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.

[–] username_1@programming.dev 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Because it was ok. People were mentally healthier. Socially wiser. Less hysterical.

People are still that way outside the US, Russia and Afghanistan.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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.

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!"

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

The 90’s were a special time that we didn’t fully appreciate until they were gone.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

I loved the 90s, hit em at the right age

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

You have obviously not watched the brain rot videos kids watch today. Ren and Stimpy is like reading a dictionary in comparison.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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!

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 done untapped potential there.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I didn't know about Kricfalusi. Damn.

Yeah, no kids or adults ever like this sort of thing. It definitely isn't mainstream and wildly popular.

spongebob looking gross

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

Ren: "You know Stimpy. Your wealth of ignorance astounds me."

Stimpy: "Well they don't call me stupid for nothin' "

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it aired at 9pm on Saturdays, though?

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, it wasn't a Saturday morning cartoon. It was on MTV in the evenings.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That was the reboot. The original aired on Nickelodeon, but a more "adult" version was made for MTV after the initial got canceled.

It was on SNICK on Saturday night

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Eventually it was on in the mornings too, but yeah it started as a SNICK thing

[–] TheEEEdiot@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow. Ren and Stimpy in the wild. My namesake.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk I always thought these hyper detailed stills were pretty funny

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

“Gross-ups”!

[–] CallMeAl@piefed.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Probably because it ran on Sat nights not Sat mornings.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!

Whillikers! It's so big.

By far I think the most extreme part that I probable wouldn't wantnkids watching is either the ghost suicide episode or the one where Ren verbally tells Stimpy and his own cousin how he's gonna basically kill them.

Otherwise, it was a weird and at times grossout show that I wouldn't mind letting a kid watch, creator aside.

It was on cable TV, not everyone had this at the time it aired

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also it was part of Snick. Saturday night Nick. It wasn't a morning cartoon
