Not sure whether someone already did this, but for whatever it's worth, here's a rescued freeze-frame gag: At the very beginning, Dipper has fallen asleep reading "The Sibling Bros. In: The Telltale Fable of the Unstable Table".

"Why Limit Me", indeed - SCTV is flat-out the equal of The Simpsons or early Letterman in importance and entertainment value. I know you're not supposed to say that, but fuck it, it's true. Sacred cows be damned - Conan O'Brien will be the first to tell you that he wrote "Marge vs. The Monorail" off the back of a…

The fact that it took the mp3 to accomplish these things culturally is a damning statement on us indeed. All of the above could have been achieved in better, more organized ways, but no, we had to make music sound like shit and have no physical presence of any kind at all for a solid decade before it began to have…

The AV Club….

Right, and The Ren & Stimpy Show was ostensibly just the same when it started, which also happened to be exactly ONE YEAR AFTER all the uproar over season ONE(!) of The Simpsons, which was on at Prime Time and rated PG-13.

How about "potentially the only reason the average person might actually think or care about said horror enough to do something"?

That is what made Ren & Stimpy so ahead of its time…..

(Also, believe me, if I had any idea where the Pics Or It Didn't Happen Button was on this thing, I'd hit it…..)

(Juuust gonna put it out there that I cosplayed Stan on Halloween of 2012 and ad-libbed shit he would say to people in bars all over downtown Toronto. And this was when nobody knew WTF Gravity Falls was, like, AT ALL…..so yeah, I've kinda honed that voice….who…who's gonna hit that…..that 'YEAH!" sound for me?…

Mmmmm….naah, I see it but it didn't HAVE to be. "BORT/BEWARB"? Now, THERE it was DEFINITELY intentional…

"Sheremy"?

"Trogdor" reference much? Oh, hi Matt Chapman, didn't see you there!

It just so happens that our disagreement here stems from a political disagreement over the parameters of gender politics, and how we should be teaching future generations to think. Because I felt that your original review was framed in terms of what is healthy for children to experience emotionally versus what is not,…

And slap bracelets!

"Were you dragging or rushing, Stanley?"

Because creativity.

"Fiddleford Wozniak".

You forgot "Dig out tattered Colliers Encyclopedia; Check for entry on "Crombie" to make sure it's actually a word; If search is fruitless, double-check by making Mabel type it into her….weird….flat….screen thingy….you know, that thing she's always sittin' upside-down lookin' at? Always got those weird pictures of…

The splitting apart of the central relationship in this episode was damn-near-painful for me to watch. I couldn't help but relate it to real, recent events in my own life. No one in animation since John Kricfalusi in his prime has traumatized our TV screens with the real, raw gristle and hellfire of two large, burly,…

NO. GIMME MORE TROUBLING SHIT. MORE "BAD TASTE". THIS. SHOW. IS. INSPIRED. BY. HORROR GENRE FICTION. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, HOW OBVIOUS IS THIS.
