Meet the Fuccons : 3 of 5
1.17.2006 8:30 PM \| Link	After laughing my head off at Super Fun Monkeybash recently, I was glad to see that this series (known as Oh! Mikey in Japan, and The Fuccons in America) is coming out on DVD (it has been out on pricey import DVD for quite a while, but now it's being released in the US). This DVD is an "introduction" to the series, with only eight episodes (each is about 3-5 minutes) at the bargain retail price of six bucks (but I found mine at the mall for $3.00!). This is definitely a love it or hate it show, consisting of mostly still shots of funny looking mannequins with really fast and hilarious Japanese voice-overs. It's supposed to be an American family living in Japan, so the characters have these bizarre positions with huge grinning faces (which look even funnier when all of them have a huge laugh, which they do at the end of nearly every scene). Of course, it's great to see these stiff figures playing on a swing set, or even going down a playground slide! Each episode usually has Mikey and his parents in a bizarre situation, like being haunted by a ghost or seduced by a school tutor. The Japanese is a blast for me to listen to, so I like this show for multiple reasons. If you like totally off-the-wall stuff, you should definitely check out this cheap DVD. Labels: dvds
