Remember this old gem?

[Queen Michael]

Remember how everything got X-TREME in the 90's?

Spoiler: Of course you do.

Well, take a look at this old show that Queen Michael dug up just for you.


Anybody else remember it? If you're new to it, what do you think?

And if you watched all of that intro clip, I've a few questions you might be able to help me with.

Why is Yogi using his magnifying glass at 0:50 when the footprints he's following are clearly visible to the naked eye? Put away that magnifying glass, Yogi. You can see the prints anyway, Yogi. By looking at them. With your looking-eyes.

Why doesn't Dick Dastardly realize that, instead of using a machine to place footprints on the ground, he could leave footprints by simply walking on the ground?

Why does Yogi release a huge jet of water underneath the already soaking Dick Dastardly in an obvious attempt to kill him?

And why did the theme song writer rip off "Unskinny Bop" by Poison?

Snip

I think critiquing cartoons for their logic is bad for your health.

Yeah I remember how stupid the "extreme" comicbooks were like back then!

Anyway-

Why is Yogi using his magnifying glass at 0:50 when the footprints he's following are clearly visible to the naked eye? Put away that magnifying glass, Yogi. You can see the prints anyway, Yogi. By looking at them. With your looking-eyes.

Maybe he was looking at the tinist details (like some kind of a special dirt in the print?) than the obvious footprint shape?

Why doesn't Dick Dastardly realize that, instead of using a machine to place footprints on the ground, he could leave footprints by simply walking on the ground?

Maybe he wanted to give out a different footprint that isn't the same as his?

Why does Yogi release a huge jet of water underneath the already soaking Dick Dastardly in an obvious attempt to kill him?
To troll him some more?

And why did the theme song writer rip off "Unskinny Bop" by Poison?

Cos they that song was extreme and cool?

Maybe he was looking at the tinist details (like some kind of a special dirt in the print?) than the obvious footprint shape?

And thus missing out on the fact that all the prints were made by one boot? (Easy enough to tell by seeing if it's left- or right-footed.) That sort of "missing the forest for the trees" would make Darkwing Duck facepalm.

That is what happens when old people try to rejuvenate old ideas that are too old to be appealing to not-so-old people.

It's like trying to microwave the refrigerated remnants of yesterday's unfinished Taco Bell, and expecting it to taste mostly the same.

The 90s- everything got a bit too Xerioux.

You dare question the logic of '90s cartoons? NEVER question the logic of '90s cartoons!

[small]It will hurt your brain. Remember, you need a ship-shape brain for doing all that important brain stuff![/small]

Also:

*Yogi needs people to know he's doing detective work so nobody will disturb him. Hence the magnifying glass. Cheaper and quicker than setting up police tape - and just as effective!

*Dick Dastardly uses a machine so he won't HAVE to walk everywhere!

*Yogi doesn't turn on the water spout to hurt or embarrass Dick - it's simply time to set off the new, improved '90s version of Old Faithful. Which has been fitted with a manual override for maximum punctuality. And relocated to a prime riverbed setting so that any tourists who miss the main event can still have a water feature to gawk at. Completely unrelated.

*And finally, Unskinny Bop is the most '90s song known to mankind. Everything that is truly '90s contains at least a small trace of it!

I remember this but I don't remember ever actually watching a single second of it. It's an odd combination of the general 90's Xtreme fixation coupled with the desire to revitalize older concepts and copy whatever was popular at the time (muppet babies in this instance) for easy cash. Off the top of my head the other shows that did this were Tom and Jerry Kids and A Pup Named Scooby Doo... I'm sure there were others.

Phah, you call that 90's? You know nothing, Queen Michael! Let me show you the most 90's cartoon intro that has ever existed!


Oh ya baby! RADICAL! TO THE EXTREEEEEEEME!

This was actually one of the shows I grew up with. In relation to the thread about Nostalgia Critic's video talking about modern cartoons, they certainly are better than the stuff I grew up with, being a child of the very late 90s and early 2000s. Korra may have been a mess, but I'd have taken it any day over shit like Pokémon, Quack Pack or the 2003 TMNT, which I've heard is supposed to be good, but which I didn't like even as a kid.

Why does Yogi release a huge jet of water underneath the already soaking Dick Dastardly in an obvious attempt to kill him?

I think it's the animators trying to tell the audience through visual storytelling that watching the show will be the cartoon equivalent of waterboarding.

Pfft, "kill."

Characters in cartoons never died. Especially not in the 90's. What do you think-


Oh. Right.

Coincidentally.


Both extreme and radical. All at once. To the god damned max.

[small]I seriously loved this show as a kid.[/small]

 

[Something Amyss]

See, this was more what I was exposed to in the 90s:


Though someone mentioned Darkwing Duck...Still love him.

 

[TallanKhan]

Ok, news just in: "The 90's sucked" officially confirmed as fact.

Wow that just looked awful, glad that passed me by.
