How Come Nobody Remembers Him?
 
Him? From Powerpuff Girls? Y'know? "Him"? I consider myself a bit of a cartoon fanatic, and whenever Powerpuff Girls comes up with someone I've never talked about it to before, I seem to be the only who remembers him. Y'know him... Him. http://alonefancryinginthewilderness...010/07/him.gif

Repressed memories, maybe? Come to think of it, of all thing things that have been rejected by censors for children's cartoons, how did Him make the cut?

C'mon, he LICKED The Professor's face! (Two minutes in here> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfTD1NDNFIg )

And you thought Powerpuff Girls was all gumpdrops and glitter.

One of my favorite episodes is when the Powerpuff Girls race into the future on accident, and there Him is like... the ringleader of evil. That episode was so dark in nature, and I loved it.

The series wouldn't have been the same without Him, to be honest. : (

i remember him :P

he was my favourite villain ><

People do remember Him. xD People have been talking about him since the Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt show came out because the demon girls have red skin and for a while it didn't show their boss, so people were speculating it was Him. xDDD

Taradiddle 01-28-2011 01:02 AM

Haha, I guess I just don't know the right people. I do love Him as well, though. I just can't help but wonder, how was he presented to the censors in such a way that they were like, "Yes. This is definitely appropriate for children. Good work." He wasn't a minor character either, it's not like he could've been over-looked.

Maybe it was just because it was the 90's (although late 90's) and then the show got popular.

Cartoons that get away with the most: The ones that bring in the dough, and the ones that the network thinks are so insignificant, they don't bother to pay attention.

Edit: I had no idea what the Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt show was, so I looked it up on youtube and I... I feel mind raped.

Oh dear. xD; Umm... the first few episodes are pretty bad... but once the Demon Sisters come in and there's an actual plot, it gets a lot better. >o>

Of course I remember Him! I identified with Him when I was younger!

The Mayor from Panty and Stocking reminds me of Him. xD

Taiki 01-28-2011 05:04 AM

See!! xDDD I'm not the only one who did.

Uke 01-28-2011 06:22 AM

Oh gosh, Him was AWESOME though! xD *high-fives*

Although I was like, "If I'm a boy who dresses like him... does that make me evil? ;3;"

Misericorde 01-28-2011 07:41 AM

I absolutely LOVED Him. Dx
If he hadn't of been on the PPG, I probably wouldn't have watched.

Echo-chan713 01-28-2011 10:01 AM

I know Him, I laughed everytime he appeared on an episode

Leah 01-28-2011 12:50 PM

I barely watched Powerpuff Girls, and even I know Him. XD

Azrael 01-28-2011 02:23 PM

XD Oh wow I forgot about Him... how the hell did he make it to a kid's cartoon? Haha. We look at today's shows and we're like "OURS WERE NEVER THIS BAD/DISGUSTING/WHATEVER" but then we sit down and remember things like this. XD Or Samurai Jack always running around in his underwear...

Taradiddle 01-29-2011 12:39 AM

Oh Hell yeah, 90's and early 2000 cartoons got pretty crazy, and I'm not just talking about Ren & Stimpy or Invader Zim. Cow and Chicken was pretty weird, from Red Guy to the episode with Cousin Boneless. (On a side note, I love that Charles Adler voiced Cow, Chicken, Red Guy, AND I.R. Baboon on the show.) Dexter's Laboratory had an episode banned thanks to The Silver Spooner, a gay stereotype parody of the Silver Surfer. (Though that's not really "crazy", it proves that a lot of cartoonists wanted to push the boundaries of "for children".) Even the girly, pre-teen cartoon As Told by Ginger had its grossness. Ginger's brother (Carl?) had an eyeball in a jar that, I believe, he stole from a hospital. Heck, even early Spongebob Squarepants had its moments. And let no one forget Courage the Cowardly Dog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_BNtuQ4shs

Azrael 01-29-2011 01:27 AM

oh god Courage... XD I loved him. The creepiest one to me was either the one with the hairdresser or the one where the guy stole the plaque and all those plagues happened... ~shudder~ But I loved that show...

He always scared the poop out of me x:
