Top 10 TheTopTens List Items that Should Probably Be Number One on Their Respective Lists
As a certain title for one of the recent posts on Reddit's /r/cruddyoffbrands sub put it,
"Mega Babies is basically Ren & Stimpy without the fascinating artistic charm, Rocko's Modern Life without the genius improv writing, Rugrats without the heart, Powerpuff Girls without the ironic macho-ness...oh, who am I kidding, literally NOTHING good about ANY of those shows is even remotely present here."
I mean Jesus, I thought R&S itself was an incredibly bad and overrated show in retrospect (when judging it by its actual WRITING and not just its admittedly stunningly beautiful VISUALS, that is), but good LORD does it seem like an honest-to-god masterpiece when compared to this...THING (that scares me on a whole MULTITUDE of levels, no less, not even mentioning the "dog" from that...ahem..."Poop Doggy Dog" episode).
For lack of a better way to describe it, Mega Babies is basically what Rocko initially got stereotyped as by critics; a truly, utterly tasteless attempt to ...more
Quote: It rips-off of Ren & Stimpy because of the humor and gross out jokes, rips off Rugrats because of the premise, and it also rips off The Powerpuff Girls because of the "trio of heroes" motif, along with the colors of the babies
Home to such classic jokes as:
Tom Green running around in the middle of an open road with a maggot-infested deer carcass draped over his head, screaming like an idiot all the while
Tom Green swinging a fetus around and around by its umbilical cord with his bare hands and dementedly shrieking "WAKE THE BABY, WAKE THE BABY" while everyone in the hospital room watches in horror
Tom Green jacking off both a horse AND an elephant
Tom Green becoming a zebra and having his teeth agonizingly shredded against concrete pavement by his own hateful and abusive father
And who could forget the legendary "ding DONG" scene
If the guy with the human-faced bellybutton tumor doesn't do it for you, the fat naked businessman (with a giant morningstar ball sack, no less) strapping on a burglar mask and attempting to chop down a telephone pole with an axe (among other things) while the singer begins yelling such classic phrases as "RAIN DOWN ON ME FROM A GREAT HEIGHT" and "THE CRACKLE OF PIGSKIN" and "THE PANIC, THE VOMIT" at the top of his lungs probably will
There's also the fact that the video has almost literally NOTHING to do with the song itself besides being equally as hilariously disturbing, cynical and insane
Love this video. It's crazy, but it's a special kind of crazy that matches the song perfectly.
Between it and Rocko's Modern Life:
R&S was the innovative one, while RML was the actually GOOD one (primarily because of the gross-out humor being toned down and no longer being an obnoxiously central focus in RML; honestly, shows like Mega Babies REALLY should have taken note of that)
Compared to some of the more recent things to come out of games lately, Giygas honestly isn't actually that scary of a boss
Well, certainly not compared to Omega/Photoshop Flowey and the Amalgamates (both from Earthbound's spiritual successor), for one thing
Seriously, even though I myself only ranked it an extremely solid 9/10 in my reviews for this game, I have a very serious challenge for anyone who denies this and has actually played the game: name ONE non-ridiculously-iconic moment from the Pacifist Run
Perhaps not the biggest, and certainly not the most originally themed or ESPECIALLY least linear of the franchise's areas, but seriously, EVERYTHING about the way that Super Metroid handled this area was just absolutely brilliant and perfect (the game being stupidly easy notwithstanding); seriously, the legendarily badass Upper/Lower Brinstar music was pretty much just the icing on the cake here
(cough, NOT A REMAKE, cough)
For the exact same reasons listed above
