How Come Nobody Remembers Him? | #1 | |
Him? From Powerpuff Girls? Y'know? "Him"? I consider myself a bit of a cartoon fanatic, and whenever Powerpuff Girls comes up with someone I've never talked about it to before, I seem to be the only who remembers him. Y'know him... Him. http://alonefancryinginthewilderness...010/07/him.gif
Repressed memories, maybe? Come to think of it, of all thing things that have been rejected by censors for children's cartoons, how did Him make the cut? C'mon, he LICKED The Professor's face! (Two minutes in here> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfTD1NDNFIg ) And you thought Powerpuff Girls was all gumpdrops and glitter. | ||||

One of my favorite episodes is when the Powerpuff Girls race into the future on accident, and there Him is like... the ringleader of evil. That episode was so dark in nature, and I loved it.
The series wouldn't have been the same without Him, to be honest. : ( Cruelty is a matter of perspective. | ||||

People do remember Him. xD People have been talking about him since the Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt show came out because the demon girls have red skin and for a while it didn't show their boss, so people were speculating it was Him. xDDD

Haha, I guess I just don't know the right people. I do love Him as well, though. I just can't help but wonder, how was he presented to the censors in such a way that they were like, "Yes. This is definitely appropriate for children. Good work." He wasn't a minor character either, it's not like he could've been over-looked.
Maybe it was just because it was the 90's (although late 90's) and then the show got popular. Cartoons that get away with the most: The ones that bring in the dough, and the ones that the network thinks are so insignificant, they don't bother to pay attention. Edit: I had no idea what the Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt show was, so I looked it up on youtube and I... I feel mind raped.

Oh dear. xD; Umm... the first few episodes are pretty bad... but once the Demon Sisters come in and there's an actual plot, it gets a lot better. >o>

XD Oh wow I forgot about Him... how the hell did he make it to a kid's cartoon? Haha. We look at today's shows and we're like "OURS WERE NEVER THIS BAD/DISGUSTING/WHATEVER" but then we sit down and remember things like this. XD Or Samurai Jack always running around in his underwear...

Oh Hell yeah, 90's and early 2000 cartoons got pretty crazy, and I'm not just talking about Ren & Stimpy or Invader Zim. Cow and Chicken was pretty weird, from Red Guy to the episode with Cousin Boneless. (On a side note, I love that Charles Adler voiced Cow, Chicken, Red Guy, AND I.R. Baboon on the show.) Dexter's Laboratory had an episode banned thanks to The Silver Spooner, a gay stereotype parody of the Silver Surfer. (Though that's not really "crazy", it proves that a lot of cartoonists wanted to push the boundaries of "for children".) Even the girly, pre-teen cartoon As Told by Ginger had its grossness. Ginger's brother (Carl?) had an eyeball in a jar that, I believe, he stole from a hospital. Heck, even early Spongebob Squarepants had its moments. And let no one forget Courage the Cowardly Dog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_BNtuQ4shs

oh god Courage... XD I loved him. The creepiest one to me was either the one with the hairdresser or the one where the guy stole the plaque and all those plagues happened... ~shudder~ But I loved that show...
