In the cartoons, Gomez was a Sicilian named Repelli. Networks objected.
Addams made the change in the TV show bible, where he described Thing as the Thing Under the Stairs, that was too shy to show itself, but wanted to help out wherever it could.

No, make it into 200 lbs. of tofu, first m.

With love from the Tofu-Eaters. 😈

C’mon, Barama—One pose with Maria, showing off your Oslo Bling…

You KNOW why, and you know who it’s for. 😈

Wait, Amazon CANCELLED a series??
I thought this was streaming, where ratings were imaginary, and you could greenlight a second season for your “hit” series before the first one aired!

😝

Especially since he was Morticia’s uncle, in the TV series.

And I’ll just slip in the Mandela Effect that Thing was never in Addams’ original cartoons, nor was it a disembodied hand. 😁

An early look at the World International Peace, Strength, and Really Neat Guy award, to be given to its first recipient at a ceremony in Mar-A-Lago next month:

Tell me they’re singing the Paul McCartney song. 🐸
If they aren’t, a more perfect historical opportunity will never come again. 😁

Yes—PLEASE download the CVS app and load your digital coupons, so we can permanently retire the “Mile-long CVS receipts” jokes that are about as fresh today as “12:00 on my VCR” jokes.

Always watch the cartoon, every year. 😁

(Oh, what? Reportedly, Ray was friends with Chuck Jones, and originally imagined the book hoping for a TV special.)

So, since he’s already posted the “I won it, in my imagination” meme, what do you think he’ll call the new award that he’ll make up and have presented to himself?

PS3 was about Sony introducing Blu-ray, and PS4 and 5 tried to roll out 4K UHD.
But gamers LITERALLY start talking about when improved graphics on the next console when the first one comes out….

…Old saying, “For the alcoholic, it’s always about the next drink, not the one in his hand.”

Yeah, but that was 10’s horror.

And then weird, pretentious, tribalistically artsy-farts 20’s horror had to come along and spoil the fun. ☹️

I’m guessing OTHER countries know who the heck this character is.
Hence our long term caring about the character past the trend.

And the scared ICE agents all passing the bucks to their senior officers.

"Whatsamatter, ya wall-crawling menace, don’t you like my Dr. Strange costume?"

Uh… "ICE doesn’t know any Broadway showtunes?"

(*ding!*)

Like, when they make persona performance-art videos on YouTube, for example.

Yes, and I find also insurance commercials insufferable, immature and narcissistically pushing their petty passive-hostilities on mine nonstop on every channel, so I’m now coming to honest grips with my secret repressed desire to sell Annuity policies. 🙄

One gets a feeling Jackson was - little TOO personally invested in what rough-hewn manly fellows the Dwarves were—
Hence his sense of priorities for the rest of the series. 🙄

Let’s just say Dr. Phibes wasn’t avenging the 23-yo. Brazilian salsa dancer he was sharing an apartment with in Cancun. 🙄

“When”? Trump’s been bouncing “Can I now, huh, can I, can I, can I? 🥹” up and down since the first administration.

And because they have to cattle-brand everything they personally like with “Secret subtext 🤭”, lest their insecurities be accused of liking the exact same thing as a million other Joe Shmoes for the exact same reasons.

And to think men have sexist stereotypes of women being “petty”…. 😼🙄

Wait, you saw a cereal commercial that was actually pitched to kids?
Haven’t seen those in years since they banned them! 🥲

Nowadays, Kellogg’s doesn’t have anyone to sell to except their regular customers, and Tony the Tiger is now selling Frosted Flakes to adult couch-potatoes.

“Line after line, round after round,
Empty shelves fall to the ground…”

Great, they’ll be easier to outrun.
