People in movies love to have some old public-domain cartoons on their TV at full blast.

The Wire, when they cut Superman out of Superman: The Mechanical Monsters to make it look like a generic giant robot cartoon

I know when my fatal diagnosis needs to be introduced to the plot I like to keep our kids occupied with their favorite cartoon: Ub Iwerks "Balloon Land" (1935)

I dunno, man. My neighbors in the real world love to blast The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy at volumes loud enough for me to hear all evening.

Or maybe I have ghosts. I dunno.

It's totally normal to only like music in the public domain

You've earned it king

corbinsmith.bsky.social•13 days ago

can't hear you. all I can hear is the thundering sound of my guys bopping around to a little string section and a clarinet

They should play those in doctor's waiting rooms instead of daytime TV.

lakeithseinfeldfit.bsky.social•12 days ago

mine all used to play home renno shows and then one day they were all switched to the equivalent of tv for your dog. It's just a couple of looping outdoor scenes w background noise. Have they considered silence?

Every one around my area just plays TV Land. So much Gunsmoke

robjackel.bsky.social•13 days ago

I spent way too much time in the waiting room of an ICE detention center and all they play is Good Morning America.

Oh god I’m so busted

Why not include one of the Three Stooges shorts that are in the public domain

nikomikiri.bsky.social•13 days ago

There’s a supernatural episode for that

Oh look at this guy who can afford content

punkoff.bsky.social•12 days ago

I do that, but not at full blast. Old movies, old cartoons, old pro wrestling. Great background noise.

Agree… films are poor now… no money for rights…

To be fair, it's not the worst activity one could be engaged in. As an old person, I would probably turn the volume down just a little bit though...

You get Skinamarinked?

davidjroth.bsky.social•13 days ago

That's personal

keyboardbrawl.bsky.social•13 days ago

Fair enough.

It's 2025 and if there's a football game on in the background, you better believe it's the Tampa Bay Bandits versus the Los Angeles Express from 1984.
