The Black Dynamite Cartoon Is Basically the Greatest Thing Ever
Dear foreign people — I’m about 95% certain you’re not going to be able to watch this video, and thus, I weep for you. Because the Black Dynamite cartoon pilot, currently running on AdultSwim.com, is unbelievably fantastic, and I would not deny anyone the joy of seeing it, other than maybe Hitler. To those blessed folks who can watch the trailer, I don’t want to spoil any of the cartoon’s majesty, so all I’ll say is that my mind exploded when I saw Black Dynamite works in an Office/Whorephanage and that it didn’t stop exploding for the next 10 minutes.
