Surely, someone with better writing skills than I should be able to come up with something funny using "boop" and "snoot."

I'mma boop you!

*BOOP*

Boop!

I can think of at least 1 million, 345 thousand and...

Should we add on to that list? I'll go first.

When Betty Boop AND Betty White were both hot at the same time!
...

Totally, but I'm kinda getting stale on this "Betty Boop" she's been affecting in the last few videos.

29:29: Let's have a happy little tree right in here. And we'll make his little trunk here. There he goes. Doot oot boop boop boop.

She looks like a live Betty Boop.

you know its real because the computer makes beep boop noises!

Comedy timing > Arbitrary contemporisation


The moment of static (esp the hiss sound) creates a naturalistic feeling pause/reset between each unrelated snippet of humour. A "comedy beat" if you will.

If this video was edited with the smooth silent transition one gets with modern digital broadcast it would detract significantly from the overall effect i.e. beat, reset, beat, reset, beat etc.....

Analogue static does this job beautifully and despite being dated is still almost universally understood/recognised by viewers. Perhaps another less anachronistic technique might have worked (with "boop" noises or something) but the fact remains that this whole static thing does the job wonderfully (for most of us anyway).

It's not "dumbass" when it works this well and the last 70-80 years of visual media didn't just disappear from the cultural memory when digital came along.

If you think you can do better then be my guest, maybe you might find a way that's even funnier and changes peoples attitude. Until then the artistic choices of others stand on their own merits and personally I can't think of an editing technique that would fit this style of vid better.


In summary, it's comedy not a documentary and out of place anachronism is a well practised and successful comedy technique (i.e. the very fact its so out of place is part of the reason its so funny). Why does that bother you so much???

*promote boop, oop, and doop.

I favor betty boop video and pics !

Legendary nose boop.

--touch-- Gimme that bowl

--drag-- Hey that's my bowl

--tug-- No, my bowl.

--snatch-- Look, other cat, I was here first.

--boop-- Don't make me get physical here.

--bat-- Take that, you. My food. Mine.

--whap-- Get OUT.

--slash-- How'd you like THAT?

...and this goes on for a while until they start reaching for weapons and I get to use the sound effect...
