How TV Fucks children up...

I'm on you tube searching for old cartoons from my childhood cause that's what it's for. Now when I was little I watched an insane amount of cartoons and fantasy movies. So much so that sometimes I think that some of them might just be vivid dreams that I had and remember. I remember bits and pieces of them but in some cases don't remember names of programs. Which leads me to question sometimes whether or not they truly existed.

Case in point I have vivid memories of a show that is much like Rob Zombies art (see Beavis and Butthead do America trip out scene) I remember it was on MTV but that's about it. Many of the images I remember as vividly disturbing and scary but I watched and loved it anyway. Yet no one I describe this show to seems to remember it. This is the day that I found out that this cartoon wasn't a figment of my imagination, Ladies and Gentleman:
The Brothers Grunt:


Can you imagine a 11 year old watching that this day and age. I watched this clip and I felt sick. Yes, this shit still disturbs me to this day but I watched every episode.

I had a nightmare last night that I have had pretty often during my life. I know it stems from the movie Darby O'gill and the Little people. From the scene where he meets the banshee. I woke up thinking oh, that image is 50 years old it couldn't be as scary now as I thought it was, I was wrong:



It's kind of insane for me to think now that this is the stuff that I subjected myself to when I was a kid and more so that I actually took to loving it. I can remember after I saw the movie Darby O'gill I check out all the irish folklore books in my library and read a book called Wait til helen comes where a young girls sister sees a ghost. And Brothers Grunt made me want to watch Heavy Metal and then Wizard. Such disturbing images shaped my personality, in the 90's I now understand why parents at the time were so pissed off by it. But now these images are such a deep part of my psyche, ha, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

There are a few other shows that I have in my head that I swear up and down are real I'll post them if I find them.
