LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL TOONCAST CLASSIC HOLIDAY SHOW!
Geeks:
Mike “TFG1″ Blanchard
Steve “Megatron” Phillips
UNLEASH THE TOON IN YOU!!!!
Mike, someone needs to sit you down and explain this Ren & Stimpy thing to you. I don’t know what episodes you saw, but it probably wasn’t a John K. episode. John K. did a lot of booger and fart jokes, but he never did gross-out humor. For all of his hubris, the guy actually did very innocent cartoons….with fart jokes.
The ones that are gross are the Games Animation episodes, after John K. left. This is NOT a John K. cartoon. “A Scooter For Yaksmas” is a terrible, awful shitfest of a cartoon and not even close to the quality of animation that John K. is known for. THIS IS NOT JOHN K!
And besides which, John K. is right about a lot of the things that were wrong with the animation industry at that time. You have to put this context of the late 80s and early 90s and not just attack him for his opinions of cartoons that you like. The animation industry in the 80s really was abysmal. To have things like Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, and Batman would have been impossible without John K and Ralph Bakshi basically convincing network executives to financing the sort of animation industry that didn’t even exist a the time.
He hated Tiny Toons, because he thought it was the wrong foot to put forward. Tiny Toons isn’t the quantum leap forward that Ren & Stimpy was. It really was taking Looney Tunes characters and shrinking them down into kids, whereas John wanted to make something new that built off the foundation of what Bob Clampett and Tex Avery had done without directly copying them.
You would rather watch every horror movie ever than an episode of Ren & Stimpy? Really? Because I’ll give you Hostel, Human Centipede, and A Serbian Movie. Let me know when you tap out.
Also, let me know if you ever plan to do “Son Of Stimpy”. A good cartoon.
Yeah I’ll let ya know. Thanks for listening, and commenting.
Maybe I don’t get R&S because I never saw it when it was popular.
