WTF?!?!?!

I'll admit, I haven't watched "Tiny Toons" (Yeah, I know...), but you're telling me that they made a "Ren & Stimpy" joke at one point?!

Tiny Toons and Animaniacs felt like required viewing back then, along with Taz-Mania if you were a hardcore Looney Tunes fan. Some classic TV right there. Kind of a shame that the franchise seemed to forget about the tiny toons. You'd think them interacting with classic Looney Tunes characters would have just become a normal thing.

I was also kind of surprised to see R&S in Shaman King

One of my favorite cartoons from the Nineties. I even like the Games Animation stuff, though I never cared for the Adult Party Cartoon or whatever the VH1 version was called. My favorites are still the Sven Hoek and Ren's Bitter Half episodes.

that parody ironically brings together characters from the 3 networks that shook the foundations of USA animation and started the
silver era in the late 80s (WB, nicktoons and MTV)

I follow William Wray on Facebook and he shared this a couple of days ago:

Based on my memories I showed my son one episode (I think Rubber Nipple Salesmen) and to this day he swears he was scarred for life. This is what made me realize my memories of R&S were heavily muted, and that the cartoons I was watching with my son at the time (Spongebob, Clarence, Teen Titans Go, and Uncle Grandpa) were sanitized compared to R&S. Also, I thought the newer seasons were terrible. It was as if John K sold the show based on having the chains of censorship removed, then forgot to add the humor.

I'm one of the few people who actually likes Adult Party Cartoon/The Lost Episodes. It was fun to see how crazy John K. can get without a kids' network standing in the way of his weirdest ideas.
