Well thanks, I just watched all of these videos and bawled my eyes out.
Sounds like the voices of these guys:
Which that reminds me of my favourite video in their series... Kind of needs context but is funny anyway.

That first one gave me a very "21 and 24" vibe.
Not sure if it's "awesome" or just plain weird, but....Macauly Caulkin's latest music video.

I'm not surprised that 80% of those people sounded 12.
My mom would think it was ghosts.

"Sexy girl laugh"? Seriously?
Reminds me of these belgian commercials...
(there are more, but you get the drift
)But how did he get the food into the oven in the first place? I want to see that video.

That was sort of my thought, too. If you don't want your dog climbing on the counters when you're away, don't leave food where he can smell it. It seemed to be leftover breakfast toast or something, in a confection oven.
I still can't believe this was originally shown on TV.
I can't believe it either, because it's really, really... boring.
Those spumco shorts have not aged well for me.
I won't say boring, but I will say it is slow. Though personally I thought it worked with the weird imagery.
I had this EXACT conversation with an ex a few years ago.
God, I always think I'm alone in my distaste for Ren & Stimpy.
To be fair, I never enjoyed animation very much when I was young. Even now, the list of animation I've enjoyed is short. Love Daria; I should buy that series. South Park has definitely made me giggle. On both of those, though, it is admittedly not the animation that I primarily enjoy. But when I was a kid, my brother and sister both loved animated shows/movies, so I watched a lot of them, because obviously you can't just like, not watch TV. That's madness.

My dad got me tons of Warner Brothers cartoon VHS tapes when I was a kid. There was a point when I had just about every Bugs Bunny cartoon memorized and recited it along with the TV (that memory space was later reallocated to Monty Python). I watched all the various stuff fed to kids as entertainment in the 80s because, as you said, what else was I going to do saturday morning? And there was a brief period in 1985 where you would be completely ostracized from everyone else in the 1st grade if you weren't watching (and enthusiastically discussing) both MASK and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. But the really, really cool kids got up at 5:30 weekdays to catch Robotech. Then of course, weekday afternoons, the outdoors were a childless deadzone for the hour and a half in which GI Joe, Transformers, and The Real Ghostbusters came on TV.
So then the military moves us to El Paso, and I get this thing called Cable TV for the first time... and holy cow there's this cartoon on Nickelodeon where they do gross close-ups of faces and have bodily fluids and mash buttcracks together and go insane and eat soap and try to kill each other and LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE INSANE AND IT IS AMAZING. My folks were actually kind of worried what the subversive content was doing to my brain.
God. I was worried this was just how my kids acted.
This isn't here?
Meh. I always thought there was better animation out there than Ren and Stimpy. It relied too much on "we dare do/show gross things" to get a laugh. A "gross" version of Tom and Jerry is funny once, twice, aaannnnd that's it.
The Animaniacs (with their companion cartoons like Freakazoid and Pinky & the Brain) were much funnier to me, if I wanted to see "different". Mostly we got the "standard" cartoon fair - Roadrunner, Daffy, etc, or the European type - Smurfs (Belgian!), Tintin (Belgian!), Asterix (French-Belgian!), Lucky Luke (Belgian! ...wait, I'm starting to spot a trend here. Belgium really made some kick-ass cartoons and/or comic book series), Once Upon a Time (Life/The Americas/Space/....) (French/European cooperation),...
I actually mostly preferred the latter ones. I dunno, different drawing style, and more recognisable cultural references.

If that's a reference, I don't recognize it. Dr. Gregory Atlas was, in the battletech universe, the researcher who advanced myomer bundle research to the point where battlemechs became possible.
