It wouldn't hurt to have some Aaahh!!! Real Monsters episodes in between, for that event of yours. That stuff was on the minimum until around season 5, which randomly cranked up the gross-out aspects to nightmarish levels, as if to match up with The Ren & Stimpy Show. They mostly cut down on it after season 8, though there are still some moments.
Honestly, in regards to Tak himself, I don't have any strong feelings for or against him; he's always just been there for me; I never played any of his games, and I don't recall his show being all that interesting.
See, patience can be rewarding.
That said, maybe it wouldn't hurt to call up my local Gamestop...
That's probably the exact scene they were trying to reference with that move, if I had to guess.
I'd totally be down for that as long as it takes inspiration from the games and not the show.
We got that covered! "The Switching Hour" is in the line-up, with other episodes including My Life as a Teenage Robot's "Raggedy Android," CatDog's "CatDogula," SpongeBob's "Graveyard Shift," Avatar's "The Puppetmaster," and Victorious' "Terror on Cupcake Street" (I have like next to no memory of what Victorious was like as a show - beyond a bunch of shipbaiting with Jade, Beck, and Tori in every possible configuration - so we'll see how that goes).Also, there's Silence of The Luans, if you need a double-feature of sorts.
If you want, in regards to Ren & Stimpy, a lot of it is nightmarish, but the spookiest episode I can think of is Haunted House (obviously).
If you REALLY want to have nightmares, just bingewatch Adult Party Cartoon.
The thing is that

is only picking select episodes of stuff, but if he really needs anything from that, "Ren Seeks Help" would do it.Six. And only three of them actually aired on TV. And they had to be split in two.
"Halloween Spectacular of Spooky Doom" is on the list, but that would be a much more... actually-dark episode. "Unexpectedly dark episodes of kids' show" would be a very interesting event premise in of itself, honestly. We can watch that SpongeBob episode about factory farming jellyfish or that Fairly Odd Parents episode about how Timmy Turner's seasonal depression is actually entirely justified because apparently the world would be better off without him.
I would actually like my friends to remain my friends by the end of the night, y'know...
In that case, there's the Rugrats episodes that directly tackle the topic of death (most specifically, why one specific parent is never actually seen in the present), the FOP episode that reveals the fairy godchild that was responsible for some of the worst horrors in the world's history, the R&S episode in which Stimpy spits hairballs to complete exhaustion, and any ARM episodes that involve Oblina being put through the wringer.
Jump while holding down.
Thanks!
Yeah, there's a lot of good options... honestly, too many good options... Don't forget about that Rocko episode which has Heffer... do things I cannot describe on SmashBoards!
Honestly, he's a lot sassier then I'd expect to be even before the NDA has expired. He isn't exactly coy with his opinions on the game's advertising pre-launch...
Surprisingly, some of APC's more disturbing moments were forced in there by Spike to enforce the fact that you were watching an ADULT animation block for ADULTS like ADULT Swim.
From everything I've heard, it's a bit of both. Spike really pushed for it to be adult, but there is no question that APC is absolutely unfiltered John K in the worst possible way.
If you really want that (please don't), there's also The Goddamned George Liquor Program, which has an Easter Egg involving...well...just look at the YouTube comments and then close the hell out of that tab.
Yeah, that's what I figured. Spike wanted adult R&S, and that's exactly what they got.
Say what you will about both sides of R&S' production, but "we'll let you air messed up **** as long as you make some sappy heartwarming stories in between" would be the deal of a lifetime for me, I love it when comical characters can adapt well into something more dramatic from time to time.
Did a bit more reading into it. Spike actually tried to make John K tone it down.
That's good to hear, maybe i should try and call for my previous order to see if it's arrive i may have the game now but i could get a refund.
Mind letting me know of the details of this event? and what is the full list of shows that'll be featured in here?
While the game isn't a failure by any stretch of the imagination, having an episode about its production would be interesting nonetheless.
I would like to know as well, for reference's sake and keeping track of it.
Well yes, although adult animation in the west has been almost entirely relegated to comedy. The networks still aren't willing to take risks when it comes to that, and I doubt R&S would. But if it were traditionally animated here in the west, by the people writing and storyboarding it, then it would at least be Ren & Stimpy, which actually would be interesting. But I assume it will be outsourced to Korea, or digitally animated? The fact that I can't find any news on how it's being animated, is proof enough that people don't really "get" why Ren & Stimpy was significant, so. Yeah it's probably going to be Seinfeld syndrome with this one, or worse. But at least Billy West is returning.
Small nitpick, but the hell is Seinfeld Syndrome? I looked that up and like 50 different definitions.
In TV Tropes terms, it's referred to as "Seinfeld Is Unfunny". Basically, it's something that seemed cool and innovative/daring/whathaveyou back then is seen as unoriginal or not that special when seen by someone that's been exposed to various works emulating it afterwards.
Ironically, it took a video game like Cuphead to keep this alive to some degree, and even so it's obvious that it takes a lot of time and effort to make its animation at all, what with it being indie, and the DLC campaign having been in production for a few years so far. To say nothing of the Netflix adaptation having yet to come out still.
Well, this is an IRL event for IRL friends, so I'm not giving anyone online the full details, but here's the full list of shows for consideration. I had people vote on which specials to actually watch because we're not spending 12+ hours watching Nickelodeon Halloween specials.
Nice, Catscratch is on here which is good. What about Sanjay & Craig? there's a spooky tales episode which was for halloween.
Good taste, it was a pretty strong episode. And I'm glad to see some T.U.F.F. Puppy love on there, too.
I honestly was looking through the Wikipedia page and saw a few more 2010s shows that were eligible and just... didn't pick them as there was a ~0% chance of them winning the poll anyway due to the demographics of the people attending, honestly...
It was a pretty strong episode! It is funny to me how much it overlaps with Scary Godparents though, as both are episodes about people using [science/magic] to become their costumes... FOP and Neutron had a weird amount of overlap in terms of the kind of stories they told.
Now I'm reminded of the part in the third Jimmy Timmy Power Hour where The Villain Whose Name Isn't Shirley is matching FOP and Jimmy Neutron characters based on archetype.
