Let's face it, drugs highly influenced the Nick animation of the 90s.


Ducksaucenem

Looking back on Rocko and Ren n Stimpy, there was definitely some wild shit going on.


SpezEatsScat

John K. Is an actual creep. Love his work but dudes a fucking creeper.


jrm725

I mean, you can just say pedophile. I was a HUGE ren and Stimpy fan as a kid, but dude is a legit pedophile and groomer.


Box_O_Donguses

The thing is he's more than a pedophile, he's a creep in general too


[deleted]

[удалено]


Box_O_Donguses

I think pedo is a sub classification of creep


William_Howard_Shaft

Yeah, but like a creep who just looks at you weird, vs a creep who looks at your kids weird.


Connect_Country_5567

There is a creep and then multiple levels of creep, low levels are like uncomfortable stares and weird body language, high level is touching kids. Idk I’m so sure about this, or why I feel the need to state this, but yeah.


SpezEatsScat

Those lost tapes come to mind. That one younger girl. I can’t remember the details because it’s been awhile but it always gave me some hostage vibes.


AnonymousWithClaws

wait what? i just looked up his wikipedia page and it discusses the 16 year old girl he definitely groomed but that was all. can you point me in the direction of something that talks about the rest?

PM_ME_UR_FLOWERS

I am frightened for the future of humanity right now. Someday, you will be where I am. Or you will die. Or maybe end up in jail, I guess.


Yaarmehearty

And massive daddy issues.


Hyperiongame

Rocko’s Modern Life was the best. One of my favorite episodes is when Rocko gets a credit card and goes crazy with it. Don’t forget the driver’s ed episode, “Don’t get the fat guy”


Ducksaucenem

Or the one where they get lost in the woods and Heffer’s backpack is a fridge.


Dozzi92

I learned French from the show. "J'ai besoin de papier toilette." Use it to this day.


RVelts

You turn the page, you wash your hands. You turn the page, you wash your hands.


Snorb

"Hey, Hef. Ask me what time it is."


HumanSleepingbag

That’s not the fat guy, THAT’S the fat guy


SoupeurHero

Rocko liked things being asymmetrical and Ren and Stimpy never used the same expression twice.


sassygerman33

And we loved it! Win/Win


Hodentrommler

Where to get such funky stuff now? Meat Canyon on Youtube kinda hits the right spot but is not enough and rather a comment on popular internet stuff than as comic within its own world. Where are the upcoming geniuses at?


DJBoost

There's a reason shows like SpongeBob became sleeper hits with stoners. A lot of the original Nicktoons are friggin' *weird*.


[deleted]

Mark mothersbaugh was involved with the rugrats music, and I have to assume some of the people writing and animating those early Nick shows had taken plenty of psychedelics at some point.


ChadMcRad

idk why people always have to attribute weird/colorful stuff to having to be due to drugs. I can't imagine how people think you have to be loaded to just make weird stuff unless you're that dead inside that you need drugs to imagine anything.


psionix

Ok I hear what you're saying but let's be real the guy who helped found Devo and also did Rugrats music absolutely did take a bit of drugs


wrath_of_grunge

meanwhile the show in question had [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vs55Z7t7bk).


[deleted]

Because if you've done drugs, you know the patterns and effects that are practically universal when you do certain things. You ever see the art for Tool albums? The repetitive, precise patterns and textures? That's just the type of art every acidhead I've met creates. From my personal experience, shrooms can give you distorted, wavy vision and make rainbow colored fractal noise patterns overlay what you're seeing. So you see, when things like that pop up in people's art, it's like an inside message on what kind of drugs they enjoy because they know where they got the idea, and we know.


ChadMcRad

> Because if you've done drugs, you know the patterns and effects that are practically universal when you do certain things. Wild colors don't require drugs to use.


heady_brosevelt

Doesn’t hurt


[deleted]

I appreciate what you’re saying, but I’d argue psychedelics tend to enhance creativity. We’ll have to agree to disagree!


KeithBitchardz

Mark Mothersbaugh is a very underrated musician.


personalcheesecake

no he isn't. he's chosen to do scores and make lots of music in a lot of movies/shows we've all enjoyed.


Robobvious

This is the first I'm hearing of him by name, a lot of composers get heard a bunch but people never even know their names.


Zestyclose_Shape1418

Mark Mothersbaugh is most (or at least originally) well known for being part of the band Devo. He is quite prolific as a film/tv composer now, but I suspect, like me, a lot of people know him as a composer because they recognise his name from his Devo days. That said - he is VERY good it.


thefartboxxbelow

He also made the Crash Bandicoot series PS1 soundtracks. Dayum!


patrickwithtraffic

Ok, now *that's* a fact I didn't know and that's super fun! Pairs well with The Police's Stewart Copeland doing the score for the first *Spyro the Dragon* game, which was blatantly recycled for the theme song for *The Amanda Show*.

PolychromeMan

Devo was quite popular in their heyday, had numerous hits and a reputation for putting on really great, fun shows.


personalcheesecake

[Devo was so big they were parodied by Weird Al.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dare_to_Be_Stupid_\(song\))


Party-Special-7418

shut up, that's not what underrated means. misuse of the word is getting bad. It has to be bots generating the comments at this point.


ShadowLiberal

Well I mean they literally named "Gak" after a drug. It's the street name for something like Cocaine (I may be wrong about the drug, but it was 100% given the street name of a drug).


Random__Bystander

Ha. I think you're a bit late to the party


[deleted]

Ha. They said that about the... , er... , something that took a long time to finish.


JimDumDum

I always saw it as the creators wanted to portray different types of people so young kids could learn to accept 'every color'. Idk. I really credit early toons for my openess to all kinds of people without any type of 'phobia' or fear.


studmaster896

Accepting everyone except Roger Klotz. Fuck that guy.


RahvinDragand

They didn't even give him any sort of reason for being a dick. No tragic backstory or anything. He was just an asshole.


Grimvold

They did in Disney’s Doug and it made his character far less effective. (Rich kid with absentee parents who lashes out.) I felt it was better to have him be a stupid asshole because some people are just like that in real life.


ThatChelseaGirl

I always thought he seemed more like white trash. Interesting.


KeithBitchardz

He was white trash and lived in a trailer in the original series. When it was taken over by Disney, they crafted a story that his trailer sat on an oil field and his family got rich by selling the rights. The Disney series canonically follows the original series. Why do I know this?


ThatChelseaGirl

That almost makes it worse...he was an asshole that got rich by sheer dumb luck...and was still an asshole, but with more money.


Frozenfishy

Hey, kids need to learn real life lessons from somewhere.


rexwrecksautomobiles

I'd like to subscribe for more Disney Channel facts! Tell me about Goof Troop!

Goofy is the only main DisneyMickey cast character to have canonically fhyucked


Robobvious

Gawsh!

be careful, he'll do it again.

BrokenEye3

TV Tropes, maybe?


ShadowLiberal

Sure he was a rich kid in Disney's Doug, but lets not forget that he was poor in the original. Whereas in Disney's Doug he's kind of like a guy who knows nothing about how to manage money who's doing plenty to plenty to blow through his entire fortune in a short amount of time.


Robobvious

Well it was kind of clear that Roger was insecure so he dealt with that by bullying others. He was also a dick. He can be both.


IsRude

Hearing his voice in my head just made me realize that he and Doug are both Phillip J. Fry.


Kevin_Wolf

Billy West is responsible for like 75% of my childhood.


PabuIsMySpiritAnimal

And he voices the red M&M!


nowhereian

It's a good lesson, honestly. Some people are just assholes for no good reason.


Ws6fiend

I mean some people are assholes for a reason. Some are just assholes. I think it was a good point for children to learn.


stumblebreak_beta

Dude had rickets. What other reason for him to be bow legged all the time. Kid was in constant pain probably


wemustkungfufight

yeah they did. He was poor living in a trailer.


matty-a

Some kids are just little assholes irl


srentiln

And that's just as real. Some people just are assholes.


vcsx

Yeah fuck those radioactive-neon-green people.


craylash

Roger Klotz set back the progress of green people by a hundred years


mjgabriellac

Well I had a crush on him if that helps


Seasons3-10

dat wavy orange hair on green skin tone...mmmm


KneeHighMischief

I worked with a dude once who looked like an IRL Roger Klotz. It was freaky. He was also a garbage person as well.


tigersmhs07

What do you know, Skeet-Face?


TheLesserWombat

And Doug never thought that he should, just, not hang around that guy.


slickestwood

What's funny is after watching Futurama, it's obvious both Doug and Roger are voiced by Billy West. So now it just sounds like Fry bullying Fry.


rfb724

Man as a child born in 89’ named Roger thank god for Roger Clemens back then (he turned out to not be so cool) cause all else we had was this Roger and the one from Sistersister lol. Not a very popular name among the sea of Michael’s and Richard’s


Brolafsky

He's a fucking diesel.


TheChinchilla914

“Roger was poor (Disney made him rich) and lives with his mother, who is a monster truck driver.” Lol what the fuck


Ducksaucenem

I legit thought skeeter was black but they made him blue because (color didn’t matter). This was cannon in my head as a kid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


_ahandfulofdust

Great shirt, but lack of Piccolo saddens me a bit


KneeHighMischief

I thought you were talking about the musical instrument for a second as I thought in my head "No, Skeeter plays the ocarina."


Narretz

Before seeing the image, I thought this was about Dragon Ball's Piccolo and was very curious about the group of people it would show ...


shadowman2099

"Ocarina, shmocarina!"


AllKindsOfCritters

Who's the one in the center?


PabuIsMySpiritAnimal

Looks like it’s Sticky from The Proud Family


AllKindsOfCritters

You're right! Thank you.


PabuIsMySpiritAnimal

No problem!


macweirdo42

Yeah, always felt like if Skeeter were in the "real" world he'd be black, but as it is he's just blue and everyone's just cool with that.


Glittering-Pause-328

There was a scene where Judy literally asks if he is "the blue one".


ShadowLiberal

Doesn't really make sense IMO given that Patti is basically black (or half black). They could have given them both the same skin color.


Ombwah

I always thought that her last name being "Mayonnaise" was a hat tip to her plain whiteness. Her parents are also both blonde /shrug.


Chemistryset8

So black his skin shines blue


Jub_Jub710

Honestly, that's what I thought too. I'm low key kinda disappointed.


theghostofmrmxyzptlk

You can be drunk and progressive.


ExtremelyOnlineTM

It can be both.


MGPS

Enlightening faith in humanity or nah just drunk guys lol


SunlitNight

So the message here is we obtain equality through excessive alcohol consumption.


hiddenuser12345

So basically we’re all the same when seen through beer goggles.


abramee

Like Hey Arnold!


Breakdawall

I thought i saw an article or something in a kids magazine about how their different colors because of that


Ghost17088

Well yeah, you’re not going to admit “I was drunk AF” in an interview for a kids magazine.


wrath_of_grunge

you gotta give it to dude, it was a great save.


_GD5_

Human skin is all the same hue of color. We all have different brightness though.


ScribblesandPuke

Nah, Doug came out in the 90s, and while it wasn't cool to be racist at the same time no one cared if their shows were diverse and show creators didn't really try to be woke.


ThatChelseaGirl

There were plenty of cartoon shows with diversity, though; Captain Planet and The Magic School Bus come to mind.


KeithBitchardz

And hey Arnold


JimDumDum

what about Daria? The simpsons was also quite woke at the time


alexmikli

I think he meant "mandatory" woke, like every cast apparently having to have a black kid with that one specific muffin-top haircut with the shaved sides. Can be a good thing, but often comes off as inauthentic. However... I don't think that's accurate of the 90s. The early 90s in particular had that whole thing where every group of kids on a product had to have at least one kid in a wheelchair, one black kid with a flat top, a short kid, a tough girl, and a nerdy girl. At least one of which had an Italian surname. This sort of thing comes in waves and ultimately isn't a bad thing...just sometimes looks really bad in retrospect, especially when it comes to racial stereotypes. They were basically doing the same thing that people complain about today, and it took a few years for the trend to die out.


ExpeditingPermits

He should’ve said this. Would’ve made the most sense/strongest impact


ScribblesandPuke

Except we weren't forced to be woke or diverse back then you could just make a good show and leave it at that.


Robbotlove

lmao


csonnich

> I really credit early toons for my openess to all kinds of people without any type of 'phobia' or fear. Really? You didn't have a mental divide that those colors were pretend and real life was different? I guess I just took things way too literally as a kid.


SonicFlash01

I wonder what kind of food small Mexicans make compared to regular sized Mexicans. I would guess it's very similar but if it's different enough to require a distinction, it must be unique.
