Ah the classics.
A lot of children’s entertainment is body horror… I was recently rewatching Spongebob with my kids, and even that had a bunch of scenes where horrible things happened to the characters.
Literally the same animators making the same joke
Whoa, TIL
I mean… Itchy and Scratchy? Tom and Jerry? Wile E. Coyote? This isn’t really new.
But Itchy and Scratchy was literally a parody of Tom and Jerry poking fun at how central violence was to the humor.
Squidward’s toenail 🥲
I hate you, you know how many years I’ve spent locking this episode away to protect myself from further trauma.
Sends a shiver down my spine.
The one bonus is it got me to brush my teeth.
I still have nightmares because of this to this day.
Nerve endings??? What good are those?!?!?!
I smell something stiiinky!
Interesting while I was a kid watching this scene I don’t exactly remember this being that gross. But now I see why.
The weirdest part of ren and stimpy for me was always the smash cuts to the grossout oil painting-like still frames.
Pure nightmare fuel.
They were called gross ups
Thank you. I’d have had to see some of them if i were to look up what they’re called.
Well worth the search, I have been collecting them for years for reaction texts and avatars.
Thank you I hate it.
Come with me we’ll go and see a place called Candied Island ❤️
there’s all kinds of friends boy
takes a swig
aaaall kinds of friends
King of the Hill had a couple of hitters as well
Loved that. I think spongebob got the idea from them and made it work so well. I miss old animation, real art and soul.
The closeups… yes I can still see them etched in my mind lol. John K was a bodily fluid artisan
They called them “gross-ups” and I love them.
They were pretty F-ed up to a teenage mind on LSD, or so I’m told.
They had the same effect on the minds of twenty-somethings on mushrooms. Or so I’m told.
I grew up in a sheltered environment. I was friends with these guys:
I just remember the one epsiode where Heifer had to sleep in a barn. Next morning he woke up when someone came in to milk the cows, you just saw heifers upper torso, heard a “plop” and then he started looking weirdly and fell over backwards.
I saw that on a weekend on TV during the time when children watch and was wtf did they really just make a heifer had an orgasm because he was milked joke?
That show was still pretty wierd.
Yeah, he was constantly getting invitations from his neighbor. Not to mention he worked for a phone sex service.
Isn’t this also the show that had the bit where a group of butch women on motorcycles show up and proceed to devour all the carpet in his house (i.e. “munching carpet/rug munching”)?
That was Cow and Chicken. Those were the “Buffalo Gals” (“won’t you COME OUT tonight” was their refrain if I recall).
You’re thinking of Cow & Chicken
Fun fact: Heifer is voiced by Tom Kenny who went on to voice SpongeBob.
He was also on the greatest show of all time called “Mr. Show with Bob and David”. And went on to become an absolute legendary voice actor. His imdb page is absolutely insane.
I’ve been needing to watch that, I’ll move it up the list.
Honestly so is that of the guy who did Rocco. Whose credits include among other things the Taco Bell dog and Spyro the Dragon.
Carlos Alquazari definitely did a lot more things, like reno 911. Hillenbrand was a creative executive on Rocco and went of to create spongebob. And, yes, go immediately and watch mr show. It’s not just me saying it, its sooooo many comedians favorite comedy ever. Groundbreaking in so many ways.
Oddly enough, he only voiced Spyro once or twice and Tom Kenny ended up doing the remake and a couple games. Spyro has had way too many different VAs, lol.
Just seconding that mr show is amazing. Honestly every episode always has at least one great sketch and the way they run into each other is very fever dreamesque (in a good way). Like there usually isn’t a clean cut between one sketch to another, they kind of just flow but the things linking them are usually odd - like it’ll be at the end of a sketch and zoom in on a tv in the background and that leads to the next sketch. Variations of that sort of thing.
Rockos modern life was such a banger show too. I’m an almost 40 year old guy and I still occasionally watch episodes of Rocko or a courage the cowardly dog when I need that nostalgia hit.
Ohh that must be where Austin got his name from then
I was just thinking this morning how we all watched “jackass”. How are we all this normal?
I don’t know, to me Jackass was always guys being fucking stupid and nothing to admire. Ren & Stimpy was genuine entertainment though
I was too old but my guess is you tried the stunts and realized your heros are dumb as fuck…? Maybe.
Nothing has ever made me as proud to be an American as Jackass.
My favorite episode is the one where Ren gets split into the two opposite sides of his personality: his evil side, and his indifferent side. I’ve never seen that episode since and I wonder what ever happened to it. I remember it was pretty dark, which is saying something for Ren and Stimpy.
Oh joy!
“No sir. I don’t like it.”
“Call the police.”
yeeaa, the guy that made that is not safe around kids…
Steeeeempy you eeeeeediot!
Fish sauce!
It’s Ren & Stimpy, but I have no idea which episode.

My friends and I had our very own “Log”. Was a nice piece of firewood that we put a Bud Light six pack holder around it.
Lasted several months and we burned it during the last camping trip that Summer.
The Log Song gets stuck in my head on a regular basis to this day
Same here. It’s better than bad; it’s good!
Ha!
