>this old man>He played one>He played knick knack on my thumbWhat the actual fuck? Would kids even realize what's really going on here?
>>144296071TJ went insane, that's the joke
>whoa this kids cartoon is so dark and creepy
>>144296155Stfu faggot.This is about the kids themselves understanding it
i did
>>144296071I did, rocking back and forth singing to yourself is the universal "im insane" symbol in cartoons
>>144296071>>He played knick knackWhat did that even mean? Looking it up didn't give me a clue.
>>144296182Do you spend a lot of time thinking about kids? Let's talk about that, anon.
>>144296182when was the last time you went outside?
>>144296239There was a little toy that played an LED video of This Old Man. It potrayed Knick Knack as patting your knee with both hands.
>>144296239its a nursery rhyme, idk
>>144296258>Knick-Knack>To drum>Paddy-wack >Back of the neck>Give a dog a bone>Being kind?????
>>144296323How old are you
>>144296071Do you think the creators secretly hated him? I mean, look the kind of fate they give him as an adult.
>>144296351Did what you just posted actually involve the original creators at all?
>>144296351You can still peak in childhood and be a successful adult, I think that's the angle they are going for. Money, while nice and important, is not literally everything and an empty mansion is a good lesson. You should want a mansion filled with friends and family, you know stuff that actually matters.
>>144296351Not really, since he's a millionaire in early retirement. Apparently, a lot of IRL school teachers hated Recess when it first aired, because of how villainized the faculty was. That's probably why they softened Prickly & Finster later on. >>144296389Yes. It's part of their pitch bible.
>>144296351any chance of posting the entire thing? I missed the drop and the old mega is dead..
>>144296071Basically the kid-friendly version of "the cooler" in POW movies like The Great Escape.
>>144296849Anon, I...
>>144296829The fate of the old gang
>>144297040>2022 into the trash it goes, none of this is made in good faith or as anything more than political moralfagging
>>144296338Not 200 years old
>>144296351>>144296953>>144297040pandering to (((current thing))) in spite of your original ideals >>144296849 for DEIbux makes me glad when these projects never see the light of day
>>144297207Some say this reboot is not cancelled yet, hence why the leaked pitch bible was claimed by disney.
>>144296953
>>144297256Good luck getting it off the ground. They are too busy waiting for Swampy to restart Phineas and Ferb.
>>144297256>hence why the leaked pitch bible was claimed by disney.Because it's still solicited to their IP you retarded ape
>>144296071I remember I did.
>>144296351>they turned Gus into a trannyglad this wasn't picked up
>>144296351cartoon show creators have learned nothing from All Grown Up
>>144297040Huh. A bunch of stuff here that I'm not into (mainly Gus and sorta Ruby), but I can see the vision. And yeah I surprisingly do like what was pitched for TJ, as undeserved as it might be for him>Sadly, when the guys finally do track down their old friend, they discover that Mikey caught a mysterious illness a couple years back, and died amidst his adoring followers.Wow this is 100% a reference to Mikey's original VA dying, right? Remember reading an article about that a few years back.King Bob better be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in this timeline
What a garbage fucking board.
>>144298640King Bob probably will be turned into a crazy hobo who acts like king of sewers of something like that.
>>144296953>italian women getting BLACKEDthis is the weird part
>>144297040>gus becomes transLEL
>>144296351This is totally in character for him
>>144296351What happens to Spinelli?
>>144296351>Did the characters hate him?>Made him a super successful and mega rich inventorWhat the fuck do they have to do to like him? Just because his childhood crush wasn't sucking his dick doesn't mean they hate him.
>>144296351There was an entire episode of how he became a millionaire on the playground by monopolizing pokemon cards. Him becoming an irl billionaire is not surprising at all.
>>1443013781 word, my friend B L A C K E D !

>>144297604Cute!

>>144296467they loved grotke though
>>144296351>successful millionaire in his early twentiesseems like he is doing fine
>>144301458Why were Spinelli episodes the best?>finding out she's an Ashley>entering the beauty pageant and winning>the chalk mural>Weekend at Muriel's
>>144297040>Vince cucks TJfuck that sounds awful>Mikey dies off screen in random sicknessseven more fuck>Gus panderingly transitionsthats just cliche and onbnoxiouusly pandering at this point

>>144297040anyone copy the actual text for everyone else except >>144296351 it’s blurry as fuck even enlarged it was hard to make a lot of it out.I shipped tj and Gretchen as a kid so them getting together would be based
>>144298652Garbage fucking internet thoughever
>>144296252you don't.. actually GO outside, do you
>>144303394where else can you see two homeless guys going down on each other BUT the bus station?
>>144296071Panic attack?
>>144302450Just don't be a phonefag.
>>144296071There's no ambiguity, dummy.The ENTIRE plot of the episode is the box is meant to "break" the children. It's very clear that TJ has been mentally broken by the illusion that he's trapped in the box. The illusion is made clear when a ball rolls into the box, and he then puts a foot outside the box.Are you retarded? Do you not understand a the complexities of children's show?
>>144301544Unlike the Mikey episodes where people had to bend over backwards to make him feel good despite being such a fucking faggot, Spinelli episodes are her getting her negative outlooks and presuppositions proven wrong. The second-best Spinelli is the Parents' Night episode when she tries to get biker thugs to pretend to be her parents specifically because she gets slapped with reality. She doesn't have to change who she is, and no one coddles her for messing up. It's the same with Muriel's episode, where her assumptions get proven wrong, but it doesn't change who she is at her core.
>>144301458UUUOOOOOOOOHHHHH
>>144296953Better he get one Spinelli than none at allhttps://files.catbox.moe/wikerb.png
>>144304910Hey, wait a minute...!
>>144296351>>144296953Does Disney have a strange obsession with cucking beloved childhood MC's and their waifus getting blacked?Between this and what happened to Gadget. I know Zipper's a fly but he had a jive black voice
>>144305116
>>144296239"Knick Knack Paddy Whack" is tricky to puzzle out the *exact* meaning because it's been too fucking long and nobody seems to have bothered to record the context but there's two versions essentially based on different contexts. One, reconstructionist, is it's a child getting into some kind of altercation with an irishman and someone being grievously injured. There's a degree of wordplay going on we do know about, a Paddywhack was both a specific part of the body butchers often gave to their dogs as a treat, hence "give a dog a bone" but also refered to an irishman who was seen as being drunk and spoiling for a fight, while Knickknack refered to both a common drinking game, like a less lethal kind of playing finger dance, similar to the african american practice of the Patting Juba dance [possibly for similar reasons, Ireland has a history of the English doing looneytunes shit like banning dancing, a drinking game isn't "dancing" it's a game of speed and coordination, obviously] that you probably know as Hamboning ala Regular Show. But it's also a term for kids being assholes and playing "knickknack", IE Ding Dong Ditch just without doorbells basically. Rolling homeBest guess we have is either the kid did something stupid and got his ass beat, his dad's ass beat, or a somewhat less young kid picked a fight with an old man and beat him until he was "rolling home".Alternatively, during the famine, the number of Irish beggers increased and it may refer to them, the game was called "knickknack" in part due to that being the song who's tune you were trying to "play" and could be done on just about any surface, and was simple. Beggers would try to sell junk or perform for money and food [hence "give a dog a bone"] and Knickknack was a common song [this is the origin of calling random junk knickknacks IIRC] while rolling home could refer either to the Irish gypsies who's numbers grew during the famine or the man being an invalid.
>>144304910When you're the president, you can get away with anything.
>>144296071If anyone deserved the box it was Mikey ...
>>144305489thank you anon, this was... bizarre but surprisingly informative for something I'd never actually thought about before
>>144296351>is charming, successful and rich>the series was supposed to show him improve as a person and eventually go back to being like his older self>this means the writers hate himDo you people have any reading comprehension skills at all?
>>144296351I'm glad this never happened. This goes over the line. >>144305658Even if things get better for him they went too far with how his life ended up. The Spinelli thing is particularly weird. I'm not saying kids end up with their childhood crushes but it feels weird to have her end up with fucking Vince of all characters.
>>144305549tender
>>144305763>it feels weird to have her end up with fucking Vince of all characters.I'm telling you some people at Disney have a cucking/blacked fetish.
>>144296953What the actual F???
>>144305611A lot of these old nursery rhymes are randomly about fucked up or political shit for whatever reason. Ring Around the Rosie is about the Black Death and burning corpses for example as an easy, well known case of this.
>>144305836And then their daughter is the one that helps turn TJ's life around. And he confessed to Spinelli as an adult and she rejected him. And she ends up with his best friend who showed no interest in her romantically during the cartoon's original run. And remember this is the sequel to a cartoon about Recess. It's ... very odd. What gets me about these situations is I wouldn't be so suspicious if so many little strange things didn't add up.
>>144296071>He didn't give the frog a loan
>>144305489the Irish subject connection is very unlikely; the earliest written sources are in English dialects which place it very squarely outside of London or Liverpool, where the majority of Irish immigration to England in the 19th century took place; and the earliest written title is "Jack Jintle", the subject singing the song, who obviously doesn't have an Irish-soundalike name ("Jintle" is likely a variant spelling of "gentle"; Jack is just Jack - this is a gentle every-day man you might meet, introducing himself, again making it unlikely to be a cautionary tale about immigrants, who at that time weren't even immigrants - they were just from another part of the UK)interestingly the earliest versions recorded were collected in Manchester - but the dialect in use is not Mancunian or even Lancashire/Cheshire; it may have been popularized in music hall explaining the 1800s boom or this may be a simple artifact of the Roud index itself lacking earlier printed sources, but there's a strong likelihood that this is an older traditional song, given its primary purpose survives as a counting song even when (as in Pop Maynard's version) a wildcard title is inserted, probably due to a misheard or misremembered lyriclike many folk songs and tales, there's not likely to have been any person who was originally the subject, and the sounds in this case - given that this is a song for singing to children and needs to engage them - are just silly noises to complete the round, nonsense lyrics interspersed with the learning element>>144305944>Ring Around the Rosie is about the Black Deaththis is categorically untrue; the explanation simply became "common knowledge" in the mid 20thC, and is totally unsupported even by the evidence within the song (the symptoms are not those of plague, and the lyrics are not original) let alone the physical dance associated with the rhyme just a load of made up shit, i'm afraid; 18thC French and German versions don't match plague either
>>144297040>>144296953>didn't get green lit there's still a god
>>144296071I did
>>144296071Yeah quite easily, they showed it from TJ’s point of view even incase you ere too dense to figure it out.
>>144305763IKR?They seem to have nothing in common.
>>144296953WHY are you black
>>144311220Do you know who her father is?
