    What’s so funny about an airship? It sounded like a pretty good idea to me.

  2. MadCalicoJess says:

    What detail! They even made sure to add some mercury fillings in some of the cackling puppets!

  3. Sean says:

    and that’s how super villans are created…

  4. Sari Everna says:

    I was waiting for them to suddenly stop laughing and say “that’s a great idea”. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

    Using water to simulate laugh-tears was a nice touch, though. Creepy, but a nice touch.

  5. hillel.kitty says:

    Looks almost like a Robot Chicken clip. Nice puppets!

  6. ThatWolfOverThere says:

    The creepiest thing about that is probably the angle that the clips of them are shot from.

  7. Flaghbaghle says:

    Everything is creepier with puppets…

  8. Goldie says:

    Oh my God, this show used to terrify me as a kid. I couldn’t tell what the hell they were. They use real hands for the puppet hands.

  9. Philip says:

    Ehm… they already had planes when it was made. He meant a flying ship.

    The show is old, but not as old as the airplane. The first commercial airliner was built in 1952. Thunderbirds ran from 1965 until 1966.

    The very first episode of the series featured a NUCLEAR POWERED AIRPLANE WHICH FLEW AT MACH 6.
    The reason why the proposal was laughed at was because an airship (aka a zeppelin) was so primitive compared to nuclear powered airplanes.

    Why would they want to invest in a giant balloon filled with helium when they’ve already got NUCLEAR POWERED AIRPLANES!

    Exactly.

    (the scene is from “thunderbird 6″)

  10. Heretoday says:

    Thunderbirds are GO!

  11. Bryonia says:

    Nice 60′s decor

  12. Stephanos says:

    Does the idea of a giant flying sausage not stir their loins into fits of manly extravagance?!

    Incidentally, they actually built the airship too.

  13. Emmma360 says:

    Next, he turns the intercom off and mutters to himself ‘We’ll see who’s laughing when I make my airship.. muhahahahaha’.

  14. 2E1HSB says:

    oh god nostalgia! I have this on VHS.

  15. Fabs says:

    You know, they did the same thing to the guy who introduced airplanes..oh wait..

  16. The root cause of Elton John’s later crankiness.

  17. papasleotard says:

    i saw john mccain…did you?

  18. dreamingpixel says:

    After that kind of cackling, I half expected them to start tearing him to pieces as part of some demonic ritual. Someone needs to explain to this young man that airships are strictly for steam-punk alternative realities.

  19. Kouga says:

    It really kind of looks like Team America from the 1960s, just scarier.

  20. A BiPolar Guy says:

    No team america is like the :-) And not by accident. Team America satirized series like this
