Or, Saturday Morning Cartoons
So I had a great idea for a new cartoon:
Kim Jong Illin'
It would be one part The Monkees, one part Scooby Doo, and one part Pinky and The Brain.
In each half-hour episode, The Dictator of Hip-Hop would attempt to launch his nuclear missiles at The Man. And every time, something would prevent him from realizing his dream.
In the pilot episode, his Missile Command center would be overrun by zombies; an unintended consequence of the poison gas tests he was conducting on his posse. Instead of sticking it to The Man, K-Dawg would spend the entire episode running around his palace busting caps in wack-ass undead.
In the next episode, cannibals would storm the Crib, hungry for the flesh of the Illinest Rap Star.
Future episode concepts could include:
- the difficulty in booking a venue for arena shows when The Man controls Ticketmaster.
- overcoming the international trade embargo on booty exports to the Dictatorship of Rap.
- a very special episode in which K-Money learns a valuable lesson about lying to The Man.
Each episode would include a musical number, in which K-Dawg would kick it Old School, laying out his plan for world domination with mad beats and fresh flow.
The cartoon would be hip, funny, and irreverent. It would be visually appealing to the children, but packed with subtle humor for adults. The episodes would be packed with extrremely marketable items (Big Kim's Wack Hair Gel! The Illinest Death Camp Playset! The JongDong Missile That Really Launches--One-Eyed Fun for the Entire Family!)
With the right combination of monkeys, ninjas, pirates, and lovable little puppies, Kim Jong Illin', as I have just described it, would be the Best. Cartoon. Ever.
What do you say? Is this idea so crazy it just might work?
Or is it just so crazy?
