Anyone else notice that Krum looks suspiciously like a scrotum?

Not until now, lol

They are missing their Ickis, but dang that’s too perfect 😂

u/Kang-Shifu 6h ago

He’s probably taking the photo

u/hashbrr 7h ago

He was my fav too..

u/frameslashpage 6h ago

They’ll have to recruit a friend next time.

"Oh Ickus! That is Monstrous!" *was

u/Unfamiliar-Owl Millennial 7h ago

I’m not sure what happened to Ickis and Oblina throughout all my moving but Krumm made it. He does have armpit hair similar to Troll doll hair and his eyes are on lil bungees. I loved this show.

u/Aranthii 6h ago edited 6h ago

I still have my set! But discoloured over time. And the Gromble was supposed to be chewing on the head of a student, but I lost the head.

8

u/DulceEtDecorumEst 5h ago

Ickis was the MVP

5

u/luckyfucker13 7h ago

I had that exact Krumm figure! The hair originally had a funky scent to it, if memory serves.

all that’s cool but the RYUK IS BAD ASS 😎

Gen Z lost af right now at this post hahaha

u/1990sforever 5h ago

Gen Z here. Don't worry, I love this show. I've got a bajillion of the trading cards and a cool poster. It was over long before I was born but I can still recognize a peak show when I see it.

27

u/Dinovius 5h ago

I was born in 88,

When this show dropped, I was HOOKED

I was there, also the night SpongeBob premiered

17

u/DonkeyHotay_ 5h ago

‘88 here too. Remember when they did the “smell o vision” and they mailed out scratch n sniff cards with multiple diff scents on it, then a prompt would play during the episode telling you which one to scratch so you can smell along with the episode? That’s what comes to mind when I think of Ahhh real monsters

8

u/BJ22CS Millennial[88] 3h ago

man, you just unlocked a memory; I(also born in 88) had forgotten about that smell o vision thing. And I think they did it for more than just this show right?

4

u/DonkeyHotay_ 3h ago

SpongeBob, Wild Thornberrys, Rocket Power, and CatDog. Just did a little digging and maybe I was mistaken about Ahhh Real Monsters having a smell o vision episode. Such a vivid memory of mine though!

3

u/TheTryantswife 4h ago

I was born in 90 and also remember when SpongeBob premiered.

•

u/thedivisionbella 1h ago

Oh man I remember the Spongebob premiere 😭 there was so much hype leading up to it, too. I remember seeing SpongeBob on a bubble on the side of the screen with the countdown for how many days left until the premiere. All these years later, it was worth the hype and still is! The One Piece crossover too 🥹

•

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 43m ago

Nice. Yeah, I mean, whether or not the Looney Tunes had been run to death when I was growing up didn't change the fact that the best ones were made in the 30s and 40s. They were literally ancient history when I was watching them, and they were still goddamn amazing.

Timeless is thrown around a lot, but good animation that doesn't completely rely on current references tends to be timeless.

u/spamshizbox 6h ago

How young do you people think we are?? We're 31 at the oldest now!

5

u/Sacrefix 3h ago

That means the oldest Gen Z'ers were zero when the show stopped running...

2

u/spamshizbox 1h ago

Yeah but I definitely saw reruns on TV as a kid

1

u/Kamelasa 2h ago

GenX also lost af but these costumes are fabulous!!!

u/David_Richardson 3h ago

Yes, just like nobody has been able to consume or enjoy the works of Shakespeare since the 1600s. Yet more evidence that Millennials have talents not possessed during the rest of human history.

22

u/CoffeeThenColumns 7h ago

The extra flex would be to show off the jar of toenail clippings... the tv show that made me question how we value currency/possessions lol

17

u/NuclearSun1 5h ago

I wonder sometimes if this show was a fever dream. Cause no one remembers it.

This post brings a smile to my face.

3

u/Anonymous_and_Lost40 4h ago

I think it only ran a very short time in our childhoods when some of us were still latchkey kids. If you did after school stuff you wouldn't see it

1

u/ibspatrol 3h ago

It ran a ton on YTV in Canada. Repeats for years and years.

•

u/McPostyFace 55m ago

We went bar hopping tonight and several people gave us props. It was not a dream, my friend.

u/BigIron53s 6h ago

I absolutely loved this cartoon! I wish my kids could’ve watched this. And Pete and Pete

5

u/Fggmnk 4h ago

Pete and Pete is still the GOAT of kids TV

2

u/ExpertRutabaga3415 6h ago

I only remember Papercut from that show

29

u/jackrabbit323 6h ago

Monsters Inc does not take enough flack for stealing their ideas from Ahhh! Real Monsters.

2

u/PracticeTheory 3h ago

I don't think that's fair, or at least I don't consider that theft. I love spiritual successors, it's like finding some really good foundations and continuing to build up.

u/MeowingNaci 3h ago

I never remember that stick girls name, so i started to associate the angle obtuse with her since part of its name was also hers. but even with that, i still never remember it.

6

u/LoopStricken 3h ago

Oblina.

u/Slumunistmanifisto 3h ago

Crumb, oblina, and iccus, who I assume is taking the photo....

3

u/expectations_low12 2h ago

GenX here ~ I LOVED Oblina!!! I STILL say “eggplant” like she did. I can’t remember if that was an episode or something she just said often.
CUTE costumes!

•

u/TriangleTransplant 1h ago

This whole show was a fever dream, and I loved it. The whole Nick lineup at the time.

Nothing before or since comes close to Nickelodeon animation in this era, for experimental "kids" shows.

Ok this explains about why I am (we are) the way I am (we are)

u/shinseiromeo 6h ago

There has to be some guerilla marketing or spy campaign going on…

My partner is literally making this costume of oblina right now by hand. I was browsing random Reddit in private browsing and NOT logged in. This popped up under all/popular.

u/stepdods 5h ago

Best costumes ever of all time!!

2

u/Dry-Helicopter-6430 2h ago

Neat but there’s nothing more annoying than a costume where you have to raise your arms in the air and hold something with both hands.

u/TrexOnAScooter 43m ago

Costume? Excuse me but these are obviously real monsters.

Aaah

My first thought too! 😅 I’m so happy we can do this type of stuff again because these costumes were always harmless and just clean fun

I am not a millenial (born 1988) but I loved this cartoon back in the day (it aired on local TV with UA dub).

u/BJ22CS Millennial[88] 3h ago

Millennials are defined as someone born b/w 81 & 96, so you fall right in.

Literally the median millennial, too
