Popeye: Wellington Wimpy
built 636 days ago
Description: Bluto is suing Popeye - anf Wimpy is the judge. Bluto comes in all bandaged up in a wheelchair and recounts how Popeye kicked his butt. Popeye has a different story of the events. Some pretty silly court related puns await you.
In 2001, Popeye (along with Bluto, Olive, and twin Wimpys) appeared in a television commercial for Minute Maid Orange Juice. The commercial, produced by Leo Burrnett Co, showed Popeye and Bluto as friends (and neglecting Olive Oyl) due to their having had Minute Maid Orange Juice that morning. The ad agencies intention was to show that even the famous enemies would be in a good mood after their juice, but some, including Robert Knight of the Culture and Family Institute, felt the commercial's intent was to portray the pair in a homosexual romantic relationship -- an allegation that Minute Maid denies. Knight was interviewed by Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central's The Daily Show over this issue.
Description: Popeye the sailor man opens a diner and the Bluto opens his diner across the street. A long drawn out fight over their single customer - Wimpy, who offers to pay them Tuesday.
