The Real Ghostbusters: Halloween II 1/2 - Phelous

[@jongauthier9289]

I'd absolutely love a whole episode of Phelan just overdubbing Coulier Venkman's voice. That gets me every time

[@AbelGomez1987]

I would love an episode of Phelan overdubbing Coulier Venkman's voice on a Garfield episode "Aww, cut it out Odie!" lmao!

I love when you do Samhain's voice. Not gonna lie, I'd watch a Real Ghostbusters Abridged series if Phelous was in it.

[@captainautobots]

Hiiii Phelous, I'm a representative from Q5. 🙂 Just saw the review and have a few notes here, nothing too drastic. 1) You referred to Slimer as a "dead guy." 😏 Yeeeahhh, you can't use the "d-word" when talking about a kids cartoon about ghosts. How about calling him a funny, cute monster? 2) Rather than mentioning that the Junior Ghostbusters suck, could you instead say how cool you thought they were when you were a kid because they were so relatable? 😊 3) Last note, we're gonna need you to laugh a lot harder, or at all, at Coulier-Venkman's jokes to show the audience how funny you think he is. 🤣 Thaaaanks Phelous, I really think this will save your review. 😉 Oh, also please cut out those scenes of the show's writers criticizing the changes we made; could be a bad image. 😎

Hey Q5, we have the spirit of Lorenzo Music's Peter and Laura Summers Janine on the line here. They said they found the harddrives, and what Q5 kept on them, and are finally coming after you for it.

2:23 holy shit this is amazing. "I sold my soul to a minor demon" is now my go-to-line when dealing with the devil.

[@vgtrp]

It's sad how the "Don't ask me. I'm just a girl" line fits for Q5 Jeanine. As for the Junior Ghostbusters, I am shocked that they didn't take off. They were such fun and interesting characters and 1 of the many ideas thatQ5 had for fixing the show. . .from being good.

[@Kirkeyressa]

Last time I was this early, Peter was still voiced by Lorenzo Music.

13:56 Hearing Peter say that to the kids in a Homer voice; the looks on their faces, like "our hero just insulted us". That's hilarious.

[@troin3925]

Child characters as the main characters in animation _can_ work... You know, when they’re done _well_ or were _already_ the main characters and weren’t just added in for the sake of it!

[@gracekim25]

Yeah like Kids next door. Here they’re shoehorned in😅

[@davidspring4003]

Usually the story has to be ABOUT them instead of them being secondary characters that force themselves into the story. A lot of people find Robin, for example, annoying, but Batman's basically always had one, and not having one is kinda like The Doctor not having a companion

[@GreenDiablo]

If I had the time and skills, I'd draw a comic of Real Peter trading places with Dumb Peter. I can only imagine how hard the stupid will make him snap. Also that first Janine line just... it just hurt to hear

Masterful use of "Simpsons" clips. And I never really watched this show much as a kid but MY GOD the things you've shown me - Janine's transformation especially - so sad.

''We're the Junior Ghostbusters and we're not a afraid of no ghost!'' Ugh! Their utter failure to actually say that IN UNISON makes it even more painful to listen to.

[@Shades14]

There were things they could have done to fix it like cut the lines down so they'd sync better or even better, re-record their lines! I don't care if it would hurt the kid's feelings, this is voice acting. Sometimes retakes are required. But this was when they were clearly out of shits to give and the end result is an embarrassment for everyone involved.

[@c-puff]

This episode is... really painful. But like.. it has some really really nice animation and drawings in it too?? like 13:25 and 16:00. Those look REALLY nice! And that kinda upsets me that the content of the episode isn't better. Also I'm pretty sure the inclusion of child characters and how girls were handled in shows like these is why I, a girl, grew up to dislike female characters in cartoons pretty intensely. Thanks to characters like Webby, that brat in Tale Spin, and basically ALL of this. THANKS Q5!!! YOU MADE ME DISLIKE MY OWN GENDER'S REPRESENTATION!!

[@KOTEBANAROT]

I know right? The only girl character I liked in cartoons was Gadget from Chip n Dale, but she was too much of a side character to really make me feel included, ya know. it lowkey fucked me up for some time as i DREAMED about being a boy when I was like, 9, because girls are lame, yanno, they can't be MC, and everything girly is lame as fuck and if you like pink then you're just a fucking joke lmao

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodNitpicker]

What I find the most hilarious about this, is how exactly your comments in the first few minutes precisely match my own thoughts upon re-watching this episode yesterday for the first time in almost 30 years. I had always remembered this as one of my favorite episodes, or at least one of the more memorable ones from what I considered the second half of the series. However, I could never remember how “sam hain” got out of the containment unit within the first few minutes of the show. Now I see why. I must have immediately completely mentally edited out the junior Ghostbusters and Slimer from this episode. I had no memory of them being in it at all, which basically eliminates the whole first 10 minutes. So in my mind, it jumped right to him getting out of the containment unit. LOL Upon re-watching, this went from one of the episodes I thought that I remembered liking the most, to one I wish I had never seen ever. Another major inconsistency-as if consistency mattered by this point-didn’t we learn in Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood, that the containment unit required the voice print of one of the main four guys in order to access the controls? I know they violated this numerous times throughout the series, but in an episode like this, it is even more glaringly a problem than usual. Plus I grew up loving containment unit episodes, as I watched the show initially and primarily because of the pseudoscience and was a huge Egon fan, so this one was particularly painful.

20:18 Presumably with all the ghosts heading towards the Ghostbusters, Samhain's powers weakened enough for him to drop the shield. This is why he was sucked back into the containment unit so easily. He's pretty powerful on his own, bu having all those ghosts at his disposal makes him that much stronger. Yes, the key stone falling was the unit being opened back up and sucking them all back in. It was sure nice to see the goblins finally get blasted after getting away clean in the first episode.

[@BloodrealmX]

"... to introduce _Slimer & The Junior Ghostbusters."_ That... could actually have been a decent spinoff idea in order to implement the ideas Q5 shoved into the network executives' heads. Certainly better than destroying The Real Ghostbusters and making that separate Slimer show, and it would mean having the Junior Ghostbusters as lead characters in their own right rather than aggressively intruding on the show that is supposed to be about the Ghostbusters. It's kinda weird they _had_ to make the car body PVC piping. It's probably a better way to make it than with wooden boards (as long as the pipes are fastened properly and not just plugged together), and it looks better, too. I Google Translated some of the Japanese on Egon's diagram of the tower, and it appears there's things like "I have a ghost" (I think labeling the entrance) and "It's good for pumpkin" (labeling the top, maybe where Sam Hain likes to be?) on the first set of labels, some things about colours in the second set of labels, including light blue, blue, dark brown, and red, and the last set of labels has the exclamations "Crazy...!", "YA AHH STOP", "Please!", and "A... I-- feel good!". The labels on the firehouse diagram just after the tower seems to have "I'm glad I'm wrinkled" (I'm guessing one of the words was perhaps spaced incorrectly or had phonetically-written English, because that can't be right, can it?), just "YAAHOOO !!", and "that's it" (queue crumpling paper?). These whimsical margin doodles don't seem like the kind of thing Egon would have written; maybe Ray drew the graphic for him.

The Junior Ghostbusters never bothered me at all, because OF COURSE the Ghostbusters would have fanclubs of nerdy kids all over the place wanting to emulate them. That was true in real life! It wasn't like the Ghostbusters took them out on jobs with them, they were just a fanclub that was lucky enough to be local so the guys kind of adopted them as mascots.

But children wanted to like grow up to be Peter, Winston, Egon or Ray. Not a fan club of cartoon children. You’re probably in the minority with this take, mate
