One contemporary environmental book to The Lorax was Paul Ehrlich’s The Onceleration Bomb, which proposed that the current rates of Onceler reproduction were unsustainable and that governments should implement a strict population control policy. It contained the memorable lines,
If all of the Oncelers keep breeding, you see, We’ll watch half of them starving to death on TV!
These fears inspired the Charlton Heston film Seusslent Green.

I was 12 when this movie came out and liked it enough to buy the soundtrack on itunes. I had loved the 70s animated versions of Dr. Seuss. To 12 year old me this super cool. Then, I got my first feeling of "everything you like as a kid will be ruined by the internet". Because googling a movie at age 13, then finding the main character kissing himself isn't the vibe.

Genuinely, thank y'all for this. A lot of stuff in my life fucking sucks right now and just being able to do the dishes this morning and laugh at The Boob-Loving Onceler helped it be a little better.

Ed Helms (VA for the 2012 Onceler) found out about this and did not like it.

As a clarification, because I hate being misunderstood, I did not go through and list which onceler ask-blogs were inactive, that was already on the wiki.

Incredibly quotable episode with multiple audible guffaws from me, most notably the description of Swampscler. Yes, exactly like Slenderman, sure, of course.

I had no idea this existed and I'm not sure I'm happy you told me. I can't stop thinking about two Oncelers making out awkwardly, and then someone's face gets ripped off by braces.

I think it might have been a whole generation's moment of clarity where it dawned on them that maybe they had gotten carried away with shipping being their only means of engaging with media.

A lot of discount theaters will run old kids movies just to get people in the door. Some places as cheap as $3 per kid and $5 per adult. Wouldn't really surprise me if one of those types of theaters was playing The Lorax.

It's a coin toss as to whether I want to post an actual for-real breakdown of why the Lorax movie is bad or if I want to just shitpost the Once-lersona that popped into my head shortly after finishing the recording. CALL IN AND VOTE!*

I'm catching up with a huge F Plus backlog, and this episode is really special. I definitely have to echo that the song from the movie fucking sucks, though, jesus christ who wrote that and why
I honestly assumed the bit about "everyone who was once in this fandom is completely ashamed of it now" was going to be about the people who made the 2012 film, and I suspect that's also true!

This is giving me painful flashbacks to being a dumb teen in IRC roleplaying channels and making "parody" characters to make fun of other people's dreadful OCs, smugly unaware that this was absolutely as stupid as the OCs we were making fun of.
