As a kid, I remember watching this cartoon which (I think) was about Beethoven, and all the characters were musical instruments that got transformed into animals.

Now I'm questioning whether it ever existed.

Did you get really confused about Peter and the Wolf?

Nope, this was an actual cartoon that aired. I think it might've been one of those "educational" ones to teach kids about history or something.

It was aired during the early 90s.

Huh, what?!

The OP's description about the cartoon does have nothing in common with Peter and the Wolf - do you even know what Peter and the Wolf is about?

Hi! Peter and the Wolf is a symphony about a little boy, Peter, and various animals, each of which is represented musically by a certain instrument. Disney made a cartoon of it in 1946.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_the_Wolf

The asshole (you) is represented by a sad slide whistle.

This thread is making me laugh.

"Do you even know what Peter and the Wolf is about?" is my favorite new way to ask if someone knows what they talking about. Similar to "Do you even go here?"

Let's make this a trend.

It is the only way to ask someone who clearly couldn't understand the original question.

But I'm happy that I was making you laugh! :)

I don't even know why it was so funny. It really is the only way to ask that question. I think it's just the way I'm imagining you saying it. Like, kind of irritated and incredulous.

Exactly, it is about Peter not Beethoven and the animals do not turn into instruments. But again you lack reading comprehension.

And really: Did you get really confused about Peter and the Wolf? the only one acting like a asshole is you (again).

But the important thing is that you come across as condescending and patronizing as possible. Try to read first before you comment.

Don't be so harsh about chard, most people here know that reading comprehension isn't her strong point.

I always think it's hilarious when she answers disdainfully when she didn't even understand the question right.

Uh okay, I didn't know this. I just wondered why someone would give a false answer and act simultaneously as all-knowing.

Thanks for clarifying, I think I will stay out of arguments like this, seems too much like troll feeding.

So which member of the peanut gallery are you, exactly?

She seems to have understood the question perfectly well.

You, however, seem to have an irrational hatred for a stranger on the internet.

Uh, OP said the instruments turn into animals, not vice versa. Peter and the Wolf is a viable guess based on OP's fuzzy childhood memory and the limited information.

DA

OP wrote about Beethoven and that instruments turn into animals. Peter and the Wolf is not about Beethoven and the animals there are only represented by different instruments.
I don't thinks that's a viable guess.
It doesn't help how chardmonster was phrasing her question at OP.

Okay, I know the rule is to not explain the joke and I'm sorry chard, if I'm stepping on your toes here.

But that's why she said Did you get really confused about

If someone got really confused about Peter and the Wolf they might imagine it to be a little different, because that's what confused people do.

Chard's original comment was pretty obviously related to the subject and there was nothing assholish about it, since the OP said that they were confused about their memories. You are just having a hateboner for her.

Do you even know what condescension is about?

But again you lack reading comprehension.

Haha, oh wow. Yes, I can't imagine why someone would mention Peter and the Wolf in a thread about a cartoon with musical animals.

The asshole (you) is represented by a sad slide whistle.

Aaaand just like that you go from defending your interpretation into being an obnoxious cunt.

It's sad I was reading your comment and nodding along, "Huh, yeah I suppose I could see it like...Oh chard why you gotta be such a dick?"

Did you get really confused between Peter and Beethoven?

I'm sad that I wasn't here yesterday but I have the ultimate guide:

Chardmonster's guide to suck at commenting

1. Fail at reading

2. Your question should come across as arrogant and rude as possible (but without swearwords) : "Did you get really confused about Peter and the Wolf?" -> meaning: haha, you're so stupid (instead of i.e. "Did you mean perhaps Peter and the Wolf?")

3. When someone calls you out on your shit, give them an example that confirms(!!) the other commenter

4. Call the other commenter asshole

Result: No real help/answer for the OP; not understanding OP's question

I'm like 98% sure that you're reading a rudeness into Chard's question that she never put there. That question doesn't have to mean "ha ha you're so stupid". It can just mean "Is it a possibility that you're misremembering Peter and the Wolf?" Which is a reasonable response, I think.

Anon's guide to being a pseudointellectual in fandom spaces

1. Accuse people of being unintelligent over a small disagreement

2. Make a hypocritical call for decorum after being incredibly insulting

3. Arrange complaint in list format so as to make information seem substantive
