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.

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.

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.

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.

Well worth the search, I have been collecting them for years for reaction texts and avatars.

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.

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).

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.

parent

[–] Shindo66@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

parent

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago*

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.

I was just thinking this morning how we all watched "jackass". How are we all this normal?

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.
