Life with Loopy - Big Burp Theory
KaBlam! S03E02 Money Train 2
Quickly
Loopy and Larry make first contact.
Thoughts and Details
The aliens are played by puppets with a kind of an Australian accent. It doesn't sound like any of the Australian podcasts I've listened to. The googly-type eyes in the puppets add a sense of motion when the the puppets aren't moving. The general style of these puppets resemble the previous puppets in Loopy and the Lost Voice and 20000 Leagues Under the Sofa but they're blue. The others had more human qualities like flesh tone skin and hair. It's a very mushy style of movement. The rest of the puppet is bouncy.
Here's something I always do when I rewatch animated shows. I look at a character other than the main focus. This can be especially uncanny when I watch shows with scenes in theaters or classrooms. The background characters often don't move or are off model. In Life with Loopy, this can be fascinating when a main character is sharing screen time with a puppet character.
Way Too Much Detail Recap
Larry apparently moonlights with SETI. He picks up a signal. Loopy slows down the message and hears it is a burp. Larry tries to communicate by talking. Loopy burps into the microphone. Extraterrestrials land in their backyard. The aliens share their Big Burp Theory of the origin of the universe. They party with Loopy and Larry and trash the house. Loopy is terrified when they explain they are going to call down their 50 billion people. These extraterrestrials are refugees from their trashed world. Tragedy is averted when Larry lets out a fart and they leave in disgust. The fart that saved the world.
