oscaralbert Review of Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports

Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports (1989 TV Short)

Paavo Nurmi once said that NO human being . . .

[7/10 · 14 January 2017]

. . . would EVER run six miles in less than thirty minutes, just because HE had tried to many times, and always failed. (Now, of course, each runner in the Lead Pack of any Major Men's Marathon Race easily accomplishes that feat back-to-back-to-back-to-back--plus 2.2 miles or one-third more than times four, ALL without ever stopping for rest!) I've personally tried to stay awake for EVERY MINUTE of that MGM exercise in Masochism for the Masses, GONE WITH THE WIND, and always failed, but that doesn't mean that I'd bet the farm that no one would EVER accomplish this dubious marathon effort! Warner Bros.' gang of perceptive Social Critics, the Looney Tuners of "Termite Palace," put Paavo "The Flying Finn" Nurmi in his place for his hubris by portraying a sound-alike lampooned version of him named "Pablo Nervy" as a quaking ski jumper (which is the ACTUAL national sport of Nurmi's native Finland) at the 1932 Lake Placid, NY, Winter Olympics, "conquering" a drop-off of about six inches! This all goes to prove that even in you hold 78 world track and road racing records, as did Nurmi, all you need to do is to slip up once and mouth off with a stupid remark, and the Looney Tuners will cut you down to size (even if it takes 54 years, until a compilation such as 1989's BUGS BUNNY'S WILD WORLD OF SPORTS). Just wait until these Cartooning Furies get wind of White House Resident-Elect Rump's ACCESS H0LLYWOOD tape!
