Otter Tummies

January 26th, 2007

Now, I’m no fan of “South Park,” but I do credit them with recognizing that there is some kind of inherent humor in an otter saying “tummy” in a faux-British accent. They must have recognized it, because they did it twice, in two different episodes. I do NOT recommend watching the episodes, as they are extremely offensive and tasteless, but you can see the otter portions at Cute Otters.

These episodes aired towards the end of last year, but I was reminded of them because Cute Otters just posted a photo of a grumpy-looking otter with the caption, “I shall smash your skull like a clam on my tummy!” (a line I’ve been repeating to the world at large for a couple of months now). It would have been more appropriate in combination with a sea otter, of course, but it’s still amusing.

The other “South Park” otter-tummy line is well worth some chuckles, too: “They [humans] are not a logical race, Wise One! They go around chopping down trees for tables when they have perfectly good tummies to eat on. How logical is that?”

Indeed.
