I can't tell because it's Mike but I don't think Jay actually lived in the home but that type of neighborhood. Because man if I lived there I would be telling everyone especially as a film buff. I do sympathize with Mike not having cable until he was older, ditto.

Their talk about "[Property] The Movie" is interesting to bring up since the TMNT Re:view they mention is the one exception, the turtles remained popular for at least three or four more years after it. The third movie is when it ran out of steam.

Oh it's still popular. You seen how many series they've done now of them?

I can see why giving out your childhood home address could be seen as a privacy concern if you're an eceleb.
 
I thought their body language and the way they were talking made it obvious that they were joking. Hell, even just the joke alone is obvious.

I love these dumb drunks more than not, but their creative ideas fit right in with the Hollywood factory output. Wonder why they haven’t made it.

I think it’s a joke too, but that would’ve been a hilarious coincidence. I pictured Jay living like that one horror movie he and Josh reviewed and related to.

That Star Trek: Galaxy script treatment did sound like Doctor Who. Granted, it sounded better than current Who, but I wouldn't call it creative.

Garbage Pail Kids would have been better suited to a committed Sesame Street parody, given their origins, like Wonder Showzen.

CBS made a Garbage Pail Kids Saturday morning cartoon which in the event was never broadcast due to a letter writing campaign. They did eventually release it two decades later onto DvD though, and there are low res episodes on YouTube:


It's... not awful? It's not very good, either, and obviously it's entirely tame with all the sharp edges blunted. They chose to go with vignettes, which certainly gave them a lot of leeway, yet also rendered the presence of the Garbage Pail Kids pointless. The best jokes are all in the background, very much like Mad Magazine where nothing in the speech bubbles was ever even remotely amusing. The false starts are the best thing about it, where they poke fun at the cutesy crap in other cartoons around them, but there's no momentum to it. They didn't have the legal balls to do what they needed to do and rip into the banality of 80s kids cartoons, and instead just added to it.

With an intro like that, I though that JohnK's development work went further than he detailed.

The idea of "[insert brand here]: The Movie" is still going on, even throughout the 90s and 2000s all the way to the current year. I think the trend became more marketable once Beavis & Butthead, South Park, Rugrats and Pokemon's respective movies came out. *cough cough* The Bob's Burgers Movie came out this year and was shat on by Top Gun Maverick at the box office.
 
New quasi-Half in the Bag. I’m a little surprised neither of them has really watched WKUK, though I guess it was a little after their time.
 
Whitest Kids You Know is a name I haven't heard in a while



They're the illest fuhrer on the mic, but everyone be Hitler hatin' , except all the aryans in the area carryin' rhymes.
 
Reading user reviews AGAIN. This is really starting to wear out its welcome when their videos have already started to feel bloated enough in the last few years.
