On Popeye
My friend and I were talk about how EVERY episode Popeye has to win Olivoil's affection. Then, the next day she's back with Bluto to start out. We were wondering WHY Popeye would put up with that shit. My buddy says it's cause Popeye was really ugly and couldn't get anyone else. I think it's ashame Popeye has such self-esteem issues.

1. Popeye gets none. That's why his forearms are so HUGH!

4. You know what, on second thought. FUCK THIS BULLSHIT

I used to have a paper-route when I was a kid. I would have to wake up before dawn and fold those fucking papers. At that time of day, they had the really old cartoons on, and I saw a shitload of popeye. Why should he put up with her shit. She's fucking flat as a board, has some damned kid in tow (And who the fuck is that little bastard's dad?), and like you said, she's always flirting with that over-grown bearded fucko even after he's harrassed and even tried to rape her. Popeye should kick her boney ass to the curb and go fuck Betty Boop.

5. Popeye suffers from low self-esteem because he was rejected by his father

7. Each episode is a parallel universe with no connection to the previous episode.
It's like the Iliad being written by the other blind poet named Homer.

10. Either that, or that's not really spinach they're eating.
Powerful herbal narcotics could explain the memory loss thing.

11. Many times she is first with Popeye then goes to Bluto who promptly tries to rape her.
And he chokes the shit out of her when she resists. Then Popeye rescues her in violent fashion and she comes to her senses. Olive is very fickle and very stupid apparently. Popeye is always selflessly trying to save her from herself.


Popeye the Sailor is a hilarious cartoon.

13. I love the early Popeye cartoons. Both the comic strip
and the movies. Wimpie is funny. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." The British call hamburgers "wimpies" because of him.

14. Popeye doesn't need Olivoil anymore
He owns a multi-Billion dollar chicken franchise now.
