Let's make this pay for cover me in the.

Hello and welcome to our week. There yet and exploration and education and anime. I'm your anime idiot, patrick dugan.

I'm an anime expert. dana hollander.

And I'm brenda mccullough, your anime sock guarders. Those little things, the belts that keep up your socks, guy. Keep them dry. Don't want them falling down into the water.

Oh, no, you got no elastic in these socks. Here, let me help with that.

Oh, is that what they were for? That makes sense.

Yeah, they hold your socks up.

Despite knowing a bunch of stuff in the 40s. I'm not actually from the 40s, so I never actually used them. So I was not from what purpose? I know, it's bizarre.

I thought you were 80s.

You were born in the 50s, though, right?

Yeah, I was born in the 50s. They were slightly before my 20s.

Yeah.

Got it.

Gotcha. dana, what do we have going on?

I'll tell you. We're gonna watch a show called Panty and Stalking with Garter belt. Little subtitle there.

Okay. I thought we were with Garter belt. Like, we had to wear them while we watched it.

Here we are. This is my friend garner belt.

I mean, I wear one every time we record, but that's just nothing else. Be glad this is not a web series.

Yeah, but it's a pretty popular show aesthetically. It's pretty interesting. I don't know much about it other than it's little nasty, little cheeky, a little spicy, I think.

A little hot to trot.

Yeah. With a name like Panty and stalking.

Yeah, I can't imagine. It's like an after school kids program for, like, toddlers.

So I don't know why, but just hearing it, my first thought is to like arsenic and Old lace, which is not at all related, but I'm like, oh, it's going to be that style of thing. No, that makes no sense.

No.

Here we go. Here's an old reference for you. First thing, I think I just said.

Arsenic and Old lace, but continue.

First thing, I think of his silk stockings, which I think was a soap opera. Like a risque soap opera from, like, the think Billy Crystal on that he might have been.

I don't know.

I don't know much about this show other than it's very popular with artists. I see a ton of fan art of it and stuff done in the style of it. I don't know. That a lot of cosplay. Yeah.

And it looks like it was first released 2010. Is it still popular?

I still see a lot of fan art for it, so yeah, there's a community for it, for sure.

Yeah.

We are watching the first three episodes.

You're.

I don't know if I watched the right show. It appears one of the, like, porn ads on the sides of the illegal site I use just talked at me for an hour and a half.

The sexy banner ads just came to life and just kept screaming, just continued to scream for like an hour and a half.

Yeah, I think you're right. I think that's the right show.

Oh, boy.

Let's chat. Chat about kiddo.

Let's sit down for a minute. You're like dana? We have some questions.

Yeah, thank you for coming into my office. We need to go over your performance lately, namely flashbacks.

Sorry, it's too real.

It took five minutes into the first episode for me to just completely say, fuck this.

I had to I had to walk away and watch ten minutes of something else between episodes just to get a nice clean feeling before I went into the next.

I wish I thought of that.

It was but now that thing I watched, the thing I watched to cleanse it is also kind of tainted now because when I think of that thing, I think of the show.

Ruining media beyond its own property.

It's impressive. It's an impressive ability, I'll give it that.

Let's talk about it. I'm going to breeze through this. I'm just going to try and make it painless. Will it be absolutely not.

No way in hell. But it'll be a short episode.

No way. kay. Let's begin. Episode one. We get the op. It's an opening. And then we also get a title card, which I was like, oh, how charming. It's like old like nineties cartoons. There's a title card. Wow.

Yeah, it's cute. Yeah.

I would describe the art style of this show as basically new Grounds meets, like, 2007 cartoon Network.

Yeah. I was thinking, like, power book girls after an all night bender.

Yeah. So they live in dotton City, and the humans that live there are tormented by dark spirits and someone protects them.

Who might that be?

Who are they? Who might that be? There's a church and there's a little girl looking guy, green dog looking thing with zippers.

Yeah. And all my notes. It's just ger. I didn't bother to learn a name.

Yeah, it was Chuck, but who cares?

It's ger. It's ger who gives it, which already.

We have inspirations from invader zim. So you can tell this is going to be a great show.

Yeah. Big, nasty. He's losing his mind outside for some reason. And then he gets struck by lightning. And then a big black dude this is Garter Belt. He comes out of the church and bonks him on the head. And he takes a piece of paper from ger.

The show is very spastic. It's very manic. So a lot of stuff happens real fast.

Yeah. An alarm starts going off and then we're shown panty's Bedroom, and a guy like, gets out of her bed and he's like, oh, what's going on? And she's like, whatever. And then stalking in her room, she just, like, sits up and then lays back down, which I thought was kind of funny. We've been and then they go down to the place where garter belt is he's like standing in front of an altar. And he's like, hey, ladies, heaven has blessed us with another clue to an evil ghost. And it's just a note that says water closet, which is bathroom. So I regret taking this episode.

As you can imagine, it could be worse. I can have it bigger.

We should just quickly say the premise of this is these are two, like fallen angels who need to solve ghost crimes to be rewarded and get back into heaven.

Yeah, they're trying to get back into heaven.

Yeah, but they're naughty.

They're naughty. Oh, they're naughty. So naughty. The theme of this episode is regret.

Today'S, where it is regret.

Yeah. So Garter Belt explains that folks are being sucked down into or being eaten by their toilets because that's the most vulnerable position a person can be in. Vulnerable. I said vulnerable.

I'm vulnerable. It's going to be a tough episode.

This show ruined me.

This is on par with the Christmas episode.

And then we just get to know a little bit. Just panty loves fucking and stalking loves sugar. That's who they are.

That's a character.

That's all you need.

That's their characters. That's it. And they're like, all right, let's fucking do this. And then they get dressed and they roll out and they have a pink jeep, which I actually I was like, fuck yeah. I love that mood. And then they get to a house and there's like a blonde lady talking to a plumber. And the plumber is like, I fixed your pipes, ma'am. And she's like, oh, but I have something else you can fix. Get it.

A plumber porn joke.

Get that. Sex. Sex jokes.

Sex. It shows all sex. All sex and toilet jokes. This is just South Park family guy.

I don't know. South park has nuance.

It's sometimes closer.

Yeah, I was going to say that's why I said Family guy.

Yeah, that's better.

Yeah. And then panty and stocking get there. And Panty knocks into the ground. She's like, are you who we're looking for? And he's like, I didn't do anything wrong. And she's like, you're hot. And then they fuck. And then they go back to the church. And Garter Belt is like, you did not do your job. I'm angry at you. And then they eat dinner. And then Panty goes to use the bathroom. And then oh, no, she gets sucked into the toilet because that's what was happening. Why didn't you watch your butt? She's like yelling for stalking. Yeah, it's fine. She's like, stalking come out of me. And then she's like, no, stop talking to me while you're in the bathroom. And I'm like, you knew. You know, this is okay.

You're hunting a toilet ghost.

Probably the thing you were trying to fight like 2 hours ago.

And then she gets sucked all the way down into the toilet. And then she sounds like she beats up whatever's in there. And then I just wrote shit explosion.

Yeah.

All over the city.

A lot of dookie.

A lot of feces, a lot of shit. And it's a big sewer monster. Gross. It looks like something out of Binding of Isaac. Just a big, gross, blob monster.

You know what part of me forgot how much poop there is in bonnie Vizaac until just now? weirdly.

Yes.

I kind of like disassociated. Great game.

Yeah. Police come and they just shoot at it, which I think is funny. The police are completely useless in this show. And then they get there, and this was one of the things that made me laugh. The head chief is like, oh, what the fuck are we going to do? Then he sees Garter Belt and he's like, oh, sorry, preacher man, but Jesus, God, what is that?

Yeah, they caught me.

That was something that I was like, all right, okay. And then Garda Belt explains to the police that it is a manifestation of angry plumbers that have died. Classic.

They died while choking on the smell of poop. It's all poop. Get that doodoo.

It's just all shit jokes and fucking. And then this is another thing that made me laugh. The police guy was like, are you telling me that prayer is the only answer? And the garda belt is like, no. Why would I say that? God isn't even here right now.

God has abandoned the show.

Yeah, that's the real joke. And then Panty and stalking roll out and they're like, let's fucking do this. And then they have their transformation sequence, which I think is lit. I really like the song and I don't know, I think it's cool.

It's very different from good.

Yeah. If things were different, if this was better, I can't explain it. Obviously, if it was better, I would like it. But there are things in it that I'm like, oh, this is pretty funny. But then it's just like it's too okay, I'm getting ahead of myself.

I think one of my least favorite things in shows, trying to be edgy is just tossing in swears just for the sake of just hearing fuck four times in a sentence.

That's what I do.

Yeah, but you're not doing it to be edgy.

Yeah, I'm doing it because I can't think of the right words.

Yeah, I swear a lot, but that's because I don't know how words work most of the time, but it's not in an attempt to be like, hey, that's funny, right? I'm being funny, right?

Fun.

Yeah. I was going to say this at the end, but since you said that now, I don't like things that are just, like vulgar to be vulgar. And that's what I was going to say. If this was different, I don't know if it was more about these girls being sexually liberated and less just, like, making a joke about the amount of sex panty has and stuff like that. I think I would. I don't know. I don't know. It's not okay.

Yeah. Like, in the current form, this is vulgar. To be vulgar because it's an attempt at humor, not because it serves anything.

Yeah. It's not written this way. They just took Urban dictionary, grinded it up and threw it at the writing staff. There's no punchlines to any of these or most of these jokes. It's just fun.

Yeah. That's what it is.

Calm.

So it's like, all right, we're getting ahead of ourselves. Chance formation sequence. It's fun. I like it.

Yeah.

And panty's panties turn into a gun. And stocking's stalking turns into sword. And then they do a prayer thing, and it ends with, repent, you motherfucker. And then they kill the big shit monster I wrote. They wreck his shit.

That's a better joke than we've had in these three episodes.

Yeah.

And they get one heaven coin and they're like, what the heck?

Dang it. Every time they defeat a ghost, it's a real physical model, like a clay model or something. And it exploded like a firecracker or something.

Which I feel like that was what I enjoyed most, just seeing that I knew it just these, like, two second visuals. I was like, that's the only pleasure I'm getting from this show.

That's it.

It's not the only pleasure that they're getting ha ha.

Because someone came in their mouth.

Oh, no. Okay, part two of this episode, because this show is split into eleven minute segments like an old cartoon.

Yeah. This this ruined me, knowing I needed to watch six.

These were six separate stories.

Okay, so part two starts panty's fucking a guy. shocker. And she's keeping a tally of how many times he's come. And she's only come once, and it wasn't even that good. How awful. And then she turns on the TV and there's a car chase, and who's in it but stalking. And then Garter Belt calls Panty, and she's like, what's up? And he's like, Where the fuck are you? And she's like, nowhere. And then Stalking calls her, and she's like, Get your butt down here. And she's like, oh, my God. Fine. And then she steals the guy's motorcycle. And then we're shown more of the car chase, and the car that's leading the chase is, like, possessed. Isn't there a movie like that, or is it just a tire?

There's a movie for both. There's a tire and then there's Christine, right?

Oh, yeah. Steven King.

Yeah.

Yes. That's what I'm thinking of.

He was so high on cocaine, he doesn't remember making that movie at all.

Good. I'm sure that's how the creator of this feels. Or maybe they remember and they just who does? So, yeah, car is possessed, and he's just running over people and slamming into stalking. And Panty rides up on her motorcycle. And the car, the possessed car, man, he just keeps making sexual innuendos and then explaining them, which is something I think is a little funny as well.

It was funny at first, and he got old real quick.

Yeah. Every time he says something, he explains the joke and it's like, Just stop. We know.

We get it.

This entire show has been innuendo so far. You don't need to point a big red arrow at it.

Panty pulls out her gun, but then there's like a struggle with the car, man. And then she doesn't have it anymore, and it's on his head. Panties on his head. And then he licks them. I didn't write that down, but I remembered it.

I repressed that.

I regret it. And then there's more chase, and then there's a police barricade. And then the police crush him into a little block. And then stalking is going to stab him. She's like it's over. And then panties like, Hold on, I need my gun. And then when she reaches down to grab her panties, he's gone. And he jumped down onto the freeway and he possessed a semi truck. Oh, no. Oh, gee. And then he's just, like, plowing through police cars and pantsy, hops up on the truck and just shoots them with guns. And then stalking is like, rolling up from the other direction, and she's ready to fight him, and she slices him in half length ways. lengthwise. And then he falls into a train station. And they're like, yeah, we got him. But the bell doesn't go off. I forgot to mention that when they defeated the evil ghost, the bell tolls, but there was no bell. And that's because he possessed a train.

What?

Oh, no. And then Panty is like, If I can get my gun, I can get rid of him. So they hop on top of the train, and he's going way too fast. He's talking about how close he is because come jokes.

The sex.

The sex. It's the sex. And then Panty uses chuck's collar, I think, to stretch herself really far back and then launch herself off the train and she grabs a gun and she shoots him in the face. And then they ride off into the sunset. And then that's the end of episode one. I also like the ending. I think the ending song is a chill jam. Yeah, I think I mentioned last week that I really like the soundtrack. The soundtrack is very good.

I was surprised by the ending song. Yeah, quite good.

That's episode one.

Here we go.

Okay, more common shit jokes.

Let's go bring them just so much.

Can't wait.

I think this show actually ruins can't Wait 69 as a joke for me. Like, it's not funny anymore. It ruins sex jokes.

I'm so sorry.

The most purest joke.

I was also thinking, you remember in the digimon movie where there felt like scenes where I actually have a point here. They felt like scenes where they were artificially adding dialogue in the dub. They felt like every moment had to be filled with some sort of joke or dialogue of some kind. And some of the lines were real fast and kind of chaotic. It feels like that's all of this show, like all of the dialogue feels like that where it's like we got to fill every second with something to say. stevie I can't think of a single moment where there's just like no talking in any of these episodes. And it's exhausting. Anyway, episode two. I don't know the title. Something about bees. This is a B episode. Get your bees out. This is the bees and opens up like all the other episodes do with Garter belt, like giving an narration as we're like, flying over the city. And he summons Panty and Stocking down again the same way before they just fall through the ceiling and panties in bed, still stockings, pooping. And it's like, ha ha. Poop. And apparently there's a new client. It's the principal of the local school. We got to get that school episode school uniforms and all.

And pony teenagers clearly wrote this show, and they wanted to be in it as well.

And apparently some of the students are going missing. Oh, no. So they have to go undercover at the high school to try and figure it out because, you know, undercover. And these two girls are very subtle, so it's going to work out. And they draw a lot of attention because they drive their big pink hummer through the school when they arrive and immediately make a big scene. It's funny because they were told to be subtle and like, go undercover, but they're not.

That's the gym. They weren't subtle.

Do you get it?

Do you get it?

No.

Then all the high schoolers are gushing over them and freaking out. They go, well, sure, pretty, all this other shit. And we just see some kid running down the hallway just covered in bees. Just a whole mess of bees.

Covered in bees.

Just covered in bees. And Panty pulls out her gun and shoots the bees off. It's a gun that can kill a ghost, but then she can shoot people with it and not kill them. I don't know. And so all the bees come flying off of him, and he falls over and he's like, oh, gee, thanks, lady. It's like, oh, you're pretty. And he's drooling over her as well. And then she's like, get out of the way, nerdo. And kicks the beehive that he was like holding, which is why all the bees were attacking him. And when she kicked at him, he hits him in the head and he starts running around again like, oh, man, I got those bees back on my brain. And he's running around. It's bees. And as he's running around, he bumps into the popular girl who's being carried by all the football players and cheerleaders. And she's sitting on top of them like a queen. And she's quite literally wearing a crown. And a cape and her name's barbie because, you know, like barbie like the doll.

Like the, like the doll because she's.

Blonde and popular, so she's like, she's like the doll. Get it?

Barbie would never be this mean, though.

I'm sorry, one more time. Come again?

The doll.

Oh, barbie.

I'm a barbie stan and I will not take this. barbie is amazing. I love barbie. Yes, barbie is a nice lady. She would never hurt anybody. Got to fender woman particularly their feelings.

And so then we get there's like some butting of heads between Panty and barbie and it's like, hey, you think you're a hot shit? And all this other stuff. And then we get just a montage of them doing stuff in school and barbie doing something and panty or stalking one upping her and getting all the attention and barbie getting shomac and someone else is getting attention and what else is happening? And then we get barbie. Apparently it's the school mascot because at one point she runs in the center of the school and the school emblem is on the floor. And you see the janitor rolling over a new school emblem with painting and stocking signatures and designs on it. So I guess barbie literally runs the school, supposedly, which is cool and weird.

Especially with these other two girls mind control powers.

Okay, but the principal wasn't affected later. He's the one that went to them to get it investigated.

So he wasn't he wants all the horny teens.

God, I was going to make a joke there and I felt better of myself. This show is making me think better of myself. This show is making me second guess my crude dumb jokes. It's killing me.

Good, then it's killing me.

I'm going to work squeaky clean from now on.

I'm going the gym gasket route.

No more cusses.

No more cussing. God, imagine if we had to do the rest of the episode without curse.

We couldn't we couldn't describe this show.

Yeah, we'd have to people just to talk about it. So after this whole little montage, we see like, some nerves at their lockers and they're like, oh, man, the pennies is talking. Sure is me. I like them better than barbie. And they open up their lockers and they just have a bunch of barbie merchandise. Like not of the doll that has merchandise, but of the girl in their school that has like, merchandise, which is weird. And then the last guy is like, yeah, we're now panning and stocking stands. We got a new idol and he's got all of their merch in his locker because they've been there for 3 hours and have all this merch, I guess. And then we see we see someone sneak up behind them and is like, oh, you're like panty and stocking more. And barbie, I'll prove you. And all the nerds get attacked. But we don't see who it is. I wonder. And then we see painting and stocking in a sex a class being yelled at by the coach, who's saying, like, if you have sex, you'll die. And it's a joke because they do nothing.

Girls.

It's good. Yeah, it's mean. Girls. And the B nerd comes running in, and he's saying, like, oh, my friends got attacked. Well, not friends, but people in the hallway I talked to sometimes got attacked. You got to help me. And they run out to the football field, and they see barbie sitting on top of the bleachers with all the cheerleaders and football players underneath of her. And she's bragging, saying, like, think you're hot shit? I'll prove you who's hot shit. I'll show you who's the queen be. Get it? Because like, no bees.

I don't get it.

Barbie.

You just don't get it.

They even have a line where it's like, oh, wow, queen bee in high school. How obvious. It's like just because you point out how obvious the joke is doesn't mean you didn't also write that joke.

You put that there.

You could have taken that out if you thought it was so dumb. You do this yourself. So turns out barbie's a b ghost, and all the football players and cheerleaders start attacking them. And they cut them all up. And they cut off the helmets. And they find out there's little bee drones in the helmet that are controlling all the people. So they fight them all off. And then they do this big, like, combo attack where they defeat barbie the bee ghost. And then the nerdo freaks out. He's like, oh, wow, you saved everybody, and you helped us take all gee and then panty's like, hey, yeah, that's cool. Can I fuck all these high schoolers? Can I have sexual intercourse with all of these possibly underage students? Cool. And then fucks the football team. And that's the first part.

Can't. Yeah, I can't.

It's funny because the sex so that's part one.

Let me say something. I think another beacon of light in this show is brief. I love briefs. I think he's a very sweet boy. And he's just trying to make his way, and he's just thrown into this nasty shit. And he's like, oh, gross.

He's got like he is more reliable.

Horny for panty, though.

Yeah, he's very horny.

Of course he is. They're all horny. But he's sweet.

I don't know if he's sweet or we just see very little. Well, I guess, yeah, there's this third episode, I think.

I think he becomes, like, relevant, like, later in the series, when there's, like, more of a story, if you can believe it.

Oh, too bad. We'll never forget.

I don't think that happens. I refuse to believe that that happens.

We'll never get there. All right, so part two, it's like sex in the Diante city or whatever. It's a sex in the City joke.

Dot ten DA.

Is that a sex joke? I'm surprised there's something in here that's not a sexual innuendo. So this one is all about Sex in the City. But instead of Sex in the City it's panty and stocking and Sex in the City. So it opens up with a big Panty and Stocking movie trailer. And then Panty is doing a photo shoot. And then her and her agent have all these plans of her doing all this movie star stuff of doing a tour here and doing sponsorship here and doing talk shows here. This and that and this and that and this and that. And we'll see any of Stocking. And then we see Stocking going about her date, like on the computer, just kind of like, keep it to herself. And then we see her getting into, like, the big old hummer. But now it's a big old limo. And Stocking is on one side, like, minding her own business, and a paint is on the other side with her all entourage being pampered and all this other stuff and being treated like a starlet. And Stocking saying the painting sold out and sold her soul to Hollywood. And now it's just like a dumb husk that just is being toyed around by the big wings in Hollywood. And then they go they're on their way to the big movie premiere for their biggest Sex and the City movie. And they say like, oh, and this movie was directed by Roman polanski. What a timely reference for a pedophile. And then the host says that this is the debut of Panty. And, like, her feature film debut. It's like her first movie. And she's like, how dare you? I've been in other films before. I'm not some lowly amateur. This isn't my first movie.

I am an actress.

I am an actor, and I will show you my first movie. And she pulls out this pink vhs tape, which is also very dated, despite someone who loves very old references. I was very tired how old these references were. I now understand why people don't enjoy my company. And she puts in the vhs tape, and guess what it is? It's a sex tape. It's her having sex. Get it?

Her was in a movie before, and it was porn.

It was about it's the pornography.

So everyone's like, oh, my God. You showed your porno in this big area. And everyone's seen. And the manager is like, we got to pay people to show you are.

Going to say pussy? You showed your pussy in front of all of these people.

Everyone's seen.

That is what she did.

It is, yeah. And the manager, we got to pay all these people to not tell anybody. And we got to get all the copies of those tapes. And we can't let anyone see this. Like, what the fuck do you do, Panty? And then Panty gets a little upset. She's like, what? This was just a direct to vhs movie. Like, this is a direct to tape.

This.

Wasn't screened in theaters. What the fuck? So she's more upset that it wasn't shown in theaters like they do with porn sometimes.

The dumbest thing is, she didn't even seem to realize. They're like, this is a sex tape, Panty. She was like, what the thing where.

I had sex on camera?

I think that was they were trying to do as the joke was like, she was a sex tape. This went right to tape. I thought this was in theaters. And she was upset that more people didn't see it. She was upset that it just went right to vhs. And it's just like, because she knew she had sex, it's like, that's not the problem. It's the joke. They undercut the joke without their sex jokes. So they're like, hey, you've ruined your career. You're no longer a movie star. And Panty starts pleading with Stocking of like, hey, we got to go around and collect all those sex tapes. And we got to destroy them all so people can't see them. And then we can all pretend like this never happened. And that's what they do. They go around everyone. All the entourage abandoned panty. And now she's just with Stocking. And they go around the country and then around the world. And they're collecting all the tapes from different people. And we see the jam coach from the last part of the episode. He had one. And they're going to different countries. And it's just like, a lot. And then they're like, all right, we got to get the last tape. Where's that? And they're like, oh, no. You see a rocket flying off the planet. And they're like, I guess it's in space. And then they're in space immediately. And they're on the space shuttle. And it's like, all right, here's the last one. It feels bad to destroy it, so I'll give it to you, Stocking. Who better to have my sex tape than my own sister? Gross. So Stocking has the copy. They go back down. They do the premiere again. They pretend like it never happens. Everyone's there again. And they're doing a whole another premiere. And they're like, all right. Miss Panty in her debut movie. And she's like, yes. This is the first movie I ever did. Nothing else. Ha ha.

I never did a sex tape or.

Anything or showed it to everyone. And the host is like, because this is her debut movie. This is also stocking's debut movie. And Stocking goes up to talking, and Panty pushes her out of the way. And it's like, yes. But because everyone is bored looking at Stocking and her ugly face and no one wanted to see it, we cut her out of the entire movie. And we just did it with cuts of me. Because it's all about me, Panty. It's all about me. Stocking is like, cool, cool. And it goes and uploads Panty sex tape to the Internet. That's it.

Bad move, fancy. Bad move.

Most of my audio in this episode is just fake laughter.

I feel there's a few times where I thought you got up and walked away from the mic and you just like, I can't listen to it anymore.

Let them know I was thinking about it. Actually, just now. I could probably get up and go do something real quick and you wouldn't even notice.

Yes.

Honestly, I'm looking at the Internet because I need to find there's so many positive reviews of this show. People love this.

It's confusing. I'm very open to a lot of things of like, oh, I don't like this, but I can see how other people like it. I can see the appeal for someone else. I don't get this. I can see it as maybe entertaining if I watched it muted and just looked at the pretty art as it was going by.

Yeah, that's a general thing. The thing that people can agree on is that the art and animation is fun.

Yes.

Not good, but fun.

Brightly colored. Got a lot of interesting choices.

Keep my attention.

I'll wade into this sea of shit for the last episode, and then we'll get some closure with some actual opinions of this because you all know how we feel. So, yeah, I'm going to go lightning speed because the show doesn't deserve any better. First one, just the title of these two shows give you the vibe that they're going for just their target demographic. We have Cat Fight Club. So they're going for the Fight Club bros get it. And it was pulp addiction. So it's like, you get it. The two broiest movies are making those jokes now.

I don't get how that plays into the second half part at all.

Get to it. There's a thing, but yeah. So first one, stockings pudding is missing and Penny ate it. We get an odd couple set up of you're so messy panty, but oh, you're so neat stocking. You're only eating sweet stocking. You don't like anything spicy or anything else. You're going to get fat. And they're like, oh, well, I'm fucking your dude. Well, I'm fucking your dude. So they're fighting.

If I can just point out one line that really stuck with me, it's stalking. Trying to say, like, I fucked your dude, Panty. And she's like, and you know what? He wasn't that bad. I'd get his abortion. And it's like, wow, someone wrote that? And I was like, yeah, keeping this line in. It's like.

A team of people heard that and was like, all right. Yeah, okay, cool. So, yeah, we have Brief and Garter come in. Of course, now we have to do some priest pedophile jokes with Garter and Brief.

Classic.

We get a couple of those. I'll mention it here so we don't have to talk about it again. They get a mission. Their note just says rope. But they're fighting, so they refuse to work together. So Panty goes out with Brief and Stalking goes out with Chuck, panny and Brief. They're gone for a little bit, whatever. Who cares? Fuck them. And we have stalking going out and is approached in the sex shop district by Little Red Riding Hood. And she's like, oh, no, the big bad wolf is attacking me. Come help. So she does. She follows, and it's a trap. This is part of the ghost. And they fight, and she's all tied up and she's enjoying it.

Bondage more sex.

You get it? But then Panty shows up and they're still bickering, but they're also trying to fight the ghost. Eventually the ghost insults them both and they're like, hey, you can insult us. We can insult each other cause we're sisters, so we're going to have a truce so we can kick your ass. And they do that. They stop fighting, and then they beat the ghost. And with the money that they win panty by stocking a pudding. It's spicy.

It'S hot.

You know that spicy pudding they have everywhere?

So halfway there, folks.

Buckle it. We're almost done.

This one, I can summarize this one in two words. Ready?

Yeah.

Come joke.

Yeah, that's it.

I think this is the least amount of notes I took for any show.

We've watched this like, so bad, there's no point.

This one in particular, this eleven minute segment is so awful. Terrible.

This is the caliber of stuff, like, just that opening I would expect from like a two minute newgrounds video in 2004. But this was a TV show made by people who made good shows.

And there's like 13 episodes. There's like ten more we haven't watched and never will.

This one was panty and stalking with Garter belt. And then there's another one called Panty and Stalking sanitary Box, which.

Cool. All right, great.

Let's get through this speed rack where we open up on like a D day war scene, but they're sperm and they're going in and they get wiped out by tissues, get it? Because you jerk off into a tissue.

Jerk off, you pull out.

This hardest episode we've ever done. Get it?

Hardest thing I admire is just the pure pun density of this scene. It's exhausting.

It's every other word.

Yeah.

Just having that much crammed in that alone is impressive. It's not good, but it's impressive. Yeah.

They spent too much time wondering if they could and didn't spend time wondering if they should.

Yeah. So, yeah, all these sperm soldiers are dead. We get gartered coming into the room being like, oh, I got to come. But all the tissues in the world are gone. Where am I going to finish and hang like a mouth?

You just fucking jerk off into your hand and then wash your hands.

Exist.

He could jerk off anywhere, sorry to say.

It could jerk off anywhere and then.

Just clean it up, get in the shower.

But the tissues are so soft. It's the only choice for him.

Oh, my God.

So, yeah, his head explodes and he comes everywhere. Fucking great. So here's where the pulp thing comes in. Tissue paper and stuff is made from, like, paper pulp.

Is that the whole thing?

That's the whole thing.

Jesus, that's a terrible yeah.

They go to the paper plant because it's haunted. It's covered in cum.

Covered and come.

And the ghosts of all the sperm soldiers are there. They're getting their revenge by shutting down all the tissue production in the world. And they fight the soldiers. And then we get another dday scene after the fact, after they won, but they're going on to an island that's just a big pussy. Threw my notebook across the room. Done.

It's over. This is the end of the title. Just big pussy.

No, we would get it has standards.

Yeah.

At least they do give me apple pie.

Hardly.

So I was going insane because I needed to find negative reviews. I couldn't find them anywhere.

Everyone loves it. It's the perfect show. I don't know what you're talking about. It's so good.

So I did a little research. I needed to find something, first off, less surprising to me, to be honest. Same director and some of the same creators as gurn legon.

Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense.

And also, same studio that did neon genesis evangelion Dan gallian. Excuse me.

Oh, my God.

That's surprising to me.

A little bit, of course correction there. But I'm on the wikipedia page for the show, and this is like, the only place where I can seem to find the bad reviews, which is good. So I just need to share some just so we know that we aren't the wrong ones because everyone loves this show. So Carl kimlinger of anime News Network found the show to be unremittingly revolting and generally not funny. anime News network's individual episodes reviews are equally critical, accusing the series more than once of having a style over substance approach and generally flawed tasteless and needlessly disturbing comedy in spite of its impressive production values.

I agree with that.

Reviewer gia mannery found the visuals and the writing to be substandard, ending in one out of five score. She's also criticized the musical score of the episode, calling it terrible.

I don't know about the music. I might disagree with that critic.

The music is fine.

Yeah.

This is what I relate to the most. Critic Jacob chapman considered the show to be a mess with and very agreeable. A poisonous air hanging around it and thoroughly unpleasant to sit through.

Yes. Wow.

So there's also some positive reviews on here that I'm not going to share because we're buying monsters that should be in jail.

They don't deserve it. This is how I feel. Nothing in this show offends me at all. It's not funny.

Yeah, there were a couple racist stuff. They go to Egypt and speak quote unquote arabic, and that's fucked up shit. But yeah, it's not like it's edgy to own the libs. It's just trying way too hard where's.

The sex is fine. Sex is funny. It can be funny, but not in the way that they're doing it. And toilet humor just doesn't make me laugh. It's not offensive to me. It's just not funny. It's just like, lowest common denominator.

Yeah, I'm a big believer in that. There is a way to make most subjects funny. It can be very difficult and it may take the right person to do it, but most things, you can find humor in it. This is just bad joke writing. This is just lazy things you hear in any 6th grade classroom.

It's mind boggling to me because I'm someone who grew up on Rennin's dimpi. Someone who adores puns and just absolutely stupid referential humor. And just like, I make I'm the crude one on this podcast release out of us three. That's clear, that's obvious. We'll get to some of my picks later. It'll prove that, like, on paper, this seems like it would be the perfect show for me. And after watching it, I am thoroughly reevaluating my life and deciding I'm glad maybe I fucked up somewhere, fucked up a long line. Because there's just no jokes. Like we said, anybody can just write on paper. Anyone can just write a sex pond. Like, that's not hard. That's not clever. There's no jokes. There's nothing. One of the funniest things I laughed at was when the cop was like, what the fuck is this crab? And the garter about the priest shows up. He's like, oh, sorry, Jesus Christ, the Lord named, or whatever, and uses the lord's name in vain, which is arguably a worse offense in front of a priest. So I was kind of like, ha. And then I just died inside, and.

The rest was just hopeless.

I don't see the appeal in literally any of this. Besides the art. I enjoyed the art and I enjoy the fan art and stuff. I do not see any of the appeal of the content itself. And I'm sorry if you enjoy listener I don't get this. This was physically exhausting to watch.

For me, this hits me as very much of the time because this is very like 2005 Internet humor. But for it to have remained in positive favors, like, 2005, I believe, was the first release where almost 15 years out and still people love it. That does not make sense to me.

It makes me feel like we're crazy. I feel like we're being gas lit.

It feels like the worst parts of ren stimpy and invaders in mashed with the over 18 parts of New Ground. And it's just like, yeah, I don't want any of this. Give me my polar bear cafe again.

Yeah. So we hated this.

Yeah, this is garbage.

I wanted some analysis at the end, one to pad the time a little bit because I'm sorry, listener you did not get a good show this week.

Sorry. This is what I was going to.

Make this criticism entertaining for you. I am physically exhausted.

It's a rough go. Just a moment of silence to collect their thoughts.

Right?

If you enjoy this, please tweet us right in. Tell us what the appeal is, because I am thoroughly confused.

I don't need that. Tweet at Brendan.

Tweeted me. Tweeted me.

Yeah.

Tweet at Brendan.

Because I need to understand how this is so popular.

Besides just I'll never understand.

Besides it's just the guy that can take her and leg on and everyone loves it. It's okay. I could see how people would love it. It's not the best, though. It doesn't justify this.

I don't want to get elitist with it, but I want actual analysis on why someone likes this. I don't want all the reviews that I'm seeing online of it's, like South Park. So it's funny because I don't trust that review.

Yeah. I think my brain is trying to make sense of it because I like media about sex. I think if it's done in a good way, I'm like, this is great, like how I feel about Kuznonkai, which is like a very different thing. But I think my brain is like, so many people like this, and a big part of it is sex. So why don't I like it? So my brain is, like, doing flips because I hate this. This isn't funny. It's not good. I am being gaslit, it feels like.

Because like I said, on paper, this seems like it'd be perfect for me. I love ren and stippy. I grew up watching it like don't was on the electric fence. That's dumb toilet humor. And I think it's funny. I don't find anything funny in this, and it just isn't clicking.

I feel like the concept is something that we would see somewhere else. Take the demon Car episode. If you took out all the sex jokes and just kept the structure of that, I could see that as a successful cartoon Network show of the time.

Yeah.

It has the art style that matches. It has the very poppy color scheme and design, and it just doesn't want to fully commit to being a show, so it wants to just make these dumb sex jokes.

Honestly, if you just muted it, I might just have it on in the background and be entertained by the shiny colors every now and then, but the dialogue just is such a physical assault of my brain.

It's a dumpster fire.

It's something.

Yeah.

Anyway, we did it.

Anyway, let's move on.

So next week we have a listener recommendation. We're all getting back into school. Well, it's the time that the people who are getting back into school get back into school. Let me say that the most clunky way possible. So we're going to watch nietzsche. Joe, I believe I said that somewhat close.

Yeah, you did.

It. That was good.

There's a recommendation from delaney peterson.

Yeah, I'm excited for it. This has been on my list for a while, and the clips I've seen are already better than this show.

That's all.

Anything is better than this.

Yeah.

All right.

I'd watch etsy dante, my Santa again. Over there.

You know what?

Honestly, because I can laugh at how bad that is. Yeah, this I have no hope. Okay, stop it. I'm stopping on it.

So if you have a show, if you have a good show you want us to watch, give us some good shows. We need to restock the bank, get the ratio up. You can send those to Are@gmail.com or you can reach out to us on Twitter and Instagram at arwaverite. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram at Mr. Patrick dugan.

You can find me on Instagram at queen. Period weebu and on twitter at queen underscore weebu and queen underscore weebu art.

You can find me on Twitter at abts. Brendan, if you like panty and stocking, please tell me why I'm not confrontational. Just like I don't see the appeal. And I would be curious to see why it's so popular and why we are in the very clear minority, it seems like.

Write us an essay.

Tweet us an essay. But it's got to be in Twitter. I want to make it to make it difficult for you as it is for me to read. And then I also have abts Silence, which is a video game podcast. You can check that out.

Did you just say abts? Silence.

Sure. I'm done, man.

Yeah, almost better than silence. I'll do it for you.

Brain is fried.

Thank you to camille ruley for her art, and thank you to Louis zong for theme song stories off the album Beats. You can find all of Louis music at Louisong bandcamp.com. Thank you, and we hope you'll join us next week as we learn to live with him. Yeah.
