One Got Fat: A Bicycle Safety Film

"He may not be a monkey, but he's clearly an asshole. He left his stranded, injured and dead friends behind all so that he could eat their lunches?"

I suggest a different view of this. In an earlier shot, you see the other nine monkeys having fun, but you don't see Orville. I think Orville resented the fact that he was good enough to be their mule, but not good enough to frolic with the nine monkeys in that shot. So when they all ended up in traction, he ate their lunch in an act of revenge. :P

Fuck that. What really happened at the very beginning of the film is Orville sped on ahead to the park to eat their lunches when the monkeys weren't looking, this caused all of the monkeys to worry regarding the whereabouts of both Orville and their lunches. As a result, their minds being so distracted with worriment, each monkey didn't pay enough attention to the road and got picked off one by one.

You know you're distracted when you let a steamroller crush you.

I think you might be onto something there, perhaps all the little monkey kids aren't the horrible bastards we think they are for leaving their dead comrads lying in the street. Rather than being indifferent to all the bloody corpses they were too concerned about that asshole orville running off with their lunches to notice.....


besides that, shouldn't we maybe give some of the blame for running over the monkey kids to the people driving the cars? especially the steam roller, how hard can it be to stop something going a whopping 400 feet per hour?

That works too. As long as someone is fucking someone over I'm happy
