Ha! Efren Ramirez!
Recognizing him was the only funny part.

Was that an uncredited appearance by Demorge Brown of Gumbel "like the fuckin' newscaster" fame?

I never made the connection before now, but Captain Planet is a really tall Oompa Loompa.

Robot Chicken did it better.

Didn't do much with either the concept or the actor. Made some stock "I talk like a black guy" jokes, though.

Yep, pretty terrible, which is why I voted "Die"

No, what? This is amazing? The tentative victory in his voice... "everyone... everyone's a tree..."

2nd one is the best. So fucking awesome. Also cf Gif Collection.

Last 10 seconds of CP2 made me almost die.

There's lots of weird things that Captain does that goes into extremist supervillain territory. There's some kind of Dr. Manhattan vibe going on when he's overlooking the planet too.

You mean, the shot that's directly taken from Superman Returns?

The second one is the best of the bunch. The joke works best in short, horrible spurts.

Best moment was the slo-mo pimp roll away from the building which explodes into foliage behind him.

Some of you are beyond lame for not laughing at this.

No, because Superman Returns NEVER HAPPENED.
