cartoons

Just in case you missed it, Rick and Morty Season 3 episode 1 (see 13 memes that celebrated the grand event here) kind of dropped for April Fool's Day a little while back ago, simultaneously rocking our worlds; and actually inspiring a talented chef to create the show's infamous Szechuan Sauce. Still trying to try that on any and every food ASAP. Anyways, this mod is too much to handle right now. See for yourself. 

Chika chika chika bop paaaaaa

Oh, sorry, I was just typing out the theme from the classic Nicktoon Doug. Remember Doug? It was that show about a boring middle schooler, which was somehow really compelling. 

Well, one of the things that gave that show its charms was the sound effects. From the scatty theme song to all those nasally characters, Doug was just as well known for its sound as its look. 

Great Big Story sat down with the man behind it all. Fred Newman is a voice over artist who made all those sounds with his mouth. He asl odid voices for Harry and the Hndersons, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and, everybody's favorite movie, Gremlins.

So if you ever watched Doug and wanted to know how all those sounds were made, this is the video for you. 

Hey, it's Saturday morning, and what better way to waste the day than spending 10 minutes thinking about your childhood. After all, you can never get your childhood back, so you might as well think about how great it was not having responsibilities and getting to watch Batman nearly kill some dudes.

This should be a nostalgia trip for many of you, a time when they played cartoons on Saturday mornings only because that was the law. Just kidding. It was just because they didn't know that they could advertise effectively to children yet. Yay!
