*"You gotta keep your eyes open too, because the world's full of things that you haven't discovered yet, and you can use those things."* -John K. Hmm. True that
I was an instant fan of Ren and Stimpy the first time I saw it in the early nineties, Rens voice was a big part of the attraction , because it reminded me of people doing impression's of Peter Lorre. Ren and stimpy actually makes me laugh out loud , which isn't exactly usual for me , it also seemed like an old style of cartoon that I'd been missing for years, but actually it was pretty much like nothing I'd seen before , quite strange.
In my opinion, depression, particularly manic depression (Bipolar) is a hell of an illness, and makes people do things they may not otherwise do when unmedicated on a manic episode. John made some mistakes, we ALL have. We're all human. I like the guy. His talents, and artistic genius gave us some of the best memories via tv. His contribution to the 90s literally made my childhood better by way of escapism. I can still remember watching the show, and laughing, taking my mind off of the instability I had no control over (unhealthy childhood). I love his style, and will always think of him as an icon rather than focusing on his faults/personal life.
Kricfalusi’s bipolar disorder does NOT give him an excuse for what he did to those two teenage girls. Most people who are neurodivergent are not sexual predators. However, Kricfalusi’s undiagnosed ADHD and bipolar disorder could be a factor in his bad habit of failing to meet production deadlines. Consistent failure to stick to a schedule is a major symptom of ADHD.
@@BugsyPleebs I do know what I’m talking about. I have ADHD...and I have been professionally diagnosed with both Clinical Depression, OCD and ADHD. I am neurodivergent. ADHD causes me to miss deadlines when I have a tight schedule, and it also causes me to be “time blind”...that means that I cannot keep track of time and I completely lack a mental clock for schedules.
@@melissawickersham9912I think they were being sarcastic. Basically saying “How dare you speak logic while people jerk-off to nostalgia created by a pervert?” At least I hope they are. Then again, people like John K. will attract the likeminded.
He had a hard, troubled childhood. But he changed the animation industry almost single handedly. Going all the way back to what he did at Hannah barbera with the 80s jetsons
Genius and madness often coexist in the same mind. However, sometimes madness overshadows genius and brings about the downfall of the mind who has both. Other times, the perversion of one’s desires and base instincts will conspire with madness to bring about the downfall of genius. John Kricfalusi’s psychological faults and character flaws have overshadowed his genius and brought about his downfall. He is a cautionary tale of a genius who has fallen to his own madness and his own perversion.

Hmm. True that
I listen to this every day when I was in high school

@@SLlMSHADY cause I wanted to be a cartoonist and John k was my hero
@@kevinngomez2461 O h okay makes sense, I thought you were just like listening to it everyday just to question john's life choices
@@SLlMSHADY what he did is what he did, but professionally the guy was a genius
@@kevinngomez2461 true
I love that Chris says 'Word' when John K. mentions he worked on Laverne & Shirley in the Army. This is really the 'Nerdist'.
