22 minutes of Hypnotoad

[on:]

I recall seeing something about their being an episode devoted entirely to the Hypnotoad being included with the movies or something like that. Does anyone else know anything about this incredibly awesome development.

[Reply #1 on:]

22 minutes XD. Sounds great doesn't it? They're gonna put it on one of the movie DVDs I think... but I also reckon they'll include special things that the hypnotoad will do, otherwise it'd get boring  .

Uh yeah, what Mr Blonde said.

[Reply #4 on:]

He appeared on The Day the Earth Stood Stupid and got his own TV show called Everybody Loves Hypno Toad, but he didn't have any 22 minute thing.

[Reply #5 on:]

He's talking about the new Futurama episodes where Matt Greoning has said he's thought of doing 22 minute long Hypno Toad episode.

[Reply #6 on:]

So, Hypnotoad might be making a comeback?  Cool!  Sometimes I wonder if there's any other characters on the Hypnotoad show?

[Reply #7 on:]

Well, this whole conversation can fit into the 4 Futurama DVD Movies thread so go there.

Too bad you're not a mod, isn't it?

Since this thread is the first new thread that isn't some half-baked retread game that can actually support discussion, and hasn't been beaten to death, I'm inclined to leave it open. 

Not to mention it's enough of a pain in the ass as is to find actual news in that thread with all the inane babble WITHOUT adding a whole other conversation to it.

Personally, this is how I picture Everybody Loves Hypnotoad, made watchable for primitive 20th century tv sets that don't broadcast mind-controlling hypnotic waves:

Uptight Roommate: Who filled the living room with stagnant pond water and swamp insects?  Wacky Sidekick, was it you?
Wacky Sidekick: No way, dude!  It was Hypnotoad that did it, fo' sheezy!
Uptight Roommate: Hypnotoad, is that true?
Hypnotoad: ::BZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZB ZBZB::
Uptight Roommate: THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL IDEA, I LOVE IT.  ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.
Hypnotoad: ::BZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZB ZBZB::
Uptight Roommate and Wacky Sidekick: SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH.

Yes, it's a real shame. I can't do anything about it.

Wow do I detect a compliment? Yes I live to not suck another day. To quote Bender "OH MY GOD."

That is possibly the greatest thing I have ever read. All glory to the hypno toad.

Well, we never thought we'd see the day.  Just kidding.

[Reply #12 on:]

When I first heard of this, I thought it was an incredibly cheap gimmick, albeit a humorous one. I'm not to inclined to change my perspective on the matter, however, seeing the popular posture in such dissimilar position to my own, I am inclined to merely leave my mind open just enough to bother to wait for further developments. But not enough that my brain falls out.

[Reply #13 on:]

i think it sounds a little too over the top, how can there be an episode entirely about hypno toad, seriously, but hey im open to the idea, iam just very intrigued to know more though

[Reply #14 on:]

maybe a dvd extra..no one would watch it all just to say its there would be good 

[Reply #15 on:]

they could do a AOI about the hypnotoad that would probally be better than 22 min

[Reply #16 on:]

22 whole minuts of BZZZZZZZZZZZZ? weird. I think that would be quite boring. He's okay as a small gag in an ep here or there but that's enough i think! I agree with tunni7. It would be okay as a DVD extra.

[Reply #17 on:]

and the winner is BZZBZBBZZZB HYPNOTOAD

[Reply #18 on:]

Has anyone seen the Hypnotoad extra yet? I've seen "Bender's Big Score" because my friend has a copy of it on DVD, but it hasn't been released in Australia yet, so I haven't been able to nerdishly pore over the extras yet! 

What is the Hyonotoad extra like? And the other extras, too, for that matter? Do they keep us Futurama fans happy? 

[Reply #19 on:]

Show spoiler

most of the time its just hypnotoad staring at the screen, but they do have the occasional laugh track, scene change, and comercials (which are hilarious), and a advertisement for the season 1 DVD set(all 365 episodes!!!)

[Reply #20 on:]

Was I the only one mildly disturbed by what seemed to be a behind-the-scenes fight between Hypnotoad and the camera/crewman (who kept switching the scene back to that house shot) that ended with the latter's apparent death?

[Reply #21 on:]

I watched the whole thing. Fry was right, the show has gone downhill since last season's premiere.

[Reply #22 on:]

[monotone]Do not be ridiculous. The show is just as good as it has ever been. You're just mad because it's popular. Death to all enemies of Hypnotoad.

[Reply #23 on:]

[monotone] I agree. Death to the non-believer. All glory to the Hypnotoad. [/monotone]

I noticed that the house in the beginning of "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad" is a futurized verion of the house from "Everybody Loves Raymond". It's even shown from the same angle. Hilarious!

[Reply #24 on:]

I think I was picking up the wrong signal from it because I fell asleep halfway through. ha-ha, no, just yanking, I thought It was hysterical. I like watching adverts about him, crazy cool.

[Reply #25 on:]

Well, I loved it.  However, for some reason 20th century fox now has all of my assets and those of everyone that watched it with me.  Weird huh?
 Isn't the Bender quote "Oh Your God"?

[Reply #26 on:]

A little before the halfway point it actually got really soothing... so whenever there was a change in Hypnotoad's antics or an advertisement came on, it startled me. Absolutely hilarious though, the whole thing.

[Reply #27 on:]

I can't wait to see it and I'm gonna watch all twenty two minutes if it. All 22 minutes

The same thing happened during the actual BBS movie, when Hypnotoad was interrupted by a Presidential address.

[monotone]ELH is known for its high crew turnover rate.  It is nothing to be concerned about.  I for one found this episode highly entertaining, with an insightful look into the Hypnotoad's backstory.  All glory to the Hypnotoad.[/monotone]

[Reply #29 on:]

You lose if you fast forward.

Must.... eat..... Calorie Substance.....

[Reply #30 on:]

^Yes.^ I watched it three times in the space of two days. I'm not sure if I could make it through a fourth, at least not until about a week from now. I am sure, however, that it was the groundbreaking monument of television history we were promised, and then some.

[Reply #31 on:]

I liked it but the weird thing is I only remember watching the bit where it shows us a preview of the next episode. I try watch all of them but that's all I ever get to.

Show spoiler

If you've watched it and you don't know what I mean, watch it again but listen closely to the guy at the end.

Sounds amusing!  Can't wait for the DVD to be released in Australia!

What are the other extras on the DVD like?

[Reply #33 on:]

Oh, I have got to see this! Too bad I haven't got the DVD... Oh well, I've asked for it for Xmas, so hopefully I'll get it.

[Reply #34 on:]

The Hypnotoad episode is a sublime pinnacle of glorious awesomeness.
That is all.

[Reply #35 on:]

I sat and watched the whole thing without forwarding once. It was painful, a few times my eyes started wandering from the screen and I had to suddenly look back at the screen again...

[Reply #36 on:]

I watched the whole thing. It's was fairly easy for I have no idea why. I also rewrote physics notes. I liked it, it was different.

[Reply #37 on:]

edit: @Otis: But the sheer absurdity of it makes it worthwhile.

Now that might be exaggerating a little...   

[Reply #38 on:]

It's certainly different this futuristic television. Still, it's a step up from Reality TV...

[Reply #39 on:]

Everything is a step up from reality TV.
