I think That looks like an og Duncan freehand one to me ??? At least from what I can tell from the caps, but yet I could be wrong. It’s kinda hard to tell :thinking:

There’s a show in Netflix called Samurai Rabit
The rabbits second weapon is a yoyo…

I think @mable was correct with it being a Duncan Trans-Axtion. This scene came out the year before the first Freehand was released(2001). I initially thought it was a Freehand based on the caps too, but after looking it up I realized it was a little too early for that to be one.

How many “Crippling bouts of vertigo” before I can learn the invisible man?

That’s a cute cartoon. I hope I don’t loose all my friends though.

Tommy Smothers, and this is ancient history at this point.

Yo-yos in space is fun, but admittedly not “pop culture”.

Sorry, I thought you were referencing a TV called Arrested Development. One charcter is always talking about her crippling bouts of vertigo, and another has a book about “The Invisible Man Inside of Me.”

I assumed you were joking off that, sorry for the confusion.

Not totally relevant to the topic, but Yojinbo meaning bodyguard really opened the meaning behind Yojimbo in Final Fantasy :smiley: Cool little fact.

Just randomly loaded up this game I never played before. Atomic Betty for GameBoy Advance. The game sucks but this character’s idle animation is him throwing some kind of responsive yoyo and doing a little flourish.

Terrible movie….but YYWS yoyos and our wheel/anchor/waves logo was in “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.”

I wish it was a better movie. Then it would be cool. Oh well. I’ve been trying to convince Jules Jordan to use our stuff as props, but you know…kids and all.

Does anyone know if this is supposed to be a real trick. Reminds me of skin the cat almost.
