The Wearing of the Grin

Perhaps I should have thought about it on St Patrick's Day, but it's only today that I've had the idea to google the following video on YouTube. It stars Porky Pig who is looking high and low for refuge in Ireland, and he ends up in a castle owned by leprechauns… (According to Uncyclopedia, leprechauns are "little magical hoppity green creatures commonly confused with the Irish.")




"Le-le-le-le-leprechauns! What nonsense!"

I love Porky's look at 03:42. The green shoes dance is just fantastic, by the way.

"I really must be going… I'm late for an appointment… with me-me-my psychiatrist…"

That was a quite surreal cartoon, don't you think?

Wikipedia trivia:
"The title refers to The Wearing of the Green, an old Irish ballad, while the green shoes themselves are borrowed from the Hans Christian Anderson fable The Red Shoes (and the 1948 film based on it) about a pair of ballet shoes that never let their wearer stop dancing."
Today's Uncyclopedia featured articles: midget, Ewok, Oompah Loompah, Dwarfs, Hobbit, Penguins, Tom Cruise. And the Miget cockpunching terrorists, as a bonus.
