TV My New Favorite Show: Gimme Gimme Octopus!
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 2:28 PM
Sure, Battlenerd Gaspastica is returning on January 16, and Lost is back January 21—but F-bomb them! I have a new favorite show—a 25 year old Japanese kids program entitled "Kure Kure Takora," which loosely translates to "Gimme Gimme Octopus." See, it's about this octopus and his friend… I think it's a gourd or maybe a peanut… and they meet up with a computer who eats garlic, and… OH! I almost forgot about the ghost with a butcher knife, and… ah, screw it. Just watch.

I saw some of this show once on a found footage DVD compilation I rented from the bizarre section at Movie Madness. It's great!
So, is there a mandate to keep this blog at least 50% full of content found on Buzzfeed.com ?
Seen them all....like 5 years ago, but still good.
Chombo is a squash...and Tororo (the spirit) has many more evil tricks...like the vinegar spraying shower on his head.
Yeah, last saw Kure kure takora about 10 years ago--a total classic with an awesome theme song. Tororo's vinegar sprayer was indeed amazing.
