Pingu - Gogs - Laughter

While watching the film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh I entered into a conversation with the wife and her carer about the film and the fact I love old Disney films. I was reminded that I would use my baby sister as a Trojan horse so I could watch them in the cinema.

The carer reminded me of pingu and that brought back the memory of the episode in which pingu had to rush home for the toilet because he has drunk too much.

When he gets home his brother was on the potty and his father is in the bathroom, and when he does get in the toilet, it's simply too high and he ends up weeing all over the floor. At this time, I had rolled off the settee in laughter and I think I scared my kids.

One of the plus sides of being a house-husband you got time to watch shed loads of kid shows.


However the daddy of all laughter fits happen during an episode of ‘Gogs’ which revolves around a family clan of dumb, primitive and socially inept cavemen in a fantasy prehistoric Stone Age setting. Made in Wales commissioned for the Welsh TV channel S4C later to get a national airing on BBC2. So what got me rolling in the aisle in my greatest bout of laughter, an episode called, The Hunt.

We find Oglas (Father) and Ogo (Son) setting off on a hunting trip they come across a Therizinosaur eating leaves. Ogles goes in for the kill only to step on some worm creature, which gives out a loud scream alerting the Therizinsaur to which all hell breaks loose. The dinosaur turns out to be the Bruce Lee of the Stone Age more than proficient in the act of martial arts. I just couldn’t stop laughing for most of that day even going to bed laughing. Think about it there was never a dry eye in the house while we were watching Gogs.
