How did The Red Guy get onto a children's show? He's basically satan. How did parents not complain about this?

>>150369355 (OP)
Case he's funny

>>150369355 (OP)
I'm surprised there weren't any heavily christian parents who banned their kids from Cow and Chicken because of The Red Guy

Parents did complain. And it took years but the network finally listened. And they changed. And now kids watch this instead of cable.

>>150369355 (OP)
The did, why do you think he's called "The Red Guy" and not "The Devil"?

>>150369490
If they would have been concerned they would have banned them from all broadcast or cable television.

It was much nicer when these people were not in broader society.

>>150369355 (OP)
He was the villain.

>>150369515
Even then, he very much looks like the devil, making me wonder why there weren't any heavily christian parents who didn't like their kids watching C&C

>>150369516
Parents burned pokemon cards because they thought it was Evolutionist propaganda. There was a whole mini satanic panic around this era.

>>150369504
Kys mong

>>150369515
Just like how the devil in PPG was called "Him", because we all know what character they're implying.

Are you going to post about Metv toons again?

>>150369490
The devil being their constant adversary is very Christian.

>>150369691
No, i'm gonna call you a fag

>>150369759
True. I just know some people don't like seeing the devil in any form of media

Honest question, was he supposed to be a gay stereotype like Him was?

>>150369355 (OP)
Same people who put ADOLF MOTHERFUCKIN HITLER in a children's show as a principal

>>150369355 (OP)
as a kid, I wasn't surprised about him being a devil
lots of demons and devils in games and cartoons, it didn't even register as strange
I was very surprised about how sexual he was
it felt like something that slipped through the people in charge, like I wasn't supposed to be watching that
now kids have state sponsored drag queens teaching them how to twerk at school, so I guess cartoon network was ahead of its time

>>150369355 (OP)
Funny he was flat-out called the devil in the pilot
>>150369490
my mom tried to ban us from it because she thought cow was a male and 'you can see his udder'
we told her to fuck off, we live with dad now
she took us back in a year, and to this day swears he took US from HER.. somehow despite not having custody.

>>150369564
i wouldnt trust anything the news reports about that era
>>150369516
they didnt hold any power back then

>>150369355 (OP)
Cow and Chicken used to be a CN classic and regarded as one of their best shows, now its hated in recent years. What happened?

>>150370597
https://youtu.be/s9OW0mZ5frk go watch an episode

>>150370669
this is great, what's wrong with it

>>150369355 (OP)
Cow and Chicken was voted to become a series, so the network just followed the results and greenlit it.

>>150370560
>i wouldnt trust anything the news reports about that era
You're right to be careful about it, but I can say anecdotally at least that I did know some families like that. One kid's family made him get rid of all his dragon toys because they were satanic. Another kid I knew, his mom didn't like him having anything to do with magic, which made playing Final Fantasy around her awkward (especially when he summoned Hades). I heard some older people worrying about Dungeons and Dragons being satanic. A lot of parents banned their kids rom shows like The Simpsons too, or TV in general.

There were strict parents and sometimes it was for religious reasons. It happened, but the thing is it was like 2 or 3 kids in your entire class rather than the norm for me. There were definitely preachers out there railing against things too. But you're right, they didn't have enough influence to stop things from being popular. At most they did stuff locally, like successfully getting Pokemon cards banned from some schools or stopping schools from celebrating Halloween. Things like that.

>>150370758
And of course, my experience in California is probably way different than somebody who grew up in the Bible Belt.

>>150370597
wrong and wrong. C&C has always just been kinda "there"

>>150370669
Yikes, I never realized how blindingly fast the pacing was. That was the main reason I hated johnny test, but I guess theyve been doing thungs like this all the time now that I think about it

>>150370774
More episodes than Courage.

>>150370899
Courage was lucky it even got made, John Dilworth was on the other side of the country and it was the turn of the millennium

>>150370597
I'd consider C&C to be underappreciated, but not underrated. It wasn't a great show, but man, some of the bits knocked it out of the park.

Why couldn't adventure time be a 90s cartoon?

Weirdly the British advertising for the show leaned even more into them being the Devil, even when he was "The Red Guy" in actual airing.

>>150370950
It was funnier than S1 Johnny Bravo.

>>150370597
I honestly think modern audiences just find it too ugly. People aren't going to give a cartoon much praise if they don't like looking at it.

LADIEEEES

>>150369355 (OP)
He was The Devil in the pilot. In yhe series they typicallu called him Ben Pantsed, or a related pun, then credited him as The Red Guy.

>>150369579
You first yourist

How did Him get onto a children's show? He's basically satan. How did parents not complain about this?

>>150370597
It was never that good. Most of the plots are generic kiddie shit and the constant screaming is grating. I Am Weasel is better, but that one suffers from having good episode premises, but terrible executions. They somehow made a Batman parody unfunny and boring.

>>150372950

>both the devil
>both are clearly gay
What was the deal with this?

>>150373133
You expect Satan to be straight?

>>150373163
I expect Satan to be asexual. He isn't human.

>>150369355 (OP)
>HOW WAS THIS ALLOWED
get raped

>>150373425
No, Satan would be a faggot, since he represents evil.

Even South Park loves this trope, lol.

>>150369515
he actually was the devil in the what a cartoon pilot. He even tries to bring chicken to hell. I think this is the only time he was referred to this way.

>>150369921
There's a witty remark about the US education system in this post and I don't think I should uncover it

>>150369515
To make it safe for kids :D

>>150373425
the jews believe that the snake was Satan and that he is Cain's true father iirc

>>150370927
That Oscar nomination helped.

>>150369540
>he very much looks like the devil
Eehhh, not really? He's such a cartoonish abstract that he's feels fairly far removed from any sort of actual satanic imagery.

>>150370597
The fuck you mean "hated"? Literally where is the proof of that? Are you that same retarded autist that keeps insisting nobody actually liked CatDog either?

>>150370597
The grossout era ended. Nickelodeon adapted.

>>150371119
Everything was funnier than season 1 Johnny Bravo.

>>150371119
>>150375686
I liked S1 of Johnny Bravo. It was kind of like a proto-Family-Guy.

>>150369355 (OP)
Butts are funny.

Because big butt = funny

>the jews believe that the snake was Satan
Pretty sure this is a christian thing. Satan wasn't evil in the OT.

>>150369515
he is Lucy Fernandez

>>150370597
Modern sensibility puriteens pretending they were around for CN's good years have shit taste, C&C was hilarious as a kid and even moreso as an adult who can get all the innuendo.
>>150370758
Fundies got their just desserts, now most schools don't even have a Christmas program anymore.

>How did parents not complain about this?
They did.

>>150374023
The entire show felt like a roast on the US Education System desu

>>150370597
A YouTuber said something and zoomers started to parrot. Same as usual.

did he turn kids gay?

>>150369921
I can understand literal Hitler being a racist fuck towards robots, but why were all the kids such racist fucks towards them

>>150369355 (OP)
>How did parents not complain about this?
they did a lot especially because he walked around on his bare ass as well as all his double speak only adults/teens would get.

It was the fucking 90's man christcucks were bitching about everything Atleast this guy is literally satan insane and completely untrust worthy he teaches lessons every time he is on the show, non-retarded parents liked him.

>>150369355 (OP)
Every western animation likes put Demons in every cast.
The Simpsons, Futurama, Helluva, etc

>>150369504
i could only imagine how miserable one's life would be if you did this shit for a living, it's right up there with wearing the mascot suit in a chuck e cheese or minimum wage jobs at fast food.

>>150369355 (OP)
Wait.. Is he famous?

>>150373741
he's an angel, so he wouldn't have genitalia or sexual preferences or even a physical form of any kind unless he was made for a specific purpose which required them

people have been arguing about this shit for 2000 years anon, what you've just claimed would at one time have resulted in your entire city being burned to the ground and the people burned with it

>>150372950
why do you imagine anybody would have respected those complaints? they have no legal basis for excluding satan from children's programming, it's just a fictional character

your feelings don't fucking matter

OP is a stupid faggot

>>150374937
Well, kikes are retarded

>>150380335
How much you're getting paid is a huge factor in how much a job sucks and being a slop peddler can pay shockingly well. If being a fast food wagie paid six figures a year, I'd sure as hell be willing to do it.

>>150369355 (OP)
>How did parents not complain about this?
They did, I got in truble.

>>150370597
Its not hated, it just didn't didn't survive the turn of the millennium so all the Zillenials that now shape cartoon discourse never watched it in the same way they watched others.
The soft rule right now is if a show was made before 2005 but survived past 2005 the 20 somethings know and care about it.
If it was made in the 2005-2010 dead zone then nobody cares about it unless its Ben 10, Chowder, or Flapjack.

>>150383685
Phineas and Ferb came out in the 2005-2010 dead zone. Same with Avatar. Both are beloved

>>150385256
I was only talking in the context of CN but yeah those are the other two shows from the era people talk about a lot.
Nick was entering its peak :if its not on SpongeBob's level toss it" and Disney had like no original animated programming during 2007-2009 so there is just less for people to latch on to.
There was also TDI but that existed in a pocket of Canadian shows that just kept coming because of the cheap price of production and stuck around via sheer mass of content.

There probably were. Why are you guys so incredulous about everything?
