One of the most famous cartoon "urban legends" of the last 25 years was the existence of a "secret", banned episode of Dexter's Laboratory called "Rude Removal", or "Dexter's Rude Removal", in which Dexter and Deedee had the rudeness removed from their bodies with a machine that created rude "clones" of them that went around swearing and mooning and flipping the bird. For a while, we didn't even know if the episode existed, and those who swore it did all had different versions of what the episode was like, some with more cursing than others, some with more sexual innuendo, etc. When Adult Swim debuted, we thought we might see the banned episode wind up on there, but no luck... at least not for many, many years. Meanwhile, there were rumors of that special comic convention panel who'd gotten to see it, but those were just that, rumors, unconfirmed and possibly apocryphal, and it wouldn't be until 2013 that we finally got the episode online, with the curse words beeped (though they may have been beeped already when the episode was shown off at a convention in 1998). The result? The episode is exactly what we thought it was... plenty of bleeped swearing, but no nudity or anything like that apart from Dexter mooning the camera on the title card. It was in the eyes of many, a disappointment... definitely rude and definitely out there for a Dexter's Laboratory, but the epic swear and sex fest that some fans swore up and down it was? Not even close, even if the bleeps had been removed. It's "Sailor Mouth", but not quite as witty. Was it nearly what the urban legends had built it up to be? No, and ultimately it serves as a medicore episode of the original show. Why it was made despite knowing standards and practices would likely block it, I don't know. It ultimately turned out to be much ado about nothing, but perhaps that's our fault for building it up in our minds to be much more vulgar than it actually was. --- This signature won't change until Chrono Trigger gets a re-release on a modern Nintendo console. <cite>RySenkari posted [p:974661424] in The 100 Du...

Fred: The Show is a Nickelodeon sitcom based on the webshow starring the character of Fred Figglehorn, played by Lucas Cruikshank. It was created after two successful movies based on the character also aired on Nickelodeon. Its main character is the eponymous Fred, who basically relies on the same shtick that made his webshow famous: his obnoxious and grating voice and his manic behavior (though these have been toned down slightly for the show). Fred has to deal with the trials and tribulations of everyday life, with a dash of the bizarre. Almost immediately, Fred: The Show had to deal with abysmal reviews and declining ratings. The webshow was incredibly polarizing, hordes of kids loved it but plenty of other people hated it, and Nickelodeon first had Fred appear on iCarly (in an episode that could in and of itself make this list and is at least an honorable mention) before signing him to a multi movie deal. The movies themselves were god awful and the show was worse, especially since it asked its audience to like one of the most annoying fictional characters ever conceived. Even during serious moments (which were few and far between), Fred's annoying voice made it almost impossible to sympathize with him. Maybe Nickelodeon wanted something to compete with Annoying Orange, which, say what you will, was at least successful. Fred: The Show had steadily declining ratings throughout its run, and barely made it six months before being canceled. Fred's stint on Nickelodeon lasted right around six and a half months, and as Yoda would say, "Not short enough it was." --- This signature won't change until Chrono Trigger gets a re-release on a modern Nintendo console. <cite>RySenkari posted [p:974662026] in The 100 Du...

RySenkari 07/06/23 1:31:40 PM #468:	#31: John Kricfalusi Blows It, Then Things Get Way Worse https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/3/3/AAAG8cAAEokN.jpg It says something when Ren and Stimpy isn't the most fucked up thing you've ever done. John Kricfalusi is the creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, a controversial but exceptionally popular show that during its heyday in 1992 and 1993 was Nickelodeon's most popular show and one of the highest rated shows on all of cable. Kricfalusi himself was a talented animator with a distinct, if disturbing style, a proponent of all things old-school animation, whose warped sensibilities struck a chord with Gen X and early Millennial kids alike. Unfortunately, this warped mind of his led to numerous clashes with Nickelodeon over the direction of the show, with production delays galore, some caused by Kricfalusi's exacting style, some caused by Nickelodeon's lengthy approval process. Whatever the reason, these production delays and Kricfalusi's abrasive personality annoyed Nickelodeon to the point where they were willing to kick him to the curb despite his show being at the absolute height of its popularity. Though the show would continue for three more years, many fans state it wasn't the same afterward, despite their personal distaste for Kricfalusi's style. In later years, Kricfalusi would work on other animated productions, while occasionally crawling out of the woodwork to criticize contemporary cartoons (sometimes in quite insulting ways). If this were the end of the story, he'd be a borderline case for the list, but of course, for him to be so high up there has to be something else, and that something else is recent accusations of sexual harassment and abuse of underage staffers on his show, along with accusations that he possessed illegal material. While these allegations haven't been formally proven, they're disturbing nonetheless, and with numerous people corroborating them, it adds a further stain on Kricfalusi's reputation, with his lawyer admitting to a brief relationship with a 16 year old girl but denying the other charges. Though he apologized for some of these transgressions, many see the apology as non-sincere, and now John Kricfalusi is known as a cautionary tale in the industry, how hubris and failure to adequately deal with one's mental issues can lead to not only damaging one's career, but the lives of those around them as well. --- This signature won't change until Chrono Trigger gets a re-release on a modern Nintendo console. <cite>RySenkari posted [p:974663624] in The 100 Du...

There's a certain kind of character present in a lot of kids' comedies, both live action and animated. You know the ones, the ones who are always picking on the protagonists, bullying them, pranking them, messing with them... and yet they always get away with it, no matter what they do. The protagonists try to tell an authority figure and no one believes them, or even worse, they get blamed for everything themselves! We've already talked about D.W. earlier on the list, but at least D.W. got punished sometimes... these characters NEVER get their comeuppance, or if they do, it's a slap on the wrist at best. I'll list two of the worst examples here, but there are many: Megan Parker from Drake and Josh is perhaps the most infamous of this type of character, and she's easily in the running for most hated fictional character ever. She torments Drake and Josh to no end, and even has spy equipment in her room so she knows where they are at all times. Her parents never catch her or punish her for her behavior, and she often makes bad situations worse, such as in the episode "Tree House" where she refuses to help the two escape a tree house they accidentally trapped themselves in, and even taunts them with uncooked food and cancels their dates. Then there's Bendy, from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. He only appeared in one episode (that was later revealed to be non-canon after all the fan backlash), but he still made an indelible impression, etching himself as one of the most hated cartoon characters of all time. He pranked the entire Foster's house, getting all the imaginary friends confined to their rooms, and even after being exposed for his deeds, he just ran off after pranking Wilt one last time. Characters like these are an example of some of the sadistic comedy employed by kids' show creators, and while this type of comedy has its place, it's rare to do correctly without pissing off viewers. Writers have utilized this trope a lot less in recent years, but the fact that it took them so long to figure out that we just don't like characters like this shows just how dumb this trope was. Sarah, and to a lesser degree Kevin, from Ed, Edd n Eddy as well. At least Kevin and Eddy were mutually-antagonistic to each other but Sarah getting away with everything she did was infuriating. --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 7; Most recent - Professor Layton and the Curious Village <cite>Underleveled posted [p:974663816] in The 100 Du...

One of the most controversial aspects of the rebooted Powerpuff Girls was the character of Jared Shapiro, Blossom's elementary school crush in the new series. Though created to be the same age as Blossom, he usually looked and sounded quite a bit older than her, and it was heavily suspected that Jared was actually based on one of the show's writers, the man who also ended up voicing him on the show: Jake Goldman. Goldman didn't help these rumors when he had an interview enthusiastically proclaiming Blossom to be his favorite Powerpuff Girl. Though a later interview with another staff member for the show would deny that Jared was based on Jake and that he wasn't a romantic stand-in, fans largely don't buy this explanation, and it's hard to blame them considering how old the character looks and sounds, and just the very fact that he's voiced by the guy he appears to be based on. It also doesn't help that there's another particularly creepy Jared out there (who, if I was doing a list of the 100 Dumbest Moments In Fast Food Promotion would be #1) who also happens to look a lot like this guy. It's just not a good look when there are in-show fantasy sequences of this character with huge blown-up muscles looking like a grown man while Blossom makes heart eyes at him. Even if the character of Jared Shapiro is entirely innocent, and he very well could be, there's a phrase out there that says "avoid the appearance of evil", and this character does absolutely nothing of the sort. In this time when creepy behavior is being called out more than ever, this character was extremely ill-advised in a number of ways, and it's hard to claim ignorance when he checks off so many boxes. This is all sorts of super duper creeper --- So a planet's somewhere out there, their history the same as ours is written. The only difference is that...
