Histeria


© Nicholas Bittner

Histeria is a new type of cartoon. It takes you back through time and views history as a cartoon. There is a very large cast, and they use various side shows, news briefs, and they twist around the facts to add little people and cartoons to make it funnier and more interesting. I wouldn't exactly call it lying, more like stretching the facts. Luckily, you can easily tell what the fake cartoons are.

The cast of characters vary, from little kids to very old adults. I think that the funniest ones are Worlds Oldest Woman, the four Big Fat Baby's, Toast, Froggo, Pepper Mills, Lucky Bob and Miss Information. Worlds Oldest Woman is a smart mouthed, candy loving character. She supposedly is as old as time, and she knew all the famous people like Christopher Columbus, Eric the Red, John Tesh, and Michael Jackson. The four Big Fat Baby's are the comedy relief. Their humor is rather crude, but entertaining. Toast is a preteen who is the sterio type teenager. His vocabulary mostly consists of 'Rad,' 'Narley,' 'Tubular' and 'Rocks.' In the show, it say's he wants to drive a Harley, and nothing would really get his attention or disturb him, even if Godzilla, an army or Michael Jackson were attacking. Froggo is a kid of about 7, and has a VERY deep voice. On the shows about inventors, he asks for strange things like a staple gun and a cantaloupe, or some paste, a sausage, and a bunsen burner. Pepper Mills is everybody crazy. On the shows she runs up screaming for the special guests autographs, then says something like "Hey, your not Polly Sheur!" Or when she gets George Washingtons autograph, she say's "Your not Michael Jackson! Ripoffsky." Lucky Bob is, well, not-quite-right-in-the-head. When Cho Cho, his friend or sister (I'm not sure which) talks about how he got that way, she usually says something like "When he was very young he was kicked in the head by donkeys." When the person who she's talking two ask why he's called Lucky Bob after that, she responds: "Lately, no donkeys!" Lucky Bobs vocabulary mostly contains 'Yepnow, You are correct sir, and Hi oh!" Miss Information is her name. Mostly what she gives is MISinformation! She say's that George Washington was named after the Washington monument, and that a Fresca is a soda.

The episodes take you through different times, and the ones they use most often are the American Revolution, the American Civil War (The War Between the States), Tribute to Tyrants and Ancient Rome and Greece. They have about three or four episodes each for the American Revolution and the Civil War. Each one has interesting facts that not many people know. Histeria also throws in some fiction, which can easily be seen. The ones that are the funniest are the ones that are fake commercials, such as getting a CD with the greatest hits of the sixties. The eighteen sixties that is.
