Learning with Pibby (Apocalypse): or as I call it, "Get ready to ruin your childhood (in a fun way!).
Let's just be honest here. And I mean brutally honest. How many times have we seen people "Ruin our childhood" and in a not so nice way. I mean this is something that everyone tries to do. But with Pibby, she ruins all of our childhoods, in a funny fresh way.
Pibby is a cute "Happy Tree Friends" kind of Character and this show is more like what you would see if you were living back in the late 60's or early 70's but in a more modern way. (Think the original Sesame Street if you know what I mean). But as you watch the trailer in just 23 seconds (yes 23 seconds!) Pibby goes from cute and child like to something rather, (As Buttercup from the Power Puff Girls would say) "Hardcore." and already I know what some folks are thinking.. "WHAT THE F?" but let's get back to the fun, shall we?
Pibby's cute and clean kid like Innocence is started to be corrupted when a "Glitch" of somesort manifests itself on Pibby's show and starts attacking her friends , especially her closest friend Bun-Bun. And after the Glitch gobbles up Bun Bun, well the show goes full blown hardcore.. (Everything but rule 34 here Hardcore). There's blood, violence, more Blood, More violence, a few soft spot moments and then more violence still. And no child hood (and I mean NONE) are safe for the Glitch.. Scooby Doo? Trashed. The Flintstones? Trashed. The Jetsons, Trashed. Gumball? Trashed. Courage the Cowardly Dog? Trashed. Ed Edd, And Eddy? Trashed.
And as we go on the body count gets higher and higher.. Even more modern day shows like Steven Universe, and Adventure Time get Trashed.
Which then brings up an interesting point.. where the heck did this "Glitch" come from?
The answer might surprise you, and in fact one Pibby Theorist (Pibby-ist?) summed it up that the Glitch came from some where Here's a hint. It came from one of the above shows I mentioned. One that was trashed. Let's just say it's one of the more modern ones.. But still it's just a theory.. A FILM... no wait that's copyrighted... Curse you Matpat.
But when you see just 2 minutes and 30 seconds of this video and this is just a teaser.. I shudder to think what might happen if this does get greenlit.. It will be the funniest, most hilarious way to write off cartoons. without bothering to explain why.
And the final few moments of the trailer points out other things.. Like Speed Racer, Rocko's Modern Life, Spongebob Square Pants, and yes Dare I say it.. Samurai Jack.. (Though I wish Adult swim had taken and had Gendy Tartikovsky, go back in and redo the entire Jack series so that it reflected Season 5 of the series..
But you get the idea... This show definitely isn't for kids. Think of it as a way that the viewers have finally come in and taken back the "Kid Like Atmosphere" that today's shows are like.. Family Friendly, cutesy, and above all there's a lesson here.. And Learning with Pibby teaches on you thing..
Cartoons were never made for Kids.. Period.. These cartoons were made with Adults in mind.. Pure, simple, to the point. Learning with Pibby allows us to go back and look at the old stuff, while cherishing the new. and to cherish the old shows as well (I Bet no one under the age of 30 knows that the Flintstones and Jetsons were cartoons.. (Shut up boomer!). But you get the idea.. this takes a show like Sesame Street, and turns it into Batman the Animated Series.. Something Dark and foreboding. This isn't your family kid friendly fare of the 1980's with their Giant Robots (and where the heck is MEGAS XLR in all of this?!!! This is some gritty stuff... and this means one thing.. The Apocalypse is coming.. and maybe Cartoon Network is giving us the middle finger one last time.. Or not..Depends on whether you are a kid, or a kid at heart.. If you're "Just a kid" then stay off of Rule 34. If you are a kid at heart.. Visit it.. but then let's get off Rule 34 shall we?
But Pibby is in fact a fresh laugh at the expense of older cartoons. I mean when you have a sidekick like "Beta Boy" and a villainess like (The Ursula looking Cat anthromorph). It makes you wonder how many shots the creator is taking here.. from what i can tell he's holding back nothing and giving all the companies out there the biggest middle finger on the planet.. and you know what? I love it.. After all if you think Space Jam 2 was good and funny. Pibby takes it to the extreme.. and yes I mean Hardcore extreme. That's what makes this little teaser a bit of a hope that we can all sit back and give Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and even the dreaded house of Mouse and give them all the finger.. right in their money grubbing eyes.. because Cartoons are supposed to make us laugh and make us feel like a kid again.. and in this Case.. Pibby has gone full circle and have thrown a pie right into Cartoon Network (and the rest's ) face..
If it does get greelit, then get ready for the hilarity to begin.. or to quote a line from a 1960's movie.. THROW MORE PIES!
Okay that' it from me, a humorous look into Learning with Pibby.. And believe me, we best strap ourselves in nice and tight, cause if this does get green lit , then the world will never be the same again.. cause Cartoon Apocalypse isn't the end, but rather, the beginning.. of a fresh new start. No more kiddie fare. Time to grow up junior.
