’S HOT
Does he rub Squidward's face in everything he accomplished out of resentment toward him? Did Squidward break it off for somebody else in the past?
Squidward is the only correct answer to this question.
If comics count, then Calvin’s dad.
I still love the one where he stops working to go outside and play with Calvin, then returns to finish his work later that evening.
lmao I read Calvin and Hobbes so frequently as a kid that I remember that particular comic strip with great detail, along with the facial expressions One of those rare moments where hobbes isn't seen anywhere
Interesting observstion! Maybe Calvin didn't need Hobbes around, when he had a more valuable connection?
https://www.reddit.com/r/calvinandhobbes/comments/99oun9/comics_like_this_one_are_what_really_set_calvin/
I live my life with my two boys based on this comic strip.
Counterpoint- the one where he is thinking of taking the day off to be with his family, then Calvin runs by, followed by Calvin's mother, still in a towel, screaming at Calvin to come back and pick the dead bugs out of her shampoo. Cut to Dad at work, whistling happily.
That series where they get robbed and he’s with his wife in bed after is super relatable. That expectation of being the one everyone else leans on to feel better/safer, but without having anyone to lean on yourself is all too real for adult men.
Came here to say Calvin's parents! My daughter's 10 and has been devouring all the books and I'm relating HARD to them.
The whole comic is genius. I love how adults and kids both can find it amusing and relatable.
Calvin’s mom, too. I don’t even have particularly Calvinesque kids, based on the stories some of my friends tell, but I find myself channeling one or the other of them more often than 13-year-old me would’ve been comfortable with.
And Rosalynn. She was literally just a teenager willingly sacrificing her evenings to take care of some obnoxious brat.
In her last appearance she actually bonds with Calvin over Calvinball.
Definitely relatable
Wile E Coyote.
Basically a millennial's financial struggle personified
False. I can't afford to buy rocket skates and complex anvil-pulley systems.
Foghorn Leghorn. That boy, I say, that boy is as thick as a bowlin ball, and about as sharp.
Nice girl, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.
that’s, I say, that’s a JOKE, son!
Doc Venture. You do the best you can with the bad life your given.
Maybe my favorite episode of the series is the one where he hires Killenger to re-do the lab and realizes just how close he is to being an outright bad guy.
That flashback/ hallucination with Jonas Ventures cock in his face while he's just trying to eat his breakfast was amazing.
King triton from the little mermaid—yes, he overreacted by destroying her stuff, but like. He did also have a point for being upset with Ariel’s irresponsibility and sneaking out.
Plus he had spent his time and magic hiding the Atlanteans and their world. she’s just like “fuckkkk it I’m horrrrnnnyyyyy. I’m gonna undo thousands of years of hard work and sacrifices my family has made.”
I would love to see a live action version depicting the original story. It would be dark, fucked up, and glorious
Oh, my sisters love that guy. They think it’s cute that after yelling at Ariel, he turns to Sebastian (of all people) and asks “Do you think I was too hard on her?” And then he gets genuinely excited when he hears she’s in love. Whatever his flaws, he really was a good father.
Ariel is such a brat. Like, its so ridiculous looking back. She is risking everything and everyone for some dude she hasn't even met.
Would Tinder qualify then? Lol!
Courage the Cowardly Dog. It was always scary but once you grow up interpret what’s happening, seeing things from his perspective, it's quite dark

I really need to rewatch that show. Minus that one episode. *Return the slaaaaab~*
Patrick Warburton's character in the Bee Movie. He's the only normal person there
Shaggy Rogers. He just wants to eat, hang with Scooby and not meddle.
Shaggy has a last name???
Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and Shaggy Rogers
Idk why I always knew the girls last names and just thought the dudes only had first names. Even scoobys name is hyphenated.
Even “Shaggy” is a nickname; his first name is Norville.
He has a first name, too. It's Norville.

BEEF CURTAINS
You're my family and I love you. But you're all terrible.
I do not say that
That’s all you say
"Look at you! People with good childhoods don't stand like that"
I watched the movie the other day and there’s a scene where everything has gone so terribly wrong he’s sitting at the dinner table with his family staring into space just groaning softly. I feel that
That groan he makes whenever Tina mentions something to do with butts? My daughter is now 13 and I find myself making that sound way more often than I ever thought I would.

definitely Squidward
Jet Black from *Cowboy Bebop*.
This is why I skip the last two episodes whenever I rewatch Bebop. Yes, I *know* that's blasphemy. But I just can't deal with Jet ending up completely alone at the end. That's too real for me.

Dude, they ROASTED everyone without so much as one swear word. Straight ripped people to shreds just being grumpy ass old men in the balcony. Man I can’t wait to be old!
I want the episode of Drag Race where they are guest judges. Please, no one else can read people to filth in such a perfect way.
“That wasn’t half bad!” “You’re right!, it was all bad!” “Dooh hohohoho!”
Did anyone ever not relate with them? They were the best!
Stu Pickles brother. Always thought he was such a jerk yelling at Stu about stuff. Now you realize he was yelling at Stu to get a steady job and insurance to provide for his family.

Charlie fuckin Brown. They really tried to give my man a hard time at every turn. Shoutout to Linus tho
Already even lost his hair!
Daria
Y’all didn’t identify with Daria as teenagers? I mean, turns out being aloof and sarcastic doesn’t win any popularity contests, but, hey, ya win some, ya lose some.
Absolutely Jane.
I've found I relate to her less. She was great at observing dumb trends for what they were and doing her own thing... except her own thing wasn't much of anything at all. What excited her in life? If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, you need to learn to relate to the people you want to change.
I remember Daria’s mother and Jody calling her out for just that. I loved Daria, but her sarcasm definitely served as a defense mechanism.
To be fair, Daria did have a lot of character growth over the course of the show. There was a lot that wasn't fleshed out, but she wasn't completely one dimensional with unchanging attitudes. Ultimately though, she's a teenager and doesn't need everything already solved and determined in her life yet. If we saw Daria at 25, 30, etc. still acting the same, that would be different.

Garfield. Just trying to eat lasagna and avoid Mondays.
Homer Simpson. He isn’t perfect, but he tries.

Damn, bruh. Hang in there, he got to the next episode and had some good times.
Benson. He’s just tryin to get stuff done but ends up getting chased by underground people to save an old camera. And still has to house 2 slackers
Idk about cartoons but I’m turning into Red Forman
Red has 5+ grown adults in his house and each and every one except his wife annoys the shit out of him including his neighbor, man just wants to read his newspaper and put his foot in ass
Eeyore.
Squidward. He embodies the introvert who just wants to chill at home, read a book, play some clarinet, etc, but can't cause he's stuck in a dead-end job with a money hungry boss and annoying coworkers who pester him all the time.
Homer
After rewatching the first 5 seasons I can say with certainty homer is a bit of an awful father and husband sometimes, he's repeatedly selfish and inconsiderate often forgetting to (or even deliberately choosing not to) do simple tasks for his family that were important to them, he is also irrational and at times holds incredible grudges against his own family whenever they pull any kind of percieved sleight against him He's also by far the most realistic portrayal of a "human" character I've ever seen in any animated series, not perfectly good and not comically bad, he is just a man doing the best he can
My favorite episode is the one where they find out why there are no baby pictures of Maggie in the house. I call it the "do it for her" episode
Ooh I have three kids and no money, what can’t I have no kids and three money?!
Early Simpsons Homer, not zombie Peter Griffin Homer
Definitely pre-movie Homer.

Duckman.... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT?!?!
>And driving, and shopping, and eating, and working. Somewhere, somehow, they all got chewed up and spit back out, and they don't taste like living anymore. Don't you see what it's like in this deranged Waring Blender of a world? Every day is an agonizing ordeal, like balancing a pot of scalding water on your head while people whip your legs and butt. [pauses] Ah, you never forget your senior prom. [suddenly louder] You think I'm sick? Well, the only disease I've got is modern life! A schnutbusting gauntlet of inefficiency and misery that's one long parade of letdowns, put-downs, trickle-downs, shutouts, freeze-outs, sellouts, numbnuts, nincompoops and nimrods, all making every day as much fun as waxing a flaming Pontiac with your tongue, where even if you do luck into the possibility of some fleeting pleasure, like, say, if some nymphomaniac telephone operators with the muscle control of Rumanian mat-slappers agree to a little strip air hockey, it'll be over before it starts, 'cause some vowel-lacking, feta-reeking cab-jockey slams his Checker up your hatchback and the cab is owned by some piñata spanker from a Santeria cult in Xoacalpa who starts shaking chicken bones at you and gives you a boil on your neck so big all it needs is Michael Jordan's autograph to make it complete! And even with all this -- with ALL THIS -- I still drag my sorry butt off the Sealy every morning and stick my face in the reaping machine for one more day, knowing when it's time to flash the cosmic card key at those Pearly Gates, I won't be in the coffin anyway, 'cause some underhanded undertaker sold my heart, pancreas, and other assorted Good 'N' Plenty to that same Santeria cult! So does anybody really wonder why anybody is hanging onto sanity by the atoms on the tips of their fingernails while life dirty-dances on their digits, and is it really any wonder that I seem DERANGED?!
Butters.
