Top 3 Underrated Nickelodeon Cartoons
We all know the usual suspects… the Hey Arnold’s and Doug Funny’s, the Rugrats and Rocko’s modern life and who can forget the definitely inappropriate for kids, gold standard of Ren and Stimpy. But what cartoons deserve a little more credit for how awesome they were? They were unique, creative and definitely a little unhinged. The deep cut trading co. team thought long and hard on this one and here is where we landed on our Top 3 Underrated Nickelodeon Cartoons.
Aaahh!! Real Monsters was the unanimous number one choice for this list. Don’t lose your eyeballs over this one, I know it might make you feel icky but Aaahh!! Real Monsters was a gem of cartoon. This show combines the power of friendship with the chaotic nervous energy that every school-aged kid could identify with and if you were old enough to hit puberty… the body odor. What’s not to love about a monster academy set under a New York City dump? Don’t let the Gromble, with his fabulous footwear, catch you slacking off!
Thoughts on number two? We weren’t Stumped at all. Your two favorite irritated damn dwellers… the Angry Beavers! Whether you identify more with Daggett’s nervous energy or Norbert’s patronizing ways you can related to at least one if not both of these beavers, especially if you’re a sibling. Angry Beavers perfectly demonstrates the unhealthy dynamic that comes with a family - not sure if that’s a good thing. This show had a lot of easy slapstick laughs that could have definitely, maybe gone too far but it was chock full of clever moments.
Finishing off the list is the little alien who tried his little heart out but failed miserably pretty much every time… Invader Zim! I think we can all agree GIR may have been the best part but this show was obviously so much more than a feeble alien’s sidekick. This show had gags for days, turning Invader Zim’s crude understanding of earth and its creatures into laugh after laugh. Not convinced? Well maybe some time in "a room with a moose!" Will change your mind.
