YouTube is a very useful tool for fandom. If you need to find anything, with a bit of a look, you can find it. In addition to videos of dogs just yelping, your childhood can be reclaimed, even if you don't know that it is there to find. Today, let's look at the show Orson's Farm aka U.S. Acres. The show was actually a segment on the series Garfield and Friends. When I was younger it was the time I would go and get some toast. Now that I'm younger, I realize that it was a bit more mature than I remember. We had arguments on existentalism, censorship, politics, and enviromentalism ("The sky is falling!" "I knew it! ALL this tampering with the O-Zone layer!")
This particular episode is known as Déjà Vu and it pretty much sums up what I was just saying.
Yeah, we got existentalism and doubts about the very substance of reality as seen in the antics of a cartoon pig and his pals. Add in a bit of thought on the Aristotilian Unities and we got a winner.
Our other example, Kiddie Korner, is all about censorship. It also starts out with a scene of the cast re-enacting Doctor Zhivago. Yeah, it kind of rocks like that.

Crazy Crap From Japan
I cannot say enough that most of the weird crap from Japan that I've seen on YouTube is proof positive that radiation sickness can lead to insanity. Now, if you grew up in the early 90's, you were, no doubt, exposed to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. As we all know, it was actually largely taken off of a Japanese show. The name of the show was Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and today we have a clip from said program which features the villains going into a song and dance number. Yeah, this still looks better than Spongebob.
The main villain of the season, The Witch Bandora (aka Rita Repulsa to the the fans of MMPR) had a theme song which she decides to sing. If that's not enough, about 0 episodes later, she decides to sing the song again with a A Chorus Line inspired dance at then end. This is also all done while bringing her palace, which is ontop of a Skycraper for some odd reason, into the middle of downtown Tokyo. Take a Look:
