I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.

this show was before my time so i had no idea what it actually was before i watched the video, but, holy poo poo. :catstare: even some of the "normal" sketches like the firing squad were absolutely surreal to see on a kid's show

im gonna have to check out the rest of the nick knacks series now, this stuff is fascinating

I sorta grew up with the show a bit later than when it was originally on - YTV (Canada's answer to Nick) had that show on regular rotation in the 90's as a way to keep Canadian content ratios up, or at the very least I wouldn't have watched that show until 1989 or so and I remember watching it and thinking "this show is obviously old, but I've never heard of it" when it did air here, or else I just missed the original run.

Thinking back, yeah, it pushed a lot more topics than anything now would, though I think some of that was the tendency of writers back then not having any concepts of "kids shouldn't say that", or even that being the whole joke. If you want some serious wtf, go back and look at the Mini Pops from the early 80's, which was basically Kidz Bop only not bothering to change any lyrics and make music videos a recreation of the original videos starring literal eight-year-old kids, and it took a while before there finally was a HOLY poo poo THAT IS NOT OKAY response.

Plus for a long time kids entertainment was seen as throwaway shows with zero oversight to fill time, so anyone willing to pump out content that people watched was ok. For more Canadian weirdness look up The Hilarious House of Frightenstein - they shot 130 episodes, 50-minutes each, in nine months.

But yeah, there was definitely some WTF creepy undercurrents to that show that I didn't pick up on then, much like everyone else. I'm relieved it doesn't go into full Jimmy Savile territory but that's really creepy. It's weird how that stuff you don't notice at the time but now it's screaming from the rooftops, but I guess video means you can put them all together and see the pattern easier.

Shoe's just another one of the cowards who might somewhere in their body have the scantest bit of human decency when the abject human suffering they're enabling finally gets ground right into their face, but only ever lets it barely come out before going back to pandering to cryptofascists, because that's where they've made their bed and being a selfish, empty clown of a human being for bigots is all they know anymore.

No clue whether it's an accurate assessment but from what I know about her, including the fact that she dropped in to gamergate "5 guys" IRCs to encourage them then leave, she seems like someone who intentionally prods drama trying to get it to manifest for her amusement.

Managed to see the new film in the theater and spotted one of the RLM Canadians there; it completed the "group bad movie watching" experience.

poparena, I finally finished your video on YCDTOTV and this series is really growing on me, despite me not having any history with the Nickelodeon channel. Watching these vids gives me a lens into what people were watching before my time.

Also: holy crap you are the guy that did the Opinionated Animorphs videos years ago! I was so happy when you abandoned that Rorschach voice that you did earlier in the series...

as i have said in other threads and probaly this one, My gf's step dad was friends with max in college. said he was good friend but because of his hosed up brain(some sort of Bipolar like chemical imbalance) he could switch emotions super hard, super fast and could get violent. they also got their old family cat from him. they split because max wanted to go porkeys revenge style on one of the Step dads exes and he didn''t want that. i'll try to get more stories. also yes he believes max did that poo poo.

Trump out out guidelines when he took office that women “dress like women” and wear feminine clothes.

While I’m sure a queer person can sit down with him and get decent treatment (because literally anyone on the planet can get what they want from Trump through flattery), he is still very bigoted to his core. You can’t say someone doesn’t give two fucks when they ban trans people from the military on loving TWITTER completely out of the blue.

I took one for the team and watched Hotdiggedydemon's video on Apu.

Holy hell, he spends half the video rambling about Apu's positive characteristics, most prominently the fact that he is successful with women, then proceeds to invalidate most of his argument by claiming that Apu is fictional so it doesn't matter. There's a point where he says "How come I'm not racist?", and ends with the point that he's Italian and doesn't find Mario offensive because he's a cartoon character, so Apu is fine.

It was kinda like that feeling when you watch something and just go "This has to be satire" the entire way through as a weak denial that somebody actually believes this.
