If your childhood was anything like mine, and let’s hope that it wasn’t, you watched an awful lot of TV. Not just at home, but in school too, thanks to teachers who were way more inclined to let AV tools teach a class than use their own words. “Let Me Google That For You” wasn’t actually in place, but the notion was still in its infancy even before the internet allowed us to be so lazy we use it to add, subtract, check the weather, and (probably) tell time.
One of the things we watched in gym way back when, was Goofy’s wonderful guide to basketball, a Disney short called “Double Dribble.” I hadn’t watched or even thought about this film in lord knows how long, so legit props to the Redditors for unearthing a YouTube copy of it uploaded in 2006.
It’s got all the prerequisites for a good Disney cartoon – visual gags, puns, repetitive jokes (“Passes it to West!”), and Goofy (and all the other Goofys?) doing what Goofy does. The coach is smoking a stogey and wearing a trench coat, and I kind of wish Jason Kidd would do that at some point. Plus there’s more than enough fun had at the expense of the refs, and who doesn’t love that? There’s not exactly a whole lot of instructional detail in there, but we have Gregg Popovich’s immortal motion offense video for that if you’re really looking to get weird.
That 16-12 halftime score is such trash, though. That freaking Four Corners, offense, man.
