The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman Head
July 14, 2010 Last week, we left our courageous cranium in the grips of the Evil Dr. Irving Expector Ant and his band of Belliger Ants. Will our hero escape? Or will the city of Metropolis be overrun with outrageous outlaws most...malignANT? Let's find out, as we continue with...
Ant minion #1: "Haha! We've got you now, Spiderman Head!Dr. Expector Ant: "Silence! I kill you!!"
Ant minion #3: "Um. So...is now a good time to ask for a promotion?"
Ant minion #1: "Hey, where'd Spiderman Head go?"
Dr. Expector Ant: What?!? He's escaped?
Noooooooo!!
Meanwhile, our bravely balancing brain bowl bounced his way to freedom!
"My trusty spider-bot ought to crash their party. Ha! So long, ignorANTS!"With the persistent pest population handled, Spiderman Head heads home for some much-needed family time:
"G'nite, Mom, g'nite, Dad!""Goodnight, Son."
"Uncle Sherb?
"Da-aad! I think we brought the football in instead of Uncle Sherb again."
"Don't worry, son, we'll get him out of the yard in the morning."
Little did Spiderman Head know that his brother Sherb was NOT in the yard, but rather in the grips of the maniacal madman, Monochromatic Max!
"Aaaauuugh!! Help me, Spiderman Head!"Will our noteworthy noggin' notice his brother's absence in time?!? Or will Uncle Sherb be doomed to a colorless demise?
Tune in next week for the thrilling continuation of...
Thanks to Wreckporters Tim H., Stephanie Z., Margaret R., Carolina D., & Amy H. for helping me get ahead.
Update from john: Spiderman Head is the Amazing Spider-Man's nephew. In an act of teenage angst, he de-hyphenated his name and moved to Metropolis where he currently works with Super-Man Head.

Is that cookie moldy? Just ick.
That was hilarious! Thanks for the morning laugh.

Wait...so Spidey has an Uncle Sherb and an Uncle Sherm?
The cupcakes with the football kind of reminds me of that Sesame Street song - "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not the same..." lol! Crazy!
So is Spiderman Head and ants a new prevalent cake design out there? These cakes are crazy...but why are the first two identical in design?
I will stay tuned for the next thrilling episode. Ba-Ba-Bum.
HAHAHAHA! Dr. Expector Ant has been learning from Achmed.
"Bravely Balancing Brain Bowl" I must find a way to use this in a sentence this week.
Dr. Expector Ant?? OMG, you just made me to a SPIT take!! LOL!!
Great post! I'm sensing an instant classic!
Bonus points for the Achmed the Dead Terrorist quote!!!
Anyway, there's no spiderman head on the second cake (he escaped, remember?). I think the cake design is just "ants stealing a cupcake" and the first one just happened to be a spiderman-head cupcake...
Awesome!
wv: idesse. Don't give wreckerators any more bad idesse.
Does it make me a geek if I read the whole thing with the movie announcer guy's voice in my head? Thanks for the laugh, you're absolutely brilliant!
Kudos for the annoying, affected and awesome alliteration.

As a comic book geek I feel I must point out that Spider-man does *not* reside in Metropolis. Spider-Man patrols New York City and the surrounding environs. Superman lives in Metropolis.
After that... hilarious.
I enjoy the Achmed reference.
I hope this isn't another Epcot, but... isn't Metropolis the city for Superman? Spidey hearts NYC!
Love it when you tell a story using cake wrecks :)
That is some great writing! You should turn it into a comic book and release it. ;)

OMG, I laughed and laughed. The first one is ants at a picnic - thank you for the second one to explain that. Why the football, did they run out of flotsam?
You know, the stories you write to connect all the wrecks really make it work. I like!
"Silence! I kill you!"
I love that Dr. Expector Ant is channeling Jeff Dunham's Achmed, the Dead Terrorist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umpdfYuVwmQ
I kind of like the ones with the ants stealing the cupcake (not sure how Spiderman fits in, though).
I can't wait for the next installment of Spidey head. Should be worth the wait.
Monochromatic spidey is just gross. They couldn't spring for the extra icing to actually ice the ENTIRE cake? Eeeewwwww.... it makes the other ones, surprisingly, seem professional. Bodiless and all!
I am speechless!!!! (In a good way!)
*slow clap*
Awesome!
You almost made me snort Dr Pepper out my nose! This was great. :)
Who knew that Achmed the Dead Terrorist moonlighted as Dr. Expector Ant? Love the reference! Weird how Spidey heads are so popular ... *scratching head*
Love your site,
Rachel
Oh, my gosh. Those were the best names of all time! I just lol'd so much! Your attention to the little details is amazing--you're so ped-ANT-ic, in the best way psosible =D
So, um, not to call you out as being less geeky than you imagined...But, Spiderman lives in New York City. Superman lives in Metropolis. Although, perhaps your point was that Spiderman Head lives in Metropolis? Anyway, it was totally hilarious. Great story.
oh the hilarity! My 4 year old loved it.
He not only had an Uncle Sherb and Sherm, but apparently a brother Sherb as well. Who knew? And he lives in Metropolis not New York? Total weirdness haha
Jeff
ROFL!!!
Love the Achmed the Dead Terrorist reference!
Spider-Head!
Spider-Head!
He's a spider and a head!
This was really funny! You had me chuckling as I read this, especially the first part. That was pure genius.
However, I do feel obligated to finally point out that correctly, there's a hyphen in his name. It's really supposed to be Spider-Man. But that's just a tiny little detail.
Personally, I can't wait for the next episode of "Spider-Head!"
This definitely goes in my Top 5 Favorite Cake Wrecks Posts Ever!
References to Achmed the Dead Terrorist, the Waltons, and The Fly all in one post. Brilliant!
Hate the ants on the cakes. We had one at our Albertson's store. Ants on watermelon CCC. Patooie!

Love the Achmed the Dead Terrorist quote - I wonder if there are any Achmed wrecks out there....hint hint...
The ants on a picnic blanket is a cute idea, but the Spiderman Head is very out of place. Either way, I love the Achmed reference! "A-C-phleeegm"
I just thought I'd let you know, Cake Wrecks brightens my day every time you post. I really enjoy this blog... and Epbot is great as well for my geeky, girly fill. :)
Thank you for doing what you do!

Ants? On a cake. That is supposed to be eaten. Ewwwww.
Great way to weave a story, Jen! (you got it, right - WEAVE)
BTW, Sherb transmutated to Sherm in the last paragraph. Might want to clean that up.
The Ant comments reminds me so much of the Xanth series.
every post is funny. every cake is horrific. this post shows why you are a blogger on another level. Truly great humor writing and glorious display of geekiness! much love!
I like that Dr. Expector Ant is also a dead terrorist...
Gray frostiong for spiderman?
LOL, please, just don't bother next time.
All the Ant words remind me of Xanth novels by Piers Anthony, a fantastic read if you got the Ant jokes! And I loved the anouncer voice, I did the same thing for my bestfriend's bachelorette party, it's a superhero theme! lol. Keep up the great work!
I'm thinking you had A LOT of fun writing that post. I certainly had fun reading it! Nice work!
Spider-Head!
Spider-Head!
Fights a terrorist who is dead!
Lives in New York!
Not in Met-
tropolis

Hey, look out!
Ants stole the Spider-Head!
WV: persi - persiAN ice cream is my new favorite thing in the world! (Well, it is)

Dr. Expector Ant = Achmed? Ach! Say it ain't so! Spider Man Head is in trouble!!! He might laugh to death.
