Merlin's Shop might has to be in the top 5 of the funniest episodes of the series, so many amazing moments. The angry psychic was the best "YOU MORON!" with the needlessly mean columnist being a close second.

One of my favorite parts of High School Big Shot is the whole bit with the dad and the ever expanding mythology of the magical fairyland. Also how just relentlessly bleak that movie is with everyone betraying everyone else, the dad hanging himself to give his son a clean start and the bit where the hoodlum boyfriend empties an entire revolver into his girlfriend.

What are some of the other incredibly dark movies they've done? High School Big Shot Red Zone Cuba Sidehackers Merlin is pretty drat dark for what is meant to be a kid's movie Girl in Lover's Lane (it's been a long time since I've seen it, as I recall it's incredibly dark)

Evil Mastermind posted:It ends with everyone about to turn their lives around and have a happy ending, then the titular girl get killed out of nowhere for no reason. Yeah, that ending is really out of place and just gross. A lot of the 50s morality movies are pretty bleak because they usually end with someone dying from their criminal ways, like The Violent Years or Teen Age Crime Wave. I Accuse My Parents avoids it just because of how rock stupid Jimmy is.

I remember this coming up in the last thread; I don't remember who it was who said it, but it's because of the Hays Code. Back then, evil acts had to be punished, but heroes couldn't be the one doing the punishing. It's why so many movie villains die via falling to their deaths instead of being directly killed by the main character.

Evil Mastermind posted:the Hays Code. Yay! I love the Hays Code! ...er, wait, no I don't. Let me dig up my old post about it. Here is a brief overview of it: ------ In the late 60s, when Hollywood was finally getting rid of the Hays Code, which basically outlawed anything non-wholesome, movies could actually tell realistic stories and thus got a better audience. Before then, there were tons or rules that restricted filmmakers to what the highest morality of the time was, so no one could actually put a view on the regular, American public person. It basically said things that you've always seen in those old movies, but never quite put it together. Separate beds, even for married couples; e.g. the pot dealing couple in Reefer Madness, living in sin, had separate beds. Infidelity and divorce were forbidden, if they wanted a single parent, they just had the other spouse die mysteriously before the movie begins. (Eegah! states this nicely) The iconic ending to one of the greatest movies of all times, Casablanca, ended as such because marriage vows couldn't be broken. And finally, the police, government, or the clergy could NEVER be shown to be immoral in any way unless they were so over the top cartoonishly evil that it would be seen as 'obvious that they were not realistically portrayed'. There's a ton other laughably silly rules that they had as well. ------ And as Evil Mastermind pointed out, the hero could NEVER kill the main villain unless they were essentially a conduit for The Righteous Justice Of God. Cave Dwellers, though free from the Hays Code, exemplified this to a T. Muscles O'Keefe had finally beaten up the bad guy, was about to (justifiably in the world they live in) kill him and be done with it, but then old dude steps in and says that the High Court will decide the justice. Sure enough, Pecs-a-Poppin says OK, and turns his back (this is the important part) on Swan Hat. Leftover-Chinese-Food-Foil-Sculpture takes this opportunity to try and do some stabbing, and (this is the important part) gets killed at the absolute pinnacle of his debauchery. Only our Lord and Savior can dole out that comeuppance. Something else you may notice in the old movies that is a Hays Touch is the way violence with weapons is handled. Every time you see someone get shot, they get gut shot by someone holding a gun like this from a distance of about 3 feet: --the worst possible way Or if they get stabbed, it is by someone holding a knife with their arms up in the air like a Frankenstein/Dracula so campy it would make John Waters cringe. They did this because the code thought that doing it any other way would not just be gratuitous, but would actually teach people how to commit violence with weapons. Do not show someone aiming a gun, because that might teach people that they have to aim a gun. Do not imply that a gun can strike a target from any distance. Do not show that a knife can be used as a stealthy weapon.

The Incredible Melting Man is also just kind of a bad time, with everyone just dying except for the weird body wife. Like, why did they murder Dr Ted Nelson at the end?
