Goofy Inspiration (pun intended)

Hi there,

Thought I'd share this since things have been so quiet lately. I just wanted to recommend the following cartoon for those of an extremely silly inkling. It's Disney's Dave the Barbarian. (Of course you have to include the word Disney in the title). I have to say that this is one of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen. It's set in an extremely faux medieval/dark ages setting and involves the exploits of an extremely unlikely bunch of barbarians. Just as two examples of the extremely silly humour involved when a barbarian lad turns 16 he has to go through his Rite of Pillage and when they have to fight some invisible warriors they're called (what else?) the Invisigoths. Well worth watching. It airs on Family Channel in Canada and the Disney Channel (d'uh) in the US. Don't know about overseas I'm afraid. The main reoccuring baddie is Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy.

It's very silly but extremely funny. For more info:

Have a good one,
