(#neverforget) The voice of Patti Mayonnaise, Constance Shuman, is a character actress who has appeared in Fried Green Tomatoes, Reversal of Fortune, Boys on the Side and Sweet and Lowdown. Her name is a combination of the two, meaning that there’s some poor girl out there with the last name of mayo. Patti Mayonnaise was inspired by the two girls creator Jim Jinkins had a thing for in high school. Ever the journaler and avid writer, this makes Doug Shakespeare.ģ. According to Woolf, if Shakespeare had a sister, she would have been called Judith. (Cause duh.) More surprisingly, Doug’s sister Judy got her name from a Virginia Woolf poem. The Funnies’ neighbors, the Dinks, get their name from the phrase “Dual Income, No Kids.” The vice prinicipal of Doug’s school is patterned after Don Knotts and the Beets are obviously inspired by the Beatles. Side fact: Chuckie was voiced by Christine Cavanaugh, who was also Dexter in Dexter’s Lab, and appeared in Aaahh!!!! Real Monsters and Salute Your Shorts as Mona.Ģ. It’s unclear exactly when this death occurs in the show.
Chuckie started off the show with two parents, although his mother is only referred to and implied as existing, later episodes (like the Mother’s Day segment) and The Rugrats Movie redacted her life - killing her. Mothersbaugh was also Wes Anderson’s go-to music man, working on The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic. In Rugrats, Chuckie’s character was inspired by the eccentric Mark Mothersbaugh, the prolific Devo musician who was the composer for the show. Here’s 21 things you might not have known about Nick in the 90’s - all found on Wikipedia and IMDB. (Spoiler: all of our favorite shows were dirty.)ġ. However, some other facts are pretty cool, and slightly more real. You didn’t, because none of those things are true. However, how much do you really know about your favorite 90s shows? Did you know that Hillary Clinton and Dame Judi Dench got slimed on Figure It Out, Nicolas Cage once appeared in Blue’s Clues and Skeeter was actually a member of the Illuminati? Can you imagine this happening on a show now? It's not politically correct, but who cares? We were 10-years-old and all that mattered was Kel loved orange soda.Sure, you love to reminisce about Nickelodeon’s 90’s lineup - aka back when kids’ shows were good. Kenan and Kel's exchange is probably the most remembered of all of the '90s shows.
Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchel, Kenan and Kel One of the best skits on All That, Kel Mitchell's role as the dumbest fast food employee in history was eventually turned into Goodburger the movie. "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?" - Kel, All That We can see ourselves yelling this at jerks in traffic though, with a few expletives thrown in for good measure.Ģ. Because that's what you do when you like someone, right? We used to yell this when we were annoyed at someone, but we've moved on from playground scuffles. The meanest girl around, little Helga was in love with Arnold. "Move it, football head!" - Helga, Hey Arnold! As soon as they start rebroadcasting Rocket Power, we know the clips will pop up.ģ. Unfortunately, the Internet has failed us. And now that the show is coming back, we're sure "once in a while" is going to turn into "all of the time." Because what could be cooler than waving your fingers while making incoherent noises? We still bust it out every once in a while. It was the gang's secret handshake, and the most memorable thing about the show. Next time you're getting ready to tell your parents to stop dropping by unannounced, you'll be mumbling it under your breath.Ĥ. You might not start saying it in public, but deep down, you know the truth.
He was still in diapers and he was cooler than everyone we knew. "A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do." - Tommy Pickle, Rugrats In honor of TeenNick's nostalgic programing, here are the five best catch phrases from the throwback lineup.ĥ. Hearing them again (and in the original context) was like reuniting with a best friend. But we as watched them, the part that really made us flip out were the catch phrases. After watching a few choice YouTube clips, we thought that once the nostalgia wore off, we would be bored. All That was funnier than SNL and Are You Afraid of the Dark scared us worse than any horror movie could now. These shows used to seem like the coolest shows ever. The channel is resurrecting shows like All That, Kenan and Kel, Double Dare, Rocko's Modern Life, Clarissa Explains It All, Doug, and so many more.
We haven't been this excited over TV news in years.
TeenNick's new "The 90s Are All That" series begins this Monday at midnight and will run until 4 a.m.
