WTF Chuck?!
Okay, my mind has been blown.
I have endured numerous childeren's programing since my son was born. Barny, Elmo, Yo Gabba Gabba, Backyardigans, The Wiggles....I get'em. Simple, basic, geared for kids, got it. But the recent discovery of The Adventures of Chuck & Friends has caused me to question way to many things.
At its base, the show is about anthropomorphic cars and trucks who have adventures and learn about life. But when you actually begin to look at this show you really begin to question things.
1. Chuck is a dump truck. His mother is a forklift and his father is a big rig. Let that sink in a second. Now I have to wonder about vehicular mating. I really can't imagine sex or reproduction, so how do they have a kid? Did they just go to a dealership and pick one out?
2. Chuck's mother works at a mechanic shop, which for a society of cars would make one assume it to be similar to a hospital. Yet in one episode Chuck needs to go to a doctor so his mother brings him to see an ambulance (doctor) AT A HOSPITAL! If they have doctors and hospitals, what the fuck is the mechanic for? Also, why couldn't his mother fix him is she is a mechanic?
3. Chuck and his friends are always building of doing something that would require hands and feet to accomplish, yet they always explain what they want to do, then cut to a finished product. How the hell do cars who have no arms, legs, hands or feet, build crate forts or sand castles?
I swear I can't stop thinking about the mind blowing questions about this show. My wife has tried to compare it to the logic and premise behind Spider-Man. A high school kid gaining the powers of a spider after being bitten by a radioactive spider makes perfect sence, especially compared to the mating rituals of tractor trailers.
