From WFMU’s Beware of the Blog: …Kure Kure Takora, aka Gimme Gimme Octopus, an insane 60s Japanese TV show for kids, starring an octopus and a peanut who are in love with the same walrus. However, love stories are notoriously boring, so the creators of this series made the wise decision to drop copious amounts of acid, and to infuse the series with lots of crime, gratuitous violence, and insect repellent. The music is already great, but the episodes themselves are unbelievable. Here are two of them, teaching the kids about private property, violence, and use of mind enhancing substances: Stealing The Dragon’s Mosquito Repellent Which Is Not At All Psychoactive and Fighting With The Dragon to Steal His Book (both approximately 11 meg MP4 files).
WFMU’s Beware of the Blog have more episodes of Kure Kure Takora for download here.
There exists somewhere a website for this show (perhaps fan created) that is all in Japanese and endlessly loops the themesong.
I used to leave it on when I’d go to lunch to irritate my coworkers.

I love this show. It’s hilarious.
I don’t speak Japanese but it doesn’t even matter. Lesson Learned: Don’t take people’s stuff or you’ll likely be beaten with a stick. It’s a great show, I can’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner.
