Purno de Purno | comment |
Purno de Purno is a Dutch adult Surreal Humor computer-animated series created by Marcus Vlaar and Hans Wessels.The series is about a purple-suited man named Purno, who frequently finds himself in bizarre situations along with very strange individuals. The plot starts with a princess having her beauty stolen by a group of thieves, leading to Purno to go on a adventure to retrieve her beauty. After that ends... well, that's when it fully dives into Mind Screw territory.Originally airing on VPRO in 1989, the surreal, bizarre exploits of the purple-suited man proved popular with adults, teenagers, and children alike (due to airing on a children's timeslot, of all things). The series would later continue until 2007, with a total of five shows.In 2001, VPRO aired a Spin-Off called Purno Poseert, which depicted a CGI Purno in the real world interacting with Dutch celebrities (serving as a crude documentary series). | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
Purno de Purno / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the first episode of the show, one of the three people who challenge Purno to a race punches the screen and cracks it at some point. Purno actually watches his own show in one episode. His television depicts exactly what is going on in the actual episode... which is literally just Purno watching himself watching himself. That is, until the TV loses signal and displays static. | |

The series is full to the brim with strange scenarios, random incidents with no further explanation, surreal imagery and character designs, and all joined together into a hodgepodge of strange events. The first series has Episode 2 starting off with Purno being chased by a pair of teeth in the desert, where he finds himself near a labyrinth. After being greeted by a laughing skull, he gets lost in the maze. There, he tries to get out by singing notes that become solid, so that he can walk on them to the top. | |

Shout-Out: Purno's hometown, Hootchie Cootchie Town, gets its name from one of the names the Purno team used, Hootchie Cootchie Cartoons. One of the humans in the Homomuseum is called the Homo Playstationus. He even has the PlayStation controller's buttons as toenails! The name of the episode "Sunil Baba and the Forty Degrees". Similarly, the name of the episode "Beauty on the Beach". At the beginning of "Coconut Sjakie", Purno says "Now you're playing with power!" Later on in "Coconut Sjakie", Bugs Bunny of all people pops out and helps Purno and Sjakie to find their way out of the video game. | |
