The Mugatu Conspiracy and my Presidential Endorsement

Mugatu

In case you haven’t been following this, Jimmy Kimmel has actually been funny lately. First there was the video from Jimmy’s girlfriend Sara Silverman where she told him, in song, that she was fucking Matt Damon.

Then Jimmy replied with his own video detailing his love affair, thru song, with Ben Affleck.

Here's the latest in the Matt Damon / Jimmy Kimmel feud:



3 a.m. - Random Conspiracy Theories

As managing editor of Basket of Puppies, and forever champion of the absurd, I hereby endorse Colonel Klink for President because there has never been a successful escape from stalag 13. (And not because he ruined monocles for everyone.) I think it’s perfectly rational to have a comedy set inside a German POW camp. What could be funnier? I’ll tell you. Carol Channing is much funnier. If only there was some way to combine the two.



I can’t write about Hogan’s Heroes without reminding everyone that this abomination of a show was broadcast for six seasons. A comedy set in a German POW camp? H.R. Pufinstuf made more sense. 6 years? The circle of weirdness doesn’t close until Colonel Hogan’s foray into amateur pornography. I didn’t understand until he was murdered. Mugatu!

In case you didn’t know, the American Colonel Klink is Colonel Blake. And Colonel Blake’s replacement, Harry Morgan is the reverse Dick Clark. - in that he looked like he was 80 when he was twenty. And we all know that the German Dick Clark is David Hasselhoff.

It all came together and made sense when Hasselhoff was singing ‘Looking for freedom’ on the Berlin wall. He was wearing the keyboard scarf exactly like the keyboard tie that Mugatu designed.



Mugatu. It all comes back to Mugatu. He’s behind all of this. Hogan’s Heroes. Dick Clark. Colonel Hogan’s home made porn. Sammy Davis Jr. on Batman:



It all makes sense now.



It was thru the Mugatu conspiracy that I was able to incorporate all of my favorite youtube clips into one post. You win this time Mugatu, but I’ll be back. I’ll be back.
