Moby Dick And Mighty Mightor (video)

All cartoons ever have always been made by high people.

0:08 – The two main characters don’t even exist in the same element. It’s two different ideas, but wtf?
0:11 – At first, you’re like, what are those things riding those other things. But then you’re like, well, actually, what are the things being ridden? It’s one thing to invent a creature that doesn’t exist to do things that don’t get done naturally (i.e., nothing rides fish like a horse), but why invent a fish-horse that doesn’t exist? Why not a dolphin?
0:17 – Well maybe because nobody wants to see a whale kill a dolphin. (The why not a shark?)
0:22 – “Stop punching yourself! Stop punching yourself!”
0:33 – Transition: Man throwing dinosaurs to loin-cloth clad youth holding a giant drumstick and riding a dodo bird. Totally.

Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon production that ran on CBS from 1967-1969.
