He's definitely on drugs. Only a coke head acts like that 😂 jumping around and screaming

So basically John was on the spectrum

John K and Spumco were Fired on 2/26/1993 after complete 4 remaining season 2 episodes. NOT 1992. 9/23/1992 was when Nickelodeon revealed that they would be starting Games Animations and were requesting John K work with them. He Refused, so Nick cut their Budget and Terminated their contract 5 months later.

2:17 Oh no, poor Charlie Brown and Snoopy... Don't let John K get you guys 😭

2:17 Oh no, poor Charlie Brown and Snoopy, run away from John K as far as possible and don't let him harm you guys 😭

10:58 yeah keep telling yourself that..John disturbed to be let go from the show… just because you make a creator driven cartoon doesn’t mean you get to do whatever you want.. there are boundaries and he used up all his chances because he wanted to be difficult… and then when he’s like go, he plays the victim card

While I will say I like the more edgy and adult side of ren and stimpy like mans best friend and space madness and even happy happy joy joy but , for a kids show having this between rugrats and Doug and hey Arnold is litterally insanity and damn John is a disrespectful rude sh!t face , I love ren and stimpy at an art perspective one of my huge influences before I found out what a ass this guy was definitely disappointing even now

I have always felt that Stimpy & Stinky's reunion was one of the most emotionally-charged scenes in damn near any cartoon of the era. The way it builds and builds to that moment and climaxes with that exact, spare instrumental of "Silent Night" is magnificent. He may have been making fun of it, but in the process he made probably the purest example of it.

12:43 oh look. Michael Jackson's favorite John K Cartoon short. No I'm not making this shit up

The first guy to get cancelled over false allegations. I guess lol mee too always hurts everyone.

It's one of my favorite episodes of the series.

Uncle Eddie really looks like an uncle now in this.

The more I’m reminded of this show’s terrible production with the OG Spumco staff, the more I feel sad for Bob Camp. Sure, maybe going back to do the show without the OG team was a dick move and maybe the parties could’ve thought of a better compromise, but at the same time, Bob and a bunch of other OG artists staying for Games was probably the best outcome for the show going forward, even if Games did produce some of the lesser episodes of the series. Personally, I feel Ren & Stimpy was best when John and Bob worked together, I am not one of those fans who tries to put one man over the other, because look at what happened after they separated for both Games’ later episodes and MOST of the shit show that is Adult Party. But I still feel Camp gets somewhat unfairly because of the original studio division in 1992. I look at what he did for Games as trying his best to care for a child separated from their abusive parent. Was he perfect at it, no. But I still respect him & the remaining Games crewmembers for at least trying to make something out of a shitty situation. As for John K, look, he CAN be a good artist and a good driving force when he’s heavily monitored and occasionally told no. But aside from his bright spots on OG R&S, yeah he and his dumbass abusive dad can both burn in hell. I am NOT defending those freaks any further, sorry. How do you guys (and the possible naysayers I feel I WILL get) feel about the situation? Fire away if you want….

10:51 stuff like this comment is why I hate journalists/interviewers. Always trying to form a narrative over their contrive beliefs.

John k will never take accountability for anything because hes never had to.

Its always sad when talented people,be they artists,actors,musicians,turn out to be terrible people in real life. This cartoon will be forever tainted by all this,which is a shame because it was not only historically important to the art of animation,but a part of so many peoples memories

This show had such a talented crew of artists behind it. Its a shame John wasnt easier to work with and ultimately brought about its own demise (in more ways than one). But the show and the artwork did definetly suffer after John K was fired. You could tell the artists got lazy and started drawing them in a faster,more indifferent production line manner. You could see a lot of Chris Reccardis simplified "flat" drawings over and over. Just as John needed to be reigned in to a certain extent by the network to keep from going off the rails,the artists needed to have John reigning them in to a degree to keep from drifting too far off course.

Vanessa Coffey seems like a really nice lady,but I dont think she understood this show or what made it funny. Stimpy isnt real. Its a cartoon and the violence was funny

Ren and Stimpy was NEVER a kids cartoon. It was better suited to MTV than Nickelodeon.

smash

That card with the German Shepherd with a black bag over its head whilst having a gun in its mouth along with the words "You're gonna d*e, bi*ch" is really disturbing to me. I hate dogs with every fiber of my being, but this is just awful. I wonder who the sick f*ck was that sent it to this sweet woman and where they're at now?

John: no its the 50's,60's, 70's and 80's are a embarrassment and travesty.

6:20 he’s saying this like he’s the main man who made Ren and Stimpy. He’s such a narcissist. He flinging blame, taking the blame off himself…

I seriously think that Ren and Stimpy show could have been the Spongebob of the 90s if John K respected deadlines and his staff.

Big surprise it fell apart because they were creating real art. Not bullshit ‘abstract’ art which takes no time and no talent. The money people expected them to create REAL art in a bullshit ‘abstract’ amount of time.

John is really mentally ill person psycho

I blame John k and Nick as well for the firing. John K was asking for too much. it was a miracle for him doing all that comedy and he was asking for too much. and Nick because all thoses changes in plots, jokes, etc. making the dateline hard to get. That's why after the season 4 R&S didn't have the same impact they had a first. The season 3 was an exception but only because was incomplete stories from Spumco before the firing.

So sad to Bob saying that he and John Both have not seen each other since 1992 because of the pain John have cause not only to bob but everyone else with work with John and and keep talking about it all these years later so hard to watch and emotional too.

13:21 MR LAWRENCE💚💚

Let's be clear. The cartoos WITHOUT John K. WERE NOT Ren & Stimpy. They were COPIES of it.

I wish he created more scenes like Hot Chihuahua Lust

They should make a horror movie about John Kricfalusi.

John did nothing wrong

No any other documentary gave me so many feelings. Curiosity, Happiness, Shocking, Inspiration, Admiration, Surprise, Sadness, Shame and Overthinking.

John K sounds exactly like any interview with a serial killer. It's not mistakes, it's a crime. Complete sociopath. Can't say the words I am sorry. When you got the dime you don't do time. Too bad Robin Byrd's parents never went to child welfare, or were they like that too?

Man I respect John K’s aspiration for animation and his love for it in general. Sucks that he’s a terrible person though. I wish I could look up to him as an artist myself. I will definitely still love his work though

I find it intriguing that john k actually came on the documentary. As soon as he sits down, you can see him automatically start critisizing the production.

he loved drawing so much, he felt like a kid! now i kind of get why he basically dated one. to stay young, forgetting about laws! probably shouldnt have done that.

I wonder why Billy West isn’t in the documentary.

Bob Camp isn’t as bad as John Kricfalusi.

John Kricfalusi was and is a narcissistic sociopath.

1980s cartoons weren’t that bad or poorly drawn. The foreign made 1980s cartoons were best, of course.

It is my favorite show.

I love that johns voice has turned from a way more subdued Billy West to George Liquor

3:16 glorious

That's what makes this show precious, and a symbol of the 90s.

Oh dear, wait to you hear or see Adult Party Cartoon Jack - 5:16 to 5:25

motherfucking John K. it's why I did a major in animation...i hate him but I love him so fucking much...

1:46 That was painted at Games! Ha!

What is the Kirk Douglas movie that is featured in this documentary?
