What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbours dog?

[ending jingle]
Things like this are why I like Lemmy people.
LOG!
*from Blammo™!
Have you seen the price jump for LOG! lately? And people complain about gas prices…
I used to watch this on MuchMusic, it was so disturbing and funny
my car
Because kids love gross-out humor? Lmao
Nearly every 4-10 y.o. I’ve known in my lifetime had “fart,” “poop,” “butt,” and “booger” as their top most said words of the day. The remainder was yammering about their favorite TV shows and books/toys. And bugs. And rocks.
I met Bob Camp once in Atlantic city. He told me very many strange things about his life as an animator but when I told him that those close-ups haunt me in my dreams he simply laughed and said “Yeah! We call 'em Gross-Ups! It was our favorite thing to make!”
The gross up close up. It’s one of my favorite techniques.
EDIT: In fact I saw great use of it in a new cartoon pilot that I quite enjoyed: Gnome Show
I was lucky enough to buy some animation cells from him when he came to our local con.
Yeah, no kids or adults ever like this sort of thing. It definitely isn’t mainstream and wildly popular.
Because it was ok. People were mentally healthier. Socially wiser. Less hysterical.
People are still that way outside the US, Russia and Afghanistan.
Except that’s absolutely not true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics_Code_AuthorityAnyone that thinks that society has gone soft and media can’t really be free doesn’t remember what it was actually like before.
None of those overlapped with Ren and Stimpy. All of those were for the parents of the kids watching cartoons on Saturday mornings, the sole exception being the Satanic Panic from the 80s (which involved the duplicate article you posted about D&D).
Ren and Stimpy was allowed because the people who would cry foul were too cheap for basic cable and didn’t know it existed.
lol, this was on when I was growing up and I, along with a great many of my peers, were rolling with undiagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, etc, because the teachers and adults around us didn’t know shit about mental health, and didn’t help any of us.
Have we reached the point now for my generation that younger people assume those times were better, where people were magically wiser etc, and where older people have rose tinted glasses and start telling the youth how much more mentally healthy everyone was, etc?
People were people then just like they are now. People had mental health problems then just like they do now. It wasn’t heaven on Earth, it was just a few decades ago, that’s all.
Try some good old German tales like “struwwelpeter”. Was fun growing up ^^
One my greatest dilemmas is how much I love Ren and Stimpy’s first seasons but I absolutely despise John Kricfalusi. I can’t even downplay his hand on the show, the humour comes straight out of his sick mind and I love it.
Maybe we should arrest guys like him and, instead of putting them in jail and letting them rot there doing nothing, force them to make cartoons. There may be some untapped potential there.
I didn’t know about Kricfalusi. Damn.
Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kricfalusi
See “sexual abuse allegations”.
Yeah he’s pretty horrible. I try to pretend he was switched with a bad clone…but that doesn’t do much
Yeah the guy was a real piece of shit, sadly the show felt worse when he left the staff and they continued the seasons. It was for the best though since he should have been in jail, rather someone be help acountable than a dumb tv show have better episodes.
The 90’s were a special time that we didn’t fully appreciate until they were gone.
I loved the 90s, hit em at the right age
You have obviously not watched the brain rot videos kids watch today. Ren and Stimpy is like reading a dictionary in comparison.
SPACE ……… MADNESS!
Oh, my beloved ice cream bar…
…how I love to lick your creamy center!
And your oh-so-nutty chocolate covering!
You’re not like the others. You like the same things I do. Wax paper… boiled football leather… DOG BREATH!
Ren: “You know Stimpy. Your wealth of ignorance astounds me.”
Stimpy: "Well they don’t call me stupid for nothin’ "
“They” made the right decision. Without Ren and Stimpy there would not have been a successful SpongeBob SquarePants. Also, a booger collection under an end table? Genius!
It was ok lol. My dad was the one to put me on Ren and Stimpy. It gave me a huge love and appreciation for cartoons and animation in general.
The animators of Ren and Stimpy felt like they put a lot of love in that show. Their enjoyment of their job shines through.
Ren and Stimpy is my favorite Nickelodeon show.
Even more striking is when you look into the creation of Ren and Stimpy and how he kept his job and is still enjoying a free life.
Wow. Ren and Stimpy in the wild. My namesake.
YOU BLOATED SACK OF PROTOPLASM!!!
