A junk (Chinese: 船; pinyin: chuán) is a type of Chinese sailing ship characterized by a central rudder, an overhanging flat transom, watertight bulkheads, and a flat-bottomed design. They are also characteristically built using iron nails and clamps. The term applies to many types of small coastal or river ships, usually serving as cargo ships, pleasure boats, or houseboats, but also ranging in size up to large ocean-going vessels. There can be significant regional variations in the type of rig and the layout of the vessel.

18:20 There's a kind of boat called "Junk", and given that it's a chinese type of ship and this comic is old as hell, maybe this phrase didn't have malicious intent But then again, we're talking about old USA, so maybe it was malicious and I'm a fool

Superman being a funny little goober is one of my favorite things ever, it makes people finding him boring even more hilarious. Jimmyposting was one of greatest gifts ever given to us.

Talking of weaknesses and clever solutions. There's an comic where superman spends his entire week dressed up as an giant bird in order to scare an talking bird to telling everyone about his secret identity. Superman has nothing better to do with his time than wearing bird costume and yelling at a parrot, parrot he is supposed to be taking care of.
Superman is really a perfect example of: “Superheroes when the world is exploding but it’s not their movie” He should be that character that helps in other Character’s stories, comicbooks are very pro world building plus he can be a great supporting character.
Ya know there’s a robot chicken skit about Lois sending Clark back in time to remind her about pointless stuff, he then meets himself while time traveling and realizes he’s shitty relationship… it ends with them putting her while she’s in her car in a pit of quicksand, boop boop boop boop boop boop Superman!
Yea and there's another i recall vaguely where they actually did make superman a dick to everyone around him but he goes with that same catchphrase you said. Wait yea i look it up. It was one where he gave his powers up to many lovers that was one i was thinking of one of them was batman
It looks like the old man was partway through magically changing into his evil sea king costume, and the boots happen to look just like Aquaman's footwear.
My dad is a Superman STAN like two shelves of merch including kids toys, pencils, and travel napkins kind of stan. I can’t believe I never once thought “I wonder why Superman is being a dick in like so many of these covers??” He also mostly only has the ones where he’s abusing Batman.
I wonder his opinion of Batman than:) Also sounds like a valuable collection and a great comic fan. I wonder if he fell in love with Superman from the films or just something else he probably treasure.
It probably wouldn’t’ve taken much longer if Clark just did the money thing as a sort of a side-thing; he saves the miner but then demands money for fixing the mine, he can do all that extra stuff because he takes a vacation as Clark Kent, he cashes in on bounties- basically he still does Superman stuff, but he does money stuff instead of his Clark Kent stuff
I will defend this by about 10%. You have to remember that when a lot of these comics were coming out they were being written for people that were semi-illiterate. So the stories had to be simple and they had to literally spell everything off for everyone because if not they would have no fucking clue what was the happening. They actually used to get a lot of letters about it. So they had to dumb everything down. They just never stopped.

40:00 @Huggbees I am not sure you know this but Akira Toriyama actually made a sorta selfish super hero whos who thing is getting paid to save lives called CASHMAN. it did pretty well in Shonen JUMP but ended fast because he did it while doing Dragon Ball at the same time.
40:40 Okay, unironically I do think Superman was entitled to the cash reward. Like the plot was bad, but I'd love it if you actually explored a story where the US government, whether just a city or the country as a whole, began paying superheroes for the bounties on criminals, Super or Not.
40:10 - I'm actually sort of amazed that that isn't a comic run or event for Spider-Man, actually. Him having to get money for treatment for Aunt may, or whatever, that he can't just freestyle himself. Like SIGNIFICANTLY better than the mephisto plot, think of him having to try to come up with money while still fighting crime, on a ticking clock but still having to refuse to steal, even if it's easy, like a money bag just straight up blowing into the air mid robbery - and he has to web it up and return it, even if it was considered lost by that point. Is he gonna be bounty hunting? Abusing his image to get paid for photoshoots or interviews? Turning himself in for the reward or something? Neglecting his morals and working at oscorp or whatever for the stupidly high pay, despite knowing his work will be used for profit rather than helping people? Hell, you could even end up having that be the catalyst for an identity reveal, or a wedge between him and MJ, having to essentially become a celebrity and use their lives as a show for income. Idk, rambling. But I can see so many ways that Peter being GENUINELY DESPERATE for money, not for himself, but for family or friends, would be one of the biggest possible moral tests of his character and drive. Batman has the no killing rule, but Spider-Man doubtless would struggle with the seeming upcoming necessity of breaking the law and his own code of ethics that he's beaten and jailed people for.
@@jamalwalker04 The only thing _separating_ Batman from his villains is the fact he doesn't kill anybody. Batman's a lonely and rich costumed lunatic and the only reason his antics *aren't* considered a problem is that he actively tries to prevent death and destruction instead of being ambivalent to it.
@@jamalwalker04 considering batman is just as insane as his villains, he's likely afraid of the idea that if he kills he'll wind up being no better than them. Slippery Slope sorta thing
The concept of abusing time so you don't piss off your girlfriend is ridiculous. Superman is basically endangering the whole plant for personal reasons. Time travel is not something you dick around with for petty reasons.
I thought this was gonna be some witty joke or bland complaint about women but then it was just a very straightforward and serious warning not to abuse space-time for selfish and petty reasons. Well alright then.
Depends on how the time travel is written and how the rules are established. You don't HAVE to follow the "time travel is dangerous" concept if you don't want to, because everything about the idea is just made up and writing has been training us to overthink it for the past few decades. I'd be willing to suspend my disbelief if time travel was a vehicle for the story to go somewhere, but that entire part of the story is just time travel being used for petty motivation with literally no consequences on the characters involved. It's just a waste of a few panels.
You have to understand that the Time-Travel during DC's Silver Age was probably the most inconsequential usage of time travel ever--fuckin *everybody* did it. Batman did it, Flash did it, and half of Superman and Supergirl's histories *depended* on it because of their relationship with the Legion of Super-Heroes, who came from the 31st century. Dicking around with time travel for petty reasons was absolutely normal in 1960s DC.
41:15 An oversupply of diamonds and precious metals driving down the price would be a good thing, as the industries are exploitative and environmentally harmful. Additionally, everyone working those industries would be freed up to add productivity to other fields. Superman is restraining himself to protect a status quo of child slavery diamond mines.

Thank goodness modern day Superman has mellowed out into a fine, upstanding citizen that chooses to help people with his gifts and, for some goddamn unknown reason, some dumbass comes up with the 20,000,000 IQ idea of "what if Superman was like me and used his powers to be an asshole?", which unintentionally robs the Man of Steel of his nuance because audiences consider him boring on a surface level and choose to gravitate towards the tyrants and dictators people keep giving godlike powers. Please watch *My Adventures with Superman.* We need more nice Superman in life.
25:31 Proteus is in fact a minor god of ancient greece whose only described ability was seeing the future and being a shapeshifter who will avoid capture at all costs and will only reveal the future to those who can capture him.

They took a lot of creative liberties with this comic version but he is the Snowflame of the Sea so I gotta love him, *and* he actually shapeshifted!
Been a Batman guy most of my life recently gotten into Superman. Best silly silver-age stuff was the mini Superman he shot out of his hand, and lil Superman was getting all the glory so big Superman plots to kill him but the little guy gives up his life to save the day and supes is like “aweh man a true hero that guy” But my favorite has been the radio plays.

18:20 There's a kind of boat called "Junk", and given that it's a chinese type of ship and this comic is old as hell, maybe this phrase didn't have malicious intent
But then again, we're talking about old USA, so maybe it was malicious and I'm a fool
"Superman says:
*You* can slap a jap with war bonds and stamps!"

Right, but that carving is absolutely the hull of a junk

I was about to chime in with that.
Pasta fasool, you are a fool
The whole "I hope you finished that contract" line is even more funny if you think about the fact he might have put that man back into mine if it wasnt
SolidJJ doing voices in this is one of the best additions to your videos possible.
I am not exaggerating one bit, it really adds to the ridiculousness of the comics and thus the humor the video
Nobody told Huggbees he could've used Wayback Machine to see the original Superd*ckery website, tragic.
Wayback machine cant always go back before. He may actually did try that but it probably didn't work or was not able to do so due to time constraints wanting get this video out soon as he can

I never knew how much i needed the Huggbees/Solid JJ collaboration. It was great to hear Huggbees as Snowflame, love to see SJJ repaying the favor.
Huggbees has also been catman and the dog from the openhiemer video for solidjj
That Brave And The Bold "Superdickery" episode was one of my favourites, and honestly the series as a whole is too. Always glad to see some appreciation for it.
Superman being a funny little goober is one of my favorite things ever, it makes people finding him boring even more hilarious. Jimmyposting was one of greatest gifts ever given to us.
The first time Superman speaks; “is that…?”
The second sentence; “IT IS! IT ACTUALLY IS!”
Yeah solidjj has such iconic voices
Solid JJ being Superman in this brings a big grin on my face.
I don't know how to fix my face now, it's kind of stuck like this, I'll give whoever can send me an ambulance 20 bucks because that's all i have

There actually is a type of ship made by the Chinese that's known as a Junk. You might have seen it in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Yes I was looking for someone to have said this!
Just unforunate phrasing
Talking of weaknesses and clever solutions. There's an comic where superman spends his entire week dressed up as an giant bird in order to scare an talking bird to telling everyone about his secret identity.
Superman has nothing better to do with his time than wearing bird costume and yelling at a parrot, parrot he is supposed to be taking care of.
Superman is really a perfect example of:
“Superheroes when the world is exploding but it’s not their movie”
He should be that character that helps in other Character’s stories, comicbooks are very pro world building plus he can be a great supporting character.
Ya know there’s a robot chicken skit about Lois sending Clark back in time to remind her about pointless stuff, he then meets himself while time traveling and realizes he’s shitty relationship… it ends with them putting her while she’s in her car in a pit of quicksand, boop boop boop boop boop boop Superman!
Yea and there's another i recall vaguely where they actually did make superman a dick to everyone around him but he goes with that same catchphrase you said.
Wait yea i look it up. It was one where he gave his powers up to many lovers that was one i was thinking of one of them was batman
It looks like the old man was partway through magically changing into his evil sea king costume, and the boots happen to look just like Aquaman's footwear.
25 seconds in and he's already insulted us. It's like a warm hug.

Content creators should insult their audiences more, tbf
My dad is a Superman STAN like two shelves of merch including kids toys, pencils, and travel napkins kind of stan. I can’t believe I never once thought “I wonder why Superman is being a dick in like so many of these covers??”
He also mostly only has the ones where he’s abusing Batman.
I wonder his opinion of Batman than:)
Also sounds like a valuable collection and a great comic fan. I wonder if he fell in love with Superman from the films or just something else he probably treasure.
It probably wouldn’t’ve taken much longer if Clark just did the money thing as a sort of a side-thing; he saves the miner but then demands money for fixing the mine, he can do all that extra stuff because he takes a vacation as Clark Kent, he cashes in on bounties- basically he still does Superman stuff, but he does money stuff instead of his Clark Kent stuff
2:30 RIP to the Superdickery website. It introduced me to that animation of Mario and Sonic making out
You are a perv you know that?
The what
I will defend this by about 10%. You have to remember that when a lot of these comics were coming out they were being written for people that were semi-illiterate. So the stories had to be simple and they had to literally spell everything off for everyone because if not they would have no fucking clue what was the happening. They actually used to get a lot of letters about it. So they had to dumb everything down.
They just never stopped.
God, we've improved so much since the 50s. I mean, I know that's obvious, but holy shit, we really take our public education system for granted!
Did you say public school system? Excuse me, the correct name is COMMUNIST school system! Certain services like education and car infrastructure cannnot be in control of a public authority in capitalism. 🌈 @@dracocrusher
The problem is that if they stop dumbing things down, then they'll start getting angry letters from the semi-illiterate gang
Yeah basically up until like, the 50s or early 60s having an education was considered like, a privilege for most people.
@@thecaptain6520 Hah, reminds me of the simpsons, with lisa protesting to skinner about making the school more challenging, but then he says he'd have to deal with the dumb students protesting to him, frowning in a vague attempt to understand the situation
My favorite part of the video was Huggbees not knowing what a Junk is
The moment I heard him, I knew it had to be Solidjj doing that Superman voice. Couldn't have better than the both of you in one video. Cheers.
"Superman, surely you aren't going to accept that money"
"Lois, I have bills to pay, do you know how expensive cleaning blood and mud off of spandex? Or even having an apartment that's zoned for flying?"
Batman with other people's girlfriends:
You’re the guy who’s always one of the top comments on shady doorag’s videos
Batman banging a girl who is 20 years younger than him that also happens to be the girlfriend/ex-girlfriend of his adoptive son:
"I don't know how you could ever be depressed when you have heat vision"
You could probably ask that question to Homelander.

40:00 @Huggbees I am not sure you know this but Akira Toriyama actually made a sorta selfish super hero whos who thing is getting paid to save lives called CASHMAN. it did pretty well in Shonen JUMP but ended fast because he did it while doing Dragon Ball at the same time.

40:40 Okay, unironically I do think Superman was entitled to the cash reward. Like the plot was bad, but I'd love it if you actually explored a story where the US government, whether just a city or the country as a whole, began paying superheroes for the bounties on criminals, Super or Not.
Puffer fish don't inflate with air though, they inflate with water. Where would the air come from?
The atmosphere abviously/j
the timing couldn't be better, I was watching Solid JJ's with you in it ong
40:10 - I'm actually sort of amazed that that isn't a comic run or event for Spider-Man, actually.
Him having to get money for treatment for Aunt may, or whatever, that he can't just freestyle himself.
Like SIGNIFICANTLY better than the mephisto plot, think of him having to try to come up with money while still fighting crime, on a ticking clock but still having to refuse to steal, even if it's easy, like a money bag just straight up blowing into the air mid robbery - and he has to web it up and return it, even if it was considered lost by that point.
Is he gonna be bounty hunting?
Abusing his image to get paid for photoshoots or interviews?
Turning himself in for the reward or something?
Neglecting his morals and working at oscorp or whatever for the stupidly high pay, despite knowing his work will be used for profit rather than helping people?
Hell, you could even end up having that be the catalyst for an identity reveal, or a wedge between him and MJ, having to essentially become a celebrity and use their lives as a show for income.
Idk, rambling. But I can see so many ways that Peter being GENUINELY DESPERATE for money, not for himself, but for family or friends, would be one of the biggest possible moral tests of his character and drive.
Batman has the no killing rule, but Spider-Man doubtless would struggle with the seeming upcoming necessity of breaking the law and his own code of ethics that he's beaten and jailed people for.

Or rocks@@kameronhall4448
To be fair Batman should probably kill some of his villains
@@jamalwalker04 The only thing _separating_ Batman from his villains is the fact he doesn't kill anybody. Batman's a lonely and rich costumed lunatic and the only reason his antics *aren't* considered a problem is that he actively tries to prevent death and destruction instead of being ambivalent to it.
@@jamalwalker04 considering batman is just as insane as his villains, he's likely afraid of the idea that if he kills he'll wind up being no better than them. Slippery Slope sorta thing
No wonder why back then people considered a person reading comic books "A nerd" just hearing all these stuff make me feel like a bully in 1980s
3:20 turned it back to 1x speed for getting so called out
Turned it up to 2x since that reminded me I forgot to turn it back after watching a few music videos
The SolidJJ superman impression can't be replaced its too good.
The concept of abusing time so you don't piss off your girlfriend is ridiculous. Superman is basically endangering the whole plant for personal reasons. Time travel is not something you dick around with for petty reasons.
I thought this was gonna be some witty joke or bland complaint about women but then it was just a very straightforward and serious warning not to abuse space-time for selfish and petty reasons.
Well alright then.
Tfw Flashpoint
Depends on how the time travel is written and how the rules are established. You don't HAVE to follow the "time travel is dangerous" concept if you don't want to, because everything about the idea is just made up and writing has been training us to overthink it for the past few decades.
I'd be willing to suspend my disbelief if time travel was a vehicle for the story to go somewhere, but that entire part of the story is just time travel being used for petty motivation with literally no consequences on the characters involved. It's just a waste of a few panels.
You have to understand that the Time-Travel during DC's Silver Age was probably the most inconsequential usage of time travel ever--fuckin *everybody* did it. Batman did it, Flash did it, and half of Superman and Supergirl's histories *depended* on it because of their relationship with the Legion of Super-Heroes, who came from the 31st century. Dicking around with time travel for petty reasons was absolutely normal in 1960s DC.
18:10 I don't wanna be an "Umm Actually Guy", but a Junk is a type of Chinese sailboat.

41:15 An oversupply of diamonds and precious metals driving down the price would be a good thing, as the industries are exploitative and environmentally harmful.
Additionally, everyone working those industries would be freed up to add productivity to other fields.
Superman is restraining himself to protect a status quo of child slavery diamond mines.

Thank goodness modern day Superman has mellowed out into a fine, upstanding citizen that chooses to help people with his gifts and, for some goddamn unknown reason, some dumbass comes up with the 20,000,000 IQ idea of "what if Superman was like me and used his powers to be an asshole?", which unintentionally robs the Man of Steel of his nuance because audiences consider him boring on a surface level and choose to gravitate towards the tyrants and dictators people keep giving godlike powers.
Please watch *My Adventures with Superman.* We need more nice Superman in life.
I love the fact that they thought Puffer Fish somehow just magically generate air, as opposed to, oh, I don't know... swelling with water.
25:31 Proteus is in fact a minor god of ancient greece whose only described ability was seeing the future and being a shapeshifter who will avoid capture at all costs and will only reveal the future to those who can capture him.
Also he is described as "old man of the sea" in Homer's writings but so are others. They took a lot of creative liberties with this comic version but he is the Snowflame of the Sea so I gotta love him, *and* he actually shapeshifted!
Been a Batman guy most of my life recently gotten into Superman. Best silly silver-age stuff was the mini Superman he shot out of his hand, and lil Superman was getting all the glory so big Superman plots to kill him but the little guy gives up his life to save the day and supes is like “aweh man a true hero that guy”
But my favorite has been the radio plays. Superman fighting a random gorilla and chasing an “auto-gyro” are a couple of his best.
You know, this popped up in my notifications at the same time as a media critique regarding abuse in hollywoo. I think we all know which video is more important.
did you watch it now
Which video was it?
Factor is just overpriced tv dinners
I was going to say that I'd much rather buy and eat Hungry Man meals than Factor.
It was super nice of Proteus to come back and save Jimmy's life instead of leaving him to die in the desert!
Huggbees, I'm pretty sure that Superman Seinfeld commercial was a Mandella Effect, you see, Superman says "Look Jerry, what I'm saying isn't rocket science, you can't be seeing a 17 year old when your 38." Than Seinfeld says "Wait a minute! Superman! 17 38?"
🎶 I'M LIKE HEY WHATS UP HELLO
Finally. Another huggbees video containing hours of visual editing, which I will exclusively listen to while doing chores or going to sleep

i want an entire 1 hour loop of huggbees flying through the sky making the wees and the woos like a small child in a rollercoster
It took me a while to notice that Solidjj was voicing Superman! I thought that was just you putting on a different voice!
To be fair to Lois in the first story, Superman missing her birthday was the straw that broke the camels back, not the full reason she broke up with him. This was the era of Superman yelling, screaming, and downright abusing her mentally. Him missing her birthday probably happened a day after he threw her off a building purposely as bait or something
You better bring up the time that Superman makes an offhand joke about using his X-ray vision to look under women's clothes.
Comics like these are the reason some people keep trying to make adaptations more serious while other people say we shouldn’t take them too seriously.
“Junk” is actually the legit name for a type of Chinese ship. So, “Chinese junk” sounds like a racist insult, but Jimmy is in the clear. This time.
I opened the video, saw within a minute that I wasn't subscribed to Huggbees, thought "well that's stupid", and subscribed.
youtube probably unsubbed you it does that to me constantly
The thumbnails changed three times and their all the same artists, so either he can’t decide which to use or he’s just gonna keep changing it
TH-cam has a feature now where you give a video multiple thumbnails, and it'll stick on the one that gave the video the most engagement. My guess is, lady in swimsuit gave more clicks.
