Birds and yellow. What the fuck were people smoking when they made up the Green Lantern? Despite this, he was on of my favorite characters when I was little.

It wasn't even yellow.

whiiiiiiiiiiir-aUGH

I'm pretty sure some villain was attacking him, but it's a lot better if you imagine it to be some random accident.

YES. I DVR'd this off of Boomerang a while ago, and could only wish that I had the equipment/know-how to put it online. The perfect short n' sweet clip.

I love the look on the bird's face.

Yes, perfect. Awesome.

Perfect Awesome.

was it shot out of a tee-shirt cannon?

Perfection.

Awesomely perfect.

Distilled internet.

Perfect.

"Yes! My Bird-Ray works! Now that Green Lantern is out of the way, I will use my avian-powered technology to crush the Superfriends and take over the world! MOO-HOO-HA-HA-HAAAA!"

It just struck me how good the animation is at conveying the transfer of momentum from the bird to the back of Hal Jordan's skull.

Well, good for Superfriends at least.

JUST THEN!

I love this. I just keep hitting replay to see it over and over again.

"AUGH!"

needs endless repeat. my sides, they are a splitting.

Any superhero that can be felled by a bird to the back of the head is shit.
And it's so funny.

A bird > Green Lantern
A Randy Johnson fastball > a bird
Therefore:
A Randy Johnson fastball > Green Lantern

At the very end, does it sound like someone is laughing at him?

The logic here seems to have gone something like:

-Hey, we made Green Latern too powerful, he can create anything with his ring, he needs a weakness"

A lot of drinks, brains storms and stupid ideas later:

"Fuck it guys, let's just say he is afraid of birds and the color yellow and call it a day."
