"I don't bemoan the existence of women raisins" is not a thing I expected to hear someone say when I woke up today.

Val Kilmer: "It's just raisin' too many questions." Sorry for that. Bad puns are kind of my raisin d'etre.

I do like that Big Burger went out of his way to sponsor a band called Richter so that he could use his earthquake machine. He probably could've gone for any of the other bands in the competition; but he wanted to stay on theme. I can appreciate that.

"You may begin screaming now." Well, I'm not screaming...but I wanna play the "Mac wants the flamethrower" clip.

“How do you get a ska song?” Toss in a brass instrument-preferably a trumpet-and a real big fish.

17:27 wait an angry Hamburger, does this now make him a Steamed Ham?

The Lady Raisins should have been called The Raisinettes.

Behold! Talking, singing, dancing, yet horrifying raisin people having crazy adventures while a cheese burger tries to take over their town............IN 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Who the hell eats sugar cubes?!" Me: (slowly raises hand in a shameful manner)

Wait, so you've got a world of living food and inanimate objects...that eat people... Yeah, totally a Rick and Morty dimension.

Bill burger, dude you can set your sights higher Man. You could have set your sights on *Deep breath* THE TRI-STATE AREA! Ok mostly harmless book. Next Time: OH no.

"Coming later this year! Don't worry!" Trouble always has me worried.

4:45 - LUPA FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!

8:06 How do you get a Sca song? Easy. Take a Scab & an essay graded B minus, and there you go.

So if the raisins and Richter combined into one single band, would their band name be “Grape nuts”?

"Aha! I can defeat the 3d headache by wearing my 3d glasses" *5 min later* "The goggles! They do nothing!"

Oy... I actually remembering seeing and flipping through this issue at a newstand when I was a kid. Even then, I could only wonder "Why?"🤔

My only criticism for this comic is that the Lady Raisins should've been called the Raisenets.

"California Raisins, ARE PEOPLE!"

"What do you eat?" A very good question, one that I REALLY do not want to know the answer to.

I agree good Semi Perfect Cell. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Wouldn't pickles in the raisin universe be practically shrunken heads?

I somewhat remember the Lady Raisins on a video tape mum and dad had, and to answer the question I'm sure would come, yeah, from what I remember, they were just as disturbing looking in claymation form.

Sculpting flesh into hair sounds weirdly metal

15:53 There's no *R A I S I N* for this!

Officially, the raisins are AC, Beebop, Red, Zoot, and Stretch. But three of them were also named by the public in a contest, which is where Ben Indasun comes from (along with Justin X. Grape and Tiny Goodbtite)

That maroon 5 joke made me laugh harder than I’d like to admit

oh, I get it: "been-in-da-sun".

Or they could be Tongues n' Noses. They're offal.

13:08-13:11 (Linkara Snaps his fingers) (Cue clip from Kick***ia) Linkara: THAT'S A STUPID PLAN!

I was alive for the 'height' of the California Raisins. They had a cartoon, the comics, the commercials. Not too bad, since I remember them even now.

The EM machines grows larger as it gets turned on... So EM stands for Erection Machine.

You think they would make a comic based on the maid on the sun-maid raisins box but no they use the product instead weird isn't it?

I remember years ago when you reviewed the second issue of this comic series, the book is still so bizarre now as it was then, because sapient raisins

That smiley face plug is a solid gag. Good on ya for highlighting the diamonds in the shi-er, in the rough.

If you want a good WTF 40k comic, get Deff Skwadron because of it’s focus on da Orks. It includes a story called story called secret weapon with a plane that would make Rob Liefeld cream his pants. And as to how it can fly? Well... it’s Ork tech. If Orks believe it can fly, it’ll fly. Trying to explain it beyond would make trying to explain quantum physics seem like something for kindergarten.

Having Linkara mentioning Slayer makes me want to make out with him. And I'm a straight dude. The power of Metal, ladies and gentlemen.

The one raisin being called "Ben Indasun" sounds like he began life as a suicidal grape.

Yes hellstar!!! One of the best cosmic horror stories! Linkara you are gonna love it!!!

16:10 .... now i have the sudden urge to see linkara as a teletubby, i don't know why :3

Junji Ito always finds a way to keep me up at night, next week should be fun.

"But how many people are really out there just eating sugar cubes?" Finnick Odair?

In case anyone wondered, this style of 3D is known as Stereoscopic 3D.

Mr. Computer strikes again, now with music business powers. Of course, he is in cahoots with the worst thing we know, the evil that plagues modern day mankind - ANCIENT EGYPT!

Looking forward to the next one :)

Aw nice! Hellstar is one of my favorites!

You might say this book was...raisin questions!

15:25 I think the idea is that the raisin is covered with so much glue that he's breaking the fourth wall and the comic's pages are sticking to him.

Let's not forget those figurines they put out. At one point, I had the first two sets from Hardees. My mother and grandma both would insist that I needed to save them as they'd be worth a lot of money. But a quick eBay search shows that you can get any set for dirt cheap.

Summary of comic: Kill it with fire

@9:49, was expecting Val Kilmer but got Cell. Way to keep surprising us Linkara.

This looks great with 3D glasses!

If raisins are made from dried grapes, then are these guys born as grapes and then left out in the sun to suffer horribly as children? They must have some major issues.

Junji Ito? But I've already allocated most of my brain bleach to the Raisins. Looks like I'll have to find a distributor to shake down.

Wearing those red and blue 3D glasses, I barely even noticed any 3D effects in the first story, but I noticed it more in the second one, yet it basically just made all the characters look like cardboard cutouts.

Regardless of what people say, I enjoy your content and everything you do.

I couldn't think of a worse idea for a comic than the California raisins. Except a Teletubbies comic.

I thought the square things looked most like tofu. Maybe they're fried tofu?

In the Transformers fandom, we call it "mass-shifting." James Roberts did some cool stuff with it, in Lost Light.

I think the lady raisins are going to replace mr. computer, troll in the shower and that one panel of ash from "freddy vs Jason vs ash" (you know the one) in my nightmares!

Clever concept🍇🍇

Wait! the characters in this world are sapient food and other usually innanimate objects, who have a terrifying appearance but aren't necessarly mean-spirited, their society runs on a foreign logic, and their reality is inconsistent to the point that you could argue it's potentially falling appart? Oh My God!!!!! I've cracked the mystery of it all!! They are part of the Horrible Hospital continuity!!!!

Making bad puns whilst taking off glasses is linkara a TV homicide detective

Yay, more raisins!

I remember going on a field trip or two to see The California Raisins on Ice.

LInkara raisined some cane. also raisinettes vs Lady raisins good show Linkara! Thank you ;3

7:38 God if that isn’t the story of every time I need something out of my mac book.

Yep, I wonder if the raisins will be in a band, or look like demonic clay-mation.

I think these stupid raisins always look terrifying, so those lady Raisins were not something my brain needed. If you need me I'm going to be buying all the brain bleach I can get my hands on.

8:13 - I think that engineer got lost on his way to a 'Popeye' comic strip.

These reviews justify the pair of 3D shades I own~

They Return

The California Raisins even got a NES game.

3D has returned

“Sooooo, what do you put in there to get a Ska song?” Duh, a picture of a guy going crazy with a 5 Iron

It's PEOPLE! You gotta tell them! The California Raisins are eating food made of PEOPLE!!!

This show is why I enjoy Mondays again. Also, I scanned the comic with my Sonic screwdriver and decided to torture the Cybermen with it

That blue/red image split thing type of 3D has always given me headaches. Parallax, such as on the 3DS, on the other hand works great for me.

Not gonna lie, thought the sugar cubes were tofu cubes.

Big Burger at the end looks like one steamed ham!

Oh jeez Hellstar Remina... Now THAT is a manga that just goes tits up batshit insane at the end.

8:07 The Taka Tora and Bata core medals from Kamen Rider OOO. It will somehow generate a Ska song about how "anything goes". Well either that or an alternative j-rock song about "regretting nothing".

That burger was boiling in rage.

4:43 That Baywatching reference will never make me not happy. Also, I'm beginning to wonder if any of the California Raisins may have been under the care of one Dr. Eugene Landy.

It took longer than I'd like for me to get the joke in the one raisins name.

Junji Ito's Hellstar next week? Can't wait!

Loved the episode, despite not watching it yet. Also today is my birthday and what good luck that a AT4W episode aired on my birthday. Also this will surely be better than food fight. Also could you review The New Adventures of Megaman, a Brazilian Comic licensed by Capcom that was written by someone who hated video games and didn't care about Megaman, features incest, a character named Princess made by the writer called Roll a...Retodd as I would put it, features continuity problems with the games and characters which wouldn't be a problem if it was a reboot...but it's actually a sequel that takes place years later, nearly everyone is dead with Dr Wily dropping a atom bomb on Dr Light's lab killing everyone, bad artwork and Roll being naked alot I the comic. Plus remember that character the writer made earlier that called Roll and Retodd, well he actually intended for this new character to kill off the cast and become the new star of the book with her also showing that the writer thought that American comics we're trash and we're ruining Brazilian comics. Geez, not even Frank Millar flat out insulted a entire industry, of which he works for, for a country, calling it trash. And all of this was licensed by Capcom and well. If you can't tell how bad it is, well every issue they had a contest for the fans, unexperienced artists, where the winner would do the art for the next issue. Now thankfully the writer was kicked off by Capcom before he could pull off his plan to kill off the whole cast but the damage to the series had already been done and the series ended after 16 issues Also 2nd comment

By god the artwork is so hard to look at it hurts my eyes also I didn't know that 3d comics existed I didn't even know it was possible

Can't wait

To get Ska, you need punk clothing and a lot, and I mean A LOT of brass instruments!

I think this one is missing from the AT4W playlist as well. It goes strait from Darkwing Duck to Hellstar.

I’m going to be a nasty b***, and point out the song is called “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”. 😂

So with Big Burger’s bs plan where should we put that on the list of dumbest plans we’ve ever seen on this show? I’m thinking between Dr Know’s plan in Future 5 and Superman telling that kid to tell the drug dealers that he’s keeping an eye on them after he set their stash on fire in Superman #701. Speaking of, how many stupid plans have we covered on this show, I’ve lost count after Marville.

Barely can focus on the raisins considering up next we have MY FAVORITE JUNJI ITO COMIC AND THE CASSANDRA CAINTROSPECTIVE, AGAIN!!!!! HHHHHHHHHH I wish I could- oh my god those women raisins are horrifying that is SO scary Still laughing about the shirt thing. Okay, I know you said "not doing that because I wouldn't do something pointless" yada yada yada but… GOD that mental image destroyed me, I won't stop laughing about it for a while now pfff

"Sentient milk?" Be careful what you wish for. The dairy industry is even more powerful than they let on; they could be watching even now- Did I just hear something moo outside? ERJNKKLRAIDFUS NOTHING IS WRONG DRINK MILK LOVE LIFE

6:51Somebody call the burn ward!

I think the bigger question from that bit is why has there never been a Mr. Rogers comic?

This comic series seems to be using generic raisins instead of the four distinct characters from the specials and cartoon series. Not to mention the actual villains used in the second special and series. No Lick Broccoli or Leonard Limabean. It looks like they attempted Rudy the agent, but had no clue what he looked like. And yeah, cartoon and specials? Only sentient vegetables and fruits exist.

Linkera, this is the stuff B-movies are made of.!
