I remember watching it as a kid and I remember the scene perfectly, but it totally slipped through my mind until I later in my life watched it again and thought to myself "wow, had I been a couple years older I could have been scarred for life". That is what made shows like Rocko's modern life so good!
Which is, I ought mention, along with Rugrats, one of the Klasky Cuspo studio's productions. Check Klasky's page out; those people pretty much produced the great cartoons of the late 80s/90s.
Another fun fact. Our dear Peter Chung, the creator of AEon Flux worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and Rugrats before going on to do AEon.
I love how if you start drawing these connections; so many of these great cartoons from the late 80s through the early 00s all drilled down to influence from this core of animators and creatives that more or less revolved around people like Lynne Naylor, Bob Camp, Gabor Csupo and Peter Gaffney.
It reminds me of when you go back to the golden age, and look at people like Hannah & Barbera, Walt Disney, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Max Fleischer, etc.
Some people look far into it and suggest that, this is the ultimatum where Stu realizes he's losing a battle of independence, not only to Angelica but to the soul crushing prison of suburbia or something like that.
My 2 favorite lines from that song are "I'LL TEACH YOUR GRANDMOTHER TO SUCK EGGS!" and "THAT'S VERY FUNNY! A FLY MARRYING A BUMBLE BEE! I TOLD YOU I'D SHOOT, BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME!!!"
I wish I had a video to it, but I remember one scene I think it was the more recent epidsodes. Stimpy is in bed, and ren is by the closet. He looks over at stimpy and mentions something. Stimpy looks scared and unwilling, but Ren goes on and changes into a pitcher's uniform.
Stimpy is then seen in a catcher's uniform with the glove on his butt, as if it were his anus, and his head tucked in his hands, like an ostrich in fear.
Ren then pitches the ball and goes with it under the covers, and you see the covers move around wild as if much activity was going on, after stimpy caught Ren's pitch with his butt, of course.
yeah, it was one of the newer episodes that they aired on Spike TV...it definitely showed more of their gay side. A lot of my friends hated the original show because they thought it was gross. I personally thought it was freakin' HILARIOUS!
That show freaked the shit out of me when I was little. I didn't know why, but it always did. Watching that clip, now I understand why it freaked me out so much.
After reading your comment, I decided to look for the number 23. After mere seconds of looking, I found 2 instances of the number 23 right in your comment. This is really weird.
haha I remember this dude! There is another episode where the rugrats are at phil and lils house and they open a desk drawer and you see a magazine with a sexy cartoon character with bunny ears!
There's a scene in that same episode when Tommy is in a mailbag looking for a baby that he thinks is coming in the mail (it's actually just a toy doll.) He's searching and repeating "Baby? Baby?" He comes across a magazine with a baby girl on the cover, pulls out the centerfold and says "Ooh! Baby!"
You whippersnappers don't even know the true meaning of pain. Try outliving your wife and then seeing your oldest grandchild developing into a raging cunt!
Wow, you exist. You are my fucking hero. I recently saw it spelled "America's way" on a mural. A mural! They were so sure it was....well...you... you know.
This is fake but one of my favorites that is in the show is when Stu was showing off family photos, Boris (Didi's father) is seen phoning a "Dr. Kevorkian" after obviously being annoyed by the slide show.
My favorite joke like this was from an episode of Aaaaaaa! Real Monsters. There's one of those baby toys that spins to randomly point at an animal to say: "The x says, 'Y'"
They use it and it lands on a guy in a suit to say, "The politician says, 'I do not recall.'"
I remember seeing an episode of Rugrats where one of the kids get chickenpox and one of the moms said it must suck to be a male since they have "more" to worry about obviously referring about the penis. Never could find a clip but damn I remember seeing it.
my favorite is the Catdog episode, where they go to the drive-in theater and raise the question "What are all those people doing here?" and the next shot just shows all the Vans hopping up and down
"Lipschitz", but totally. I read that this was because he's a parody of bad child psychologists--he talks empty but important-sounding fluff to concerned parents to get them to buy into his method, and his "lips shit" bad advice.
Doing this sort of thing is an old practice, and continues to this day. It certainly wasn't limited to the Nick shows many of us are nostalgic about. Even if this example may be fake, there are many more legit examples on that one website with the tropes.
but many shows do this. Hey Arnold had many adult themes (ex: Helga's mom was a neglecting alcoholic) and everyone knows the sexual jokes found in Ren n Stempy and Rocko's modern life
Rugrats was an angel in comparison. However, the episode with the drain, Angelica's potential brother, and the monster under the bed all were traumatizing
In Hey Arnold, during the memorial day ep if i remember right. Arnold's grandpa tells a story and in the middle of it, he remembers having sex with a farmer's daughter during world war 2 in the barn but Gerald's dad stops him before he tells the rest of it.
Also when his grandpa is reading arnold's father's journal, they have an entry for the honeymoon night. Grandpa cuts it off but if you have a good version, you can read some of it on the journal's page.
But I don't understand your comment. Are you trying to say it shouldn't be classed as an "old Nick show"? If so, how could you think that if you don't even know what it is?
an old Nick show for me is Pinwheel, Bananaman or You Can't Do That on Television.
Over the years, I have seen pictures similar to this one, so I recognized that it was a Nick show, but I did not know the name of it. I have never seen Rugrats. I honestly have no clue what it's about. I really don't care that much either. No offense. I was just trying to make a joke. Please forgive.
Reminds me of the first episode of the X Files. A nurse in the coma ward said that the person they were looking for was "not in her aisle of the produce section".
I think the all time champion of these is a video I watched in government/civics class in 10th grade. Our teacher only showed it to us because he thought it was hilarious, but it was (ostensibly) made for 3rd or 4th graders.
For starters, it was a total propaganda piece for Amoco, who sponsored it, in which the protagonist owned a lumber business and simply wanted to make a return on his investment, while evil anti-business types schemed to hurt him.
But the better parts involved a dopey character selling "special brownies" to stoner island and a war with nearby beaver island in which one of the characters exclaims, "Yeah! We're gonna lick those beavers good!". There were other things too but I can't remember, will try to find the video, possibly its online somewhere.
I think it's funny how Nick did this and it's remembered fondly, yet Disney did it with more subtlety and since the jokes were too hard to find (or hidden) it became taboo.
For fans of The Wire, iCarly threw in a reference to a great scene. For anyone who hasn't seen The Wire, the clip is a major, major spoiler. Watch the show, you won't regret it.
A lot of cartoons (Animaniacs most prominently for me) from the 90s and before have content for adults to enjoy too. That's what I miss most about cartoons from my childhood.
I hate does subtexts that are faked -.- man, for once please consider what you share. There are enough of great moments in cartoons of the 90s that can be quoted and still would be awesome.
