So The other day Skunkape kept recommending this movie called "The Baby" from 1973. Ever since I can remember, possibly during a slap happy up too late tirade I came up with the hilarious concept of a BABYMAN. It's one of those inside jokes that only a couple of people think is funny, like Jar Jar Binks. only stupid annoying fat kids like Jar Jar(that probably not true, I'm just thinking of that South Park). I saw a real one when I worked at William Sonoma(what a hellish nightmare that was) this co worker never climbed a ladder to retrieve any products, he's just listlessly stare at other stock people and motion for them to get it, or he'd half climb a ladder and then just walk back down.You could tell his mom threw him out of the house and into this Christmas job, but man do I hate peope who slow everything down for everyone else and make work even shittier. He had a mop top and it looked like he wore a diaper and me and this other guy referred to him as a babyman, a giant toddler who somehow never developed.
Don't ever google babyman all you get is creepy sex fetish man in a diaper picture, that's gross and not what I meant. The concept is very delicate and often not funny or just creepy. The Baby directed by Ted Post is a trash classic that Synapse is putting out pretty soon. The Baby in that one looks very mod like Keith Moon-
He's surrounded by crazy women who zap him with a cattle prod when he tries to stand up like a man. The quintessential babyman I imagine is Joe Besser from Abbott and Costello. Also check out this really in depth review of The Baby
