Drug references in Cartoons.

[BabyFacedAbortion]

I just saw an episode of "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" on cartoon network and first there's a form of Yogi the Bear with blood shot eyes trying to violently steal a picnic basket. UHH MUNCHIES? then, glancing over just now at the end of the show there's a fake ad for "Mushcookies"...mushroom cookies that supposedly taste like cat..hahaha, not the first time i've noticed things like this in that show either.

I love being in my older years and looking at these kids shows and noticing tons of drug references, or what are drug references in my mind.

Anyone notice some of these in other modern cartoons ?


(*similar to the 420 in movies post*)

[SwirlyMass]

i see it alot, in kids movies there are tiny little hints, i think we just read to much into stuff like this.

but it does make me feel special whenever i recognise it and a non-pothead doesn't.

[usedchemicals]

i saw a show once that was pointing out all the clues in the show Scooby-Doo that suggested that Scooby and Shaggy were high.

A couple of the ones I remember:
In one episode the "radiator breaks" in the van, and Scooby and Shaggy pop out of the back of the van along with a cloud of smoke and they're both laughing.

Shaggy and Scooby are ALWAYS hungry, the muchies?

[phoenix]

Haha, grim adventures of billy and mandy is the best. :D It's gotten more mainstream'd though, it was better when it first started.

And you saw that, but you didn't notice the blue mushroom poster in their lving room? (where they all watch tv?) I saw it in one scene and thought it was just a flash, but it's aaalways there. There's tons of mushroom references in that show.

[orangeman]

Lol wow, I have alot of old Looney Toon movies. Maybe I should go back and watch some to see some drug references lol.

[Lethal G]

Anyone ever watch Avatar: The Last Airbender? In one episode Sokka drinks cactus juice and they imply that he starts hallucinating and feeling funny. lol.

[4gan2ja0]

alice in wonderland has a bunch

[make it legal]

Well thats because the whole movie is a trip and a half. The guy who wrote the book was a huge stoner and loved acid and shit.

[phoenix]

That's what I thought too, but the book was written in 1865.

I'm preeeeeetty sure he wasn't on acid. ;)


That said, there's no reason he wasn't chillin with mushrooms and peyote. hahaha

[kracks]

alice in wonderland...jefferseon airplane - white rabbit

theres also a morning glory in the film....LSA

[BabyFacedAbortion]

never noticed the shroom but I will now!

I've watched Avatar lol I bet it was peyote (glad someone else mention that)

[Sabron]

Meh its not just drug refs in movies/cartoons..
But In billy and mandy in the episode where there are these tiny little " smurf " guys that live in mushrooms.... ..In the same episode billys clock said 4:20
But on the cover of the little mermaid ..there is a castle tower that looks similar to a penis
And in the rescuers down under or somthing.. When the mice are inside the birds house.. The picture on the calander in the back is porn

[make it legal]

Dont forget the huka smoking worm.

i saw that episode :)

[benagain]

I can't think of any at the moment, but if any come, I'll let you know. I know I've seen some obvious ones, but too high to remember any.

Actually, you will find that Charles Dodgeson (Lewis Carroll's real name) was not under the influence of any drug what so ever when he came up with the idea for Alice in Wonderland. There is no evidence he used any drug other than laudanum (which was the standard painkiller at the time, think advil or ibuprofen), and even the evidence for that is sketchy, circumstantial and weak.

Lol everytime you watch popeye!


I'm Popeye the sailorman,
I'm Popeye the sailorman,
I'm strong to the finich, 'cause I eats my spinach,
I'm Popeye the sailorman.

Gotta love that green!

(All I ever needed to know I learned in kindegarten!)

[benagain]

I think popeye would be a case of reading too much into it. Another obvious scooby plug was in one of the live action movies they made. I remember some comment about shaggy stating they stay away from places that have the word evil in the title. Evil and hydroponics....but for other reasons. I think they even meet a chic named Mary Jane and drool all over her. I'm sure my wording is off, I can't remember much about the movie, but I remembered that.

[dryst]

that penis onthe mermaid cover only shows up on the orginal cover :p its the top of the building...

also in the lion king when simba grows up he flops down on a cliff and dirt flys up and if watch it ,, itll say SEX for a second

[Oneironaut]

Also, in the Mario video games there were those mushrooms that would make you big, an obvious reference to the hallucinogenic mushrooms from Alice in Wonderland.

[Sabron]

Also ont he lion king, When they are on that big rock at nighttime ( dunno how far into movie) The stars spell out SEX

[dryst]

i already said that...and it isnt the stars...its the dust that flys up into the sky

[HypnotizedMind]

Alice in wonderland Definteley a stoner movie...think about it a pink and purple cat floating around smoking on a pipe.

[make it legal]

Hey dryst, I bet you didn't know this but,

Also ont he lion king, When they are on that big rock at nighttime ( dunno how far into movie) The stars spell out SEX

[intrepidus6]

At Disneyworld there is this ride called "Splash Mountain" and when you are waiting in line there is this one place where this toad talks to you, and all you can see is his shadow, but he has a pipe in his mouth, and is talking all crazy and laughing and stuff, might just be a coincidence though...

My Lit/Speech/Drama teacher said that what happened was that during the time he wrote the book, opium was one of the most widely abused drugs. It was said that he HATED the fact that people were addicted to it, and sometimes openly pushing/using the drug.

He had grandchildren, and she told me he wrote the book to try and scare them out of ever doing drugs.

I don't know, either way, good movie, great book.


Btw, Billy and Mandy is effing AWESOME! That's one of my favorite shows. The entire thing plays out like a mushroom trip, Baby Face.

[dryst]

can u post a pic fo teh lion king thing?

[UncleChunky]

..In the same episode billys clock said 4:20


Almost ever cartoon clock says 420, coincidence?

[Gothen]

It's probably just because ALL of the artists for cartoons secretly smoke, and think it's HILARIOUS that they've been doing it since Tom and Jerry, and no one has noticed.....

except now!

[intrepidus6]

What's with "420"?

[dryst]

What's with "420"?

^ ^ does this kid really smoke weed?

[Greenport]

i dont think so lol

[Skink]

^ ^ does this kid really smoke weed?

I smoked weed for 30 years and I had no clue what 420 was till I got on these boards...

[dryst]

i wasnt basing my entire assumption on his statment...overall his post are just kinda retarded :D

[MacWQ33]

In the cartoon movie ALADDIN (Disney)....at one point a few of the characters are out on like a porch....and you have to turn up your TV really loud, and you can hear Aladdin in the background saying "All good teenagers.....Take off your clothes!!" The proof that this is true is that Ive heard it like 50 times (had to show everyone I knew). If fact, I bet my Aladdin movie is right on that part lol. Ya, Ive seen the Lion King one too.

[intrepidus6]

Thanks, dryst! :D

actually, I haven't smoked weed yet, I am going to be smoking for the first time very soon, however.

Seriusly though, what does "420" mean?

[usedchemicals]

you guys are dumb, almost every single disney movie out there has a hidden message

[Ghost Toker]

yeah the disney stuff is weird like in Aladin, I went back like twenty times cause I couldn't believe it was in there. The Lion King thing is more subtle and harder to notice. Supposedly there are two in the lion king but I can only find one. Both of them have had it edited out in the later versions of the videos, and all of the dvd's. Only the first prints I'm afraid. And I saw that Yogi Bear cartoon years ago, me and a bunch of friends were smoking and just happened upon it, I've never laughed so hard in my life. For real that shit was FUCKED UP!!! Even the ppl who were there that weren't high (two out of ten ppl) said it was trippy. I saw it a couple months back again it's always the same one, I got so excited I had to tape it just to show ppl I wasn't crazy. It was animated by the same ppl that did Ren and Stimpy.

I love cartoons,

[Dro_Princess]

Also in the little mermaid, not sure about the new remasterd ones but, in the old one at the end when the little fat preacher marrys the little mermaid and that prince dude, the preacher gets a hardon, and you see it pop up and he quickly tucks it back in.

haha, yup, true

Almost every video game uses a miracle green herb to heal the wounds.
Resident Evil is one. There's a rat called Munchie and an old lady who grows indoor herbs in Dragon Quest 8.

would that be scooby "doobie" doo?

[Mista Sippi]

i remember on the futurama episode with all the different parallel universes when they were chasin the zoidbergs they popped up in reality #420 and the professor was smokin bud with a bunch of fly bitches. that shit was funny as fuck

in Saint's Row for 360 one of the food items you can use to heal is a blunt

your character actually takes it out and smokes it, then the whole screen gets hazy

[Professor Dan K.]

Anyone ever seen Beavis and Butthead do America? the part where they are crawling through the desert and Beavis sees a "cactus", he then takes a bite of it because he thinks theres water inside. A little later he starts tripping the fuck out and everything goes crazy.... man what song was playing during his trip? it was a badass scene thats all i remember lol

anyways, im guessing that cactus was peyote :smokin:

[MWT15.06.91]

Haha, grim adventures of billy and mandy is the best. :D It's gotten more mainstream'd though, it was better when it first started.


What is wrong with it now? How does mainstream make it worst?

[intrepidus6]

Can somone please tell me what "420" means?

[Professor Dan K.]

420 = april 20th = national pot smoking day

every stoner is supposed to get real fucked up that day and smoke mad bowls of weed. its not jsut restricted to april 20th either, if i can i always trya nd spark up a bowl at 4:20 am/pm.

[graph]

Why do you think I wanna be a cartoonist so bad?

Most other cartoonists and animators I meet smoke weed. I have no idea why, but it's pretty damn cool from my perspective.

[MWT15.06.91]

420 represents the 420 chemicals in pot.

Nope. 420 is the time a group of kids at San Rafael high school would smoke weed. They called themselved the Waldos I think. They have posters and other memorabilia to prove it. It got spread through grateful dead concerts. I've seen this info printed a bazillion times on the internet, but high times actually went out and found these guys and did a story about it in the May issue. Pretty good issue, too.

We're you baked the 50 times you heard it? :p
A friend of mine told me about the lion king too, except it was the leaves blowing into the wind spelling 'sex', I have never seen/heard sibliminal messages in either movies but I do believe them. It'd be cool if someone could get the scene in lion king

It was stars in the lion king, and it looks more like sfx, which was probably some animation crew. As for the take off your clothes, I've heard it and I don't believe it.

I mean, you have to believe that someone was in the sound booth, reading the next line that said take off your clothes. Then, no one in management thought that it was a bad idea.

I really like that snopes website. It covered both of those.

[intrepidus6]

Here is a picture of the Lion King sex thing:

i think the song is something by rob zombie. i remember when that movie was first coming out... damn those were the days. I grew up on that shit, and I listened to the soundtrack quite a bit. But the rob zombie song is crazy:thumbsup:

[shoi]

where i live i dont get many cartoons :/
