Which Cartoons Characters Are Invited To "The Cookout?" | Smartypants Presentation, Demi Adejuyigbe
Which cartoon characters are invited to "the cookout?" Wait - do you even know what "the cookout" is?! Let presenter Demi Adejuyigbe enlighten you (especially if your name is Grant O'Brien) about the complex and nuanced nature of why Bart Simpson, Garfield, Master Splinter, and more are good allies and have open invitations...and why Shrek doesn't. Watch the rest of this episode and more presentations on Smartypants, a new exclusive series on Dropout.tv! smartypants.dropout.tv

The thing is, according to the Looney Tunes Show, Granny did canonically fight Nazis in WW2, so her being a civil rights ally makes sense.
Yep, she was part of the Women's Army Corps (WAC) for the US Army and helped the French resistance during their occupation
It does make sense, but for the sake of argument, my grandpa fought Nazis in WW2 and it didn't keep him from being a racist.
@@idkalan00The Looney Tunes Show! She met Tweety when they stoped a museum heist at the Louvre.
Weren't a lot of the people who fought nazis the ones being marched *against*?
@@groofay i think the big denominator is your grandpa is a man
This is a terrible way to find out my girlfriend Shego is cheating on me.
You knew, though. Lets be real.
If the TV show Kim Possible taught us anything, its that Shego is not a one man woman. Draken knows that, Demi knows that, I know that and certainly you must know that.
If it makes you feel better, it sounds more like she's cheating on Demi with you since they are married.
@@vianniello93we stan our poly goddess 🧎🧎♂️🧎🧎♂️
What a coincidence she’s also dating me Good for her! Good for her
Giving notes to Grant for him to read is such a great bit
Please stop interrupting 😂
Thank you Grant for always being willing to be the butt of the joke for the bit. I appreciate you greatly for it. :D
He was gonna say the N word but they cut it off at 7:13, which was uncalled for
@@ianrivers7923 he just wants to be like his hero Spidermen 2
demi brand new to this group but immediately understands what grant is there for
"In times of war, where is Waldo" remains etched into my brain
Where was Waldo on Jan. 6???
Waldo and Switzerland are now synonymous in my mind.
@@Jellomancy unfortunately, that was the one day when we ALL knew where he was...
The late Waldo Frey
Where was Waldo during 9/11. Where was he!?
FUN FACT Granny marching with MLK is actually part of her lore!!!
She could've been his freebie answer on which Looney Tune to invite, since he had already invited her.
Do you know where it’s stated in her lore? I’m trying to find it but I can’t seem to locate it
There doesn't seem to be any record of this anywhere, I think it's a myth.
Fun fact, in the Ninja Turtles/Power Rangers crossover comic, the Turtles use holo emitters to appear human and blend in while hanging out with the Rangers in the Juice Bar and they are, in fact, Black.
I can absolutely see Donny being black and maybe Raph or Leo, but not surfer stoner bro Mikey.
@@BeavisSaveswoah man, black people can be surfer stoner dudes who love pizza, too.
I kinda thought they were asian.
@@ld6782 nah, Splinter is Asian. They're turtle Bruce Leroy's
@@ld6782they’re black guys who were adopted by an Asian rat man.
I can't believe Grant would say those things...
I can!
@@nevergiveup5939 say gex
I know, I'm so disappointed in him. Do better, Grant.
And without any prompting!! It really shows you who he really is.
Really? I can.
I really really admire Grant embracing the role of the White Guy™ 😂
Grant has fully Committed to every bit he's ever come across.
Method Acting?
Agreed, great allyship
He was part of "Team Friendship?" So yeah.
Sussy word choice, not invited
Piccolo being black is something that always fundamentally made sense but I have never really understood why. He’s gohan’s real dad though and we stan black father figures
For a guy who'd never been to America, Toriyama really nailed the whole "former hood menace does a 2 year bid, converts to Islam, gets released and starts mentoring fatherless neighborhood youth" arc to perfection. (I stole this, but I'm repeating it here because it's perfect)
Very black american coded interpretation
I mean have you heard the way Frieza and Vegeta call him "The Namekian", that shit sounds motivated
@@covertpetersen2573 That is too perfect.
@@royalFiddle😂
Thank you, editors, for saving us from Grant’s deplorable moment 🙏🙏🙏
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stop interrupting
Bro that bit had me rolling!!! 😂😂😂
Hot take: Donald Duck is invited. Dude is a war veteran with PTSD who raised his absent sister's and deadbeat brother-in-law's three kids who all have ADHD, he's constantly feuding with his rich-ass uncle who won't give him SHIT to get by. (I am of course going by Carl Barks and Don Rosa canon and not any incarnation of DuckTales).
If you've never checked out the 2017 series, give it a look. It draws a lot from the Carl Barks and Don Rosa canon in a very fun way. Also, Webby is super autistic-coded and I love her.
@@GGCrono I've seen it, and it's great, but the relationship between Donald and Scrooge is somewhat different in that, imho. (But yeah, great stuff. My only slight misapprehension was Grandma Duck never appearing, lol.)
@@nakenmil Considering all the deep cuts that the series made (a reference to SOLEGO of all things??) something had to give, I suppose. A shame they only got three seasons.
@@GGCrono I would have loved a FULL third season. But to be clear, I'm not complaining, just daydreaming, lol.
Fck that's so funny how Donald is invited and Mickey is not 😂
Putting Grant's use of slurs behind a paywall is genius
Spoiler alert, it is censored in the full version too 😂
@@TraMan5narc 😂
Spoiler alert: it doesn't actually exist. That's the whole joke
@@KnightDrRobBlock No, you just missed mine
@KnightDrRobBlock everyone knows. They're just taking the piss.
White Sicilian is my favourite chess opening
Interesting, that is also my favorite pizza from Round Table.
"Oh fer fek's sake 'Anthony', yer not a 'White Sicilian' you're bloody English!"
There's white Sicilians?
@@stevemeters3090 1. c4 c5 2. e4 was what I assumed but honestly I've never really heard the terminology used before so it all sounded terribly English to me.
That’s just the English lol
The weird thing is every card grant got just said "improv being a fake ally"
Noticed a lack of shaggy and scooby being mentioned. I put them both together as i doubt one would go without the other
I suppose Mitchell & Webb already dealt with what it would be like to have those guys over for dinner.
They are clearly not invited as they would eat everything taking food out black people's mouths
There is always that one guy that brings his dog.
@@tailortelhais1744I love that sketch.
I'm torn. On one hand, they gonna try to eat up all the damn food by themselves. On the other hand, they'll bring enough "Scooby Snacks" (aka pot brownies) for everyone.
"...if you’ve never heard the phrase in your life? Hm" Demi is rocking that turtleneck/yellow velvet jacket look.
E
"With all the exaggerated swagger of a black teenager"
Don't forget Knuckles. Heck, he's voiced by Idris Elba, AND he has rap in his theme songs and stages!
You know me, the fighting freak, Knuckles, and we at Pumpkin Hill...
Stating obvious truths is not required. Honestly, I'm surprised he ever mentioned Piccolo given how obvious it is
Great choice. As a card-carrying member of the committee, I'll officially nominate him during the next meeting.
Piccolo doesn't need to be 'invited' he's just black. (He's also mentioned) @@TheAcademik Edit: I have failed and will never recover. I didn't read
Meanwhile, the black hedgehog is in fact _not_ black, but is instead the edgelord white boy who's way too into samurai swords and emo music, and when asked on any civil rights movement his response was "heh, whatever... I don't have time for this", and therefore not invited. Basically, he's Cody. Also his solo game is uh, not exactly great optics.
10/10 presentation, I just wish Grant would’ve stopped interrupting 😔
Between this and him liberally dropping racial slurs I see Grant in a different light.
@@loneassassin1015 He's such a great ally
Rachel Hegemony lives on in our hearts o7
and in the system, too!
Jennifer Ainiston conquers all
Is she the host or did she also hold an invite to the cookout?
the spiderman bit had me wheezing on the bus when i watched it when it came out
i spat out water
Well, you know what they say, the wheeze on the bus go round and round
@@Liz-kj2jjThat’s a better pun than it has any right to be, lol.
@@Liz-kj2jj you are a genius
My first thought was "Miles Morales would 100% tell Peter Parker to do this as a bit"
This show feels like an instant success and want to see more of Demi in the future.
If you haven’t seen them before, search KZhead for September 21. Demi made that shit into a holiday for a few years there
Finding out he's the September meme video guy absolutely blew my mind!
"Stole presents from white people. That's praxis" I CHOKED!!!
I’m so happy that Dropout knows how fucking good of a teaser this is for the show. Super excited for what’s to come
"Don't call me boy!" genuinely had me lightheaded from laughter 🤣🤣
So quick
"read from this card" "Please stop interrupting"
"And if you've never heard the phrase in your life..... Hm." killed me lmao
I love-hate the fact this feels like the best version of all my presentations from university
ok but in your uni presentation who did you not invite
Sounds like someone is not using neurodivergent hyperfocus to give presentations to their city officials about why they should be decent human beings. Unleash the presentation beast upon the 1%
imagining a comicbook world where spiderman takes this advice, then gets unmasked, and so many people come forward with videos of him saying slurs at them
And just like that he’s united the people of New York in a common goal, truly the hero we need
There was a time when Peter claimed to be black in a She-Hulk comic... to make JJ look racist. Which... yeah.
@@someoneunknown7655 "Don't be careful, he's a villain."
"In these trying times (and no matter when you're watching this, I'm talking about right now)..." is underrated
Demi absolutely killed it, even though this was only the first episode of the series, I feel like he perfectly embodied the spirit of it. Finding a good balance between nonsensical and seeming academic structure
I just joined Dropout and had no idea Demi Adejuyigbe was part of it, holy crap
I think this is the first thing he has contributed to them (at least on screen), but I am looking forward to seeing what else we might get!
@@kevinflanagan2543 Thanks for letting me know! As you can probably tell, I haven't been deep into the Dropout library but am excited for more Demi, I find him hilarious and charismatic.
Um, Actually, I beleive hes on a few episodes of Um, Actually!
@@Veronica-zw3sl Important information accepted with much gratitude, friend!
@@Veronica-zw3sl Oh that's quite possible! I'm definitely not caught up on my Um, Actually watch, so there's plenty of opportunity for me to have missed him there.
Every day I'm more and more convinced that I need to buy a Dropout subscription
A few bucks for the funniest content on the internet? I get more mileage out of this subscription than I ever got out of Netflix and the likes.
@@Finckelstein Same, I'd pay the subscription for game changer or dimension 20 alone
I watch Dropout every day and canceled Netflix and Disney+ because I literally don't need them anymore
Its actually so good, i got it for a month to binge dimension 20 and just kept it for all the other content (which im sure is not a unique story)
Very, very worth it. The TV app has a few glitches but honestly, much less than any other streaming service app (esp HBOMax) but all of the content is good.
I NEED dropout to post the “wrestling is drag” presentation on KZhead so I can share it to my wrestling friends
Screen record it and send it to them via private video on KZhead.
Just started watching, only 30 seconds in, but I'm honestly not sure how anything in the video could be funnier than "Actually, I went to college with Rachel Hegemony". Seriously, just *chef's kiss* improv right there
The whole episode was great. I especially loved Trapp’s presentation. The bit about Spider-Man was hilarious, as well as giving the cards to Grant.
I loved all of Trapp's graphs and reasoning. It was so professional, really showed his background.
all of these presentations from the first episode were great, my partner and i were dying in Mike Trapp's as he almost picked my birthday and it felt like a weird cold reading, Vic Michaelis is obviously always hilarious, but this was ABSOLUTELY the right one to upload. Incredibly funny, please get him on more shows asap (also shout out to Grant being a good sport, right up until he said that thing he said!) i cant wait to see the rest of these, i assume everyone in the audience presented as part of a single shoot so its also fun to think of these almost as like little mini arcs.
To clarify, Grant didn't actually say the thing, they just cut half a second to make it look like he did
@@constantlycomic1290I think OP knows, but good to point out since some actually seem to think that he did!
Holy shit, this is the best Dropout production I’ve ever seen. Amazing. Subscribing literally right now.
You won't regret it
the true panic in demis face when he realizes he's said people should "know their place" like 3 times is so pure.
This is the best bit of that episode you could have used to market the show, and I urge anyone who isn’t on dropout yet to get on if you have the funds- this show has so much promise. Also new Game Changer season is going crazy right now.
It's been crazy the whole time
I’m 100% on the Miles Morales Spider-Man should say the N-word train.
You have my axe.
Is that by the F-word train?
Which leads to the question which black heroes say the N-word and how liberally? Icon wouldn't, Luke Cage would, Mr. Terrifc Wouldn't, John Stewart would.
Stewart probably does, but only when to make a point. And unlike Cage, he code-switches nearly all the time.
@@hisnitch John Stewart uses it like MLK does in the Boondocks.
I can't believe Grant said that about Martin Luther King's Dream And all those dastardly things about AAPI month too!!!
I love that the Where's Waldo example featured one of the easiest Waldo finds ever. He's literally in the foreground on the mid-lower-left, didn't even need to zoom in. 😂
I wonder if the pink ice climber being a white Sicilian was put there just for Jon Gabrus, he cracks up for a good 10 seconds after that one.
I was so exited when Smartypants came out, automatically became my favorite Dropout show
This is like the perfect platform for a Brian David Gilbert rant a la Polygon.
Michigan J Frog just makes me think about when I learned that “Hello My Baby” was originally a minstrel song, so I guess I’m glad he reclaimed it?
With every trailer I've seen, I would have screamed if Grant unironically said "What's the cookout?"
I love the purposely bad cut 😂
One of the perks of having a Dropout subscription is less sex bots in the comments😂
Well, less comments overall.
100% less in fact 😂
Excellent choice of clip to put this on KZhead; my wife and I have been subbed to dropout for ages and Smartypants is our new favourite show!
Every single presentation of the first 2 episodes has been soo freaking great please give me 10 seasons and more!!! Pretty please!
Loved the cards being given to Grant
They got Demi??
his appearances on dropout led me to discover their youtube! apparently has been very funny for years
Was not expecting this to be so funny 😂 might buy a dropout subscription cuz this and VIP get me every time lol.
The whole episode was incredible, and Vic's presentation on vegetables not being real was shockingly insightful
Rachel Hegemony is a top tier drag name
The punch line at 6:00 absolutely floored me! GREAT presentation!
I’ve seen so many shorts that have cut this up so it’s great to finally have the full video on KZhead
"Piccolo is black" makes sense to me primarily because he reminds me of Panthro.
Taz being delighted to see himself on so many T-shirts is such a funny fucking joke
This is THE best clip to get people to watch the show, so beautiful, Demi is🔥
Thank you for posting the full thing, this is so good!
I keep checking the comments waiting for the culture war weirdos to find this video but its still all just nice people enjoying a great presentation.
Just a great well rounded presentation. I strive to ever be able to do that in a educational/corporate setting
I'm not familiar with Demi but holy crap do I love him now! He's so quick too!
This format is great, definitely becoming one of my fav dropout shows
This man speaks the truth, he's completely right. We've been saying Piccolo was black for YEARS
I'm glad you put this as free content. This was hilarious, and makes an amazing argument on why to get Dropout.
So far every presentation on Smartypants has been gold. Educational* and entertaining!
I disagree. Jacob’s conclusion that Bigfoot is the best cryptid to blaze with is nonsense and unfounded. Bigfoot only does mushrooms. I’m not making an assumption, I know Bigfoot and this is all he ever does.
Smartypants is, without question, the best Dropout content
This whole setup just showed me why Dropout should start doing at least some sketch comedy again. There's no reason to just completely drop it because there is streaming service now.
Agreed but scripts take more time and time is money
Sam has outlined why sketch comedy was dropped. It's extremely expensive. Even this isn't really sketch comedy as much as it is a TED Talk. They want to bring it back, but considering how much it costs to have a writer's room, scout locations, and have shoots, the budget isn't really feasible.
@@minusxero I saw that, and I completely see why they're doing that from his perspective. I just look at a show like Thousandaires coming up and wonder why they chose to do that over something their writers are really good at and want to do
@@evanmarcus5975I’m not entirely sure that’s the take away here. Yeah, it would be cool to see more sketches but im pretty sure that people that would be staring and writing those skits are making all the shows that dropout is making right now. And considering the amount of effort it takes in making shows like this, I have to imagine they at least want to be making these projects on some level
@@evanmarcus5975 because thousandaires is cheaper than sketch comedy
that was an incredible presentation thank you
this whole episode is worth getting a sub for! this new show is so good
this was by far the best presentation this is a masterpiece
Oh my god I love Demi’s September videos, never knew he was doing other stuff
I know it'll never happen but I'd love to see F.D. Signifier react to this video. I almost got a cramp laughing
Have only seen one episode so far, but I love Smartypants already xDD
This was just great lol real talk on Garfield and Spider-Man lol
I'm so excited for the next episode!
Absolutely in love with this show already
This episode was HILARIOUS.
Demi's presentation was so funny. would Super love to see more of him on Dropout.
Every part of this was fantastic.
god this was such a banger. desperately crossing my fingers that my best friend uses their subscription to watch it with me 🤞🙏
1:46 I feel like Peppermint Patty needs to be explained more.
Sure, Chuck. She has a jazz theme song, is a great athlete, and the lesbian community identifies with her.
I can't wait for more episodes! This show is my new favorite.
Only 1 episode in and already I LOVE this new show! ❤
Only one of the ice climbers being invited to the cookout because one is named popo is the smartest fucking joke
This is one of the best bits I've seen in a long time!
ngl i LOVE this new show. It's a little less improv but not fully scripted either, a great balance!
Loving this new series!
one thing I have to say is that the Pink Ice Climber would definitely be invited to the cookout by the Purple Ice Climber (who we've established as black). i mean they don't go anywhere without each other
Love Demi, one of the funniest dudes in the comedy world imo from those September videos to Punch Up The Jam to this
Flaw in your Spider-Man plan that suit is constantly getting ripped revealing skin color
You heard it here people, Spiderman has a responsibility to do blackface too
@@rheawelsh4142 he has to paint his skin a different color every time just to keep people guessing.
You forgot to say "Um, actually"
This part of the episode made me laugh so hard even my baby was worried sick about me
This was the best idea ever, all with the Grant cards, the framing of Grant saying the N-word, the subject matter, the jokes. Perfection. He''s looking dope in that yellow too
Demi is so funny and this is my favourite presentation from the episode
SO glad they got The Musings of a Crouton on this show or I'd have to report this for copyright infringement out of respect😂
This was 100% Hilarious! Thank you for this content!
Absolutely love this show. If it doesn't get more seasons I'm gonna riot
