03.05.09 IF WATCHMEN WAS AN 80S CARTOON
A FilmDrunk reader sent over the video below, which re-imagines Watchmen as an 80s Saturday-morning cartoon. It was animated by this guy, who’s apparently really good at drawing stuff. The video isn’t what I’d call laugh-out-loud funny, but as an accurate parody, it’s pretty goddamned impressive. Kind of like my biceps. Can you believe how much I’m curling right now? It’s like the weights are levitating. These aren’t arms, they’re firearms.

I wish I had a cupcake.
Rorschach is freaking me out a little with the heavy dog petting. I think he’s smuggling some Jiff in his coat.
I see Danny Trejo’s turd nozzel in his face.
Suddenly, I’m hungry for cereal. And my parents’ love.
These aren’t arms, they’re firearms.
More like weapons of mas
s destructionturbation.Whatever, as long as there’s pie-juggling in the movie. CGI, slo-mo pie-juggling.
If you go to the Youtube page for this video, Response #61 is from Michael Bay asking to buy the film rights.
Have I watched so much Watchmen footage that my brain has erased all memory of a pink dog?
If Watchmen was an 80s cartoon
I’d expect it to end with the exclamation “Excelsior!”
He left out the part where the Comedian does a line of coke during a club bust and Ozymandias details his fight with AIDS.
^^ “The Real Killer”
I think I saw Carmen San Diego in there.
I was actually expecting to see that half-assed Ghostbuster crew with the damn Gorilla to pop out somewhere.
If this was an 80’s cartoon, it would have been called Swatchmen.
So are we actively trying to give Alan Moore a stroke, or just angina? Which is worse? Sudden death or lingering pain?
Was the Junkyard Dog from “Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling” in that? No?
Then I can give a fuck less
Needs more rape. I’d like to see Sid and Marty Krofft’s take.
I can’t wait until eight months after this comes out when a couple of self-important pricks come out and take credit for every dollar the film makes because of their marketing strategy. Because, when that happens, I’m beating the fuck out of those guys.
I’d like to remind everyone that the Wonder Woman movie is awesome and will be cheaper to rent this weekend then fighting the fanboys for good seats to Watchmen.

This would be a “special” episode where Ace and Gary make an appearance.
Hey, you leave my dads out of this!
I’m so sick as shit of hearing about this film, I hope everyone associated with it (right down to the gaffers and craft services) gets inoperable dick cancer.
I’m sorry that fucking ruled all. The fact they had Dr Manhattan turn into a car was the icing on the cake that and Rorsch with the dogs.
When did fucking stop ruling all?
I used to drive a Rorsch. The guided navigation system was kind of a killjoy, though.
I’m sorry that fucking no longer appears on my yearly agenda.
2 hours…
2 hours until me, an 8 ball o yeyo, two handles of Seagrams and a woman who can’t wait to give me birthday head blast off for Las Vegas…
2 hours…
Hey! This isn’t my twitter page!
I can’t watch the video, are the Harlem Globetrotters in it? Cuz if there aren’t any Trotters then Harry Partridge can go and get fucked.
Happy birfday Crappy! Is it really your birthday, because I don’t remember FaceBook alerting me to this.
Crap, I wanna do what you’re doing in 2 hours.
Why is the guy from Welcome Back, Kotter wearing a spotted mask?
Actual day is next Tues. We’d have gone next weekend but I’ve been to LV on St. Patricks day enough times.
UlaPy – Dude, only what 7ish hours up the road from ya?
Crap, I hope you can still enjoy your airhead after I shot you in the cock.
I mean that sincerely.
Yeah, it’s like an 8 hour drive.
Or an 8-ball drive. Depends how you measure YOUR time.
Happy noncrappy bday, Crappy. Get slaphappy and tap that non-chappie.
Dr. Manhattan looks like Tobias Funke

“Why is the guy from Welcome Back, Kotter wearing a spotted mask?”
Are you referring to Gabe Kaplan, Welcome Back Kotter’s Gabe Kotter?
That was awesome though it was more like a 90’s cartoon.
wow. That was something.
