Hi everyone, welcome to #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales. We're watching "The Wonderful World of Autotainment" (2003) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW5QYGndZns …—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
they're about to do the veggietales theme song & Larry says NO he's not doing it. Instead, they are going to the future~~~~ #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Larry says the future is unexpected, and comedy is funny because it's unpredictable #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
In the future, entertainment will be RANDOMLY GENERATED #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
@pnumber628 Sort of like humor bots on Twitter! How prescient.—Ahab (@Ahab_Of_Gilead) 2018-03-26
Larry introduces us to 2 robots who tell jokes with randomly-generated punch lines #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Bob says no, jokes are supposed to be funny because they're TRUE, not just made up randomly #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
what even is this—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26

A performer will be chosen at random, and also a random topic & music genre #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
"The future is now, the future is now" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26

They're singing "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea"—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
it's a great song :) #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
so like is this episode supposed to be teaching a Christian morality lesson or is it just, like, weird? #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
i'm so confused—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26

#PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
I feel like i would be better able to enjoy VeggieTales "The Wonderful World of Autotainment" if I had some expectations of what it was #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
like so far i love the songs & characters but like........... wtf #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
oooh the robots are starting to make (corny) jokes that make sense & aren't randomly generated #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
and now a random short film: "Lunch: An Animated Parable" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
animation style for this bit is way different #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/LiyZ9NpZLz—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
it's a person and dog eating lunch on a park bench. they see an ad for some... meat snack bar? #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
the person is trying to buy it from a vending machine #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
vending machine won't spit it out. guy punches vending machine #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
vending machine falls on him. but at least he got the.... candy bar? #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
oh no, a passing bird pooped on it right before he was about to eat it. the end. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
YESSSSSS now Archibald is going to sing "I am the very model of a modern major general" this is awesome #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
i love Archibald #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
i need to write some VeggieTales fanfiction about Archibald Asparagus #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
uh now the 2 robots are arguing #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Bob tries to get Larry to intervene & deal with the robot conflict #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Larry starts performing the song "You are my sunshine" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
aww so sweet—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
"You'll never know, friends, how much I love you
You have been my sunshine today" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales

flag on the play
#PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
awww seems like the 2 robots made up <3 #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Next is an aardvark singing opera.—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
What, this is not a vegetable. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales pic.twitter.com/akYC4xYAqb
wtf just happened #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
now the little robot is all lovey. Larry's like, oh no, maybe it's because he's experiencing RANDOMLY GENERATED EMOTIONS #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Next is Pa Grape performing the Erie Canal song. I love this song! #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
"And every inch of the way I know,—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
From Albany to Buffalo" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
"Low bridge, everybody down—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Low bridge, cuz we're comin' to a town" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
now the small robot is crying for no discernable reason #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
suddenly the small robot is hitting the big robot #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Bob comes out to put a stop to all of it. Randomly generated jokes, randomly generated emotions- no! The future is cancelled! #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Bob says "where's the lesson?"—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Larry says "I know something we learned!" and brings Junior in to sing a song #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
Junior sings "in my bed I start to pray and tell God all about my day" #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
oh god i suddenly have all the exvangelical feels—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
"your love was with me all throughout my day" i wish i could believe that #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
the 1st verse is about how Junior was good all day, the 2nd verse says oh actually he was kind of naughty, forgot to make his bed, drew on the walls, etc #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
but the point is god still loves him all the time #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Bob: "You're right, we did learn something today. God loves us no matter what." #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
saying goodbye to the future #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
all right that was the end of VeggieTales "The Wonderful World of Autotainment." Let's discuss #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Well, seems like they just threw this episode together without putting that much thought into it #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
like it's a bunch of unrelated songs (which already existed, they're not indigenous veggietales songs), and a few short films that played around with other animation styles #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
...placed into this larger story arc of Larry trying to convince us that "the future" is about "randomly generated" entertainment #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
i... just.. what #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
In the end, the robots get all glitchy & Bob puts a stop to the whole thing #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
then Junior sings a song abt how God's love was with him all the time- when he is good & when he's not that good—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
then Bob sums up by saying God still loves them even though the "random entertainment of the future" thing didn't work out #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
sooooooooooooooo—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
i mean, one might say that "God loves us no matter what" was the lesson they were teaching, but, like, that just popped up in the last 5 minutes, that's not really what the whole thing was about #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales
the whole thing didn't really have a lesson #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
...unless we're supposed to conclude that Larry did a bad thing by getting caught up in a new trend full of buzzwords? #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
like there might have been a bit of "be suspicious of things that are new & different" in here #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Anyway, at the end they explicitly said the lesson is that God always loves us. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
All right let's sum up. VeggieTales "The Wonderful World of Autotainment" was WEIRD. Like the creators were just throwing a bunch of stuff together that didn't fit in any other episode. #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Didn't really have a clear lesson ("God always loves us" was just kind of shoehorned in at the end) but actually for me that's a good thing bc a lot of the veggietales lessons are sort of ... morally suspect #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
Anyway, it's VeggieTales, so the songs are fantastic, characters are fantastic, humor is brilliant ("randomly selecting a performer" by spinning a giant wheel that the veggies are literally STRAPPED TO is HILARIOUS) #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
And on a personal note, Junior's song about "your love was with me all throughout my day" gave me ALL THE FEELS #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
like you know i have a lot of issues with Christianity & i wish i could go to church but i can't bc of mental health reasons (& i believe in a God who believes that my mental health MATTERS) #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
... but you start talking about the incarnation, Emmanuel, God with us, ah i believe that so hard <3 #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
All right that's all I got, thanks for tuning in to #PerfectNumberWatchesVeggieTales <3—Perfect Number (@pnumber628) 2018-03-26
