Captain K'Nuckles - Maple Syrup Shivers

This is something simple I threw together. Something about the 'shivering after drinking maple syrup' always made me laugh so I wanted to share the parts I found with you. Hope this brightens up your day. ^_^

they portrayed alcoholism so well in this show i love it.

[@JohnMegacycle]

And made it kid-friendly enough so that parents can get the inside joke, without spoiling their children's delicate views on the world. 😁

[@Paladen_X]

I thought this was funny as a kid now everytime I see bubbie and k'nuckles I always think of a divorced couple, an alchoalic father, and an over protective mother

Rewatching this show, has made me recognize that Captain Ka’nuckles is actually a damaged fellow. It’s why he acts kinda cold, or insensitive at times. Deep down, he’s very insecure: and knows that FlapJack is the true friend he has never had. But because of past issues, Ka’nuckles is not always good at being a good friend back, to FlapJack. He doesn’t know how to be. Ka’nuckles is pretty tragic if you think about it.

[@JohnMegacycle]

It's a good analysis and quite accurate. When he lashes out, I feel bad for him since it's the only outlet he has found to work. Also, finding Candy Island would certainly be the end of Captain K'Nuckles.

[@thebluerock6048]

I think he realized flapjack as his true friend later down the line...meaning he was using/taking advantage of flap in the beginning....he still does throughout the show.

[@austinharvey7644]

All this time I thought it was a sugar rush

[@loganentertainment1814]

Looking at this now, the candy barrel not only shows how candy can be bad if you eat too much of it, but its also a PG 13 way of talking about alcohol. It also perfectly portrays how being an alcoholic is very dangerous and damaging to a person. This was one of those shows that I really appreciate when I look at it now. Even as a kid, I didn’t understand the candy barrel and Knuckles syrup addiction, but looking at it now, I can see the message that it’s trying to give. That is, if there was a message that it was trying to tell us.

[@zenos02]

Yeah even K'Nuckles even gives a subtle hint about how bad his addiction is in one episode a side character has an inanimate object as a friend which confuses Flapjack to which K'Nuckles replies "There's all kinds of Friends, Boy" before pulling out his Maple Syrup and taking a big swig before putting it back into his coat pocket and patting the bottle like a puppy and repeating "All Kinds"
