Little John bends over is enjoying a nice boost in views over at YouTube, and it’s clear to see why: he’s one of the most likable, terrible characters ever. Why isn’t there a cult following around this guy yet? Say what you will about the animation and the writing, but the way they guy doing Little John’s voice delivers his understated lines makes me smile everytime. I know, I know…that hardly seems possible.

Rocket Throbbin’ Hood
Check out this awesome video response to Little John Bends Over For No One! This oughta get your Tuesday morning bumping. And since I owe a shit-ton of money in taxes, I need the cheering up. Sure could use a few DVD SALES HINT HINT HINT HINT. You know, if you get the inkling.
It’s a nice day for an…ape wedding
Ok, at this point I’d rather hear Clint Eastwood sing then see another Rocket Robin Hood clip. But this show keeps on giving. How could I let you down after all the build up? This is a longer clip than normal (wow! 2 whole minutes! Who will have the marathon nerve to watch the whole thing!)
But here’s your story so far:
1. Rocket Robin Hood has a plan that may or may not involve Little John bending over. YEE-AY AH! WHAT!?!?! [That's supposed to be Lil' Jon. Doesn't really translate in blog form.]
2. Rocket Robin Hood leaves his girlfriend to rot in a cell just to carry out some stupid prank and his dumb ass almost gets killed in the process.
3. Rocket Robin Hood, somehow, is surprised monsters live on Planet Lucifer.
Caught up? Good. Now all that’s left to see is the, ahem, “hilarious” shenanigans that ensue. SEE! The jerky animation! HEAR! The crowd make noises that will make your stomach gurgle with unrest! WATCH! Jokes as they fall flatter than Lindsay Lohan’s chest! GASP! At the countless continuity errors, wherein the ape-kid from The Others is in the man’s arms, and suddenly standing beside him!
And all this so they can just ESCAPE LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE 3 GODDAMNED DAYS AGO.
Eat me, Rocket Robin Hood.
Rocket Robin Hood: The Only April Fool in My Life
“Don’t start no shit, there wouldn’t be no shit.” Now there’s a rap lyric Rocket Robin Hood should have taken to heart before touching his long, dull, sparky sword to a dinosaur’s tail, setting it off in a blind rage. Rocket Robin Hood’s next plan is to wave the sword around at its tail, which is about as scary as Keifer Sutherland’s twin sister:
Whoa, ho ho! Allllll aboard for Tranny Town! Come to think of it, that’s pretty effing scary compared to this. Where else does Team Robin Hood go wrong?
1. Coming to Planet Lucifer in the first place and not expecting to tango with death.
2. Playing Dead by laying under the dinosaur’s tail.
3. Not hiring a real monster, but instead having a real person making a “RRRRR!” sound at 00:33
4. Little John practically hanging his Lil’ John straight out the skirt when bending down by his fallen partner’s face.
All Part of the Plan
This may not seem like an outright awful cliffhanger to Rocket Robin Hood (it’s Robin Hood…in space!) until you realize the utter hypocrisy and lie at its core.
“A prehistoric monster was not part of that plan” to save Maid Marion and Friar Tuck? I call BULLSHIT. Why? Because, in this episode, Robin Hood is also imprisoned but escapes waaaayy before his friends do. And instead of walking ONE DOOR OVER and freeing his girlfriend and his fat, celibate friend and getting the hell out of there, Rocket Robin Hood and Little John sneak out of the compound and fly to PLANET LUCIFER first.
And why would you fly to Planet effing Lucifer first instead of just saving the day? Well, to capture a hairy ape creature, dress it like Maid Marion, do an old switcheroo, and trick the Sheriff’s “sti-uuuuuupid” son into marrying the ape. That’s his plan: To bring a little merriment while saving his friends lives, and possibly make Little John bend over. And since Planet Lucifer houses all the horrors you would think a planet named after Satan himself would have, I find it hard to believe that a giant dragon wouldn’t end up being part of this dumbass plan.
So the point I’m getting at is this: Rocket Robin Hood is an asshole. And that goes double for his narrator.
