Angora Napkin


I grew up on Ren & Stimpy, Rocco's Modern Life, Ahhh! Real Monsters and a bunch of other Nickelodeon 80s-90s classics. In the 2000s however, I feel like Nick has definitely lost that animated edge it once had. You know, the crude kind of raw subtle-yet-in-your-face humor. Sponge Bob does retain some of that scatological quality to it. It's definitely made for young demos, but works nicely across older age groups.

Now here is Angora Napkin! It's only the opening credits but it's sure to make you want to watch the series. It pretty much brings the arbitrariness of the likes of South Park and Family Guy, and mixes it up with a girly-grotesque-Ren&Stimpy-feel. Right now, its running in Canada's Teletoon- Detour Pilot Project, where different shows get voted on and the winner gets greenlit. So far Angora isn't doing so well compared to the other shows but hopefully some miracle will happen and Angora will go on the air SOMEWHERE! Watch the pilot episode from the Teletoon DETOUR website here. (PS - Dolphinboy is a total sketchball, but he'd probably be my friend.)
