You Gotta Be a Football Hero (1935)

"I'm changing my mind: Hooray for . . . "

[7/10 · 7 August 2019]

" . . . 'Popeye!'" shouts "Bluto's" Main Squeeze--"Olive"--toward the conclusion of YOU GOTTA BE A FOOTBALL HERO. This alleged change-of-heart comes after the virtually mindless aforementioned dimwit has spent an entire afternoon literally playing the contortionist to torture her pretzel-like physique into each of the five letters spelling out B-L-U-T-O's horrid-sounding moniker. There's a saying in football that goes something like this: "YOU GOTTA GO HOME WITH THE ONE WHAT BRUNG YOU." It's easy to picture the fickle Olive hanging out in "Eva's" position with Der Fuhrer down in The Bunker, and balking at the Reich Leader's Sex Pistol, shouting instead "I'm changing my mind: Hooray for Einstein!" YOU GOTTA BE A FOOTBALL HERO goes a long way toward proving that Olive deserves a fate similar to that of Ms. Braun.
