Life with Loopy - Kung Fu Loopy - Toonstalgia

Life with Loopy - Poultry Themed Comedians on Ice

KaBlam! S02E10 Cramming Cartoons Since 1627

Quickly

Loopy and Larry go to see Charlie Chicken do Kung Fu on Ice.

Thoughts and Details

How many kids do you think understood the "Flan 9 from Outer Space" joke?

I subscribed to Nickelodeon Magazine for years including when I watched KaBlam!. I wish I still had my issues or a convenient way to see the issues again or could at least get a trade paperback of the outstanding comic section. One comic I loved was the Southern Fried Fugitives, about a bucket of vivified chicken parts. Charlie Chicken always makes me think of them. 

KaBlam! featured Action League Now in every episode. I like Action League Now. The best part of those shorts was the voice work by the WDVE radio personalities. I still have my fast food Meltman action figure. I love the way his base is designed to look like a puddle of melted Meltman. I like the expert simplicity of the shorts. All of that being said, Life with Loopy ranks higher than Action League Now for me. 

This episode of Life with Loopy is a strong example of why this series is good. It's not all about Loopy. This is a Larry centric episode. She makes a scene at the show but most of the episode is dedicated to Larry's passion. 

Way Too Much Detail

Larry is passionate about martial arts and the Charlie Chicken show. He's thrilled when the Kung Fu themed Charlie Chicken road show is announced. In the lead up, he gets more and more psyched until his mom says he has to bring Loopy. He takes Loopy to the show. She starts shouting at the chicken after she gets a whipped cream pie to the face and it gets all over her dress.  She gets pulled out of the audience as a volunteer. Things go bad when the chicken is knocked unconscious by a frozen pie. Loopy has a solution, her brother Larry. He takes over the roll and has a blast in the chicken suit.
