That's probably one of many reasons why Arthur Filloy, the animation director for Mr Big Cartoons, gets an upfront credit. He's one of only two animation directors for the show to get one!
@UC9Iy3hPaItQWI5HFGwTRogg As animation director, Filloy is at least partially responsible for influencing and tutoring the animator who did that. In an interview with Thad Komorowski, Filloy not only supervised the animation on most of the cartoons sent to Mr. Big, but also timed the exposure sheets and drew and redrew most of the layouts.
Oh yes. Usually the Australia-animated episodes like this look pretty wonky, but this is a rare example of really good animation from Mr. Big Cartoons on this show.
@@xXSpongeBroBrownPantzXx No, it's referencing how the famous pianist Liberace often said "I wish my brother George was here." Liberoache in this episode is a parody of Liberace.
Joey Beetle = Joey Bishop Dean Mayfly = Dean Martin Peter Locust = Peter Lawford Liberace = Liberoachy Jerry Lewis = I guess Jerry LeWasp I guess they didn't wanted to include a bug version of Frank Sinatra since they already parodied him as SNOTRA in an older episode.
This really fucks with my head. But I can't stop watching it. It's...other worldly, deeply disturbing, violent, troubling...I can't wait till the sun comes up now.
If I saw Sammy,I'd just stay for his singing & then escape without him noticing.He may have the voice of an angel,but I'm totally not letting him bite MY head off.
@The Woeful Room, Tom Kenny did voice Scaramouche, but not Sammy Mantis. Tommy Davidson, who's known for doing a spot-on Sammy Davis Jr. impersonation, voiced Sammy Mantis.
I JUST LOVE this cartoon series! ALL of the parodies are SPOT ON. This had such grossness that I couldn't get enough! It made my Sunday mornings bearable.
It is absolutely charming! Just goes to show that as much as people rag on the Games Era, you can still find plenty of gems like this. A perfect ending to the original run (along with “The Last Temptation).
wileyk209zback it for their parents silly! The characters at the party were all 70’s performers... Jerry Lewis, and Mantis Man was Sammy Davis Jr!!! It’s just silliness with a dark twist!!!!
@@funkyweapon1981 None of the people parodied here were working in the 30's or 40's. Check out the Dean Martin roasts, they were all super popular in the 70's.
I don’t remember watching this specific ep of Ren and Stimpy as a kid but its 2021 and i find myself singing “THE MANTIS MAN CAN THE MANTIS MAN CAAAAAAN” while im at work ever since i saw this
I’ve seen a version of this on Twitter that just trims this to where Sammy grabs Liberoachie and bites his head off. No context given. It made the scene tons more disturbing. It made me think that Sammy was a mutated Ren, going around just eating people’s heads off. Never saw this episode till now. Knowing the fact that Liberoachie asked for it to happen made it just a tad less disturbing.
I grew up watching Ren & Stimpy, and I have NEVER seen an episode where this happened. And I am glad because, even though the cartoon has always been weird and slightly disturbing (which is why I loved it), that scene where Sammy bites off that guy's head while he's screaming would have given me nightmares. That would have been way too disturbing for me to watch as a child. As a matter of fact, I thought that whatever episode this disturbing scene is in came from the Adult version on Spike TV, but people are saying that they remember watching the episode with this scene in it as a child. I would have thought that Nickelodeon would have cut this part out. I can't imagine the Nick execs approving of this scene on a children's channel. And only the female mantis bite off heads.
It's clear to me now that I'm older that each Ren And Stimpy episode takes place in different parallel universes where either Ren, Stimpy, or both face death or a life-long change that doesn't continue in other episodes because they're different. It explains why Wilbur Cobb looks slightly different in some episodes or why Ren and Stimpy have lived in so many houses; because they're not the same dynamic duo we've seen for all the seasons. It explains why Mr. and Mrs. Pipe have two babies in one episode but then in another, they're just a couple who live in an RV. Does anyone else notice how impossible that would be if we were just watching one timeline?

as much as i admire this show (along with bill wray's work on it, since he directed this one), to me its so weird they went for a whole ep making fun of celebrities from the 60s kids from the 90s wouldn't have the slightest notion of. let alone why going for sammy davis jr of all people, turning his cheeky candy man song into a song about eating brains. like, why? just shock value?

this cartoon is rather disturbing and funny.
its a games episode. They pushed the weird kind of absurd characters a lot more. some of them downright sucked but this was all right

+Emma Gottlieb, he only bites off people's heads when they give him consent. You wouldn't have to worry. Just don't ask him to do it.
Besides, don't most insects regrow their heads or limbs
Head, no, limbs, depends on a lot of factors, basically a dice roll on that one in even the best of circumstances.

Correct.

Pardon me.
Cannibal moment

Funny enough, female mantises do this in real life to males. I think Sammy was smart to stay single

See, kids, Sammy Davis Jr. had a glass eye because he lost his eye in a accident.
Liberoachie sure plays the piano like Liberace
Recorded from Nick in 1998 of the episode "Sammy & Me"
This made no sense to me as a kid. Now that I'm an adult, and I know who Sammy Davis Jr is, this scene makes even less sense.
I remember watching this episode as a kid. It was disturbing, not funny. But I still like the ren and Stimpy show.
“Weren’t you at my signing, man?” lol
People say Games Animation episodes weren’t as good as the Spumco episodes. I beg to differ.
Depends on the episodes you watch. The good episodes are just as good. The only difference games era has is that it has more ok and bad episodes.
1:41 When the stars go away
WTF! Bruh, this is actual nightmare fuel. It's entertaining now as an adult. But this would've been deeply disturbing to me as a kid.
Now you're agreeing to the fact that this should be banned.
It sounds like Dean calls Joey, Jerry. After Sammy sings. "Aw Shut up Jerry."
Cartoon depiction of Dream and his fans
This sounds like the kind of song that Dahmer might enjoy.
How'd they let us watch this as little kids?
