My head is in a bit of a yogurt cup right now, but don’t worry. I’ll get it out. Besides, my scarf looks amazing. Anyway, The Daily What describes what is happening in this video (after the jump):
A crafty gentleman by the name of Neil was casually viewing an old-school episode of Paramount’s Popeye cartoon when it occurred to him to slow down the audio track of a walk-on mouse character.
Much to his surprise, Neil discovered that the mouse’s heretofore nonsensical squeaks were, in reality, the rather crass in-studio yelps of director Isadore Sparber or animator Seymour Kneitel.
Good thinking, Neil. Very crafty. I was just saying to myself we need to slow this down (this=everything).
That is neat. Good find. Let’s bury it in the ocean to make sure it’s safe.

I was worried that this was going to be creepy…M. Night Shyamalan has ruined so much.
“It occurred to him to slow down the audio track of a walk-on mouse character”
Whoops, that’s your claim to fame Neil.
and if you speed up Popeye its Rachel Ray doing slam poetry.

Why?
when you zoom in, speed up x 10, and splice together x 100 popeye’s closed eye you see bluto getting all ken park (tennis match) while watching olive oyl getting a lower back tattoo of a corncob pipe. toot ! toot !
This guy knows what I’m talking about! This guy DEFINITELY knows what I’m talking about!
well put, paulmarko.

It’s like a little piece of history.
If you play it backwards, you get a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup.
And the Orson Welles Award for pissy voice acting goes to…
Finally, the final piece! Now Nicolas Cage can find the Book of Secrets.
Quip all you want, you guys, but *I* think this is cool.
I do too.
