But would you have watched John's parody of those shows?

Only if he were working under some kind of restraint and it were as good as the Nick episodes of R&S, and only if he didnt take forever to produce each episode

I see. So you would not be a viewer of this prospective show.

Smurfs for child me was the very cut-off for me in watching something on TV; it was the bare minimum that a show had to be for me to watch it. If something was even more boring or lame, I'd just play with toys or vidya. John K's product would be in that bracket of worse than the Smurfs.

All of his ideas are worse than the Smurfs, and he's lucky he had a group to prop him up with Ren and Stimpy.

Some of the ideas in the pitch blog read like parodies, and there are others that could work - but under the helm of someone completely different. They would work with a style of comedy totally antithetical to John K.'s.

EDIT: I was recently reading Thad Komorowski's Twitter feed. One tweet talked about how an ex-associate of John's wrote him after seeing Crumb, the documentary, and compared John's modern work to that of Charles Crumb after his style had deteriorated.

Somehow it makes perfect sense.

What about Mike Judge?

Just been reading a 1995 interview with Mike Judge conducted by John K. John opens up with:

"I guess they thought it would be cool to have two corrupters of youth together in the same interview."

Speak for yourself, John.

So since it would have been his idea of a parody, they'd have just borne a vague, passing resemblance to the Smurfs and whatnot while farting, pissing, having infected pimples, and being gay.

It's been done.

No hypotheticals on what would make anything of JK's "work." He's more than had his nine lives in the entertainment biz. Let him finally die so we can finally stop hearing about him.

Welcome back Mysterious Stranger! Who is totally is not someone that worked on the show.

If it makes you feel better, sure.

That statement totally isn't creepy at all.

Another thing about Mike Judge I just remembered - remember the Robot Chicken sketch where Beavis and Butthead join the Teen Titans? Mike wasnt happy about that sketch and managed to get WB to remove it from the initial DVD release. It was eventually released as a special feature on a later set. AFAIK this is the only time that a creator ever made a big deal over the fact Robot Chicken used his characters, and it was a very tasteful sketch that in no way was intended to insult him and was clearly protected by parody laws.

Just recently there was the controversy about Robot Chicken using the Homestar Runner characters and the creator getting mad about it, but to be fair they did copy the animation pretty much wholesale so it looked like he was involved.

This is a thread about John K., guys. Please stay on topic.

Now, I already posted about this here, but I'll do it again:

Ever since mid-2016 John K. has rejected offers to be in the Ren and Stimpy documentary. However, not too long ago John changed his mind and did an interview for the documentary.

Now - why do you think he did that?...

What gets me is why he would choose to do that now when people have even more reason to hate him, what with the pedophilia claims and all.

I suppose he would want to defend himself, but if I were in his shoes, I'd lay low for a while.

Thing is, though, he has been pretty much laying low. Other than the apology there wasn't much out of his end.

I don't know why exactly the directors chose to do it, either. They've interviewed a lot of the other guys who were involved in the show, and know what's been going on - they'd probably know that when you talk to John K. about something, he's going to push his narrative, he'll play the victim, he's basically not worth your time.

I can see why the directors would want to do it - John K's the literal creator of the show they're making the documentary on, so it would probably feel incomplete without something from him, at least from an audience perspective. And they would likely know he's full of shit anyway since they have talked to other people involved.

They could use the footage of their interview with John and edit it to show what kind of person he really is.

Basically like virtually every attention-craving sociopath, he thinks he can bring everyone around to his side if he can just talk at them long enough. The ego and lack of morals involved make them think that it's just an issue of not being able to explain why everyone should be adoring you.

 

[AnOminous]

Now - why do you think he did that?...

Partly because he's completely fucking irrelevant at this point, and despised on top of that, so he really has nothing else to do and no claim to any kind of cultural importance other than R&S. For better or worse, that's his masterwork and the capstone of his life.

Partly because his reputation has just been nuked from orbit because of the #worsethanmetoo pedo shit that makes him look beyond creepy.

Partly because the documentary would stand a solid chance of shitting all over his legacy and himself personally and maybe he hopes they'll go slightly easier on him if he gives them an interview. Maybe he even tried to cut a deal on that issue.

I personally think that the reason why he wants to be interviewed is so that he can tell "his side of the story" to somehow redeem himself, which consists of him yammering about how bad the Games episodes were and how Terrytoons was good than most cartoons or some other kinds of shit.

Thad Komorowski did not interview John for Sick Little Monkeys and the book was probably all the better for it. He really has nothing to bring to the table that doesn't involve him trying to push his narrative.
