I've been listening to a lot of MM...Food recently, and it's put me in the mood for watching old, stupid cartoons. A lot of the samples DOOM uses are from Fantastic Four (naturally), and I found this rather amusing clip, featuring a crazy underwater car that walks on legs (and which The Thing refers to as a "jalopy"), and the old classic of reusing the same scene over and over to save money and time drawing new scenes:
I also found this:
It's pretty funny, because you expect the theme tune to be pretty dramatic, and it starts off like some sort of 70s cop show, but quickly turns into something resembling that of a cheesy game show. Also, it's super cheery, even though someone dies in the race that we see Speed Racer in. Even the grim look on Speed Racer's face seems to contradict the cheesy music; as if the guy who wrote the theme tune didn't even look at what the show was going to be like. Plus, Speed Racer's strange mincing walk to his car at the beginning is hilarious, and his pose at the end is incredibly awkward.
Here's the opening track to MM...Food:
