Boys ABSOLUTELY watched it. They just didn't go to the movie in theaters.
It seemed more popular among girls
Boys don't watch girly shit
I definitely remember watching it. Though I wasn't really a big PPG fan, it was either that or Hey Arnold! I was a CN kid growing up.
Wrong. We only watch it if there were cute girls. (Example: Sailor Moon & Totally Spies gave us raging boners, so we watched it as "guilty pleasures")
Attractive women*
boys may not, MEN however do
Is this how you call pedos now

Yet a boy created it
Two boys created Kim Possible and that was viewed by girls and not boys
That’s also untrue. Most KP fans are male
Dexter had like 6 good episodes. EEnE after two consecutive episodes makes you suicidal. PPG was a solid hit of action when toonami wasn’t on.
>he doesn’t like EEnE
>he doesn’t like the first 2 seasons of Dexter
get the frick out
I didn't watch it because it was so girly. Sure, it had action, but it was basically very girly action like Sailor Moon and kid me wanted more badass action like DBZ and Teen Titans
The Powerpuff Girls regularly beat their enemies into a bloody pulp. Way more on the DBZ side of things then Sailor Moon and that was the main joke of the show.
The Mime episode always stood out to me in particular for this. Damn those girls were buttholes sometimes, dude was clearly under some kind of influence, they didn't have to do him like that
Even as a kid I thought that was bullshit. At least ask the guy what happened first.
I would bet Craig McCracken just wanted to beat up a clown. (I don't blame him, clowns freaked me out back then)
*mime
Mimes freaked me out as a kid.
I have no idea how i fricked that up that many times. Guess my brain was on "clown mode"
>I would bet Craig McCracken just wanted to beat up a clown.
Craig did not want that to happen. CN told him the episodes had to end with someone getting beat up by the girls so that's why it happened. He said he didn't like that ending either.
That clown shows up later at their birthday party to show they are still friends.
who says that boys didnt watch ppg
i didnt even think it was popular with girls
It was verboten at my school. I remember in kindergarten for show and tell a boy mentioned watching it for and he got laughed at.
>a class of 5-year-olds make fun of one kid
>That means noone else at the school talked about the show.
Yes, autist-kun. Similarly you would also be called a gay for liking horse show. This was an elementary school in the early 2000s, before your time.
nobody called the horse show kid a homosexual because he watched horse show, it was because he was extremely short and high-pitched and autistic
t. 1997 zoomer
but i did watch it
I watched it with my brother whenever it came on.
Gee, i wonder why boys wouldnt want to watch a show telling them they are evil and how girls are much better than them
/misc/ please go and stay go.
>i wonder why boys wouldnt want to watch a show telling them they are evil and how girls are much better than them
/pol/stars are weird.
When I was growing up, boys WANTED to be associated with evil or being edgelords.
He's a moron but it's a bit annoying that professor utonium is the only male role model in the series
They don't even get a mom and you want them to have TWO dads?
No I just wanted more than 1 male character who isn't evil or a moron
I wanted more of them. It was as simple as I dont relate to a bunch of little girls.
Why the frick would they want to watch PPG when depending on the time they would have had either Dexter or Ed Edd and Eddy.
Dexter and Ed, Edd n Eddy were the only two CN shows I actually wanted to watch until Kids Next Door and Billy and Mandy started airing
Boys watched it, they just didn't like to tell others they watched it
Wasn't it basically just a Sailor Moon esque series that was really girly? Why would boys watch that aside from feminine boys?
I'm also sick of people thinking PPG was popular. It wasn't popular. It got BTFO'd the ratings by Dexter's Lab and Ed, Edd n Eddy, both of which had more airings each day than the PPGs did
>Sailor Moon esque
You probably shouldn't comment on things you know nothing about.
Wasn't the PPG super girly in terms of it's action? Just magical attacks?
>Super girly
The opening alone has Him getting punched so hard a tooth comes flying out, blood and all.
>Just magical attacks
He's either trolling or a moron, don't pay him mind
That or he mixed up PPGZ with the original.
Bruh what part of this looks magical? The PPG were mini-Supermans.
no it was pretty physically violent.
the weird part of comparing it to sailor moon is sailor moon attracted a relatively large male audience for a shoujo due to its fan service aspects, something PPG lacks.
No you fricking moron, the Powerpuff Girls's main method of attack was just beating the absolute shit out of their opponents.
They also have eye lasers.
>Wasn't it basically just a Sailor Moon esque series that was really girly?
That's PPGZ.
historical revisionism
You really are moronic
Boys did watch the original.
Nobody watched the reboot.
Boys watch it but don't want to say they watch it because it is demographically targetted for girls.
Satan Claws
Santa Claus
Spoken like a Gen Alpha zoomer
EVERYONE watched ppg, even us 2000s boys late to the party
In what universe did boys not watch it? Maybe you're a zoomer and thinking about the new PPG with that pedo self insert, which no one watched.
I knew boys that watched the original PPG and actually loved it. It was a violent superhero show with great humor, at the end of the day. Plenty of the villains were male and Utonium was a great good guy. Rowdyruff boys were super powerful and the ultimate fan favorites. It's note like there wasn't things for boys to latch onto.
Not only that, I knew teen boys at the time that were openly into the original PPG and liked it because it was just a good show. They liked Dexter and Courage a lot as well. Courage specifically had a lot of teen fans due to it just being an openly horrific kids show and too off-putting for the TV-Y7 and under audience.
So why did Ed, Edd n Eddy stay on the air longer if teen boys weren't as into it as Dexter, PPG, or Courage?
Anon what the hell are you talking about, no one said EEnE wasn’t well liked.
EE&E was outsourced animation from a Canadian punk and was way better than it had any right to be.
You know that's a bad argument.
they did with the show, just not the movie or later attempts at reboots
yea and it doesn't hold up either
I never said teen boys didn't watch it, I just didn't personally hear them talk about it. Ed, Edd and Eddy was more for kids, and had nothing objectionable outside of being outrageous sometimes. PPG has violence, Dexter had a lot of adult humor, and Courage was just horror.
If they didn't like it, I'd guess it's because it's hard to relate to kids having hijinks in a cul-de-sac. Much more of a suburban kid experience. Usually teens can drive and do whatever they want by then.
I actually pity how most of you didn't live in a Cinemaphile neighborhood. You're probably a third worlder who lives in squalor when these shows were airing and not an actual American city or town.
Were teen boys into SpongeBob? I remember reading online that SpongeBob had an audience of college students
SpongeBob's appeal seemed universal across all age groups
>Were teen boys into SpongeBob?
Yes, but it felt like more specific episodes of Spongebob. I personally really liked all the early seasons of Spongebob and so did every kid I knew, but it felt more like teen boys really liked certain episodes.
An example being I loved the episode F.U.N. because the song was so annoying, just like how Spongebob annoyed Plankton. Episodes like Band Geeks everyone seemed to love.
>College students liked it
Yeah, absolutely. A lot of early geekiness actually started on College Campuses, due to the internet not being really that big. Some very early anime cons in the west first started getting going with college students and their anime clubs.
Gee it's almost like people like multiple things homosexual ass moron
PPG ended when the creator wanted it to end. Unlike many zombie shit like FoP, Spongebob, TTGo, etc, things that end soon are 99% better than shows that end ~never.
Maybe it was to emphasize the fact that the Rowdyruff Boys weren’t redeemable?
>implying I didn't watched it as a kid because mojo jojo was a funny villain
I bet you were that homosexual that didn't watched card captor sakura too
I remember not minding it as a kid, but watching it as an adult it's fantastic. The reboot is bad, but I do think it gets a little too much shit.
Zillennial, born in 1994, very much male, schoolkid during the golden age of Cartoon Network; begged my dad to get cable just to watch Ed Edd n Eddy and Dragonball Z around 2000, early 2001, but I'd been watching these shows before then. I remember Cartoon Network before Adult Swim when late night was either Toonami or Tom and Jerry reruns.
Yep, I watched the shit out of PPG. I loved it. In fact I loved it more than Dexter's Lab,Johnny Bravo, Sheep in the City, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Whatever Happened to Robot Jones. Probably on par with EEnE and DBZ for me.
Here's the thing: it was fricking 1999-2003, not the homosexual 2010s or 2020s. As a boy, I was still expected to be a Boy. And I was. I loved shit like the X Games, Limp Bizkit, WWF/WWE, Xbox, the Man Show, the teen sex comedies I was too young to be watching, and some of those really politically incorrect magazines from Great Britain (the Lads stuff like Loaded which my bro read).
You watched stuff like Powerpuff Girls and Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyo but your ass hid that shit. Mom or the sister mocked you for it. You didn't let Dad know— he comes home, you change the channel to MTV2 or lie that you weren't really watching TV and then it immediately changed. You definitely didn't go around school saying you watched it like the gay in the other anon's post. You usually didn't talk cartoons anyway unless it was Pokemon or DBZ. We talked more about video games.
You wouldn't understand it if you weren't there and grew up in times when boys aren't shamed for liking girls stuff or role-playing as girls.
Back then, female characters were for the girls-— you never picked Chun Li in Street Fighter 3 or Android 18 in Budokai 3 when you were playing with the bros unless you wanted to get called gay.
PPG was pure downlow fun for a boy. Now no one really cares.

Frick this hits close to home
>I
The frick are you talking about? I watched it.
Everyone I knew secretly watched it until we slowly found out everyone watched it.
I watched it
36 yo, here.
looked gay to me but then some friends said i should check it out because it was good.
it was good so i watched it.
i don't remember it ever coming up with anyone after that.
dbz came up more because it was on free to air.
>How come boys didn't watch it? I
Please stop dude, there were guys with Powerpuff Girls dolls growing up
I’d say more boys watched it than girls.
That RowdyRuff Boys episode was great.
How come kids didn't watch it?
Because kids are moronic and have shit taste that’s why
Wander is kino for everyone in the know
Too sappy. Over correction from Bloo.
I watched when I was 4, I had a massive crush on Bubbles
and I still do, help
I did when I was 9-12 and I liked it a lot
Counterpoint: t. " ".
Let's talk about the upcoming reboot. What are your
>Hopes?
>Fears?
>Expectations?
?
As good as Seasons 1-4 of the original
?
He's going to double down on the 10th anniversary speical because he thinks the PPG movie being too serious was why it flopped.
?
It's going to be Seasons 6 tier. Not great like how it started, not as shit as nuPPG
>hopes
Justice for Buttercup
My dad once walked into the living room, said PPG is a girl's show and laughed at me and I felt so fricking ashamed that I never once watched another episode after
My family (all women) forbidden me to watch cartoons or consume any kind of media centred on girls because they thought it would make me gay
holy shit you're surrounded by fricking idiots
Your family sucks and I feel sorry for you.
in the late 90s my buddies and i would go to a friends house and watch cartoon network, eat pizza and play video games. we all liked Powerpuff Girls. i watched that shit all the time with my sisters too
>boys didn't watch it
frick off
If you don't expect boys to watch your show, why include characters like this?
She was for lesbians.
I watched it and loved it. But didn't talk about it openly. I assume a lot of boys were the show. It's a funny show with cute girls and very violent.
