I remember, Crashbox, I spy, A little curious, kindergarten, Happily Ever After: Fairytales for Every Child. All of them shaped me as a child when my own crappy parents couldn’t😂😭.
Honestly the fact anyone else can comfirm this show wasn't a fever dream feels like a goddamn psychic 1000 true damage and +1000 to all stats at the same time
its like a soul spike in pokemon or whatever it does immense psychic and physical damage (a literal spike into the back/head) and then raises ur stats i think. Crazy shit
I used to watch this show with my older brothers sometimes when we’re younger. Recently, it came up in conversation and both my brothers were saying it was a weird and scary show. At first, I was confused and kind of disagreed. Then I thought about it more and was like “actually, that shows was kind of a fever dream”. We then watched an episode and it doesn’t feel real
When you were talking about the Revolting Slob in season two, my mom came over and said "That looks like your grandpa(her dad). Like, maybe someone saw him and said 'We can make a fictional character out of this.'" AND I CAN'T BREATHE 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Holy shit, crashbox. I loved this show as a kid, Haunted House Party was my favorite Edit: I would also like to say that the Revolting Slob scared me as a kid. I’m still not fond of him
That thumbnail gave me severe ptsd I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THIS CREATURE CAME FROM AND ONLY SAW HIM ONCE AS A CHILD. It was the part where he was eating his snot. That is an awful memory that stayed unclear for so long until I found this video.
lol. I'm now 36, might have been one of the older kids to be interested in this show, but the other day, I remembered the phrase "Super Duper Pooper Scooper" randomly, and couldn't remember what it was from. Googled the phrase, and am suddenly reminded that, yes, this was a thing. And it was amazing. I was hooked to it, even for the creepy and gross parts. As an adult, gotta give it respect for how much effort was put into this show!
I still remember the theme song for Eddie Bull. Like, word for word. Did I retain any of the actual stuff that I was supposed to learn from Crashbox? Nope! Just the Eddie Bull themesong!
@lalas181 "Eddie Bull is edible, he really is incredible he's simply the best of the bunch, there's simply no disguising that he's so appetizing, and we want him for our lunch."
Captain bones reminds me of skin taker from candle cove. Imagine if this guy has a brother who more friendly and keep the children safe. Also the animation looks amazing!!!
I’m of Jamaican ancestry and always liked Think Tank. I don’t think the racial stereotype part registered to me when I was younger, I was just excited to see a Jamaican character. Plus I loved Grim adventures. I never put together that Grim was captain Bob but I’m sure that was part of me liking it.
That's ironic. I literally have Spooky Mansion running in another tab. Finding a new RUclips channel, only for them to start playing the same obscure video game I had open a few minutes ago sort of makes it feel like I'm dreaming.
@@GracieFitzpeter It’s was nuts! It’s hard to forget lol. Just finished the video and I’m very happy that my little comment helped inspire you to make this video. That’s really cool (and it makes me feel important). I remember watching this show occasionally whenever I was in hotels or resorts during vacations. We never had HBO either so this show felt like a treat. I remember watching it at night (because we would go out and do stuff during they day) and I vividly remember distraction news scaring me. It’s the middle of the night, the show has no music, theres just a lady talking and a bunch of loud crap flying around. It used to spook the hell out of me. Noises get to me more than anything else. I also remember turning my brain off during the math sections. Child brain saw numbers. Child brain shut off and watched the math robot and mean skeleton move around. Long comment over. Thanks so much for making this. This was a great trip down memory lane! Keep up the great work!
@@Moony1568 you know I never really found Distraction News scary as a kid but that makes sense. I think the tone of the show is so weird that any of the segments can be potentially terrifying lol And thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!!
1:01:56 Personally, every time I watched The Revolting Slob, when I was a kid watching this show I didn't laugh at the gross-out or the Slob being abusive, I'd generally laugh at its comedic and exaggerated moments like the Slob's hilarious one-liners he'd spout out every now and then ("Can I Eat Now!?", "Rub my Feet!"), and how goofy he can be despite being grumpy and a lazy slob. I found the whole thing entertaining for what it was, and I always thought the Slob has his hilarious and charming moments. + 1:02:45 This personality shift made him all the more charming and enjoyable in my opinion. Cause the Slob in this season made me laugh at him as much as Season 1, if not more. I also love how the Slob was given more traits and backstory to make him all the more fascinating. I do see your point for why you dislike him for being rude, childish, disgusting, and cranky in the first season, I always felt like he was meant to be a "Love-to-Hate" type of character due to how he seems to be intentionally unlikeable and unfavorable for the show to ridicule him, especially when he blows up at the end of every episode for being a slob. So I didn't really have an issue with this guy imo. 1:07:59 I was also wondering what made him the way he is. I'm guessing for the fact that he barely ever moves, he could be a little handicapped since he'd be shown moving off-camera, he is seen getting food from his fridge as of Episode 10. No offense to any autistic people when I say, the Revolting Slob may resist change since he probably has a certain level of autism on top of being unintelligent and indolent. + I'd say that he might have a disability, mentally or even physically, as he only moves his limbs very often and he was mindless enough to eat styrofoam.
My grandparents had this channel since I was a kid. Watching Crashbox from 6-16 😂 Oh and I think during Psycho Math we can assume the equations would officially be written like (x+y)÷z. He is giving us the precise order of the equation after all.
I feel like I'm in the minority of people that actually liked Revolting Slob lol. Fun Fact, the Slob was voiced by Michael McShane, the same guy who voiced Tuck and Roll on A Bug's Life. And to correct you on the lost episodes, I believe Episodes 27-39 were actually a part of the first season, hence why they used segments from the first season (Lens McCracken included). Other than that, this was a great video. Out of everyone who has done videos on this show, you've definitely covered the most amount of content from it, and I applaud you for that.
27-39 are from Season 2, they were created as filler to air in-between hiatus and to allow more time for the production of Season 2B (hence the reuse of old segments). Lens being included in Season 2A is likely because they wanted an extra closing game besides Ten 2nds and Riddlesnake.
For real I loved looking at all the details in the set of Revolting Slob. And no matter what he did you knew he'd get his comeuppance with the explosive word.
Thank you for this! I didn’t think that I’d find another “old surreal 90s trivia/education media” but here we are! Actually for whatever reason you keep on making videos on things I’m passionate about and I think that’s really cool :] PS: I can’t believe that you’ve managed to make me hate a character so much to the point of almost throwing up MULTIPLE TIMES (And I am almost always unaffected by this type of shit) and I wasn’t even looking at the screen. How did this happen.
I remember watching the reruns when I was a kid! Loved it! Haunted House Party, Mugshots, and Sketchpad were my faves and the music from Captain Bob and Eddie Bull were total earworms. The thing with psycho math wasn’t really giving wrong mechanics for an equation, he was just telling you the order to do them. As in add then divide, it’s was worded as the addition was in parentheses and in turn all divided by the last number. That’s how I see at least.
Just so you know the spongebob music is the instrumental of a sea shanty, i remember it being from ireland, don't remember the name tough, and as you can imagine a 200 years old sea shanty has been public domain for some time now Also i Just now noticed that my comment works as a puzzle. Love the vid btw
Wake up babe, new Gracie Fitzpeter video dropped 💖 Edit: 48:16 here’s an interesting Houdini fact!!! Houdini was known for being a huge skeptic when it came to ghosts and the paranormal, and for a while he went around to different seances and exposed the mediums for being fakes. Kind of sad they didn’t mention it as it is really interesting, but again, understandable, as I doubt most kids would know that information :(
I grew up watching Crashbox as a kid and absolutely loving it. My mom often sat and watched it with me. I think the puzzles were fun while also being so different from other children shows in that era. It sticks out to me the most and I would totally introduce this show to kids now!
I remember watching this for the first time. I happened to click on the segment with the revolting slob. I was of course revolted and rather terrified. Yet I could not look away from this show. So I tuned in every time it aired. Fast forward a bit and nobody believes me when I tell them this was a show for some reason. Granted I did forget what it was for a period. That is until my memories of the Revolting Slob surfaced from out of the blue and led me to look it up to make sure I wasn’t just making things up in my mind. What a great show it was.
This whole time, I thought I was remembering shows that never existed, because every time I tried to search these up I never got anything. But oh my god, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers these. (I only remembered a few of the games on Crashbox.) Now that this video's hitting me with a bunch of nostalgia and memories, I cannot believe I didn't even remember the name of the show.
Oh wow!! I can't believe im only now finding this channel -- I loved the video!! You're like, already one of my fave video essay writers!! And im so glad that there are other people who feel the exact same way about all these puzzles as i did! another thing i've noticed about revolting slob is it also seems to like, look down upon people who are hoarders. I always found the concept of revolting slob more demeaning than i did gross as a kid - it didn't feel right to make fun of, considering i lived in a house ina very similar state growing up and Ihated it, but i couldn't do anything about it. I wish they just had more tact back then when dealing with hoarder portrayals! that shit can fuck you up.
I also thought season 2 psycho math was off. I feel like maybe they thought it was too scary or intense, so they toned him down a bit. But then again, his line deliveries feel awkward and sometimes there are like 5 seconds of no speaking which is something the real professor rocket wouldn't do.
You've just earned a subscriber. I genuinely enjoyed your analysis and breakdown of this show. I remember getting glimpses of it and seeing the occasional episode here and there as a kid. Its fascinating coming back to it and remembering stuff like the Pooper Scooper, the ending snake, and of course, the slob. Also, kudos to those tracking down the lost content.
1:25:00 I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS ONE THANK YOU! I knew this was a show I just always called it “the one with the broom guy and red ball”
Those recovered lost episodes sound sketchy af. It's awesome to know that the Canadian service Crave has the entirety of Crashbox to watch. Also between your delightful vocal fry and your cat, I'm now subscribed.
This is an awesome video! I really enjoyed it and I had completely forgotten all about this show but found myself saying “oh go DI remember that!!” All throughout the video. I also really like your voice! You deserve so much more views
1:18:37 This is two years late, but my interpretation of this whole game was that Captain Bob was a souvenir shop figure. Stereotypical cartoon caricature of a place people would vacation, gimmicky function, small size. i’ve seen that exact clay material in the gift shop of the hawaiian zoo near hilo. i have a piggy bank made of it (it’s a giant fish with a fisherman next to it, with Fishing Fund written on it in bold, and if you’re wondering, i did get it from a gift shop.)
WOO CRASHBOX! Personally I only had very small spouts of exposure of the show as a kid whenever Dish Network would be generous and share free samples of paid channels for a short while. I immediately switched onto HBO Family because I absolutely loved the stuff on there, and more so Crashbox because that show was hella chaotic, had many headscratchers, and I absolutely loved it! Glad to know I'm one of the 5 people that watched it lol
I am grateful for Crash Box’s existence, as looking back at it I can see it had an influence on my appeal to multi-media and surreal artstyles. I grew up in the early 2000’s and was surprised to learned the show only ran from 1999 to 2000 when I would have watched them many years later.
You brought back a buried memory bringing up the Who Knew? Segments. I recall seeing them in between shows on HBO Family but not enough to give full details on the topics.
That intro reminded me of how i was the first avatar movie when i was a kid, i was smoshed between my brother and my sister on a hotel bed my mom and dad falling asleep well i staired at the tv my other brother asleep on the air mattress snoring, at like 3am the smell of cherry cigerates from the casino below, all melted away becasue there were funny tall blue people fight a mech with a huge gun. oh and context we were in vagas cus it was cheaper to fly there then drive to callie, witch was were my eldest brother was having his wedding, i have 3 brothers. Also that slob segment, triggered me he's grosser then my uncle glen and thats sayin something had to skip that bit, cus i felt like pukein, that shit is vile, Good GOD.
as the one who edited a decent chunk of the wiki (mostly jjjs page and no I wasn't the one who made him trans I just never got rid of it) and kinda kick started the whole nonbinary Dora smarmy thing I feel very called out rn
OH MY GOSH IM SO GLAD THIS SHOW WAS REAL I ALMOST THOUGHT I WAS MAKING THIS UP. I loved this show as a kid and always wondered whatever happened to it and why I couldn't find it. I have very foggy memories of some of the segments, specifically Lens McCracken, Radio Scramble, Captain Bones, Haunted House Party, Dirty Pictures, and...unfortunately...Revolting Slob. I don't remember much of the games themselves, the parts that stuck in my head the most were the openings of the segments. I guess I just liked the visual style of all the games. Also, I always thought that the feather duster lady was the wife of the revolting slob? I don't know what tf my toddler brain was on to get to that conclusion. I'm both proud and incredibly dissapointed to be the only person in all of time and space to ship feather duster lady and revolting slob.
Holy shit I've been wondering what this show was for over a whole fucking decade. I saw it once at a hotel, never caught the name and never saw it again.
Finally, someone else who remembers this show! I remember walking into my brothers room and saw him and my sister watching this show when I was six. They were watching Crashbox and soon I asked them the name of the show and that’s basically how I discovered this show. I watched it for another 4 years but soon forgot about it. But then somehow I was sitting in my room and I just remembered it out of nowhere lol. Also I ranked all 18 of the segments, this is my opinion btw 18.10 2nds 17: poop or scoop 16:Paige and saige 15:Riddle snake 14:Dirty pictures 13:think tank 12:sketch pad 11:Eddie bull 10:Haunted house party 9:radio scramble 8:distraction news 7:lens Mckraken 6:captain bones 5:ear we are 4:word shake 3:psycho match 2:revolting slob (may be controversial) 1:mug shots
I did not know about the death of Lincoln being in the house until I saw this, along with Washington having Human Teeth versus Ivory Teeth (I read that somewhere)
Has anyone ever wondered why Eddie Bull never quit his job? Is his "job" his eternal hell? Is Eddie in purgatory? This is what I ask myself when I watch Crashbox.
I FINALLY FOUND THE SHOW. I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS AND I NEVER COULD REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS BUT I KNEW I WATCHED IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FEVER DREAM OR SOMETHING
holy crap i havent heard about this show since the early 2000s’ this show used to give me nightmares when i had to watch it alone in my babysitters house
The narrator lady isn’t standing off screen in the room with the slob, her voice is done more like a nature documentary, which is funny as hell. You said it’s like seeing a zoo exhibit. Very good take on this fun little show I still love to this day although you may be too young to know what a “nature docu “ is.
I vaguely remember my dad putting Crashbox on for me every now and again just to keep me entertained. It’s kinda vindicating to know that I didn’t just hallucinate the whole thing.
I’m here cus I was trynna remember a show that I know my kids would like. Also Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child came on around the same time, same channel. That’s the reason I was trynna recall this show
I remember, Crashbox, I spy, A little curious, kindergarten, Happily Ever After: Fairytales for Every Child. All of them shaped me as a child when my own crappy parents couldn’t😂😭.
What about Harold and the Purple Crayon?! I loved that show!
I loved a little curious!!! ❤❤
@@hbofamilyjamfanaticyou know Harold and the purple crayon has a movie coming out later this year. It has Harold played by the Shazaam guy.
Me too.
Yes I remember all of those
Fun fact the announcer for Poop or Scoop was the same person who voiced Luigi in Super Mario Bros Super Show
holy shit now that you mention it ur right
WHAT.
And also King Koopa, as well as Sam in Sam and Max Freelance Police.
Honestly the fact anyone else can comfirm this show wasn't a fever dream feels like a goddamn psychic 1000 true damage and +1000 to all stats at the same time
its like a soul spike in pokemon or whatever it does immense psychic and physical damage (a literal spike into the back/head) and then raises ur stats i think. Crazy shit
yeah. honestly i thought i this show up in my own head

Congrats on knowing this show existed lol One of my favorite shows as a kid. And a teen cause they played the reruns for years and years.
YOU REMEMBER THAT TOO??
@@crashboxsinofstars2865 Yes I do, mhm.
@@kirikat9365 YYESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
same
They still do! Every weekday morning twice a day, once at around 7 and at 10
Holy shit, crashbox. I loved this show as a kid, Haunted House Party was my favorite
Edit: I would also like to say that the Revolting Slob scared me as a kid. I’m still not fond of him
I always felt so grossed out and queasy when I saw him I’d have to go and wait for them to do something else🤮
Captain Bones is the drunk uncle that got stuck babysitting the kids.
I'm still pissed at Verity after she said the Sears building was the tallest building in the world and I lost.
Tbh I thought Eddie bull was a mouse. Which makes it a lot less weirder

Kind of sad they didn’t mention it as it is really interesting, but again, understandable, as I doubt most kids would know that information :(
This show left me traumatized as a child. I literally had sleep paralysis from that slob dude. I've been looking for this show for like 3 years.
Luckily, Captain Bob was able to use his magic submarine and went back to Jamaica.
This show creeped me out but fascinated me at the same time

1:25:00 I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS ONE THANK YOU! I knew this was a show I just always called it “the one with the broom guy and red ball”
Those recovered lost episodes sound sketchy af. It's awesome to know that the Canadian service Crave has the entirety of Crashbox to watch. Also between your delightful vocal fry and your cat, I'm now subscribed.
I vaguely remember waking up at 6 am when I was 8 and seeing this show for the first and last time and loved it. Tysm for piecing my memory together 😭
i distinctly remember radio scramble, specifically arrbywerst and nesinush
This video goes hard. Glad to see someone going into depth into an obscure part of my childhood.
This is an awesome video! I really enjoyed it and I had completely forgotten all about this show but found myself saying “oh go DI remember that!!” All throughout the video. I also really like your voice! You deserve so much more views

This is two years late, but my interpretation of this whole game was that Captain Bob was a souvenir shop figure. Stereotypical cartoon caricature of a place people would vacation, gimmicky function, small size. i’ve seen that exact clay material in the gift shop of the hawaiian zoo near hilo. i have a piggy bank made of it (it’s a giant fish with a fisherman next to it, with Fishing Fund written on it in bold, and if you’re wondering, i did get it from a gift shop.)
WOO CRASHBOX!
Personally I only had very small spouts of exposure of the show as a kid whenever Dish Network would be generous and share free samples of paid channels for a short while. I immediately switched onto HBO Family because I absolutely loved the stuff on there, and more so Crashbox because that show was hella chaotic, had many headscratchers, and I absolutely loved it! Glad to know I'm one of the 5 people that watched it lol
I am grateful for Crash Box’s existence, as looking back at it I can see it had an influence on my appeal to multi-media and surreal artstyles. I grew up in the early 2000’s and was surprised to learned the show only ran from 1999 to 2000 when I would have watched them many years later.

I've never been so hurt by a fictional person before.
I was there to See the re-runs as a kid and Like i watch this with my grandma.
My fav was radio scramble and mugshot (even tho I was scared of the mugshot intro) while my grandma loved think tank
You brought back a buried memory bringing up the Who Knew? Segments. I recall seeing them in between shows on HBO Family but not enough to give full details on the topics.
Found your channel today and I love your jokes!
1:23:18 It's a different Voice actor.
That intro reminded me of how i was the first avatar movie when i was a kid, i was smoshed between my brother and my sister on a hotel bed my mom and dad falling asleep well i staired at the tv my other brother asleep on the air mattress snoring, at like 3am the smell of cherry cigerates from the casino below, all melted away becasue there were funny tall blue people fight a mech with a huge gun. oh and context we were in vagas cus it was cheaper to fly there then drive to callie, witch was were my eldest brother was having his wedding, i have 3 brothers.
Also that slob segment, triggered me he's grosser then my uncle glen and thats sayin something had to skip that bit, cus i felt like pukein, that shit is vile, Good GOD.
as the one who edited a decent chunk of the wiki (mostly jjjs page and no I wasn't the one who made him trans I just never got rid of it) and kinda kick started the whole nonbinary Dora smarmy thing I feel very called out rn
OH MY GOSH IM SO GLAD THIS SHOW WAS REAL I ALMOST THOUGHT I WAS MAKING THIS UP. I loved this show as a kid and always wondered whatever happened to it and why I couldn't find it. I have very foggy memories of some of the segments, specifically Lens McCracken, Radio Scramble, Captain Bones, Haunted House Party, Dirty Pictures, and...unfortunately...Revolting Slob. I don't remember much of the games themselves, the parts that stuck in my head the most were the openings of the segments. I guess I just liked the visual style of all the games. Also, I always thought that the feather duster lady was the wife of the revolting slob? I don't know what tf my toddler brain was on to get to that conclusion. I'm both proud and incredibly dissapointed to be the only person in all of time and space to ship feather duster lady and revolting slob.
When I was a kid, I thought Revolting Slob's name was Buffet Slob. No idea why. I was a preschooler.
Holy shit I've been wondering what this show was for over a whole fucking decade. I saw it once at a hotel, never caught the name and never saw it again.
41:05 also, let’s not forget that it has a BANGER soundtrack, plus the aesthetic is AWESOME!
42:00 yeah, because it’s called *Psycho* Math
Finally, someone else who remembers this show! I remember walking into my brothers room and saw him and my sister watching this show when I was six. They were watching Crashbox and soon I asked them the name of the show and that’s basically how I
discovered this show. I watched it for another 4 years but soon forgot about it. But then somehow I was sitting in my room and I just remembered it out of nowhere lol.
Also I ranked all 18 of the segments, this is my opinion btw
18.10 2nds
17: poop or scoop
16:Paige and saige
15:Riddle snake
14:Dirty pictures
13:think tank
12:sketch pad
11:Eddie bull
10:Haunted house party
9:radio scramble
8:distraction news
7:lens Mckraken
6:captain bones
5:ear we are
4:word shake
3:psycho match
2:revolting slob (may be controversial)
1:mug shots
I did not know about the death of Lincoln being in the house until I saw this, along with Washington having Human Teeth versus Ivory Teeth (I read that somewhere)
Has anyone ever wondered why Eddie Bull never quit his job? Is his "job" his eternal hell? Is Eddie in purgatory? This is what I ask myself when I watch Crashbox.
omg the lens mccracken segment was so funny
I FINALLY FOUND THE SHOW. I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS AND I NEVER COULD REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS BUT I KNEW I WATCHED IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FEVER DREAM OR SOMETHING
I remember every single time Revolting Slob came on, i would run and hide because he scared the shit out of me. I fucking loved Crashbox so much.
I thought Eddie was an actual bull
WOW YOU GENUINLEY UNLOCKED SOME SECRET MEMORIES IN MY MIND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
you are so AWESOME for this . i loved crasHBOx so much 😭 it’s so hard finding ppl who remember this show😭
I can hardly believe this was real, I never watched much tv as a kid but this would've haunted me for sure
i saw it when i was fing 4
My all time favorite games from Crashbox will always be Ear We Are, Word Shake and especially Poop Or Scoop!
HOLY SHIT CRASHBOX!!! I REMEMBER THIS!! YESSS!!!
MY FAVORITE WAS SKETCH!!! OMG IT WAS AAMZING
Wow i rly missed this show ty for the breakdown
mugshot's characters are just ace attorney's most normal witnesses
I remember, absolutely being terrified of revolting slob as a kid, because my dad would show that on Cox on demand, and I would cower in my bedsheet
holy crap i havent heard about this show since the early 2000s’ this show used to give me nightmares when i had to watch it alone in my babysitters house
Goddammit you unlocked a deep seated childhood memory id supressed
The narrator lady isn’t standing off screen in the room with the slob, her voice is done more like a nature documentary, which is funny as hell. You said it’s like seeing a zoo exhibit. Very good take on this fun little show I still love to this day although you may be too young to know what a “nature docu “ is.
The Revolting Slob gave me nightmares for 7 years straight. I was so scared of him my dad had to cover my eyes.
God, I remember cheering when Psycho Math came on lmaoo
I've been trying to find this show for years and probably sounded crazy when I explained it to my siblings. I'm so glad that it was actually a thing
I vaguely remember my dad putting Crashbox on for me every now and again just to keep me entertained. It’s kinda vindicating to know that I didn’t just hallucinate the whole thing.
1:36 I can indeed say it was entirely bananas! It’s insane!
I liked this back in the day.
FINALLY SOMEBODY MADE A VID ABOUT THIS
Im an 07 but i have a very good memory. When i was super little i would watch this shit and it would freak me to death
@@jakew3495 haha i watched this since i was 7, on hbo family one day.
when jack stauber’s Opal released on adult swim, the grandpa unlocked my memory of the revolting slob. i was Not Happy about that.
One of the best children's educational shows ever, it engages all kids of every age!
This is underrated
I forgot about the dude living in filth until now that made me super uncomfortable as kid
I blame Revolting Slob for guiding me to shock sites at 9 years old
I had a Eureka moment when you were talking about CrashBox. I have a strong feeling that BoxMan from Ok K.O is based on CrashBox.
I’m here cus I was trynna remember a show that I know my kids would like. Also Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child came on around the same time, same channel. That’s the reason I was trynna recall this show
