Thank You Maskman - Lenny Bruce
Animation (Cartoon / Traditional), Comedy (Dry, Politics)
[ 7:20 - from YouTube ]
This is a hilarious animation of a stand up routine on hero worshipping from Lenny Bruce, the genius stand up comedian from the 50's and 60's. In a short span of time, the heroic figure of the Masked Man (a Lone Ranger looking fella) is critically torn apart, as is our society that loves to worship and destroy its heroes. Lenny paid heavily for his brilliant social commentary and his hilarious criticism. It's good to go back to a time when entertainers could truly threaten the establishment.
