I guess the real reason he didn't like Ben 10 and Avatar was because the main characters were fully clothed.
DAMN! LMAO THAT'S SAVAGE!
OMG THAT'S A VERY SPICY LINE
He doesn't like Ben 10 and Avatar?
@Layne Krusz Okay...
avatar is such a stellar fucking series man
I'd have to disagree with one point, I don't think the surplus of pedos in the animation industry is because they themselves are 'childish' and thus have an affinity to children. Rather that, much like teachers, a predator will chose to take up positions that give them power and easy access to their victims.
It's always soul destroying to find out something you love was made by someone so evil, and I hope his' victims are doing better now that they're away from this creep.
Rabbit Guts I strongly agree with you!
I guess it's possible that someone would become an animator in order to gain the access and power to assault children, but what makes me doubt that as a common occurrence is that so many animators got their start when they were children themselves. Chuck Jones, for instance, was drawing cartoons in elementary school. It's a treacherous, practically-unpaid, lifelong pursuit that requires true passion for one's work. If you're an accountant, for instance, you can't just say "I wanna diddle kids, so I'm going to apply for this animator job".
@@patbuttramssuperfan exactly. I find it very odd that she claimed that there isn't much pedophilia in Hollywood when its absolutely rampant with almost every child star that was ever on a set. Also Dan Schneider wasn't an animator.
But hey its her opinion and she's allowed to have it. I just strongly disagree with some aspects of it
The thing is pedophiles are everywhere and in all jobs but we often hear about animators, teachers, movie producers/directors because they have more opportunities and get caught more often as a result. Liking cartoons and being a pedophile have zero actual connection it's just correlation not causation.
@@backwardsbandit8094 they are famous so of course it makes the news, the average computer programmer pedo doesn't get on the news so you don't hear about it as often. Pedos are everywhere and guess what? Most kids are abused by someone they know really well like family or family friends that are nobodies.
3:26: Weird thing is, one of Kricfalusi's female victims is now working on the 2020 Animaniacs reboot. Maybe this is what is called "payback" and "sweet revenge"?
OH NO
*nice*
Kek
i saw here drawings of the warner siblings and there so cute
What's the artists name? I wanna see her work!
it's interesting how how john k hated animaniacs, but katie rice directed some of the episodes of the recent reboot
hope she's in the better place right now, robyn too
That's good to hear.
Can't say I mad and/or surprised I am pretty disappointed and did john k really had to trash animaniacs ? As someone who grow up watching animaniacs that's really uncalled for I still do ren and stumpy but not John k himself to I was willing to give him a second chance yare yare daze. 😤😤😤😤😤
@daniel strong I imagine that’s her way of getting back at him.
It's called "revenge."
Robyn is kinda unbearable too
How many times will people use ADHD as a gotcha for being a disgusting person. ADHD doesn’t make me touch kids, it makes me unable to stop focusing on a video game and to go to sleep.
@azfadel They also pilfer your hard-earned tax money for simply existing.
@azfadel Mental health is a burden to the taxpayer. I can use people such as Chris-Chan, but that's a low-ball, weak example.
@@DR3ADER1 man, screw off
@Cyrsclin Because I can? Freedom of Information is a wonderful thing.
@@neonflights5951 Lol no.
"Shes underage too" that line made me sick
I think he just liked controversy.
M Ma 🤮
That alone proves he has a weird thing for girls and NOBODY noticed or cared.
@@Sputterbug
I fixed it. My apologies
🤮
“Kricfalusi would tell [Rice] he was jealous of the boys she liked back in high school.”
A 40+ year-old man, everyone! Stunted development if I ever saw it!
Like how this dude called anime “gay” but also draws basically hentai
Eugene
It's more akin to Rule 34 (though I'm pretty sure Rule 34 has rules against what he does, I'm not comparing the two), but I agree. He's calling the kettle black.
Anime is gay bro
But what about European?
He was right on that. Anime is gay. Only hermit “depressed” kids watch that garbage.
@@WestOfLee100 what country is that?
The way he criticized other shows, he seems like a jealous narcissist.
J. J. Burns Yeah, John K is so full of himself. I mean really, making fun of other creators animation styles based on their appearance alone is so childish. I can't believe he hasn't even given them a watch and yet he judges their value based on looks alone, what the heck!! Who does that!!?
@@patbuttramssuperfan you imply that he could even comprehend ANY kind of animated story that isnt 'he he funni xD'
Hes one of THOSE animators who think animation should be about one thing and one thing alone, whatever they think it should be.
maybe because he is a narc...
He's is a narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. Every last one of his actions, reflect this.
Isn’t he the one who first used the term “Calarts style” for “criticizing” modern cartoon designs?
Chris Hansen would have a field day in Nickelodeon.
Won't be nearly enough seats
@@SaiOkami777 *rents out a concert hall* Take yout seats
@@cheezburgrproduction 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Lord... that’s horrible.
He already has you know right?
I had a discussion with Bob Camp a few years ago. His hatred of John K. was very apparent. If you even mention the guy, the stream of profanity that comes out of Bob’s mouth will shock you.
I’m jealous that you got to speak with Bob Camp ._.
@@LchanOtakudom I have some great pictures of us.
@@goldsmith1210 That’s so cool!
Good. Everyone should feel that way about him.
I don’t blame Bob.
My question is: WHY ISN'T HE IN JAIL
@Señor Everything
The fame to blame ratio. The more talented you are, the more chances of you getting away from a crime.
cuz he's got money and power
The other comments here neglected to give you an actual legal answer, so I'll give you it. There is a stature of limitations on the sexual abuse of minors, a measly 8 years after they turn 18. So if your a predator and your victim doesn't talk until they're in their 20s, then you basically get off scott free.
@@rcroller1972 that's awful
That's my question 2
John K is a huge charmer. And that's the scariest thing about it. I fortunately stopped talking to him after talking with Katie Rice since K was wanting me to work in his new supposed studio in Florida. I never applied to it but he sent me dms in Twitter after he saw my Ren sketches. He kept insisting on meeting irl to start training me. We only went as far as a phone call but I never did the meeting with him.
He still has supporters, and that's even sadder.
Don't work in the Pedo Animation Industry in Pedowood, Commifornia.
Smart move. Dodged a bullet with not meeting with the dude
Wow, that sounds harrowing. You are indeed very lucky to have gotten out when you did. But I wouldn’t worry about his supporters. They are far and few between and as long as we don’t empower them, his power and entitlement will rightfully die out.
Thank god you didn't get more involved in it
madden8021 “Commifornia?” What?
"Point 2: Pedophilia" Well that escalated quickly.
*Ephebophilia
MrParkerman6
That term is seldom used, so even if the child is actually a teen, it is still called pedophilia
Doot doot
@@MrParkerman6 the meaning of words can changed and pretty much has by this point
@@delunimbus I mean, does it really matter? All this talk of what word to use seems to not really be an issue. The person is still fucking a minor.
I interviewed for JK for a composing spot in 1987 (ish) PRIOR to his success. When he found out I worked for Disney & Hanna-Barbera etc, he began an incoherent rant. As he was screaming toward a window and looking away from me, I walked out. Not realizing that I had left, he continued to scream. People told me later that he was pissed that I split while he was "talking" to me.
That guy has problems
That's John K for ya!
That is such a power move on your end. Just up and left, I love that 😂
You made the right choice kid...
So you’re telling me that the 16 year olds parents thought it was normal for their daughter to date a man 2-3 times her age?
Or, they trusted the guy since he was the boss and there's still a mindset that "Bosses at workplaces are trustworthy." and they thought he was taking her for business-related crap.
That's the power of having a charming personality I suppose. It plays tricks on people and almost has a hypnotizing effect.
He preyed on people who’s parents probably didn’t care or know, like Robin said her dad was an alcoholic
@@turnip8749 true, it’s still messed up what he did sadly
I agree, even the girls and the parents are wrong and should be accused.
*”Katie is the princess of sexy girl artists”* has to be one of the grossest lines I heard in this video
I literally cringed at that.
Yeah the way he said that I think we all knew how he meant it...also nice avatar pic...Type O Negative is my favorite band and it sucks Pete isn’t around anymore
He sounds like Richard Heene if Richard Heene happened to lock boys in balloons instead of losing them.
How do you think she felt? Look at her, she looks terrified. She looks like she’s crying for help
The fact that it was even put on DVD and distributed commercially without anyone taking issue with it is just mind-boggling.
If the Howard Stern audio doesn’t work, try turning off Mono Audio.
We're working on a few more documentaries at the moment, more so than lists. One involving a good ol' Cartoon Network show, Disney, and of course Lost Media. Anyways, hope you enjoy this video on John K! If I die in the next few days, its probably because Viacom has probably had enough of my shit
Are you going to do more John K videos? This dude is a whole can of worms
Just try to whatever you people can do on this website
I’m sure all of them will be great Jorge
Great job on this one by the way
I knew there was something fucked up about this guy
The good old days, when social media wasn't popular so this kinds of news/events were not spread out. Thanks to you I learned more.
John K hates "Animaniacs" huh?
Well here's some salt, lemon, and thermometer mercury for those wounds (thumbs up if you get the reference): Katie Rice, one of John K's "special girls" is now working on the Animaniacs reboot.
Oh, yeah! Ata girl!
Good for her. :)
Revenge is a dish best served... I can’t think of anything clever to replace cold... can you give me a hand?
@@tlebron8426 gay
@Nigel Stoney gay
I would like to point out that John Kricfalusi's lawyer confirmed that John had a 16 year old girlfriend in California... The age of consent in California is 18 and over.
In some places the age of consent is 16, I think in the UK it is, but he lived in California at the time so there's no excuse.
@@Treeeee2008 It is legal at 16 in Britain and in some states, but not California where it took place.
But California has a statute of limitations on these crimes. If it has expired, it means he cannot be tried for his mistreatment of women.
@@TheVodkaHaze Well, isn't that dandy. Another pedo in the Californian industry gets to abuse another day.
@@MariusWales Considering the man's infamous reputation, and the fact that he's been blacklisted from the industry as a whole, I hope we don't have to worry about John K. grooming more girls, since that could lead to actual jail for this scumbag.
John K: "She's underage too"
There he is officer, that man over there
The normalization of pedophilia has been around forever. I think we have to remind ourselves why it’s wrong.
I like it
Both Stern and Robin laugh !!

Has he no class
Animaniacs was my favorite cartoon
Hay Warner Brothers
Try & keep Dot away from Pedo's
if you watched the video he stated that john never actually watched anamaniacs
@@zwebackshyper9307
We Know
Right because everyone knows that if you have ADHD you must like fast paced stuff for the sake of being fast paced, otherwise you're faking it.
@@MASJYT not necessarily just because it’s fast paced, but more because it’s humor can keep up with my attention span. I’m sorry if I offended you and I won’t question whether or not you have ADHD.
This has nothing to do with being "childish or childlike" childs doesent think on sex.
This is a thing of POWER
?
why does this incoherent comment have 200 likes
@@angel-ck8hn she mentioned at the end of the video that animators seem more prone to being child predators and attributed this to them liking cartoons and having a childlike mentality
Yeah but that's bs. I know where she's coming from, but let's face it. The p3d0 problem has been integrated in tons of other industries since forever. From games to Hollywood, it's just a thing that people are just finally starting to realize.
lots of kids that have unfortunately been through stuff think about sex. maybe think a little bit more before u speak
"My ADHD got me so unfocused that I forgot to not prey on kids." -John K., probably.
Ah yes, Because Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder makes you prey on kids, totally doesn’t make you stop focusing, fidget, And talk a lot- Definitely not
y'know, a common mistake
“Darn that ADHD, I always forget that I preyed on underage girls”
My ADHD is cringing
Nice to know that people are now using this as an excuse for depravity.
"She's underage too"
*I have several questions*
Me: "Alright that's it, Mr. Kricfalusi! In this interrogation, there are no good cops AT ALL! I AM THE BAD COP! (beats up John K. with a night stick) WHAT DID YOU DO TO THOSE GIRLS AT THE STUDIO?! DO I HAVE TO RESORT TO TORTURE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN CONFESS?!"
herby the elf
You can put “she’s underage too” into any sentence and it would sound wrong
Okay JonTron
@@thezackster7069 "I saw a puppy at the pet store. She's underage too."
Okay that did make it sound wrong!
Mr Mary
"Making comments about preying on minors is a joke", was really a defense a professional lawyer thought would work?
This is why you shouldn't get lawyers for every crime, there are some things that even professional lawyers can't defend.
@@Treeeee2008 I agree. Make him defend himself.
This is the same man who also thought that using ADHD as an excuse his predatory behavior was a smart idea.
“The mass shooter is innocent, your honor. It’s just dark humor, your normie mentality wouldn’t get it”
The lawyer must've had a hefty uphill battle if that was the best defense they could come up with.
I don’t speak for all people with ADHD, but for me the worst thing that ADHD does for me is be loud and prevent me from focusing. Never have I EVER thought about doing anything awful like this.
Same bro I have ADHD and this is straight up wrong
Same
Sometimes I forget to eat because I’m too focused on something else. Or I get pissed off when stressed and say things I don’t mean. I don’t think about doing awful things like this
adhd does a LOT to me but it doesnt make me wanna date kids 3+ years wounger than me-
what a weirdo
Same I have ADHD but I find this behavior disgusting btw I'm 15

The child grooming was AFTER he got fired from Nickelodeon. He wasn't doing it at the same time.
@@maniacaldude he literally had a 16 year old in the spumco offices while it was doing ren and stimpy. he started in 1994
@gabecrow Get your facts checked. Ren And Stimpy premiered on Nickelodeon in 1991, and John K. was fired in 1992, which was before any of this stuff with Robin Byrd happened. Spumco was NOT working on Ren And Stimpy in 1994, either, Games Animation was.
@@maniacaldude so not only were they getting molested, but robin and katie were getting scammed too -- he'd already been blacklisted. what a fucking joke of a man
Hardly "children" and hardly "several". Underage, yes. But not a "child". Katie Rice wasn't a kid, she was borderline underage.
This is why there's so much misinformation about this whole thing. Yes he was wrong, but many parts of this are being sensationalized, and overblown.
“She’s underaged too”
FBI: interesting
Nicktoons: Burn everything he made
Nah. Back in those days famous rich people got away with anything.
Some guy on The internet hFBI: FBI OPEN UP! (Barging every thing)
John:AAAAAAAAA WHY IS TH FBI HERE?
AFBI:YOU KNOW WHY.
JHON:I did not do it.
FBI: YOU under arrest!!!!
FBI: come on
JHON K:sigh..............................................
@TV JoshTron yo TV joshtron, I'm a big fan.
That genuinely shocked me and made me want to throw up
The question must be asked: where were Robin and Katie's parents? I know you can't completely control teens, but when they're 12, 13, 14..... How are they moving across the country to live with a 40 year old man? Their parents failed them. Horrendously.
They probably didn't care because he was famous, I wouldn't be surprised if they were paid a little money too.
@@Treeeee2008 That makes it worse.
@@issabeganovic8822correct
Yes! Im wondering the same thing!
that's unfortunately how a lot of (stupid) people think. They are convinced that if a person is famous or important, they are automatically good
bipolar and ADHD do not make you a monster. my best friend has both and he would never harm a child. his brothers are everything to him.
Yeah
He literally said the character is underage with a smile and they all laughed...
:(
@Fralorgrafon Welp in retrospect now we know it wasn't
@Fralorgrafon what kind of fucking joke is that
Cierra Brown I feel like it was nervous laughing
If I had to guess, they probably thought he was joking, or because of his popularity they didn't want to say anything
There's an old saying "Never meet your idols."
Addendum: Never meet your idols if they're pedophiles.
Or if something comes out about them, stop supporting them.
+FML
I perfectly well know what it means. Not sure what your point is.
Half of them are dead so...
I personally prefer "Meet your idols if you want, but be careful who you follow."
Actually, there’s a fourth well-known fact in animation: “If it exists, Scooby-Doo already met it”
There's a fifth well known fact in animation: always end in a dance party
@@Treeeee2008 and 6: if you’re invader zim, always end on a cliffhanger, but make everything back to normal in the next episode!
7: It your show is episodic, any random scenario is understandable…
8: There's always a killer clown, somewhere in Nevada
9: Ash Ketchum will always be 10
you either die a hero: stephen hilenburg
or live long enough to see yourself become a villain: john k
he was a villain from the beginning
Hero
Just wait until a few random females come forward, proclaiming how Stephen Hillenburgh made sexual advances to them, more than 30 years ago, when they were 17 year old "children"... Then you'll all turn on him at the drop of a hat, wrongfully condemning him as a pedophile, predator, groomer and a monster.
@@MrAnon00 Nah, Stephen was quite the asexual.
Hillenburg gave us all joy in our childhood
He didn’t seem like that kind of person maybe there was a reason he left
Kricfalusi is the literal epitome of the phrase "never meet your idols".
ArendAlphaEagle You could say the same thing about Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Louis C.K., Chris Savino, John Lasseter, Dan Schneider, Vic Mignogna, and ProJared.
Very true
@@saint_squared525 I'd say wait until the court case to lump Vic into the group. And this is coming from someone that believes Rial's and her groups claims are false. This whole thing pretty much started off from a jellybean like 11 years ago. I'm not kidding. From the story, Monica wrote her name on a jellybean before giving to Vic, and before he ate it, he stated "he can be the first to say he ate Monica." Then ever since, Monica had been trying to get him fired, and the sexual harassment/pedophile accusations were her last resort.
And, honestly there are some red flags pointing to how the claims were possibly baseless.
1. Why wait until the Broly movie came out back in January to say the claims to get him fired from RoosterTeeth and Funimation? If it's going on for almost 2 decades, why wait till January to say something?
2. When Vic stated he was filing a lawsuit, the reactions were odd. For instance, when news first dropped, Rial her fiance, and Jamie Marchi were trying to get it settled out of court before it even started. Wouldn't be the other way around, since normally if you're trying to settle something out of court, you have something that doesn't want to be seen by the public.
3. the whole "anything you say can and will be used against in a court of law" thing. Even after Vic threatened Rial and her defenders with a lawsuit, she, her fiance Ron Toye, Marchi and almost all Funimation VA's have done nothing but tweet about Vic, threatening to get him barred from conventions and blacklisted, threatening fans, harassing convention owners, and mocking his attorney. Marchi even took further saying "she wants his head. she wants his balls" basically wanting to ruin his life. Just from Toye's tweets alone Ty Beard has over roughly 450 to 500 pages worth of his tweets alone
@@saint_squared525 Also Doug Walker.
And Rebecca Sugar and others more like Melanie Martinez.
This documentary was a good reminder that many products that made you so happy as a kid had a lot of wicked stuff going under them.
Yep
Even Xiaolin Showdown?
“Hates/bashes different styles and shows, prefers the 40s to 50s, born in the 1950s, thinks that anime is gay, says it’s all corporate media crap.”

@@MINTYFRESH650 okay boomer
@Flandre Scarlet children who can't do anything important with their lives. Lol
YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS
anime is dogshit
Hearing this story always makes me sad because I was groomed by a man when I was 17, I didn’t get away until I was 19 going on 20. I tried multiple times to confront him about and ask him why he did what he did, and never got anywhere. I’m glad that these two were able to call him out and eventually make peace with what happened. I hope I can do the same one day as well. At least there’s comfort in knowing that because he was so much older than me, he’ll die before I do
I’m vert sorry for you
John K is the perfect example of "never meet your heroes" - I loved Ren & Stimpy as a kid, as an adult I found his blog about how full of himself he was and his weird defenses of racism in cartoons. That was already offputting by itself, thinking of how unbearable he must have been to work with, then much later it comes out that he's a pedophile. Prison is the only thing he deserves and the fact that he's not occupying a cell right now is a travesty of justice.
I would like to ask WHY is he not in prison?
Flandre Scarlet agreed!
@Leche' Flandre (laughs in Harvey Weinstein)
@@queenpeppyclaws6676 because the statute of limitations on the things he did ran out years ago
Ren and Stimpy never appealed to me, and now I think I know why now that John KKK turned out to be a pedagogue, and the other P-word that sounds like it. His cartoons never appealed to me because he has a disgusting sense of humor not just in his cartoons, but in real life as well! It was bad enough that he was so stuck up, he criticized any style of animation that was not his own just because they were allegedly less creative than the type of animation HE would make. So I am very grateful that John was never, ever one of my "heroes" because even if he was not a rapist, he is absolutely not the type of cartoonist from whom I would want to learn animation, because he is too condescending towards everyone else, instead of just embracing the fact that various artists around the globe just have different types of animation and art styles, and most of them are not as wacky as him. I do not care what he said about "CalArts" because listening to his insulting animation advice is not worth my time! December 15, 2022, 6:30am
God bless these two women for coming forward and being comfortable enough to talk about this horror that they went through so diplomatically.
I feel like I've seen you on Twitter.
The fact that he was seemingly proud of it all is so scary to me
I remember hearing about an unmade episode of Adult Party Cartoon called The Succubus. It was basically John K. trying to use Ren and Stimpy to manipulate and villianize the girls he preyed on.
(I might be wrong on the plot, but it was super creepy, awful and clearly talking about the girls)
The reason why it’s called an “open secret” is because everyone knew he was creep, but no one took it seriously until people came forward.
That makes it more horrifying.
Oofers SixtyNine
An “open secret” is like addressing the elephant in the room because it was an obvious problem everyone chose to ignore until someone decided to talk about it
People didn't want to get blacklisted in the industry at that time.
@@th3azscorpio makes sense since he has influence
As a fellow animator who draws sexy women with adult ADHD and has worked with many people with many levels of bi-polar, I can confidently say he was 100% BSing. It’s not hard to keep my pants on.
same.
Deflecting because he doesn't want anyone to assume he wasnt 100 percent in control when he was being a sexual predator. Its super gross he is using that as an excuse.
Whatever you do, Please stay away from me..........
Johnathan Hatton Exactly
I despise someone who uses that excuse, I'm ADHD, ADD, mildly autistic and OCD. i have more self control than him
Long story: My dad used to watch Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid, at age five to be exact. When I first saw an episode, it had gross humor in it that would appeal to me at the time and I just straight up laughed at the episode cause you know...a five year old will find anything funny and dad laughed hard, most of my early childhood I would really watch Ren and Stimpy just for gross exaggerated humor that I had no concept of understanding anything other than laugh at dumb things; my mom always hated the show and I wouldn't care, its like I was either brainwashed or was just being a kid, eventually I grew up and forgot about Ren and Stimpy during late elementary school and all of middle school. Flash forward till I was Sixteen, in my junior year of high school and it was fall of 2007; I was bored one night just changing the TV, my brother was playing a computer game and Ren and Stimpy was on, I wanted him to watch the show I used to see back in the day to show him how "funny" the show is, so it started and we watched it....for only three minutes! At sixteen, for some reason, I did not find Ren and Stimpy to be hilarious at all except really weird, disturbing and somewhat Fubar, I was shocked pretty bad and my brother was more shocked than me...in fact I think I was terrified of the show to the point that I had to leave the room. At that age of sixteen, I saw now on why my mom hated Ren and Stimpy and I don't blame her. Years later and recently I was talking to my brother about this show and without hesitation cause I wanted to his opinion, she said the show was flat out weird and I was telling him about the animator and his allegations of severe sexual Abuse, his response was "Really?!" as if he's not surprised in all this.
to be honest i never liked the show as a kid
Just a reminder that the original Ren & Stimpy existed as it did only because of corporate interference. John K. was given more freedom for Adult Party Cartoon, and look how it turned out. The fact that it was named Adult Party Cartoon alone should've been a red flag. This is one of the very few instances where general censorship was a good thing.
Though given who John K. was as a person overall, he should've never gotten a job in entertainment, PERIOD.
@The Queen Kurumi There's a reason why Spike's animation block as a whole no longer exists.

Reminder that Ralph Bakshi, John's hero, called him a one hit wonder who got lucky.
Ed Benedicy said "Animaniacs is what our stuff should have looked like to begin with", and that it "was the greatest cartoon on TV right now", while Ren & Stimpy was still airing.
Ralph Bakshi did just as bad if not worse things than him. Animated and created tons of r*pe fantasy cartoons and comics. He’s literally known for his abuse and hatred of women and racist depictions of black people. One r*pist calling the other talentless is not really an own.
@@actuallyimnotreallysureyet6360Ralph Bakshi's made some edgy animations, but it seems he's never groomed anyone. If you're referring to Coonskin in regards to him drawing racist imagery, you're not the only one to freak out seeing the imagery before watching the film, as critics refused to watch the movie purely for the visuals, but those who did sit down and watch it said the movie was actually anti-racist. If you've seen Coonskin and it offends you, that's fine, but Bakshi didn't make it to be racist.
@@austinreed7343 Actually, Ed only praised the animation itself. He didn't like anything else about the show. I assume he must have praised the TMS work.
There really is a problem in the entertainment industry that needs to be dealt with. I mean think about it, these things that we're hearing about with John K and Dan Schneider are just the things that we're hearing about now and the stuff that's being let out. Imagine how much more stuff, how much WORSE stuff is happening behind closed doors and shut curtains that we don't know about yet and that we'll probably never know about.
sadly most higher ups let it pass. its sickening really.
the thing with the animation industry is that when you work with kids shows or kid related things its kinda of easier to get closer to kids. the more power you have, more chance of no one saying something. i believe that (AS AN ARTIST) the whole thing is a big problem
About 20+ years ago my mother ran into him when she worked at the airport. While checking him in and waiting to board his flight they talked and he gave her a Ren & Stimpy pen before leaving. I still have it somewhere and will try to find it. Nothing bad happened fortunately, gonna show her this video now. What a small world...
I feel like John K might have been misguided in some way. I feel a bit sympathetic to some sickos because sometimes the psychos become monsters by circumstance. Seeing that he most likely had extremely abusibe parents, he could have gotten way off the edge of reality.
Sure but if it's true that sucks.
Just because people have abusive parents doesn't mean that they will become pedos..
@@ooferssixtynine4232 just because people have abusive parents doesnt mean that they wont become pedos... no one does the same, no one feels the same, thats why the outcomes are different...
@Johnny Morphine its not an excuse. No one is excusing the behavior. Its just, we can understand where they came from
That clip of him and Katie was so damn uncomfortable to watch, you can just see it in her face.
The fact that it was even put on DVD and distributed commercially without anyone taking issue with it is just mind-boggling.
@@ablationer ikr! she was visibly uncomfortable, he said gross, misogynistic things, and called the women at the other animation studio a slur. i guess that stuff was more excepted back then, but it’s just nasty
It’s gag inducing
I feel sorry for Katie Rice
this broke my fucking heart. those poor girls. all those children that he preyed upon. hearing him discuss katie like that disgusted me beyond belief, and hearing robyn's account just made me feel awful. all those people around them that didn't do anything about it, but KNEW - they're just as guilty as john is. they KNEW and still stood by and let it happen. I really hope those two are okay, now.
Enablers can be just as bad as the offenders.
I am really the most bothered by the large number of people who saw the photos John K was sharing and never did anything about it. Really, stop and take a second - think of the possibly hundreds of people who knew about this and did nothing. Makes you wonder if you are also complacent to something horrific.
That’s what I keep thinking. This is only possible because other men saw CP and said nothing. I don’t believe for a second they were not doing something very similar to him! It’s gross.
'she's underage too', 'yes very nice' ?????? what the frick ew
Can't decide who I hate more, John kricfalusi or the people who are perfectly fine with hearing that phrase.

It's a real shame to know how much a creep this guy is. He's an incredibly talented animator and I love his work. A classic example of having to separate the art from the artist.

"I guess its an animator thing"
That absolutely hurts, Like a truck.
Ashame people like John k gives a bad name to animators
And I want to be an animator when I graduate high school, if this becomes an “animator thing” to the general public then idk
I just graduated from university as an animator, and I have something of a theory to it (hear me out here)
A lot of psychiatrists and even things like Dr Kawashima's brain training, all say that a really good thing to do to keep all parts of your brain exercised is to avoid doing tedious repetitive tasks. Animation is a career of drawing the same thing over and over again for months or years on end. It's really easy to not look after your brain, and that's evidenced in the amount of depression and anxiety among animators. Obviously I'm not saying that people with mental illnesses are likely to be predators, but perhaps they come from a similar root issue of not looking after your brain.
I don't have any evidence or proof for this, it's just a shower thought I had one time, but ever since then, I've been on Brain Training and Duolingo daily.
@@Kanohoro I have aspergers autism, I can see where you're coming from.
However its a case of allowing things to be planted in his head.

I dont know his full situation but when you are surrounded like that, All it does enforces and renforces that kind of life style.
Even in the videos its all he talks about, in interviews some people weither jokingly or not approved of it.
And when not having propore mental health, it destroys

I think the worst thing about this is that despite knowing about what John K. was doing, no one said or did anything to help the victims while it was happening. Not even just the people at Spumco - others in the industry had to have known about this.

The folks at Nick sure did: They where waist deep into it themselves!
😒they did they just got tired of him. He was hogging all the sick fun. 🧐Now let's be EXTREMELY awake.
The creator of Ren and Stimpy is a messed up person? Imagine my shock lol.
I can't be too surprised, the show was on crack from the start so it makes sense that the Creator had some problems.
I can officially say that I am no longer fan of John Krisfalusi after learning how much of a terrible person he is for a cartoon animator. I may still be a fan of Ren & Stimpy due to it being one of my favorite cartoon shows that I enjoyed when I was a kid despite its adult humor, but I will never look at the creator the same way ever again.
Just like R Kelly (I don't listen to R Kelly's music but I know a lot of people like it despite the allegations against him)
Separate the Art from the Artist.

I feel awful for Billy West. The guy had to scream 100 times for John. Also, if you get to talk to Billy West, DO NOT bring up the Howard Stern incident. He’s a great guy to talk to, and shouldn’t be associated with John.
An Idiot With Internet YES!!! Billy West is amazing. People really shouldn't bring up John K. with him.
Not to mention that Billy West went on soon after to much bigger and better things in his career and John Kricfalusi ended up in the dust with barely anything to fall back on after Ren & Stimpy. It's his stinker attitude (along with other things I'd rather not bring up) that has gotten him where he's been in the last 30 plus years. Billy is also very, very talented and he deserves the success he's gotten.
I met Billy West at a convention a bunch of years ago, he is the nicest and most humble guy!
Working on Futurama was a better investment for him than I imagined
I've got some impressions that'll knock his socks off!
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that he called Katie a princess and not a queen.
Princess are typically young girls, while queens are adult women. Which one do you think John prefers?
Cartoons always have terrible people Butch Hartman, Chris Savino, Julia Vickerman, Steve Ressel, Skylar Page, and John Kricfalusi. But at least Jhonen Vasquez, Lauren Faust, JG Quintel, Jeff Kinney, Stephen Hillenburg, Daron Nefcy, Joe Murray, Dana Terrace and Capor Csupo are all Angels. Also May Stephen Hillenburg Rest In Peace he was amazing 😔💙

You can tell that Katie wasn't _comfortable at all_ during the DVD segment. She just looked so sad and miserable while John acted like nothing was wrong.
You could see how she keeps twiddling her hands and scratching her hair, that's common when you're uncomfortable about something.
If the story of Ted Bundy taught me anything, it's that not all monsters are slathering tongues, sharp teeth, and ugly faces, they can be anybody without ever knowing it until it's too late, John K. included. He made one of the best cartoons ever, but he is a monster.
But even the greatest work in the world can become trash after the actions of one person.
@@ericandy88 Separate the art from the artist. I still find charm in the original Ren and Stimpy, though I also thank the other staff on the show for that, since the same cannot be said for Adult Party Cartoon.
Horror has the mask of normality and innocence, hiding the evil and cruelty inside
@ Really. Eric is the problem.
Marco Hidalgo I’m glad you’re able to, but to me, supporting the art DOES mean supporting the artist.

True
Me, an aspiring animator with adhd: *has never had a sexual thought about underaged girls*

Yeah. I’m also an aspiring animator with ADHD his excuse is bullshit and fucking pathetic
Lowkey feel kinda bad for the dude, i'm not justifying his actions. But, if you didn't know, pedophilia is a disorder that makes you want to do weird things to kids. I will admit that it is his fault that he acted on his desires.
So am I
@@toast2980 i wouldn’t say its a disorder but more about power or the thought of corrupting something. Like how Abuser go after “weak” women to manipulate or how zoophiles go after animals since they dont fight back much like Abused Women and Animals children are the embodiment of innocence. These Predators are either victims of SA themselves and by doing it to other kids they gain back the power they lost when it happened to them or are predators that were cowards their whole life and SA kids to feel powerful or “like a man”. Some guys go after virgins because they like the feeling of destroying innocence or the power they have to take it. They know what their doing and know that its wrong it isnt an addiction, mental illness, disorder, or “the devil” its something that weak people do to gain power.
I will put a scenario-ish
Did you know (some not all) mothers who have abusive partners will take it off on their children. They will beat their own kids up in a fit of rage. Why? Because of power. She is powerless against their partner (be it money wise, physically, authority) so they unleash that anger on a WEAK person who cant fight back (who is a child) to feel some sort of power back. With that scenario-ish in mind think of a predator thats why i couldn’t call it a disorder i call it a crime.
I like that most of his "criticism" of animaniacs could be applied to Ren and Stimpy as well, lol.
Also "she's underaged too" "oh, very nice", wow, just wow. Dear god, that's such a disgusting reaction from howard stern and his staff...
Seriously how was it not a bigger deal when he said that on Howard Sterns show? I get the audience likes shockjock humor but jfc

@@sourgreendolly7685 honestly, it fits with Stern's fucked-up sense of humor so well he probably just thought it was a joke. I'm not a fan of Stern at all, but that does fit with his style.
Kandi Gloss I can't be shocked. Howard was always a disgusting human being.
Primarily because it was taken as a joke and not at face value. Kinda obvious, lol

I like to draw crazy facial expressions too, like in Ren and Stimpy. That’s why I say that Ren and Stimpy is one of my inspirations. Not John K. I think the only reason why Ren and Stimpy was good was because John K was being supervised the whole time. When he’s not supervised, you get Adult Party Cartoon and Cans Without Labels.
You can see how uncomfortable Rice looked in the video. Makes me feel disgusting
The video says she was 'no older than 20" at the party- why didn't she leaver earlier? 20 is awfully old to be innocent of what's going on with a predator. Why didn't those girls alert the authorities over the CP pics on the computer?
@@tannaeros she was probably scared of retaliation and she was also groomed for years, what do you expect?
@@tannaeros Victim blaming doesn't look good on you 🤮

John K: And she’s underage, too.
FBI: *allow us to introduce ourselves*
only if they did
Except they don't introduce themselves
and the reactions john k got from the people around him when he said that were also very disturbing. if they had any sense they would have immediately called him out for it.
well ... considering she is underage you don't want to introduce anything.
The FBI would probably hire him to lure children for them.
Robyn sounds so nice and friendly I hope she's doing ok now.
Hopefully she is, but years of trauma would definitely happen if you were the victim of John's abuse.
Don't mention Robyn Byrd insult sane Ren & Stimpy fans as "rapist apologist"
Yeah me too
15:35 no Robyn, it's NOT an animation problem it has NOTHING to do with the love of animation. In his case it's probably due to his past and there are many other reasons. Pedophilia is RAMPANT throughout the ENTIRE entertainment industry.

@@hookah998 a lot of people are gay as well but that doesn’t inherently make all people gay.
Jokes on him, in Japan, Ren & Stimpy is actually HATED over there (according to TV Tropes) because many Japanese find his art style too grotesque and disgusting to look at. Because of that, he won’t be able to make the cut if he moved to Japan to make hentai since his art style will not make him earn a living over there. Plus hentai is extremely niche compared to the more mainstream over there. Yeah in Japan, they’re very used to the sparkly anime eyes so any foreign animation that doesn’t meet this standard is most likely not going to be received well.
