I miss being a kid and watching this with no worries 😭

[@bowenzhu9720]

[@RABtoons]

All grown up

[@hi_austin]

Yeah guy, let's do ren & stimpy next. That's what we want.

[@thedeadmeme7463]

[@Daneki]

[@Strengthbymarcus]

Yes

[@zippedwith556]

It would be blasphemy to not do Rocko..

[@dajosh42069]

dude! Yes!

[@legoinsomniac]

Holy crap man, the fact that the voice of Chucky passed away has me super bummed. I had no idea. This is like when I found out Bob Hoskins died ages after the fact. A piece of my childhood passed away and I didn't even know.

[@Inkmonkeywoodis]

Plus the guy who voiced Tommy's dad passed away just a few days ago. I'm guessing they were already working on the video before that or they probably would have mentioned it.

[@darkhero-3097]

Lego Insomniac I felt the same when I found out Patrick Swayze was dead.

[@Grenyas]

More 90s shows! I need to relive my childhood :)

[@willhiggins9563]

First off, yes I'm feeling nostalgic to, Rugrats was one of favorite show well into grade school, and yes I'm feeling a little old seeing one of favorite cartoons being called 'nolstagoc' also.

[@willhiggins9563]

And secondly seeing as how I originally subscribed to this for that Harry Potter book vs movie video it's this kind of stuff that will keep me subscribed. P.S. When the the next Potter book vs movie be coming?

[@tommydiaz-millan2438]

Back before Spongebob showed up.

[@CroMagg]

LOVED these things I (mostly) didn't know! Absolutely hope you do more nicktoons/cartoon cartoons in the future!

[@reallife6178]

Oh my God! I am totally subscribing because you did this particular video you took me back down memory lane with the Lost Boys, Rugrats in Beetlejuice LOL those are awesome this was my time!!!

[@andrewzylstra1411]

That xylophone and 'ba-bah' is so damn nostalgic.

[@ToiletClogger1945]

Nickelodeon in the 90s was the Golden age of kids tv shows. I feel bad for kids these days

[@ihtctt]

100% Agree.

[@animock3051]

Hurr durr my child hood was better hurr durr

[@HeShoeTooBig]

Cartoon Network is the king of cartoons right now. thats where all the good writing went after the 90's

[@killersands5116]

how you feel bad they have Netflix and other places to watch these.binge I men

[@killersands5116]

+killer sands meen

[@TheXRealXBrapp]

This channel is actually really funny. I like it. Good job guys.

[@elegant.destiny]

Rugrats is one of my favorites! Glad y'all did this one. Definitely do Ren & Stimpy :D

[@PowerStruggle555]

This past year I met Bob Camp (creator of Ren and Stimpy) I...along with everyone at a convention....thanked him for giving us one of the original 3 nicktoons. Man I was they had the Doug and Rugrats creators as well...that would've been an awesome Q&A

[@shannonkeane1295]

You've mentioned in a few episodes how you don't wear pants while narrating. That's cool, no judgement here. I don't wear pants while watching theses vids. You do you, man

[@AlexThe1Menace]

Tfw you already knew all these facts. But seriously it's cool how you guys made a video like this and I'm definitely looking forward to more stuff like this.

[@blocknessmonster18]

You can actually get Reptar bars in stores nowadays!

[@SpookySkellyGurl]

Now I want '7 Things I (Probably) Don't Know About All Grown Up."

[@iankrasnow5383]

eww no.

[@g1nek17]

Sun-Wukong that show was fucking gay, it ruined rugrats.

[@leerwesen]

I must be like the only person who actually liked All Grown Up

[@CartoonCritter1985]

Leer Wesen I thought it wasn't too bad :-).

[@looneysprig]

@@g1nek17 no you’re gay

[@Gravitynaut]

Wait, why was The Critic drawn in a Steven Universe shirt?

[@Mr.Nin10do.]

Probably because someone made that internet joke of a leaked steven universe episode where they screenshot the critic where the critics son befriends an indian girl with glasses

[@livingabstraction2206]

Yeah comparing Marty Sherman to Steven Universe is a pretty popular internet meme among Critic fans. Heck even the Producers of Steven Universe have contributed to the joke sometimes

[@evelynnwhitebridge2497]

Thanks for clearing that up, was dying for a second

[@christianoskar2250]

great video as always

[@daveotuwa5596]

My siblings and I were photographed with Tommy at Universal Studios Hollywood the year before my youngest brother was born. The photography is STILL in the house right now!

[@willstallman2766]

Unexpected but still great. keep it up guys

[@SalameeQueijos]

what??? That's El Chavo del Ocho BGM on item 2 !

[@ElPayasoMalo]

Mark Mothersbaugh is a member of The Church of the SubGenius, which was founded by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, which makes "A Baby is a Gift From A Bob," even more hilarious. That's something that you didn't know!

[@Firegen1]

4:33 - 4:40 Thanks Clint - I couldn't agree more.

[@MasterAppels]

I liked All Grown Up. I don't know how well it has aged but I would probably still enjoy it.

[@infctdppt]

Yes I am a 25 year old druggy alcoholic. I learned it from watching you!!

[@psychedalek]

hah ... i was already a 25 year old druggy alcoholic when i watched rugrats with my housemates back then. these days the sound of the theme makes me think of NO2 whippet bulbs!

[@ryodark]

Wow this was a throwback! Now I, too, feel old.

[@jerilemons5281]

I Remember Watching Rugrats When They First Came On

[@YWNCCTHIF]

Nicktoon Generation checking in. Would LOVE to see more of the same! Rocko's Modern Life? Joe Murray has quite a legacy.

[@KingRey.]

THANK YOU I think that theory is plain stupid too

[@genieofthelamp6739]

CROSSOVER! Big fan of both you guys.

[@RockneOliver]

Could have added another item to add to that list: -- Grandpa, aka Lou Pickles, was voiced by two different people during Rugrat's run. David Doyle was the original until his death in 1997, and then Joe Alaskey took over after that. And a bonus one - David Doyle is probably best known as Bosley from the original Charlie's Angels TV series (damn, I'm feeling old now).

[@ayby17]

Nice vid keep up the good work

[@CrimsonWarriorX]

I noticed that his shirt was a different color (especially when the episode aired as a repeat) but always thought that he was wearing a red shirt and overalls in the first episode because his mom was dressing him up for his birthday. I never really thought anything of it. Even though this episode made me feel old too, I would never discourage more Nicktoon research.

[@MagicalAuroraDream]

Wow do I feel old! Rugrats came out just under 5 months after I was born and was my all-time favorite show as a kid since literally before I can remember. Crazy that Spongebob has been around almost as long now, 17 years. I remember the day it aired... I was 8 and upset I couldn't see the premier because we were moving to a new house. Ironically I wound up mostly disliking it anyway.

[@julesstephenson8935]

Please do more classic Nicktoons videos! Hey Arnold, rocket power, wild Thornberry's, all of that great 90s stuff

[@lhl2500]

Bonus thing: The artist artist that drew Aeon Flux (animated series) did so out of frustration drawing Rug Rats. Annoyed by drawing small roundish kids, he came up with the tall slender Aeon Flux. A great series. The film, not so much.

[@evil1knight]

man back when nick was good, do wild thornberrys that was my favorite

[@CartoonCritter1985]

I remember as a kid being excited when the movie came out :-).

[@OddOneOut665]

I had no idea that people HATED 'All Grown Up'. Why?

[@Topher1286]

Because most of us who were young when Rugrats first started were less interested in Nickelodeon and cartoons altogether by the time "All Grown Up" came out. Rugrats started in 1991, when I was 3. All Grown Up came out in 2003, when I was 16. By that time, I had grown tired of Nickelodeon and was more focused on more adult pursuits.

[@babygfeva]

OddOneOut665 We didn't want to see them age PERIOD. We already know people get old and shit but not our cartoons. It was wack to even try it. Fail

[@Livingsteno]

This video got my like, and I don't give out likes that much, so that actually means that I LOVED IT!!!!!

[@TheLegoNewsReporter]

yess! love this show!

[@KevinKnutson]

Christine Cavanaugh was also Mail Carrier Mona (and later Ranger Mona Tibbs) in Salute Your Shorts.

[@AirQuotes]

I love rugrats it's one of my favourite films as a kid and I now have a kid the same age as Tommy

[@prasadtaware1789]

Please debrief the structural awesomeness of the "How I met your mother"

[@cainster]

Eighth thing you (probably) didn't know about Rugrats: The animators snuck Tommy Pickles's 'pickle' into two episodes.

[@hillarysilvester9864]

now I feel old and sad. thanks cinefix

[@kuribo1]

If you are curious about how the rugrats are doing now you should check out a series called "all grown up". Fascinating.

[@mofaheem6717]

I love ur videos

[@VacFink]

Yes please, I'm looking forward to many things I don't know about Ren & Stimpy

[@whengchung90]

A Ren and stimpy episode definitely needs to happen

[@TheSuperDerp]

I was one year old when this show came out!

[@damionstjames]

I loved this show

[@tmnt2105]

cool one, used to watch Rugrats when I was little.

[@Lil1heathan]

I'm surprised you didn't include the director's fascination with Doctor Who and his nods to the show in Rugrats. I.e Tommy's screwdriver and his Dalek toy. Bonus thing you didn't know.

[@xXr0tt3nXx]

Probably a bit late... But I really think that you should have put in the Dr.Who connections. Tommy's (sonic)screw driver, the back yard being bigger on the outside than it looked inside, the Daleks in the toy store, etc

[@DungeonBricks]

Please do something with "The Newsroom"? More people need to see that show.

[@nickclark1815]

Man, this reminds me of how little I had to really do when I was a kid, I'm still only fourteen but I have a bunch of stuff I need to do! I mean, it is because my family is moving, and it'll probably settle down when it's all said and done, but still, I didn't appreciate not having to do stuff enough! NARGH!

[@Elizabeththegreatest]

I remember when this premiered!

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

Cinefix: "It's kind of the same reason why I never wear pants when I'm narrating the show; just a diaper." Edd from "Ed, Edd N' Eddy": "That's disturbing."

[@KarlMalowned32]

Every time I listen to the Rugrats theme song now as an adult, I have to fight back tears.

[@tiniestmang0]

Wow the nostalgia feeling just from hearing the intro for this show..

[@trainman666]

Oh ma, what a nostalgia trip. I used to watch that show all the time, but I really don't think it's aged all that well. It's still a great show, don't get me wrong, but I haven't watched it in a very long time. I do have both of the non-crossover movies. It was a pretty good show for its time. Much rather rewatch it, as well as the early seasons of Spongebob (pre-movie that is), but not anything after that. Nickelodeon just isn't the same as what it used to me.

[@HFXmermaid]

25?!?!?! I'm 30. I didnt realize it came out when I was 5!!!

[@noob69ish]

I would always pass by the studio, which i still do, lol i was like "oh cool, this is where they made rugrats"

[@ReaverLordTonus]

Only 7? There's tons more. Like how in the toy store episode, the animators drew Daleks from BBC's Doctor Who, suggesting they may have been fans and foreshadowing the show's return to tv in 2005. Or that the show not only implied Chucky's mom died of cancer, but that Tommy's Grandpa Boris was a Holocaust survivor (he's a 70 year old Jewish man from Smolensk Russia who immigrated to the US post war, put it together) meaning the Rugrats characters have some pretty messed up family histories.

[@natstrawberry9741]

more Nick Toons!!

[@Marie45610]

Doug was my favorite back when I was a kid.

[@babyllz]

I absolutely loved Rugrats growing up. I even had the playstation 1 games 😊

[@caole88]

I love Rugrats, it is really great!!!

[@cadenceacquaviva8724]

I got a Reptar Bar at ComiCon in Albany in 2018

[@mazurbeem]

the pilot wasn't unaired, I remember seeing it. I think they aired it as a sneak peek on snick right before the actual series debuted. I had no siblings or friends and just watched Nickelodeon all day, so you can trust me on this.

[@sirbadjj]

At conneticon 2018 I was able to buy reptar bars from a booth. They also had a bunch of cereal from shows. Like lucky smeckles from Rick and morty.

[@TerrySterling-Thatguy]

You need to do a Ren and Stimpy episode, Your choice on including Adult Party Cartoon

[@RKTGX95]

Make a " # things you didn't know about Ren & Stimpy "

[@thepato8197]

That's not a hashtag mate you have to put it all together

[@xelex69]

+The Pato '#' also means number

[@button4boy]

He wasn't making it a hashtag... he was using the # symbol as a substitute for the number, because sometimes it differs in their titles. You know, before Twitter came along, the hashtag symbol was mainly used to represent a number...! ;)

[@stephenchin2178]

+MikeTheActorMan lmao

[@Topher1286]

Good lord, that people are starting to forget that # was once normally used to represent a number makes me feel...I don't even know what. Does anyone even remember what that symbol is called anymore? Hint: It's not a "hashtag."

[@daveotuwa5596]

I remember this series! There was a spin-off.

[@thegenero6809]

thanks makeing feel old

[@dubya13207]

Bonus thing: Tommy is something of an homage to Tom Baker, the 4th Doctor of Doctor Who. Hence the screwdriver Another bonus: though I know they're saying "rathtar", I can't not think of Reptar while watching SW Ep. 7

[@Chrismasfish]

Here's a bonus BONUS thing I bet no one knew: Phil and Lil were voiced by the same person. So whenever they start arguing, it's just the actress yelling at herself back and forth. Additional bonus: their mother was voiced by same actress as well.

[@muderinc304]

You all should do more about 90's nick

[@jamesmillington4711]

I think that Cinefix would have such a fun time watching Avatar and Legend of Korra and doing an episode on it.

[@cammonnette1783]

My nostalgia is here

[@annajinx5858]

I grew up watching the rugrats

[@raigresham1298]

Wow, one where I actually knew everything. Applaud me.

[@brennareynolds8941]

Cool I used to love rugrats😍

[@MrTuffarts]

Aeon Flux was dreamt of while animating Rugrats

[@annery2701]

ALL THE NICKTOON!!! DO ALL THE NICKTOON!!!

[@theblack5kull]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Incredible story board jam.

[@gonzalocastaneda52]

Waiting for that Airborne!

[@fredr9867]

I forgot that the actress that voiced Chuckie passed away. Thanks CinaFix 😢

[@majormana1]

I turn 32 on turkeh day this year. I feel old at least once a day. I was 5 almost 6 when Rugrats came out.

[@Topknot]

Oh please do other Nicktoons!

[@OllyParryJones]

I think you have to do Doug now, after highlighting him early in the video. ;-)

[@user-xr3ph7xj9t]

Could you do an episode about Ocean's Eleven plz

[@VolvagiasBlaze]

how about TYDK about Courage the cowardly dog?

[@marleee.2174]

I used to be able to recite the entire script of Rugrats in Paris because I watched it so many times (that and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)

[@Johny40Se7en]

Shit, I didn't know Mark Mothersbaugh did the theme for it, him and his group Mutato Muzika are wicked, they did the music for loads of cool classics like Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter too ; )

[@NostalgicChamberProductions]

You should do 7 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know about Powerpuff Girls!

Thunderbirds!

[@peanutismint]

Yes Ren & Stimpy please!

[@veralidaine97]

What about all the Doctor Who refrences?! Tommy always has a screwdriver and his best friend is a ginger! There were actual Daleks too!
