My little brother doesn't understand the reference

>>93681960
Take him out of the gene pool.

You should show him the Wachowski Sisters' movie.

>>93681960
the show originally aired over fifty years ago, and has had minimal presence since then.

>>93681960
Yeah, it's terrible how a reference that was for children who watched Speed Racer on Cartoon Network somehow isn't got by children who never watched Speed Racer.

>>93681960
Go back in time and punch your dad in the balls there problem solved.

>>93682883
born in '91 and i know what speed racer is

>>93682930
Don't forget to go just back enough in time so that you don't exist either.

>>93682883
They reran it all the way into the early 00's in the US, even had a few attempts at revivals during the 90's and 00's, and there was a movie that came out just a few years ago.

>>93683077
>and there was a movie that came out just a few years ago.
nearly a decade ago

>>93681960
WHEELS!

>>93681960
Speed racer never aired in my country and was unheard of in the USSR as well. The first time I heard about it was when they released the live action movie.

>>93682941
Good for you I guess bud?

Born in 85 and only know about Speed Racer because of that episode. I'm from Europe, though, so that might be the reason I've never heard of it.

I remember when they used to run Speed Racer on MTV of all places.

You should work on that

The only reason kids got the joke when that episode originally aired was because Cartoon Network still played Speed Racer as filler during the late-night hours. I'm not surprised modern kids don't get it.

>>93684082
Speed Network also aired it for a while. I only know this because people used to bring it up when talking about random networks trying to start anime blocks.

>>93684082
>Speed Racer on MTV
That explains that weird music video from the 90's
https://youtu.be/JmVu-1ZW3_A

I only know about it because when I was a little kid we rented the speed racer movie from Blockbluster it was one of those things they had at the end of the movie.

>>93682404
Wait, 'sisters?'

>>93687131
both are trans

>>93681960
im gonna do it guys

is that a jojo reference?

>>93687533
Is transgenderism fucking viral or something?

>>93687646
no? why would you assume that?
chill out

>>93687679
So it's genetic?

>>93687747
or, you know
both had similar lives
or one helped the other realise
or good ol' fashioned coincidence

>>93687791
Maybe transgenderism is memetic?

A psychic disease that can spread from one person to the next in the form of an idea.

>>93687747
Yeah, most mental illnesses have a notable genetic component

>>93681960
Then go watch the show together,I´m sure he will appreciate the uncensored death of all those drivers.

>>93687839
why do you assume it's a disease

>>93688208

I can't believe how high the body count is in a racing anime.

>>93682883
born in 99' and even i know about the wacky races

>>93687679

>>93688316
because it is

>>93688341
Yeah, I love it. that how 5 years old me learned about mortality.
Very disappointed that the movie showed all the characters surviving the crashes on those weird foameggs.

>>93688316
I have dysphoria because the chemicals in my brain are messed up. It's a disorder

I have 2 box sets of this show

I barely understood the reference when this first aired. Speed racer wasnt exactly primetime showing during that time. It was either really late in the night or on during school hours

>>93687646
It's the hip thing to do nowdays!

You're too normal to be here.

Wasn't that done after situations like his brother "dying"

How to make people feel old:
1. Ask what something is.
2. Remind them when things they enjoy happened.

>>93691139
I don´t know, in the old show most cars clearly crash and explode with the drivers inside. The movie whent out of its way to show the racers jumping out of their cars before crashing or being save by the weird buble thing that worked like airbags. It feel like the old hulk movie where Hulk didn´t kill anyone even when he clearly should have.

>>93691228
>The movie whent out

>>93687533
How about that.

>>93681960
I love how meta Cartoon Network got back in the day. It had a fucking animated ecosystem, or at least felt like it.

>>93688316
To be fair, it does seem to cause nothing but discomfort and suffering everywhere it pops up. Getting rid of it completely would be a total net gain for everyone.

I didn't get the reference back when I watched it.

I have no idea where you guys watched Speed Racer, but it was all Scooby Doo, Pepper Ann, Animaniacs and shit before I watched Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network used to air old Speed Racer back where I used to live.
