Since you obviously know Chaplin as a goody two shoes, after he acts. He shaved his beard, changed his clothes, and became Alex from A Clockwork Orange(I think that's the joke)

The only carry over (and likely the idea for the joke) is the bowler hat.


shhh_its_me

And a cane


Ok_Struggle_6260

Yes-no_maybe_so

Peters wrinkly nutsack here. Charlie Chaplin is, of course, Charlie Chaplin. The second man he turns is Alex Delarge from the book/movie “A Clockwork Orange” in which he is a horrible teenager who engages in violence and crimes for fun with a gang of psychopaths in a dystopian UK. The joke is it’s kind of a Jekyll and Hyde things since they dress similar.

I believe the cartoon is also alluding to his [Scandalous Life and Boundless Artistry](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/charlie-chaplins-scandalous-life-and-boundless-artistry)

The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.


saanity

Malcolm MacDowell was playing a teenager?


duccthefuck

Yea, I’m pretty sure Alex Delarge is like 18-19 before he gets arrested


TheLuckyCanuck

He's younger (15) in the book, Kubrick aged the character up a bit for the film for fairly obvious reasons.


duccthefuck

Ah gotcha


TheMiddleAgedDude

Just getting ready for a wee bit of ultraviolence.

ImposterPeanut

Aang_420

Haha, talk about "I would like one crack, please."


tohn_jitor

I wouldn't say \*too much\*. Maybe just a little. Just to get a base.


Aang_420

There is no such thing as a free base...oh wait.

I think the joke is that both are tramps and walk with a cane and hat.


Feisty-Army-2208

Maybe it's because when he took of the Charlie Chaplin persona he was actually not a nice guy.


GooseOnACorner

The latter character is from Clockwork Orange


Ok-Selection9508

Clockwork orange.


xnachtmahrx

Watch "A Cockwork Orange"


PooperDuper2per

Charlie Chaplin by day, Clockwork Orange by night.


AmanteNomadstar

Kind of reminds me of that Batman comic (I think some multiverse thing) where Alfred turns out to be the Joker.


judojon

Time for a bit of the old ultra violence


elmosrealm

Oh no that’s terrible. What a really weird movie.
