Saturday Morning Ridiculous: A Cheat-y Shut Up, Batman Compilation

Due to being at Disney World this week, which takes up all day and then causes an instant coma as soon as you get back to the hotel room, I didn’t have time to do the next installment of Super Friends.

So, since it cannot be over-stressed that Batman needs to shut up, I’ve compiled his most shutty uppy-est moments so far:

Shut Up, Batman
Superman (double checking that the money they have been tasked with protecting is still in fact, there): The money is gone!
Batman: I suggest we investigate.

“Learning is something only Marvin can do for Marvin – right, Superman?” – Batman

Batman chiding Robin for not keeping off the grass.

My husband doodled this at work last week. Unrelated, but eerily appropriate:

Shut Up, Batman
“We can guess why you’re here Mr. Huggins – weird things are happening.” – Batman, ever astute.

Shut Up, Batman
“Here comes the twin to the other baby.” – Batman, referring to the second tidal wave.

Batman and the USGB, Like a Moth to a Flame
Batman and Robin end up at the United States Government Building again. They need to get from the 10th floor to the 60th, and, I swear to God, they decide to take the stairs because it would be good exercise (and because the elevator would be too “noisy”).

“Just enough to tone our muscles,” says Batman. Shut up, Batman.

Shut Up, Batman. For the love of God, shut up.
After Wonder Dog is giantized, he scares Shamon, who thinks he’s a Yeti, for some reason. Shamon runs back into the arms of Batman and Robin, who have somehow managed to get themselves stuck inside Shamon’s lab. Shamon then begs B&R to save him from the “Yeti,” who’s heading their way and B&R have this conversation:

Robin: What’ll we use, Batman, the laser gun?
Batman: Only as a last resort. If this IS a Yeti, it’s a rare creature. For the sake of science I’d like to capture it alive.
Robin: How? Its ten feet tall!
Batman: I’ll fashion my batline into a lasso. You man the laser gun just in case.

If you would like to witness these shenanigans in all their glory, the first season of Super Friends is available on DVD.

Even if you’re stealing my underwear and making fun of me and my belongings, it’s worth it.

Hotels. I love hotels. Most likely this is due to really only staying in them when doing fun things. Whatever the reason, I think what it comes down to is coming back to a made bed. There is really nothing like leaving the room with a messy bed or two, and then coming back to made beds, re-folded towels, and new soap. I love not having to do things, and making the bed is way up there.

And I’m sure the cleaning crew have to power to do all sorts of things, particularly involving underpants and abscondtion (a word I just made up) involving anything in the room, but dammit, the power of a made bed is too irresistible. Since I’m currently at Disney, I’m just assuming the whole thing goes down magically, anyway. They keep throwing that word around, so I just apply it to everything, including my swirled, messy sheets.

Saturday Morning Ridiculousness – Super Friends S1 Ep6

Season 1 Episode 6: The Shaman ‘U’

Airdate was October 13, 1973.

The Super Friends consist of Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, and Robin. Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog are the “Junior Super Friends.” They haven’t made partner yet. They also have no super powers other than Wonder Dog’s ability to almost speak.

Short Synopsis: Shamon is alternating between zapping a “space cloud” with a laser gun, which fuses chunks of gold together, and then uses a giant U-shaped magnet to attract these “gold meteorites” to it. This process, uh, how do I put it…here’s what the narrator said:

“And, after this mighty fusion, a mysterious mist slowly drifts downward into the atmosphere. There, it becomes strangely affected by the earth’s oxygen, creating exotic gases, unknown to earth scientists, and, like our air, appears invisible to the human eye.”

So, basically, dad farts.

The Dad Farts, I Mean “Mists,” Do Some Crazy Shit
There are two kinds of mists – red, and green, even though people can’t see them.

The Green Mist creates giants:

The Red Mists creates littles:

Wonder Woman concludes, based on two minutes of looking at various animals and plants shrinking and growing on some monitors, that humans are immune.

Somebody Get Superman His Brain Pills
Wendy: It’s 30ft high, and really weird looking.
Batman: What does it look like?
Marvin: It, uh, it looks like a ‘u.’
Superman: It looks like Batman?

WTF Screenshots
An orange crushes a tractor:

This is what the REM song “Orange Crush” is about. True story.

Shamon has both a Hitler mustache and a Hitler mustache goatee:

This is Robin, talking to himself while hiding behind a giant ball of gold:

Wonder Dog + Red Mist = Wendy and Marvinmobile

You would see, the biggest orange would be from me, and the card attached would say “Thank you for being a Super Friend.”


“Say, might as well bring Wonder Woman a little gift. I mean, a big gift! Up, up and away!” – Superman, the biggest loser with the biggest orange.

It’s the Little Things that Make Me Happy
I like to proclaim it when I’m certain a sentence has never been spoken before. For example, I said to the dogs today: “You all haven’t even noticed the yard men yet because you like cat poop so much.” Super Friends is filled with these little bon mots and this one is my favorite so far:

“A giant lobster and a twelve inch whale? This must not be allowed to continue.” – Aquaman

Say what?
Batman, to Robin: You alright?
Robin: Never better, Batman! I’ve been having a ball, two of them, as a matter of fact!

Shut Up, Batman. For the love of God, shut up.
