ウゴウゴルーガ - Best Children's Show Ever

Hi Blog,

This has been another obsession of mine. The best children's show ever made: Ugo Ugo Ruga. Yes, I've mentioned it before-- in fact all of those crazy poo and tape worm videos you've enjoyed were part of this insane children's TV show from the early 90s. (Eat your heart out Peewee!) Don't believe me? Look I'll show you.

Here's, like, the weirdest Kaiju opening ever made for a TV show. Ever.



How was that? Okay, so here's another opening to the show. It's kind of hard to make out here, but yes, the people at the bar are eating Yakitori humans prepared by the robot chef. Oh, and the Kaiju Onna from the first clip is sitting at the bar in this Yakitori shop, eatin' her supper.

Did I mention that this was for kids?



Oh yeah-- before I forget, here's one more; this time with a Yakuza Chinpira eating cake with animals in a ginger bread house before driving away into the sky with rainbows coming out of his sweet ride.



Holy. Fucking. Shit.

♪愛に生きる人～ MIKAN SEIJIN and ANIKI!!

It's Tuesday again, so here's the requisite video weirdness from Ugo Ugo Ru-ga (ウゴウゴルーガ). (See previous posts here and here.)

This time out we have an eye blistering 9 minute 33 second blast of an Alien from the Planet Tangerine (aka. ミカンせいじん MIKAN SEIJIN) and ANIKI (あにき)! Not much to explain here; do what you need to do and take what you need to take to appreciate the psychedelic weirdness of it all.

Sanada Sensei! (サナダせんせい) A Tapeworm's Philosophical Advice Straight from the Butthole!

It wasn't meant to be this formal, but it's been a week since I made the Puri Puri Hakase post and that means that it's time for more anally obsessed Japanese children's cartoons! (Hooray!!)

Yet another animated interlude on the long canceled children's TV show Ugo Ugo Ru-ga (ウゴウゴルーガ), Sanada-sensei is a tapeworm (sanada means tapeworm in Japanese) that comes out of the butthole of our mysterious host to impart profound philosophical insights to all the little Japanese boys and girls.



In this clip Sanada-sensei imparts this profound observation: "You cannot make good choices when you're young and you also can't when you're old. -Pascal." He then zips back in the anus exclaiming effeminately (as if sniffing a flower), "Wonderful!"

Woah.

PURI PURI HAKASE (プリプリはかせ) - Daily Inspiration from a Talking Turd!!

'Only in Japan!!' as the well-worn expression goes.

An animated interlude on the long canceled children's TV show Ugo Ugo Ru-ga (ウゴウゴルーガ) -- backwards word play on Go Go Girl -- Puri Puri Hakase (プリプリはかせ) is a talking turd that rises up out of a toilet bowl to give the happy little children of Japan a few choice words of inspiration. What better way to start their little days?



For the Japanese challenged, this one says: "You can still look cool doing something UN-cool, as long as you try your best." Nice. (I wish I had this sort of TV parenting when I was a wee-lad.) Link(J).
