Refined. Nineties.

0:02

Quick hits. Cinema.

0:10

Hi, I'm Alex. And this is Brendan.

0:13

We're here for another episode of Refined. Nineties.

0:16

Quick hits. Quick hits.

0:22

We'll figure it out. It's good to look in your eyes.

0:26

It's been a while, man. We've both been so busy lately.

0:30

I don't want to talk about it.

0:33

It's just to the point where, like, even the Thursdays when I'm not super busy,

0:37

I'm like, I don't feel like doing anything.

0:40

I miss hanging out with my buddy, dude.

0:42

I knew I missed talking to my friend.

0:44

We're in person right now. We're in studio 3.0 in Brendan's new basement.

0:49

Drinkin' some black cab.

0:52

Yeah, some really nice... What did I say this was?

0:55

Let me look at the... So it is a back-o noir.

0:59

Not a pino noir, a back-o noir, which is really interesting.

1:02

I never knew that was even a thing, but...

1:07

It's from Niagara on the lake.

1:09

Remember when I was complaining about Niagara on the lake?

1:12

Yeah, why do you hate that so much?

1:14

Michelle listened to that episode and she was like,

1:16

well, you don't want to go with me, so then we had to go.

1:19

Did you enjoy it?

1:20

I actually did.

1:21

We're going for our first honeymoon.

1:24

Nice. How many honeymoons are you having?

1:26

What do you mean first honeymoon?

1:27

So, because we're not going on a big trip until the summer,

1:30

we have to have a mini-moon, which is a weekend trip after the win.

1:35

Nice.

1:36

Steph and I are going to do our honeymoon,

1:39

like maybe next year, maybe the year after.

1:41

We want to go to Greece.

1:43

I really badly want to go to Greece.

1:45

It's a cheap dish.

1:47

And it's beautiful there, so...

1:49

Yeah, turn me the fuck down.

1:50

You have a very dynamic voice.

1:53

You know what it is?

1:54

It's quiet.

1:55

It's still doing it too. It's ridiculous.

1:57

It's because when I was streaming a lot,

1:59

I got used to projecting so that it was very clear.

2:03

Like, wow.

2:04

Yeah, pretty much.

2:05

Welcome to my stream.

2:07

Well, the thing is, when I first started,

2:10

I'd be gaming and I would focus too hard on the game

2:13

and I would mumble.

2:14

I would talk like this when I was trying to talk to my stream.

2:16

And no one would know what I was saying.

2:17

So, I got used to actually speaking out loud

2:20

and enunciating while I was doing things

2:23

and focusing more on what I was saying than what I was playing.

2:26

And I also learned to pick games to play on stream

2:29

that were almost second nature to me,

2:31

so I wouldn't have to focus as hard on them

2:32

while I was talking to people.

2:34

So, that's when I started to get more viewers.

2:36

Like, when we were playing Tony Hawk,

2:38

remember how crazy that stream was?

2:40

That's so much fun.

2:41

Yeah, that stream was crazy.

2:42

We had like 50 people in there at one point

2:44

and we were just nonchalant skating around,

2:47

doing tricks and talking and stuff

2:49

and singing and all kinds of craziness.

2:51

It was fun.

2:52

It took us like three days

2:54

and people were with us.

2:56

Yeah, the whole three days.

2:58

Man, that was so much fun.

3:00

Yeah, that was a good stream.

3:02

Honestly, like next time you come up to visit,

3:04

maybe we should try streaming like Tony Hawk 2.

3:08

Did we do Tony Hawk 2 on stream already?

3:11

We beat Tony Hawk 1 in a day

3:13

and then we did the second one, didn't we?

3:15

We think we did 3.

3:17

I don't think we did 2.

3:19

We could do 2 and 4.

3:20

Well, we could do like the remasters too.

3:22

We have those on PlayStation.

3:23

I have it on here.

3:24

Yeah.

3:25

I need to get a new controller.

3:28

Yeah, that was fun though.

3:29

I don't stream that much anymore.

3:30

Brendan's going to help me set up my mic

3:32

so I have better audio when I'm at home.

3:34

And then it means we can pod.

3:36

Well, then you won't have to listen to my voice

3:38

cutting in and out and being shitty all the time.

3:40

And his chair being like...

3:41

Yeah.

3:43

Or shit like this.

3:44

Where I tap on the desk.

3:48

Or my keyboard clacking

3:50

because my mic at home sucks right now.

3:52

So I'm going to buy probably one of these mics.

3:53

You can send me the link to what it is

3:55

and then I can buy all the other shit.

3:57

I'm actually going to get an exercise book.

3:59

Sit on when I'm in here.

4:00

Nice.

4:01

I need to hook up my...

4:02

Well, not hook up,

4:03

but I need to set up my standing desk again

4:04

because I'm sitting so much right now

4:06

working on the shit I'm working on.

4:09

But we're getting old guys.

4:11

We're like, Brendan's what, 34?

4:13

33.

4:15

Am I 33?

4:17

I thought you were a year older than me.

4:18

Yeah, but...

4:19

I'm turning 33 in October.

4:21

So you're only like six months older than me.

4:23

Yeah.

4:24

Are you sure?

4:25

I always thought that you were like a whole year

4:26

and a little bit older than me,

4:27

but maybe I'm just crazy.

4:28

No, it's 2023.

4:29

I'm 23.

4:30

Okay.

4:31

Right?

4:32

Okay, so you're like six months older than me.

4:33

You're not a year older.

4:34

Right, yeah.

4:35

Okay.

4:36

So I'm turning 33,

4:37

but like everything hurts sometimes.

4:39

I'll wake up in the morning some days

4:40

and I'll be like, I don't want to get out of bed.

4:42

I'll be like, I'm going to have a great day today.

4:43

And my back's like, the fuck you are.

4:46

Correct.

4:47

But yeah, anyway,

4:49

Brendan was making fun of me earlier

4:51

because I play a lot of golf now.

4:52

That was not...

4:53

And while you're turning into like a retired...

4:55

I'm a retired old man.

4:58

Drinking wine and playing golf.

5:00

Drinking wine, playing golf,

5:02

podcasting and collecting Pokemon cards.

5:04

My favorite pastimes.

5:08

It's good to be back.

5:10

It's been a while.

5:11

We have another podcast since like what?

5:14

March this year?

5:15

Yep.

5:16

Just after my wedding or just before my wedding?

5:18

No, it was after the wedding.

5:19

We did one.

5:20

We did one before one after.

5:21

Yeah.

5:22

Because I remember doing the one where I was like,

5:24

I'm a married man now.

5:25

Yep.

5:26

We've been following this saga for years at this point.

5:29

Yeah.

5:30

No kidding.

5:31

To be honest, like I'm really impressed with us

5:33

because even though there are long periods

5:35

where we don't pod or we're not consistent,

5:38

we like stick to it.

5:39

Like we keep coming back

5:41

and we're always going to like keep making shit

5:42

because it's fun.

5:43

It's fun for us.

5:44

It's a good way to stay in touch

5:45

when we don't have a lot more other stuff to do.

5:47

Yep.

5:48

Pretty soon we're both going to be married

5:50

on our path to the later parts of our lives.

5:53

What are we doing today, Brandon?

5:55

We are doing a little throwback quick hits

5:58

with some 90s comedy routines

6:01

and funny junk.

6:03

Although funny junk, I don't think

6:05

was around in the 90s,

6:07

like some old early internet viral videos.

6:10

Early internet, like flash animated viral videos.

6:14

And our first is the famous

6:17

You Kicked My Dog Branko by Kerpal.

6:20

Now my dog need operation.

6:22

And apparently it was by a teenager

6:26

named Travis Hopkins from Mississauga in 1993.

6:31

Mississauga?

6:32

Ontario.

6:33

It's Canadian?

6:34

Yes.

6:35

No way.

6:36

That's awesome.

6:37

He now lives in Toronto.

6:38

Oh, I'm actually so pumped now.

6:40

I didn't realize this was a Canadian thing.

6:42

It would be.

6:43

Most of the funniest comedians are from Canada.

6:46

Jim Carrey lived in Canada for a long time.

6:48

He was born here.

6:49

Ryan Reynolds was born in Canada.

6:51

And also this guy.

6:52

And this guy.

6:53

Yeah, you kicked my dog guy.

6:55

It's starting.

6:57

I love the phone.

6:58

It looks like a sex toy.

6:59

This was always my favorite.

7:00

The like flash MSP.

7:05

They're like shitty mouse drawings.

7:10

It is hilarious.

7:15

I love that it's like,

7:17

like you can hear the static in the audio

7:19

because it's so old.

7:20

It's a real phone call.

7:21

I know.

7:22

Play.

7:26

She kicked my dog.

7:27

I love that they gave the guy like such a huge smile too.

7:30

Which dog?

7:33

I love what the dude's got a picture of the dog

7:35

in the background too.

7:37

You fucking guy.

7:44

You know the threat.

7:46

Fuck you.

7:47

You know what this is, Brendan?

7:48

Have you heard the, um,

7:51

you've heard the skit where it's like,

7:53

what's your name?

7:54

Tony, what's your name?

7:57

Ezekiel.

7:58

Fuck you Ezekiel.

7:59

Fuck you.

8:00

No, fuck you.

8:01

That's what this is.

8:03

That's like the modern version of this.

8:05

You kicked my dog.

8:06

You fucking guy.

8:08

Hello, Val.

8:10

You know, she starts taking it seriously

8:12

and then she realizes like,

8:14

it's a joke toward the end.

8:17

Yeah.

8:18

Doesn't she start like giggling and stuff?

8:19

Yeah.

8:23

But like, there was no,

8:25

there's no concept of like,

8:27

intellectual property or anything.

8:29

Someone took that,

8:31

turned it into this,

8:33

posted it on the internet.

8:35

Well, yeah.

8:36

The amount of plagiarism in the 90s

8:38

is mind-boggling to me,

8:40

because there's no way they got the rights

8:42

to the skit and then posted it.

8:44

And I bet this person made so much money

8:46

off of this shit.

8:47

Probably made no money.

8:48

But on YouTube though,

8:50

like how many people have watched this video now?

8:52

Look at how many views this has probably.

8:54

Uh,

8:56

by almost 6 million.

8:58

Yeah, so imagine the amount of money that came in,

9:00

the revenue on YouTube from that.

9:02

That's crazy.

9:03

If it's monetized.

9:04

Well, it probably is though,

9:06

because it's on YouTube.

9:07

I bet people have to watch ads all the time

9:09

to watch this shit.

9:10

All the comments are like,

9:11

twenty-twenty to you,

9:12

still funny.

9:14

It's hilarious.

9:16

Yes, you stink.

9:17

It's all people our age

9:19

that are like trying to find the nostalgia.

9:22

Now my dog needs operation.

9:25

The duck video.

9:27

Oh, is that the lemonade stand video?

9:30

I have no idea.

9:31

This one?

9:32

Yeah, with the duck.

9:33

That's got to be the duck with the lemonade stand.

9:35

It is.

9:36

Have you seen this?

9:37

Yes.

9:38

Got any grapes?

9:40

So stupid.

9:42

It's the dumbest shit ever.

9:44

We're just like watching videos about 90s internet.

9:47

These are not 90s.

9:48

No, these aren't 90s videos,

9:50

but it's about the old school 90s internet.

9:52

This kid's like 14 years old.

9:54

He's talking about old school shit.

9:56

He probably doesn't even know what old school means.

9:58

He's like 12.

9:59

And we're the one...

10:04

Oh, is this the kid with the remote in his asshole?

10:07

Oh, my God.

10:08

This is the kid whose warcraft cow got deleted.

10:10

When is this video from?

10:12

I have no idea.

10:13

Thirteen years.

10:15

This can't be the original.

10:16

This is not the original.

10:17

This has got to be so old.

10:20

Bro, I feel that shit though now.

10:23

When you spend a lot of time on something...

10:26

I'm pretty sure it's fake though.

10:28

It's definitely real.

10:29

This kid is freaking out for real.

10:32

He's pissed.

10:36

He's very good at taking his clothes off.

10:41

It's real funny.

10:43

What are the comments on this video?

10:45

He looks like he's fucking possessed.

10:48

Just know this.

10:49

This kid is an adult now.

10:50

He could be anywhere.

10:52

Kid gets angry?

10:53

The remote.

10:54

Ah, shit.

10:55

Here we go again.

10:57

That's so funny.

10:59

Oh, man.

11:00

Oh, my Lord.

11:02

It's 2023 and I can't help but still laugh.

11:05

It is funny.

11:06

It's really funny.

11:07

Wasn't there like a sequel to this where he like fucking made his brother pissed off again about some other bullshit?

11:14

I can't believe...

11:15

Sometimes I watch this shit, Brendan, and I'm like, there's no way that it's that recent.

11:20

Like, I don't even think this video is 90s.

11:22

No.

11:23

It's just old as fuck.

11:24

It's the early 2000s.

11:27

It's definitely genuine, Brendan.

11:29

There's no way it's not genuine.

11:32

Oh, my Lord.

11:33

Just type in like 90s comedy, 90s flash video.

11:40

The Flash.

11:42

Apparently there was a TV show, The Flash.

11:45

Maybe type in like 1990s flash animation and see.

11:49

Was Flash a thing in the 90s?

11:51

I don't know.

11:52

Oh, it was.

11:53

Newground's Gems.

11:55

Okay, Newground's Gems might make it.

11:58

Oh, I remember this one.

11:59

Oh, he puts the fire out on his head with a cat.

12:02

Yeah, I don't know.

12:04

It might not really fall into the category.

12:05

I don't really care though.

12:06

It's funny.

12:07

Newground's funny junk.

12:09

Addicting games.

12:10

Oh, my God.

12:11

Addicting games, bro.

12:12

So much time on there.

12:14

Did you ever play the one with like the, I think you were like a

12:19

paper plane or something and you had to like cut off the other

12:21

paper planes and trap them in boxes and stuff.

12:23

Maybe it was just like an arrow, but did you ever play that game

12:27

Cross Country Canada?

12:29

You were literally a truck driver and you had to type in, it was

12:32

one of those like, you typed in what you wanted to do.

12:35

It was kind of like the, like the old space quest games and

12:38

stuff, but you were a truck driver and you had to try and like

12:41

cross Canada road trip as a truck driver.

12:44

It was awesome.

12:45

It was just like the options and like the bottom of the screen.

12:47

Yeah.

12:48

You could type in like turn on windshield wipers and it would

12:50

like do that.

12:51

And you could like type in like pull over and then you could type

12:54

in like check, check tires to make sure everything was okay or

12:58

like, like people drew this shit.

13:02

It took probably months.

13:05

Also that house that that guy was in front of there, that was

13:08

literally just like the Simpsons house, but drone.

13:11

Like it's got like the same driveway and everything.

13:13

This is so good.

13:15

The creativity of some people.

13:17

I'll give you a really big hug if you can tell me what this

13:22

song's from.

13:24

I know the exact thing that this song is for.

13:26

I don't know.

13:27

It's from F zero.

13:29

What is that?

13:30

It's a game for Super Nintendo from the nineties.

13:33

Like what is Sakupin doing right now?

13:35

F zero endless challenge.

13:39

I like that they do credits and they like named all the

13:42

characters, but not actually.

13:44

Granny from across the street.

13:46

The fuzz.

13:51

But like this shit would not fly nowadays.

13:54

If you made a video with copyrighted music like this,

13:57

like you would get copyright strikes so fast.

14:00

I remember these videos.

14:02

This is just like a fighting thing.

14:04

It's the shit out of a bunch of dudes.

14:06

Remember this one?

14:07

Oh dude, it's so good.

14:09

Animator versus animation.

14:11

How do they even do like flash style animation?

14:14

It's just frame by frame stuff.

14:16

It's definitely a style.

14:19

Essentially what this is is traditional animation.

14:22

Like you draw every single frame.

14:24

It's just in flash you can like add extra effects and shit.

14:27

Like that's what all this is.

14:29

This one is really clever though.

14:30

Like I remember watching this and being like super impressed

14:33

when I was younger.

14:35

Did you ever play around on macro media flash like this?

14:38

Obviously I didn't do anything.

14:40

That's amazing.

14:42

There's all the key frames in flash.

14:44

So like I used to make like Dragon Balls E stick fight

14:47

videos on my macro media flash on my shitty like 90s

14:50

computer.

14:52

I would sit there for hours and just draw every frame and

14:55

on like Windows XP or even less than that like DOS.

14:59

No, I don't think DOS could do it.

15:01

I don't think so.

15:02

It would have been XP or 2000.

15:05

Yeah, maybe it was 2000.

15:07

Definitely did.

15:08

That's awesome.

15:09

Yeah, it's really cool.

15:11

Do you remember the game Line Rider?

15:13

You never played Line Rider?

15:15

No.

15:16

Oh my God, Brendan.

15:17

You got to try Line Rider.

15:18

Send him to the graveyard or the heaven.

15:21

ABG antivirus in the fire.

15:23

Oh my God.

15:25

That's so clever.

15:26

It's such a good like snapshot of what it was like to use a

15:30

computer early 2000s.

15:32

It really is.

15:34

I think there was like a second one that they did to where

15:37

like escapes and oh and now he's a virus or now he's an ad

15:40

blocker.

15:41

They're like keeping him in jail and he has to block ads for

15:44

them.

15:45

That's so keep freaking hilarious.

15:46

Type in Line Rider on like any anything.

15:50

Just type it in on like you.

15:52

Yeah.

15:53

And then click play.

15:54

So now what you have to do is you can draw a line underneath

15:57

him.

15:58

And he'll literally like ride on the line.

16:01

Then click play.

16:02

So then like you can stop it and he'll start from the beginning

16:05

again when you play it again.

16:06

But you can draw more lines and he just keeps going.

16:08

So that he can't.

16:10

Yeah.

16:11

So you can like.

16:12

I want to try to draw another one.

16:14

Yeah.

16:15

Or you can also delete the ones you already drew and have him

16:17

like ride up.

16:18

It's all based on like gravity physics shit though.

16:20

So you have to like.

16:21

Yes.

16:22

So he'll still go backwards.

16:24

So you can like block.

16:26

Yeah.

16:27

You can also use the regular pencil and draw like an actual

16:30

like curved line and he'll ride he'll ride the curve line too.

16:33

So I think it's the one on the far left.

16:35

If you want to like just draw a curved line for him to ride

16:38

down.

16:39

Yeah.

16:40

There you go.

16:41

I'm so talented.

16:42

I feel like.

16:43

And then he'll freaking go down.

16:44

So I used to sit in my computer class.

16:47

Like ever.

16:48

I just keep drawing like courses for this little sled dude to

16:51

ride on.

16:52

It was so good.

16:53

And you can make him do like loopy loops and you can like make

16:55

him fly across the screen and land on another line.

16:58

And like he like wipes out and stuff eventually.

17:01

And you can do like lines that have like turbo boosts on

17:04

them.

17:05

So you can like.

17:06

Whoa.

17:07

Got stuck.

17:08

I can't believe like you missed this era.

17:11

Yeah.

17:12

I never saw a line.

17:13

Line Rider dot com everyone.

17:15

I never played this.

17:17

I mean that's probably not 90s either.

17:19

But it's still it's like hilarious.

17:21

Such a good little computer game.

17:23

Google code.

17:25

Like it's nothing but that.

17:27

We should do like Rugrats episodes.

17:29

The pilot.

17:30

It's only six minutes.

17:32

Oh my God.

17:33

It looks.

17:34

Oh yeah.

17:35

The episodes are really short.

17:36

So like you.

17:37

What it would be.

17:38

Is with commercials.

17:39

They would be about 10 minutes each.

17:41

And there'd be three episodes in the half an hour segment.

17:43

So you get like a couple of different stories with the

17:45

Rugrats.

17:46

Want to do it right now.

17:47

Fuck.

17:48

Yeah.

17:49

Let's do it.

17:50

Rugrats.

17:51

Fine Anti Cinema Quick Hit.

17:53

We're fine.

17:54

Anti Cinema.

17:55

Quirk.

17:56

Yeah.

17:57

Of course I watched Rugrats.

17:58

Dude this was the bomb.

17:59

Remember the movie.

18:01

Oh my.

18:02

Dill Pickles.

18:03

I bought the soundtrack.

18:04

Yeah dude.

18:05

The movie's so good.

18:06

That had like Smash Mouth and stuff in it.

18:08

Didn't it?

18:09

The soundtrack.

18:10

It was a good soundtrack.

18:11

The Digimon movie has a bomb soundtrack to never like.

18:14

Digimon.

18:15

Yeah.

18:16

But the soundtrack for the like.

18:17

Oh so good.

18:18

Nickelodeon.

18:19

Is this literally the pilot episode?

18:21

Yes.

18:22

Holy shit.

18:23

Stu.

18:24

Look how jank this animation looks, bro.

18:29

This is so awesome.

18:32

What's the mom's name, Betty?

18:35

Didi?

18:36

Didi.

18:37

Stu and Didi pickles.

18:38

Stu, yes.

18:39

And then the, his brother is Angelica's father.

18:43

Yes.

18:44

Right?

18:45

I think so.

18:46

And then they have friends.

18:47

They have Phil and Lil.

18:49

They're neighbors.

18:50

Phil and Lil are the neighbor babies that Tommy's friends with and then Chucky's his

18:54

best friend.

18:55

Yes.

18:56

He's like a hypochondriac.

18:58

And Chucky doesn't have a mom, just a dad.

19:01

And Angelica, yeah, Angelica's a bitch.

19:06

Yeah, she sucks.

19:07

She's like the older bossy one.

19:09

Yeah.

19:10

And then there's like the, there was one other girl that hangs out with Angelica that like

19:15

comes over.

19:16

Oh yeah.

19:17

Yeah.

19:18

Lipshits.

19:19

Dr. Lipshits.

19:20

Dr. Lipshits is like the hot shit about parenting.

19:23

Look at her mouth.

19:24

How big it is.

19:25

Oh my lord.

19:26

So this is actually funny because when they're, TV shows in the 90s, when they're doing traditional

19:31

animation like this, keeping a character on model, which basically just means keeping

19:36

them like all the proportions the same all the time, but still like animated.

19:40

Because people hand-dry.

19:41

Yeah.

19:42

You train.

19:43

So like keeping them on model was really hard in television though because of the short

19:45

deadlines.

19:46

So like that's why you see their faces constantly like getting bigger and smaller and all kinds

19:51

of weird shit happening because there was such a short deadline on this stuff.

19:55

I also think this style sort of lends itself to that kind.

20:02

Same thing as like Beavis and Butthead.

20:04

I was just going to mention Beavis and Butthead too.

20:06

Like when she stuck her head in the side of the screen, it made me think of Beavis and

20:09

Butthead.

20:10

What the fuck is this dog?

20:12

He's like watching a commercial with this weird ass dog.

20:15

Or King of the Hill.

20:16

Yeah.

20:17

King of the Hill.

20:18

Beavis and Butthead.

20:19

Dragon Ball was the same way.

20:20

It had like very jank animation at the beginning because when they just didn't have the budget,

20:25

right?

20:26

Well, and also like a lot of the people that worked on television were like beginner animators

20:31

and hand-drawn animation is like it's way harder to keep characters on model than 3D

20:37

because 3D is like an actual like built character in the program.

20:41

So it's hard to break them and make them look weird.

20:44

Like there's pre-built rules.

20:47

Yeah.

20:48

It's like it's like a character that's built in 3D space.

20:51

So you can't like accidentally draw it too big, right?

20:54

It's just you're moving a character around that's already built for you.

20:57

So keeping them on model is a lot easier in 3D.

21:00

But oh yeah, Howard and Betty.

21:02

Betty's like a feminist.

21:04

Yeah.

21:05

She's like a like a feminist and she like is all into running and exercising and hiking

21:10

and shit.

21:11

Tommy looks like he's seen some shit, Brendan.

21:13

Look at him.

21:14

He's like.

21:15

He's so fucked.

21:16

What the hell?

21:19

There was an episode of this show where Tommy loses his like paper airplane in the basement

21:24

and Stu is an inventor.

21:25

So he like has all this like weird shit.

21:27

And there was like a baby making like a baby doll making machine in the basement.

21:33

And it that episode terrified me as a kid because the dolls were like super creepy looking

21:38

and shit.

21:39

I'm in the basement right now because it's with all those like weird inventions and shit.

21:45

But yeah, the plane like gets stuck on a conveyor belt and like the ball the dolls get all fucked

21:50

up and like it just looks all weird and Tommy gets freaked out.

21:54

Yeah.

21:55

Basements were always portrayed as terrifying.

21:58

Yeah.

21:59

Places.

22:00

I mean, I had a pretty terrifying basement and both of my first houses growing up like

22:04

with like a it was almost like a cellar like an unfinished part that you went down into

22:10

for the laundry room and I was always terrified.

22:13

That's kind of what mine was too.

22:14

There was like pillars in the basement and like the back room was the only room that

22:19

was finished and like everything else was just like boxes and like weird shit and cobwebs

22:24

and I remember thinking there was like a scary dude that lived in there was going to like

22:30

get us if we went in there.

22:32

Did your basement have a light switch that like wasn't near the stairs?

22:35

So you had to like hit it and then run to the stairs and go up the stairs back to like

22:39

the right address.

22:40

I remember the ceiling was lower than the rest of the house.

22:44

I always had to hit the light switch and then I would like run for my fucking life and like

22:48

try to get out of the basement as quick as possible because the lights were off and I

22:51

thought I was going to get murdered or something.

22:55

They're going on an adventure.

22:57

Chuckster.

22:58

It's like Tommy's first birthday party or something.

23:01

I think that's the, well, and they need to introduce us to the characters, right?

23:07

Yeah.

23:08

Even from episode one, she was horrible.

23:10

She even looks like a little shithead.

23:13

So the Rugrats movie was actually one of my first ever theater movies.

23:17

I feel like it was pretty late, like 2001.

23:20

I don't think, I think it was like 1999.

23:22

It came out pretty.

23:23

Look at it now.

23:24

Yeah, look it up.

23:25

It's definitely older.

23:27

I hope it's 90s.

23:28

That would make me really happy.

23:30

98.

23:31

Yes.

23:32

Yeah.

23:33

It was like one of my first movies I ever saw in theaters.

23:35

Oh, we did it.

23:36

Yo ho ho in a bottle of yam.

23:38

Episode 14.

23:39

That's awesome.

23:40

Three years ago.

23:41

Damn.

23:42

I need to listen to that episode again just to see what we said about it.

23:46

It would be fun to like rewatch the movies we've done already just to see like, you know,

23:50

that's the front of our segment.

23:52

Have our feelings changed?

23:53

Yeah.

23:54

Look at his nose on the floor.

23:55

Babies are gross, dude.

23:58

So when my sister and my brother were growing up, my sister was born a couple of years after

24:03

my brother, right?

24:04

So my mom told me a story once about how my brother would like crawl through the hallway

24:09

sometimes, but if he had like pooped in his diaper too much, they'd be like falling out

24:15

of it.

24:16

And my sister would follow him around and pick up his poop off the ground and eat it.

24:19

That explains a lot.

24:22

Yeah.

24:23

Geez.

24:24

Babies are gross, dude.

24:26

I swear to God.

24:27

It's a wonder.

24:28

Babies like actually survive.

24:30

Actually, Rugrats is a good indication of the fact that it's a wonder.

24:33

Babies like actually grow up so much of the time.

24:36

When they had like a Rugrats, like a teen years.

24:39

Yeah, it was called like all grown up or something like that.

24:43

Drew looked pissed, bro.

24:45

I like how feeling.

24:47

We'll just start fighting over it.

24:49

And then Joe was like, fuck you stupid babies.

24:51

This is mine.

24:52

And the parents do nothing.

24:54

They're just like whatever.

24:55

It does look very cool.

24:57

But everyone's like, what is it?

24:59

I forgot they're always like on his case because he's a failed inventor.

25:04

He lives with them, right?

25:06

The grandpa.

25:07

Yeah.

25:08

Look how like Stu's so upset now because they made fun of his invention.

25:12

It's literally a baby monitor and they gave it to him for his first birthday.

25:16

He won't know.

25:17

Yeah.

25:18

Don't they don't end up using them as like walkie-talkies in the show later?

25:21

The babies start like talking to each other on them.

25:24

The parents are so excited.

25:26

And they just leave the kids on the floor.

25:28

Why does he want the dog food?

25:30

I don't know because he's a year old and he's gross.

25:33

Stupid kid.

25:37

Oh no, he's crying.

25:40

Can you imagine being the voice actor whose job it was to just cry like a baby?

25:44

You know the voice actor for Tommy Pickles is actually female?

25:48

Actually.

25:49

So she, do you remember, did you watch All of Friends?

25:54

Do you know the girl that shows up that like was a previous co-worker of Phoebe's where

25:59

they like sing smelly cat together and then she steals the song from Phoebe?

26:02

Okay.

26:03

That girl is Tommy Pickles.

26:05

She's the voice of Tommy Pickles.

26:07

And she's also the voice of like Phil and Lil and I think Angelica.

26:10

Like she does a lot of the voices on the show.

26:12

Yeah.

26:13

Very cool.

26:14

They use like four voice actors for all the voices on the show.

26:16

It's crazy.

26:17

So if you watch her talk, if you watch that episode of Friends again, the second she comes

26:20

in, you'll be like, that's Tommy Pickles.

26:22

Like you'll know it in her voice now because you know that she did that.

26:25

Friends is one of my favorite TV series.

26:27

But if I watch it with anyone that's like never seen it before, you've been watching it with

26:31

Steph when I was showing her.

26:33

She never saw it.

26:34

Not before she was dating me.

26:35

She watched a couple episodes of it because her sister really likes it, but it just didn't

26:40

age well.

26:41

She was like, this is very feminist and like awful.

26:44

I don't know, very anti-feminist.

26:47

Sorry.

26:48

There's a lot of like, what?

26:49

This is supposed to be like a good kids puppet show.

26:52

I think it's, is it Stu Pickles doing the puppet show?

26:55

It is.

26:56

Yeah.

26:57

It's Tommy's dad.

26:58

Oh no.

26:59

It's Stu and Drew.

27:00

It's Stu and his brother doing a puppet show.

27:01

I love that in these like nineties cartoons, it's they still do it in like current cartoons,

27:05

but they have like the humor for the parents because the kid watching wouldn't know what the

27:09

hell is happening.

27:10

But the parents are like, haha, they're arguing with the puppets.

27:12

Oh, they think Tommy ate spikes food and turned into a dog.

27:18

That's hilarious.

27:20

Why doesn't Jelica want Spike to bite the male?

27:24

Because that's like the dog thing.

27:26

I don't know.

27:27

They don't want it to be a dog.

27:29

Yeah, they thought that if you eat dog food.

27:31

But Angelica's already a bitch, so it's okay.

27:37

That's awesome.

27:38

And the brothers are just arguing.

27:41

Well played, Brendan.

27:42

Well played.

27:43

I love that Angelica is like helping them.

27:46

She's like, yeah, babies eat the dog food.

27:49

How can she understand them, but she can actually talk.

27:52

I don't know, man.

27:54

How do they explain that?

27:56

What the fuck are they using Stu's invention to like hover them up to the dog?

28:00

They're going to like it.

28:02

These people are horrible parents, Brendan.

28:04

They have no idea where their fucking kids are.

28:09

It's going to fall on them and they're all going to get concussed.

28:13

They're literally now flying around on a hover car built by Tommy's dad.

28:17

And the parents are fighting over who's doing the puppet show right.

28:20

And they have no idea that the kids are fucking around in the kitchen with this

28:23

hover car and dog food.

28:25

And Angelica's in white face.

28:27

Could you fell into a bag of flour?

28:31

I'm going to bring them in over water.

28:34

Now their kitchen is flooded.

28:36

This is actually so funny.

28:38

We want to watch our grads over again, like just from the beginning.

28:42

Now the brothers are having a therapy session with the puppets.

28:45

Yeah, isn't the mom like, forget what they do for work?

28:48

I think she is like legitimately a therapist.

28:51

Isn't carrot cake supposed to be like a not a birthday cake and also not just white?

28:56

If it's frasfrosting.

28:58

I guess, but like, I have carrot cake for my birthday.

29:01

Carrot cake's good, fuck man.

29:03

So good. It should have been chocolate.

29:06

Oh yeah, they are Jewish.

29:08

They do like a Hanukkah episode.

29:10

Like they just give the dog like a whole can of dog food.

29:14

Oh no, he doesn't even want it.

29:15

Okay, the babies are all going to go eat it.

29:17

These people don't look after their kids.

29:19

They can't floor eat their kids or eating dog food.

29:25

They all ate it and then spat it out.

29:28

That's hilarious.

29:30

Regrats, Brendan.

29:31

So basically the moral of the story is parents in the 90s didn't look after their kids.

29:35

No.

29:36

At all.

29:37

The magic school bus was definitely 90s.

29:39

September 1997.

29:41

Disney's one Saturday morning.

29:43

Man, we had all the best TV shows in the 90s.

29:46

What did people do before the 90s?

29:48

They were just bored all the time.

29:50

Pretty sure.

29:51

And flash animation.

29:53

Yeah.

29:54

What did people do?

29:55

Is this 3D animated?

29:57

It looks like it.

29:58

When did that come out?

29:59

I don't think it is though.

30:01

I think the poster is just drawn as if it were 3D, but the show is not 3D.

30:06

Yeah, Rugrats got a movie.

30:08

I feel like every cartoon got a movie.

30:10

Yeah, like the Wild Thornberry's got a movie.

30:12

Hey, Arnold got a movie.

30:13

Did it?

30:14

Yeah.

30:15

All the good 90s kid shows got movies.

30:18

1996.

30:19

Doug.

30:20

What was another one?

30:23

No, the Fairly Odd Parents is a little later.

30:26

It's not 90s.

30:27

91 to 99.

30:28

What is Doug?

30:30

Never watched Doug.

30:31

I don't think so.

30:33

The Doug Show.

30:35

Oh, I did watch Doug.

30:37

Bro.

30:39

A part of my brain just busted open that I haven't used in like 20 years.

30:46

Doug and Patty and Skeeter.

30:49

Dude.

30:50

Whoa, the animation on this is actually really good too.

30:53

This is wild.

30:54

Holy fuck, was the budget of this show insane?

30:56

I remember this though.

30:58

Wow, dude.

30:59

When you said Doug, I had no idea what you were talking about.

31:02

And the second I saw that, it like blew my brain wide open.

31:06

Arthur.

31:07

Did Arthur get a movie?

31:09

He got a lot of like straight to DVD stuff, but he never got a real theatrical release.

31:19

What is this?

31:20

We could do Cat-Dog.

31:22

Oh, dude, Cat-Dog was sick too.

31:25

That was an awesome show.

31:26

What in the world?

31:28

What the heck?

31:33

What the fuck is this shit?

31:36

Doris.

31:37

Bro.

31:38

The door.

31:39

This is 90s 3D animation.

31:42

That's what that shit was.

31:44

Scooby-Doo.

31:45

Nice.

31:46

Love it.

31:47

This is Ace Ventura.

31:48

Yeah.

31:49

There's an Ace Ventura TV show?

31:51

A cartoon?

31:52

Oh my God.

31:56

We had some good cartoons in the 90s, man.

32:00

There's an Addams Family cartoon.

32:02

Yeah.

32:03

I remember there was a live action show.

32:06

Well, it was based on the live action movies from like the 60s.

32:10

Because Addams Family has been around for so long.

32:13

Uncle Fester.

32:14

Huh?

32:15

That's what that guy's name was, Uncle Fester, the dude on the train.

32:18

I don't know that show.

32:20

What the fuck is this?

32:22

What is this?

32:23

What are those machines called?

32:25

Like a Rube Goldberg.

32:26

Yeah, a Rube Goldberg machine.

32:28

I have like a vague memory of what this is.

32:30

I have no memory of what this is.

32:33

McGee and me.

32:34

Nice.

32:35

Oh, Paddington Bear.

32:37

Bro, he got a movie.

32:39

Like a real one, like a 3D animated.

32:42

Yeah, like live action 3D.

32:44

I remember that shit.

32:45

What is this?

32:46

I have no idea.

32:47

The Headless Horseman?

32:49

Sam and Max.

32:51

Is this Super Mario Brothers?

32:53

There was a 90s Super Mario Brothers cartoon?

32:56

Brandon, there's a Mario Brothers TV series from the 90s.

33:01

You know, there's like tons of Looney Tunes from the 90s too.

33:04

Like there's so much Looney Tunes.

33:06

Looney Tunes, there's actually episodes of Looney Tunes that have been completely wiped from the air because they're so like awful.

33:14

There's like an episode of Looney Tunes from like 93 where Bugs Bunny does blackface.

33:19

It's pretty bad.

33:22

Because that shit was like...

33:23

Oh, do you remember this show?

33:25

The Creepy Puppet Show?

33:26

Yeah.

33:27

This shit was awful.

33:29

This is the Wild Thornberries, right?

33:31

I think so.

33:33

It was Animal Crackers.

33:35

They made a TV show out of a freaking everything in the 90s.

33:38

The Animal Shelf.

33:40

It was literally like the weirdest time for television, but also the best time for television because there was so much random shit.

33:49

Animaniacs, dude.

33:51

The difference in animation between something like Animaniacs though and like other shit.

33:58

Is that an Archie Comics TV show?

34:01

What about Time Today?

34:03

This is my favorite show, I think.

34:06

The theme song is super catchy.

34:09

What the hell is this?

34:11

I have no idea.

34:13

Oh, is this Monster by Mistake?

34:15

Monster by Mistake.

34:17

It was not Monster by Mistake.

34:20

There was an Ant-Man TV show?

34:22

Whoa, dude.

34:23

The Bar.

34:24

Oh, yeah, Bad Bar.

34:26

The Elephant TV show.

34:28

What the f-

34:30

I've never saw this ever.

34:35

Duck breaks his ass out of an egg and Brendon's like, what the fuck?

34:40

What is this shit?

34:42

There was a weird realm of TV in the 90s.

34:44

The Bloody Animals.

34:46

You know what's funny about some of these shows though?

34:48

They were someone's favorite show, guaranteed.

34:50

Oh, absolutely.

34:52

I remember Beast Wars.

34:54

Yeah, Beavis and Butthead, baby.

34:56

A Beetlejuice cartoon.

34:58

Whoa, this is wackiest fuck.

35:00

It's creepy.

35:02

Holy shit, look at the intro.

35:04

It's gonna give you a seizure just watching this shit.

35:06

Whoa, dude.

35:08

Everyone listening right now needs to go watch the Beetlejuice intro from the 90s.

35:13

Shit is wild.

35:14

Thank you, Retro Crunch.

35:16

What the fuck is this?

35:18

Boy Robot.

35:20

Why did I not know about any of this?

35:22

Big guy and, do you remember George Trinx?

35:24

Oh, yeah, George Trinx was funny.

35:26

That was a good show.

35:28

What in the fuck is this?

35:32

Is that where this came from?

35:34

No, it was a song from like the 50s.

35:36

It was like a comedy album from the 50s.

35:40

But there's a show about animated birds.

35:46

And the theme song is literally just bird is the word.

35:50

It's literally just called birds.

35:52

It's also got a seizure warning probably before every episode

35:56

because the fucking intro was just flashy colors.

36:00

Dude, blue's clues. There you go.

36:02

Here's the mail. It makes me wail.

36:04

It makes me want to wag my tail when I go.

36:06

Oh, I know. It never fails.

36:08

It makes me want to wag my tail.

36:10

It must be the original Steve.

36:12

When it comes, I want to wail.

36:16

It's got to be the original Steve.

36:18

Oh, I remember this show.

36:20

I don't remember what it's called, though.

36:22

Yeah, I remember it too, though.

36:24

It's in my memory bank.

36:26

Stashed away with dust on it.

36:28

Bob and Margaret.

36:30

Bob and Margaret.

36:32

Was it for adults?

36:34

I don't remember.

36:36

Oh, dude. Yeah.

36:38

Bob and Margaret was like an adult,

36:40

like after dark television show.

36:42

Holy fuck.

36:44

But like because it was a cartoon,

36:46

I remember getting away with it.

36:48

Yeah, it was like on with new ground

36:50

with the undergrads and shit, though.

36:52

Like it was on like the late at night.

36:54

This is funny because this is actually all 3D animated

36:58

from the 90s.

37:00

Oh, Bobby's world.

37:02

Bro, the tricycle.

37:04

Oh, the tricycle.

37:06

He's got his little trike.

37:08

Did you watch this?

37:10

I did. It was awesome.

37:12

I remember this, unlike the WB.

37:14

This was the good shit, man.

37:16

It's a good intro.

37:18

It is a good intro.

37:20

How did some of these shows get made?

37:22

That's what I mean.

37:24

Some of the shit would just get denied instantly nowadays.

37:26

I don't know.

37:28

Oh, my God.

37:30

That shit was made in like, what the heck?

37:32

What the hell is going on?

37:34

Wow.

37:36

That was a blast from the past.

37:40

Is there even such a thing as

37:42

Saturday morning cartoons anymore?

37:44

Because the kids just have everything.

37:46

I don't think so.

37:48

Also, we didn't see that one,

37:50

but there's an Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog intro

37:52

in this video.

37:54

Oh, my God, I watched this show.

37:56

I did, too. This is so awesome, bro.

37:58

I remember this TV show.

38:00

What a weird intro, though.

38:02

Holy cow.

38:04

This is chaos.

38:06

Wow.

38:08

It's weird to think about, though,

38:10

but these are shows we

38:12

could have seen once

38:14

and then never watched again.

38:16

Right. Because we weren't in front of the TV.

38:18

Because we didn't know.

38:20

Because they got taken off the air.

38:22

Or there were only 13 episodes.

38:24

Right.

38:26

But then there's stuff like, I would watch TV

38:28

before school every day.

38:30

I'd eat my breakfast and watch.

38:32

It would be before grade school,

38:34

so I'd get on the bus.

38:36

Yeah, Arthur was on in the mornings.

38:38

I also watched Teen Titans

38:40

religiously in the morning.

38:42

I'd get up, I'd get my cereal,

38:44

and at 7.30, I'd sit down in front of the TV,

38:46

and I'd watch Teen Titans for half an hour,

38:48

and then I would go to school.

38:50

I saw every single episode of Teen Titans,

38:52

and that was 2003 or something,

38:54

or four that show came out.

38:56

That was like way before Teen Titans go.

38:58

It was like the darker version of the show

39:00

and all that stuff, and it was like...

39:02

Yeah.

39:03

But then there's shows that I didn't see like any of.

39:05

Ever. I watched like one episode here or there,

39:07

but I liked it. I just didn't know when to watch it

39:09

because I didn't have the time. Like, I wasn't

39:11

around the TV at the right time.

39:13
