09/29/2003: New Article: Krang Goes Babysitting!

Ever wondered what would happen if Krang, the evil pink brain from Dimension X, was roped into babysitting half of the Marvel Universe? Click here to find out! When you’re done, do me a favor and pay a little visit to Play Along Toys, who were nice enough to send me some packages of the “Marvel MiniMates” figures, free of charge. Enjoy!

Yer a fuckin’ genius Matt. I laughed my ass of when Elektra said she had cancer. Does that make me a bad man?

Those marvel things are called Minimates.
They have made Ultimate spiderman as well as the ultimate x-men.
They rock, i work for Art Asylum/Play Along

glad you enjoyed them Matt

Thanks Beatnik!

I get it now, I just wasn’t reading carefully enough. I thought it said GENETIC whispering, but in reality it says GENERIC whispering. I guess I just wasn’t paying attention.

I am no longer confused, but I feel dumber. Thanks for pointing it out though. I will try to improve my reading skills so you don’t have to explain obvious stuff to me again.

Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is American Maid’s real name Jane? Did I miss that episode of The Tick? I just looked on a Tick website and they just listed her name as American Maid. I’ll do some more investigation on this (but I don’t know why I’m wasting my time). And maybe it’s just that I don’t know Marvel comics, but why does Dr. Octopus look like a girl? Was that some plot twist DC guys like myself aren’t privy to?

Krang

Ghosted by FireFly @ 09/30/2003 11:13 PM EDT

I can’t say for sure, but I’m pretty sure Octy was all man. The figure, it seems, had feminine eyes, and with a high hair style, it resembled one, so Matt stuck that in there.

Also, the Daredevil running into a wall thing was the most pointless and hilarious thing ever.

Ghosted by Saf @ 10/01/2003 6:43 AM EDT

That was good. My favorite part, was when Venom got bored.

Ghosted by Thanos @ 10/01/2003 7:41 AM EDT

Oh. My. God.

I’ve loved X-E for about two years now, but THAT was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. The picture of Venom holding DD’s head on a stick saying, "He got out of line." is the fucking greatest thing EVER. I *have* to get that put on a t-shirt or something, yo.

That’s the last time I let Krang borrow my body. He promised lots of pain before anyone died…But NOOOOO!!!! There wasn’t much pain at all, damn him!!! That’s ok, I’m not gonna demand my body back until after he’s done with the wife, TEE HEE HEE.

Bang up job. You really put the particular traits of them figures to their use.

Long time reader/First time poster.

I really enjoy this site, and I especially love the action figure stories. This latest one had me doubled over in laughter. I’d like to get some of these Marvel MiniMates, but I’ve only seen them at one place in my area, and the asking price ain’t worth it. They are cool-looking though, and it was a smart move for the company to actually give you free toys to plug on your site, Matt. Your Internet star is rising…

And the last time I checked, American Maid was never named Jane. I do recall another woman hero on the show called Jungle Janet. She was some big Amazon woman who worked in some team along side the likes of 4-Legged Man, Feral Boy, and Captain Musilage.

Wow, I’ll bet that this is the single funniest article Matt has ever posted. I’m amazed that his articles keep making me laugh after all these months.

Funny shit man! MORE! MORE! MORE!!!

Ghosted by Belthazor @ 10/07/2003 8:40 PM EDT

I loved the story, but one question. Wasn’t that Bruce Banner, not Doctor Octopus?

Ghosted by Randito Bandito @ 10/09/2003 5:57 PM EDT

That’s Lobot playing the part of Krang’s body, iddn’t it?

Doc Ock swapped heads with Cancer chick.

Great article especially about Venom treating all the other kids terrible. TMNT is one of the best cartoons, the old one not the new

Ghosted by Romper Stomper @ 11/13/2003 4:28 PM EST

Venom is awesome….damn spiderman getting out of line…..

Ghosted by Skater1929 @ 11/26/2003 1:00 AM EST

‘Krang, just try to make sure none of them die, okay?’

Knowing Krang, absolutely a set-up.

Loved it. There’s this whole underlying wittiness to it that’s interesting.

Torture through glass jars; that’s never been thought of before…

Last line – knockout.

Hey that post on msnbc about this site is how i found you Matt!
http://www.msnbc.com/news/946039.asp
And i’ve been following you ever since, religiously, 4-5 times a day, reading blogs…past reviews and articles….my eyes keep leaking (mostly because I have to hold in my laughter so the co-workers don’t get suspicious) and my work is suffering, but by god i go home with a smile on my face at night!

Thank you thank you thank you!

I thought Betty was Barney’s wife not the chick from the tick, so what the hell happened to Betty?

They said there are twenty seven kids, but all I see are eight: Rhino, Doc Ock, Electra, Daredevil, Spidey, Venom, Hulk, and Hulk. Where are the remaining nineteen?

Ghosted by NES Boy @ 04/05/2004 7:29 PM EDT

Funniest. thing. ever.

i think it is the next thing. maybe it will get as big as "happy campers"

Ghosted by isaac @ 05/24/2004 7:11 AM EDT

Nice little story. Venom was my fave.

I wonder if there are more stories like this around?
