ren and stimpy creator hated 80’s cartoons
| written by geoffrey on 03/06/08 | 5 comments |
here’s a good interview with ren and stimpy creator john k. in the interview, he talks about how much he hated working on 80’s cartoons. he wondered how he was gonna sell his weird cartoon idea in a field of toy-driven shows. of course, nickelodeon later shook up the tv cartoon industry with “creator driven cartoons,” which john mocks nick for claiming they “invented.”
what was one of those dreaded 80’s shows he worked on? see the intro after the jump.

strange internet: why isn’t invader zim in video games?
| written by geoffrey on 03/04/08 | leave a comment |
ever wonder why invader zim is no longer featured in nickelodeon video games? that’s a stupid question!
this video stars invader zim, the “nazis” at nickelodeon, and of course, metal sonic — all with mac computer voices — to explain the story behind invader zim’s disappearance from the game scene.
after the jump, it’s part two — which is even ‘better’ and prominently features r2-d2.

saturday morning cartoon: rocko’s modern life
| written by geoffrey on 03/01/08 | 2 comments |
as a kid, i wasn’t into rocko — it’s innate weirdness reminded me too much of ren and stimpy, a show i appreciated but wasn’t crazy about. now that i’m a grown up, i love catching up on rocko. the characters and situations were always really off-the-wall, and yet always grounded in reality. i like ren and stimpy more now, too. nicktoons were great! here’s some rocko:
rocko’s modern life - “no pain, no gain”
rocko’s modern life - “flu-in-u-enza”

strange internet: spongebob cast dubs classic movies
| written by geoffrey on 02/15/08 | leave a comment |
the cast of spongebob dubs over three classic movies: casablanca, singin’ in the rain and the godfather. they make the perfect choice of keeping the original dialog in tact, so we can just enjoy how hilarious squidward’s voice is in any context. (from gorillamask)
