Johnson and Friends - Scary

One of my mates mentioned accordions in a Twitter and so I got to thinking about Johnson and Friends and McDuff who was an accordion. The logistics of her movement never seemed to trouble me when I watched it back in the day but they do now. How would she move around? Shuffling?



Another point is her face, above, which although is pleasing and semi arousing it’s essentially a handle with two buttons. Based on the symmetry of an accordion, I would assume that there would be a handle and buttons on the other side too. Which means that there’s a face on her feet. Why is her face the one that they focus on? How would this make any movement possible at all? What is wrong with the other face? Is it the Quasimodo of accordion faces? Maybe the other face is evil or has Tourette’s and shouts stuff like “Johnson is a fat pink poofter” Or maybe it’s a Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen time share role and the face is exactly the same so it looks like there’s one face but there’s actually two of them operating like a tag team.

Here’s a clip from Youtube of the title theme which is quite catchy. As the description says it’s a “MAD AS TV SHOW!” Mad as what? Kids these days and their lack of adjectives.
