Batman's THE KILLING JOKE Joker Parody on SOUTH PARK

The other night, on Comedy Central's SOUTH PARK Cartoon TV Show, they did a total homage to Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's classic Batman Graphic Novel JOKER: THE KILLING JOKE. Yes, the ultimate JOKER book! One important thing that true Batman Fans will love too is the fact that they used the original version of the book & not the 2008 re-issue. Now, I have not seen it yet. In fact, our friend Dan was the guy who told me about it & to torture me he sent these amazing screen shots ( Thanks Dan! ). As you can see, they do a spot-on parody of the book! Be sure to click on them for larger versions. I have been trying to find the episode online & that's turned into a small problem. You see, the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are under a lot of trouble right now because this episode depicts an image of the Prophet Muhammad & it has a lot of very serious Muslim groups pretty angry. Like, usually after a South park episode has aired ( & you missed it ) you can visit their website a few days later to see it online. Well, this episode is the one under fire from religious groups & they might not ever post it there. Stay tuned to the Bat-Blog for more details.

Music Video: BATMAN & ROBIN Comedy Skit From Argentina!

In Argentina they have a popular TV Show called "Colorado Café" where they do comedy skits. Here's one with Batman & Robin singing...it's crazy! I think the name of the band is "Gem Boy" but I might be wrong.

Music Video: BATMAN AND ROBIN Comedy Skit with Neil Innes!

Our buddy Kenneth sent us this extremely rare Vintage BBC British Television video showing Neil Innes as Batman doing a Batman-themed comedy skit. Andy Roberts is playing the guitar, dressed as Robin. Now, the name of the show was "Rutland Weekend Television" & was written by Eric Idle. I know everybody would recognize him as one of the main actors in the Monty Python & The Flying Circus TV comedy team ...just do a quick search on the Internet & you'll know who he is! In the mean time, enjoy this super-wacky crazy song called "Boring". WARNING: You will not be able to get this song out of your head for the rest of the day, ha ha!

Paul's Weird & Wacky Batman Toys / Collectibles

Every now & then Bat-Blog Readers send in photos of their toy collections. I always love that! But the funny thing about this post is that our friend Paul responded to a few pics shown here once that were of "Weird Batman Toys". So, he decided to send us photos of some of his strange bat-stuff... that's hilarious! OK, so the main focus here are 3 really unusual items: a Pair of Holographic Buttons with images of Batman & Joker ©1989, a Set of Ceramic Salt & Pepper Shakers of 2 British Comedy TV Show Characters Dressed-Up as Batman & Robin, & 2 Bizarre Troll Dolls that are sort-of dressed like Batman. Now the last photo is on a more personal level. The Corgi Diecast Penguin Car & 1966 Batmobile are not really weird but are more along the lines of "Bat-Toys that Paul owned as a little kid". Which, for him makes them special because they have sentimental value. And I totally understand & think it's wonderful. I have a few items that were given to me by my Grandmother when I was very little & they're actually the most valuable pieces in my collection...and I'm not talking about "money value" either. One last thing, in case you're kinda freaked out about the Salt & Pepper Set. I really love these guys. They look EXACTLY like the 2 actors from the British UK TV Show Sitcom called "Only Fools & Horses". One year they had a Special Christmas episode where the 2 main characters dressed-up as the Dynamic Duo for a costume party. It turned out to become a cult classic. Here's a clip! Oh yeah, and Thanks to Paul for sending the great pics of the neat stuff, Thank You Paul!!

Video: SUPER CAPERS Movie With ADAM WEST & 1966 Batmobile Car

In 2009, Ray Griggs wrote & produced a superhero-parody movie called SUPER CAPERS. The basic story is about a good guy who with no powers joins a superhero team with no clue against a bad guy with no shame. The main character wants to be a hero very badly. But he has NO powers so he is sent to a special school to learn to be a superhero. To get to the school he hires a Taxi Driver to take him, who happens to be Adam West, & the taxi is a 1966 Batmobile Replica Car! To be honest, I have not seen the film yet but it is quickly becoming a cult favorite. I might have to rent it on my next video store trip. The movie has a pretty cool promotional website worth checking out, just click HERE!

Video: 1989 Batman Merchandise - Spitting Image UK TV Show

Here's a really funny video clip from the 1980's British Comedy TV Show SPITTING IMAGE. The show only aired for a short time in the USA but is now a cult classic. In this clip they did a parody of the "merchandising hype" of the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie. They used special puppets that were extremely detailed & also perfect caricatures of the actors ( or politicians ) that they were making fun of. They used to do some skits with Ronald & Nancy Reagan that were pretty brutal! One last thing. This video was sent in by a friend to the Bat-Blog named Jeffery so I wanna thank him for that...This is hilarious, thanks!
