Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

It's still nothing compared to Scratchpad Wiki, the only website where Bear, Fluttershy, Kermit the Frog, Tweety Bird and Batman all throw tantrums over old Barney VHS tapes and Thomas the Tank Engine toys.
Not only that, that same wiki has, among other things, Wade Duck and Homer Simpson throwing tantrums, a random list of dead people, Magical DoReMi pictures with unfitting names, and portrays Aloysius Pig from U.S. Acres as God. Yes, there's a VeggieTales parody on the website where they say that Aloysius Pig is God. Being a big Aloysius Pig fan, I found this funny and stupid at the same time.

Anyway, on the Oogieloves side of things, the invasion isn't over yet-the movie is now available for streaming on Amazon, VUDU and CinemaNow.
Want Oogieloves?


There. You have Oogieloves.
Wow. I'm surprised nobody posted this before...

I still want to know what my local movie theater did with that giant talking cardboard stand they had plugging this movie that was out for like 5 months before the movie came out. :cluck:
Talking cardboard stand? Do you have a video or picture of what it looked like?

(Sequel's in the works, coming sometime soon...) :smile:
I was cracking up the whole video, especially at the "I Love Sausage Patties" part.

Mmnnn! That's not right! That's 60 demerits!
I knew you would make this joke when I brought it up!
And now, an Oogieloves-related demerit joke related to this famous scene from the film:

GOOFY TOOFIE! PICK UP YOUR PANTS!
"Showing your underwear in front of preschoolers, that's disgusting! 100 demerits!"
There are tie-in products now. God save our souls.

Believe it or not, these were actually given to a few parenting blogs with preschoolers as part of the "Rated GGG" campaign to increase hype for the movie. Those blogs either attended one of the early screenings of the film or one of the Oogieloves summer camps they had this summer and got all of these goodies, along with one pack of goodies that one lucky blog reader from each blog would receive this prize package. Who knows if anyone actually won one of these sets...

To be honest, those didn't look professional enough to be licensed purchasable merchandise. A plain white frizbee? That's something you give out at festivals to grow awareness of your product. Usually health care providers. That kiddy habit trail looks like it has cheaply silk screened movie scenes on them. Nothing impressive enough for me to sound the cause for alarm. Something tells me the only people who would purchase Oogielove merchandise are people who would buy it ironically.

I remember the Boohbah stuff not moving at all. Can't say this is much of an improvement.

Still, you have to wonder if this film's going to find its audience on home video. That seems to be a much better venue for something like that. I hate to say it, but if this guy showed just a bit of restraint and just released it to home video in the first place in hopes of building a DTV movie empire, there might have been potential for this to make money instead of being a laughing stock. Perish the thought, of course.

I saw 10 copies of it at a different WalMart I went to, RIGHT NEXT TO ANIMANIACS AND MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!
Luckily, I saw the trailer for this once with no sound during Katy Perry: Part of Me. And then I saw another trailer at WalMart.
Also, I found an article on the creator of Oogieloves from 2002:
