Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Okay, so there are a few things about this that made me go "huh?"

First - how did I not know about "The Super Dictionary" until today?

Second - ice breath, talking to squirrels and.... curling her tongue?

Third - "missiles coming out of every possible orifice". Well okay then.

Four - seriously. Satan is doing what???

I mean HIM isn't technically Satan but absolutely is serving cunt:

HIM from the PowerPuff Girls

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Ah.

It's just not a phrase I'd ever heard before.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

He was supposed to be/is implied to be. Original name was Satan Claws, which explains a lot about the fit.

I believe there was an entire episode that was just Beatles references and jokes. The villains made a group called the "beat alls" I think.

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, the episode is titled "Meet the Beat-Alls" after the Beatles album and it's one of my favorite cartoon episodes of all time.

And the group fell apart because one of them fell in love with a yoko stand in

Okay, one episode I don't remember but find the plot to be very on brand is an episode where Mojo Jojo ( the evil braniac monkey ) and Him ( in universe Satan ) basically end up, IIRC, fighting over the Rowdy Ruff Boys ( the boy opposites of the Powerpuff Girls ) because Mojo originally created them and then Him brought them back to life. IIRC, the summary is basically them bickering over them like parents on who raised them better before just being proud of their work in the end. Gonna look it up to make sure I'm not spouting out my ass.

Edit:

The episode ( Custody Battle ) is, according to Wikipedia ( grain of salt, I know ), about the Rowdy Ruff Boys coming back and they compete to see who is the more evil father.

Also, I forgot about the episode where Mojo Jojo does community service at a community college, teaching English, and somehow the whole town gets stuck with his very verbose speech patterns somehow. The show knew when to be absurd in such a great way.

I want to be able to talk to animals. In Spanish too so the racists get REALLY bent. And I will totally tell them that the animals speak the language of God and English is how God finds heretics, like Mormons or Anglicans.

What about the time that 3 adult men use terrible costumes to imitate the Power Puff Girls and nobody can tell who is who despite... like... everything

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There are three intelligent adults (human) in Townsville. The Professor, Ms. Bellum, and Ms. Keen. And only Ms. Bellum is always smart.

Second - ice breath, talking to squirrels and.... curling her tongue?

No wonder she's always in such a bad mood.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

She was actually really stoked about the tongue thing, before that she had nothing.

It still has one of the greatest intros imo. The music, the character introductions, the quick action sequences immediately draw you in.
