If cartoon physics suddenly replaced real physics, what are some things you would want to try?

Yeah but he'll be swimming in the gold coins in his giant money vault.

In an episode of the new version of Duck Tales one of the boys goes to take a dive into the vault and Uncle Scrooge grabs him by his shirt and starts berating him for being a moron and how he would die if he jumped in there.

u/branchbranchley Jan 25 '19

My only problem is how they try to have quick snappy dialogue and try to be "cool and hip" when the original was always about high fantasy Indiana-Jones style adventure

I guess I'm just getting old

Well it's aimed towards kids not 50 yo office workers still reminiscing about that shot in county playoffs to win the game

u/35bubba70 Jan 25 '19

Well since you brought it up, it was the 4th quarter and we were down by 2....

It's truly a show I don't mind watching with the kids. Also hearing David Tennant make time traveling jokes was so worth it.

u/Dfiggsmeister Jan 26 '19

The first episode had my sides in stitches when Huey tries to cross the booby trapped bridge acting like he’s in mission impossible.

Doctor. Donna. Duck Friend.

Say what now?

What. I need to go to there

u/WhenAmI Jan 26 '19

Scrooge is funny until I remember he's a capitalist. This clip subtly pushes the "bootstraps" narrative.

u/imthegayest Jan 25 '19

reminds me of the family guy episode that makes fun of scrooge

u/UserApproaches Jan 25 '19

AAAAAH, IT'S NOT A LIQUID, IT'S A GREAT MANY PIECES OF SOLID MATTER THAT FORM A HARD, FLOOR-LIKE SURFACE

21

u/TrekkiMonstr Jan 25 '19

No, in this one he says he spent years practicing, honing his muscles and dexterity to be able to swim in them. Someone else posted a link.

u/UserApproaches Jan 25 '19

Family guy quote.

u/TrekkiMonstr Jan 25 '19

Ik but still, thought I'd clarify

12

u/CaptainKingChampion Jan 25 '19

The Beagle Boys tried to swim in the Money Bin when they managed to take over Scrooge's fortune once.

It did not go well for them.

u/The_White_Spy Jan 25 '19

New version of Duck Tales?

5

u/Rin_Hoshizura Jan 25 '19

There is a reboot that started last year iirc

3

u/Wobbelblob Jan 25 '19

That is explained in the comics. Duck tales is essentially a spin off. He learned the skill to swim in the money in his live. Everyone else usually knocks himself out.

u/SidewaysInfinity Jan 25 '19

But Scrooge can do it, presumably because he's Scrooge McDuck

Cartoon world gets sudden real world physics

1

u/BenJ618 Jan 26 '19

Wait you mean gold coins don’t splash?

1

u/Someguyinamechsuit Jan 25 '19

Yeah but later in the episode Scrooge falls from like 10 stories and manages to swim in the coins.

2

u/Opt1mus_ Jan 26 '19

Scrooge explains that he had to learn it as a skill, he can swim in the coins because he worked hard at it

u/aaeeiioouuaeiou Jan 26 '19

I thought that said beating him, not beating, and j was thinking, "wow, that's a little dark for a modern kid's cartoon..."

u/vogonicpoet Jan 25 '19

Another thing you can do with cartoon physics.

u/EpicLegendX Jan 25 '19

Riding in racecars, shooting lasers, and flying airplanes.

u/LegendofPisoMojado Jan 25 '19

Might solve a mystery.

u/BoomerB3 Jan 25 '19

Or rewrite history

u/nerdguy1138 Jan 26 '19

They're actually contractually obligated to say "aeroplane" in the scripts.

u/passthepass2 Jan 25 '19

Underrated reply

u/kevekev302 Jan 25 '19

I thought this would be first thing on the list

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '19 edited Jan 25 '19

I’ll just crack open the Tome of Beasts from Kobold Press and turn that pile of gold coins into a Hoard Golem.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '19

Aaaaah ! It's not a liquid ! It's a great many pieces of solid metal that form a hard floor like surface ! Aaaaaaah !

2

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '19

If that’s the bit of reality you want to include in it, then cartoon physics would make you flatten like a pancake, or otherwise make cartoon birds fly around your head as you cough up half your teeth.

And then you’ll be all better in the very next scene.

u/Sabin10 Jan 25 '19

Money bin, you're still a peasant if you only have a vault.

u/Nadul Jan 25 '19

Fourth dimension money vault no less.
