What do they eat?
Cliff and Rancid's cum.
Because the question of "how does SpongeBob poop" doesn't overshadow the show.
>we know how spongebob reproduces
>yet not how he poops
It was just sort of annoying and ugly while Spongebob was damned good, both in art and writing.
Well one is shit.
The world around them is incredibly mean spirited and often not fun to watch.
Spongebob had likeable characters, good jokes and a creative setting. Catdog is just awkard to look at and the writing didn't help.
Spongebob was produced by a staff that loved it, Catdog was produced by a staff that actively hated it. The premise was just dull and no matter how hard Nick tried to push it at the time, it was an inorganic corporate product that ended up making the staff despise it. There are interviews where people talk about how being assigned to work on Catdog became a form of punishment within the studio. It was a bad premise that was actively sabotaged by people that didn't enjoy it one bit.
All that being said, I'm kind of amazed that it did have a handful of good episodes, like the monster truck, prohibition parody, and apocalypse ones. I wonder what happened there where the show suddenly felt like it cared.
Nick placed a frickhuge season order for Catdog. That means scripts had to be churned out fast without time to punch them up.
Nick wanted to do the same for Spongebob, but Hillemburg, who worked on Catdog, persuaded them to make smaller seasons and pointed to Catdog as a reason why
>but Hillemburg, who worked on Catdog
Did he? I thought Stephen only worked on Rocko.
You're right, it was Derek Drymon
I can relate to you the plot of at least every Spongebob episode from the pilot to the movie right from memory.
The only episodes of Catdog I remember is the one where Dog got swole to beat a bully, the one where cat got fat and the one where a paparazzi kept bothering them and actually figured out how they go to the bathroom and took a picture. And that's probably more than most people.
I can relate to you the plot of every episode of all Back at the Barnyard. Doesn't mean that the show is good in any regard.
>one where a paparazzi kept bothering them and actually figured out how they go to the bathroom and took a picture
Well that answers the question kek
Can you remember a single joke from Catdog?
They're characters are so fricking basic. It's the classic Odd Couple formula that was all the rage in cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain and Angry Beavers.
Like, they're names are just "Cat" and "Dog". It's so creative. It's like, frick you kids, here's your new favorite cartoon. And what are their names? Itchy and Scratchy?
No. Just Cat and Dog. And your gonna like it.
What does CatDog do for a living?
CatDog wasn’t even suppose to become a show.
It was suppose to be a series of shorts and a song but the Nick execs liked it so much they wanted it to be their next big thing.
CatDog feels like one of those moronic shows Nick would air post-2005 (Breadwinners, Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Middlemodt Post) but if it was made in the 90s. It isn't nearly as bad as those shows but still bland and forgettable.
CatDog is a show that had original humble ambitions at the pitch, got inflated by executive idiocracy and was manned by a crew that felt it was a punishment to work on the show and actively despised it.
It was doomed to fail from the start.
