The whole series was a fun mixup of various styles of humor, and most all of it was BRILLIANTLY written!


Slappy was a has-been, and her comic value was mostly in how out of date she was. Frequently, that made for funny scenes. Oddly, the older and grouchier I get, the funnier SHE is!


....now if you'll excuse me, I need to chase some kids off my lawn.

I agree, and I especially liked the unexpected cameos/parodies; who knew they could put a Xenomorph, a Saddam Hussein look-alike, and even SATAN in a kid's show?

There was some episodes where it was like omg, are the censors ASLEEP here?! ...and then they go ape about how provocative Minerva was. From what I heard, the one the censors really let go was Rocco's Modern Life. .. if you know anything about Aussie slang, you'll either laugh or jaw-drop....maybe both.

Wow, I can't believe my comment got through, considering the major issues I had getting on FA last night.

But yeah, I agree. There was a surprising amount of adult humor in the show; like the fingerprints 'Finger Prince' from Hercule Yakko; I didn't get that one until I saw a post explaining it on Tumblr. I also agree about Minerva; all that adult humor, and yet they didn't give her a lot of screentime due to her appearance. It's a shame, because I would've loved to see her more in the show. Btw, I have drawn some pics of her too.

I'm not sure I recall the Rocco's Modern Life one (because if by 'let go', the censors allowed it, or removed it.) Surely I would've recognized that, since I'm a fan of that show too. I mean, I recognized the Rugrats parody in the show immediately...

You and me both had that same idea! Slappy Squirrel is the best! ^_^

Tbh, I don't think I remembered any of her episodes until watching the whole series on the HUB last year (I remember her being a character, but that was about it.) So I didn't have a good idea of her personality until then.

I hear that a lot. The older people get, the more they like Slappy. I'm no exception to that. :)

Well, the reason I didn't care for her as a kid is because I couldn't remember the episodes she was in; I just remembered her being a character in the show (and I just realized this maybe a few hours ago.)

I may not be old and grumpy like her (though I can be rather pessimistic,) but I probably could relate to her in some way.

her and Rita were my favorites
