So this was one of those childhood ruining things for me. So this was one of those childhood ruining things for me. I hadn't seen this in over two decades. Who are you going to call nostalgia busts? Right? Your childhood was ruined. Me, me, me, me, me. My childhood.

Hold the second. Is Slimer here? Yeah. Meem, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, bha. Oh, Slimer's childhood was ruined. That's why he's dead. Oh, yeah. Do you think Slimer was like a Casper ghost?

And he was like, oh, and then it was cold, and then I went to sleep. And then when I woke up, I was a big, fat green blob. No, Slimer was a Casper ghost. He was in really great shape and cute and everything. But then they made his, they remade his, his favorite movie with women and he turned into a green disgusting monster. Welcome to Animation Damnation. I'm Andrew Jupin alongside Eric Siska and Steven Sadek.

We're talking about an episode of the real Ghostbusters. The real Ghostbusters. That's right. Wait, so it's the real Ghostbusters. Yeah, that's right. But they're less real than a live action Ghostbusters. In my book, I know the Ghostbusters are fiction. Yeah.

Right? But there's flesh and blood, human beings. portraying them. This is, oh, my God, someone with a knife to their back, draw on a cartoon. And that's real? That's more real. No, this was, no, you're misunderstanding. As usual, you are misunderstanding what's going on here. There was also a cartoon man called Ghostbusters. Wait, no, there was a filmation. Wasn't there a live action show called Ghostbusters? Yeah, that cartoon was of that. And that was really stupid. I I remember, I don't know if I saw the cartoon.

I did. There's a gorilla involved. I saw a lot of it. Cartoons with gorillas you could fucking keep. Dude, I've seen a lot of that cartoon. It's really fucking wacky. They go through this like weird contraption to get put in their ghost busting suits. Sure.

There's kind of a magic car involved. It's fucking terrible. And it's not like, like Ghostbuster suits like we know today. No. It's like 70s jump suits. Yeah, a lot of like. like just newspaper, raincoat man things. Because I think that old, awesome Mickey Mouse cartoon

is also called Ghostbusters. Isn't it Quackbusters or something? The Quackbusters was... I think you're thinking about Steamboat Willie. Quackbusters was the weird mid-80s thing that they put out just as a parody of Ghostbusters, which was like a, hey, here's some fucking found footage,

go watch it. But there was that awesome one where Mickey... Mickey Goofy and... I have to keep filming! A cartoon's being murdered on camera. That big red monster is like a Cloverfield. Oh, yeah, totally. Donald Duck, a Daffy Duck is just staring in the corner.

The episode in question, by the way, is They Call Me Mr. Slimer. Original air date, September the 18th, 1986. Can we get into the fucking slimer thing, everybody? Oh, yeah, that's the most repugnant-ass part of this cartoon is he's like, he's the guy. He's the star. And then there's four Ghostbusters, one of which is voiced by Arsenio Hall. And Stephen, you had a bit of trivia.

Did you find it in the IMDV Tribune? I found it the Wikipedia today. The Wikipedia today. Yeah, I get it every morning. It's in a nice glossy magazine format. Um, no, it's, it's apparently, it's 70,000 pages. And it's always wrong. No.

Apparently, Ernie Hudson is the only actor from the movie to audition for the role of his cartoon character and he lost out. Oh. So Ernie, there's a Ghostbusters cartoon coming out. The Ghostbusters is a huge phenomenal success. A part of, Ernie Hudson was a part of. And he shows up and he's like, hey, man, that's me. Give me my money. I'll do me.

Yeah, I could do me for, I could do me, Mark. You know what I mean? But that is insane. Like, why wouldn't they let him just do it? I feel like, one, the finger thing means the money. Yeah. Two, I feel like if you have the only original dude, you have to, like, Winston would be the guy, right? Winston and the Ghostbuster.

And they were like, oh, I don't think so. Oh, we're going in a different direction. Yeah, we're going to hire the Woot, Woot, Woot Guy from Late Night TV. Not even that, the guy, let's get that guy, that funny guy from coming to America. Yeah, you're totally right. Were either of those out yet in 87?

I think coming to America, my own, I don't know. We might have to check the Tribune. I thought it was out by now. If that's not the case, then where the hell did Arsenio Hall come from? Magic Johnson House doing cocaine? Because that happened in the 80s. Oh, absolutely. It was showtime, baby.

I was so disheartened watching this man. And by the way, you can find a ton of this show, along with the also obnoxious extreme ghostbusters on Crackle. So there's something. For all of you people who don't care about Sports Jeopardy, here's another thing on Crackle that you can watch and be disappointed. Sports! Jeopardy! Yikes.

Speaking of Jeopardy, the answer to Arsenio Hall was this was actually kind of his first bigger credit was it really doing this cartoon coming to america came out in 1988 oh he started on the cartoon in 86 wow shit yeah and that was and his late night talk show what this can't be right wait oh wait i'm looking at actor is it is the tribune giving you false information no i just think i think um hosting a tv show he he might be listed as himself. Oh, I see. Yes, exactly.

So, all right, let me trick the bottom rings of Arsenio's. I don't remember the Arsenio Hall. Was Jason his sidekick, Jason Voorhees? Dude, that is a great, like, eight-minute YouTube video. You can look up of this poor talk show host trying his hardest to have a conversation with a guy playing Jason. That happened on Oprah Winfrey, which I was super excited about when the Ninja Turtles were on. Do you remember that? I do remember that.

I watched the only episode of Oprah Winfrey I watched before I was like, you know, whatever age. And it was... When you aged out of watching Oprah? Or I think I aged into it, actually. But she's like... Ninja Turtles! Oh, and then Shredder showed out, but it was a big problem.

Did he kidnap Oprah? So, Arsircad, the first iteration of that late-night talk show, was 1989. Oh, wow. Okay, yeah, that's right. And ended in 94. He also had a second iteration from 2013. to 2014. That was a train wreck. Which I watched almost every

episode. Oh, bravo. Dude, that thing was a living nightmare. It really was. For everyone involved. It was the best because I'm like, whew. That is a nice shirt, Skoy. It makes you look like a homosexual. You suck, McBain.

Oh, maybe it is that you are all homosexual too. So anyway, this episode, man, this episode, here's the brief to boil down. compartmentalized... Is this the crackle synopsis? It's the crackle synopsis.

Slimer becomes a bodyguard for a nerd. Go from there. How old is this kid supposed to be? Great question. The animation's awful. Oh, Meg. Honestly, I did not realize it looked this bad.

You forget. Oh, my God, it's trash. Your childhood was trash. So who gives a fucking But also, Crackle is using this, like, standard deaf. I mean, Crackle can barely fucking stream video, man. I don't know. Like, this thing's owned by... Yeah, you're right.

I think it is, because it's going to be fucking crackling the entire time you're watching it. Let's name it after the candy bar that nobody likes. Oh, now let's hold on a second. Yeah, Crackle's pretty good. I love Crackles. But that's Crackle with a K. Yeah, that's true.

That dude in the lost world loved Crackles. He did before it was too late. who's trying to stream Joe Dirt 2 and he died Yeah there's another thing you can watch Exclusively Or like one episode of Seinfeld They do that weird thing on Crackle where it's like

Hey here's two episodes of Mad about you Bye Yeah I think that's With Seinfeld at least that's over with Now that Hulu's got them all Oh I see And you can just watch it like a human being And enjoy it

Gotta catch them all So Slymer becomes Basically Speaking of the Simpsons sort of it's the poochie model with slimer because when slimer's not on screen all of their characters have to be asking hey where slimer like there's a part where where jeanine is like hey dr vancman have you seen slimer it's the b plot of the episode the a plot is slimer as his kid's bodyguard the b plot is hey where did slimer go and that is all started because jeanine's like hey ghostbusters uh you're in the red again this month and it's like Vankman decides to, like, turn this and make it slimer's fault for eating them out of house and home. It's like, no, dude, you pay rent on a full fucking firehouse every month. Let's start there.

Yeah, it's kind of a Donald Trump scheme, right? You know what I mean? Like, find the convenient scapegoat and just point the finger at slimer. Yep, until he's pushed right out of that firehouse. Like, you know, so like, then you... Man, the Ghostbusters filing for Chapter 11? Totally. I could see it happening.

Yeah. And they just blame it on slimer. Get him out of here. We've got to build a wall. Yeah, I can see the country filing for Chapter 11. He's done it before. Yeah. But so they're like, hey, Slimer, why don't you pull your weight around here?

And I'm like, excuse me, Ghostbusters. I think you're talking to a ghost. You have a weird, tenuous relationship with a ghost. Don't, I don't even, what do you expect from him? But that's the thing is like, is it a buddy or is he a dog that you have? Or is he an employee? Because this seems like he's an employee. Yeah.

does that's why because he's like you're not pulling your weight you got to start earning money and it's like he's once you die you don't have to earn money anymore that's the great part about death seriously can i finally stop worrying about debt yeah but he's all he's just like a traitor he's a traitor to his to his ghostly brother yeah he's he's he's uh chasing him down yeah he knows where all the ghost hot spots are he's giving you tips isn't he that i think that's not a Yeah, I think you're right. He's a real turncoat. Yeah, it's disgraceful.

He's not fit to wear that slime. He is voiced, of course, by everybody's favorite, and the only voice actor ever alive, Frank Welker. Dude, Welker is all over this episode. There's a scene where Welker's just talking to himself. Well, he's also doing the voice of Ray. So he's like, hey, slimer. And it's like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Yes, Slimer does. it's basically like a ghostly Scooby-Doo. Sure. Like how Scooby like barely speaks English. That's what we got going on here. But the problem is... Oh, they're both high all the time? Oh, man.

I wish. Just the Ghostbusters being high as a kite. That's what Vancomen's upset about. Someone's getting into the green and it's got to be that little fucking ghost. You know, that's why he's glowing green. Slimer, I'm trying to sling this on the streets of Chinatown. And you keep fucking smoking it all, man.

What do I keep telling you? don't get high on your own supply. Oh, I'm sorry, Garfield. Hey, Slimer, I got some great weed and a couple of cool VHS tapes from Kings because it's before America ruined St. Mark's place. Oh, R-I-P-D Kim's, man. Yeah, that was a great place. We're going to close down all those video stores.

Get them the fuck out of here. Those good are then the cool video stores. Those video stores have no respect for the police stores. apartment. Those video stories haven't talked about 9-11. He's kind of

looking like slimer these days that Rudy Giuliano Oh, but he is day by day melting bit by bit. Someone put him in a containment unit. Just get him over that trap

and fucking push that button, man. Suck him right in. You know when I was responsible for 9-11? I mean, 9-11. Oh, they found

out happened happened on his watch just saying on his watch i mean if it was a controlled demolition i imagine he was lived in wrong show oh no what what this is info worst this is infowars dot com man when's that guy gonna have a big fat asshole heart attack and die soon yeah i can't wait oh he's alex jones is kind of like slimer he oh he looks a lot like slimer too you're right you could barely understand and say catch him in bed with a cop Goblin vomit Oh man Now that no one's listening

So Slimer's like Me I'll go get a job I guess is what we're watching He's turning tricks on the street Oh dude that would be great If he's just sucking and fucking To make the rent for the Ghostbusters Everybody's talking at me

So the plot of this episode Is this nerd kid who's presumably in high school Presumably But this drawing looks like... I thought it was Rick Moranis for a second. Yeah. I was like, I didn't think they had Lewis Tully in this cartoon. I did too.

So he's getting bullied. Yeah, because he's got the audacity to buy comic books. And Slimer, who's now out on the streets trying to make his own way... However that is. However it goes. He sees a troubled teen. Yep. Says, how do I latch on to this situation?

And takes a job being his bodyguard. Yeah, and Slymer says that it's like, what, $12 for half and half? A.J. is cheaper, though. Ratso Slymer, man. That's what it is. Oh, yikes. So, yeah, this kid's like, man, I wish I had someone to protect me. And, like, Slimer while, like, you know, pondering the afterlife's possibilities here is like... Of unemployment, I guess.

Yeah, he's, like, floating down the street. And this gang, like, the jet. are like harassing this boy Sure Exactly right They snap all his comic books down And they see this ghost and like run off They see this ghost and they run off

And so he's like Oh say I got an idea I could pay you to be my bodyguard And I'm like Question Where the fuck are the Ghostbusters Yeah how about that Thought I tuned into a show

Called the Real Ghostbusters What's this week's case That's what I mean that's what Why this show was sort of why I love this show as a kid for two reasons. One, I get to hang out with my Ghostbusters every week. Two, it gave me action figures that I could play

with. Action figures out the ass from this cartoon. With incorrect hair coloring. Yeah, oh yeah. Just, you know. Just bug me as a kid. As a kid, I was always like, nope. I was like, why does Egon have this fucking gross rat tail? I mean, it's also

a very flattering rendition of Bill Murray, I'll tell you that much. Bill Murray's never had that much hair. And not that chiseled chin even my goodness gracious dan acroids a redhead now yeah they draw race dance like a fat irish cop in this cartoon i don't get it oh slimer move it along now i'm a ghost buster so they're nowhere to be found they are and he goes back to this kid's house they work up a scary visage uh he does wind up paying slimer some money and i need to see that negotiation yeah i know

20 bucks. But is it like a day? Is it per protection? Yeah, per scare? What are we talking about? All we know is we got back to the Ghostbusters and they open an envelope and there's like, because the drawing's terrible,

we can't tell what the actual currency is really, but it looks to be about four singles in there. Covered in slime so they're useless. The one question I would always, like, if I'm talking to a ghost, If I get to a good conversation with a friendly, doughy, John Belushi-esque, Frank Welker, ghost. I'm like, yo, dude, does Heaven and Hell exist or what? Like, why doesn't anyone ever just, that's my first question.

Like, well, it's with all these things, man. No one responds appropriately to seeing a monster. And everyone sees a monster. No one in the Ghostbusters verse in any of the movies, I haven't seen the new one, but I presume that you're only seeing the monsters, which confirms that there's only hell. Oh, I see. There is no heaven at all. The movie is all malicious ghosts.

It's all because heaven is, when heaven is full, Steve, the dead will walk the earth. That's right. That's goddamn right. Yeah. Wow, it had a dark turn for that new movie. Well, we're all damned. By the way, we probably won't do an on screen of the new movie. Andrew saw it.

Nobody else did. I want to see it, but I was out of town last week. Yeah, we were doing the live show in Rochester. I'm going to see it this coming weekend. Andrew has seen it, Andrew, you're two cents. Yeah, because, yeah, we're going on summer break. The on screen's not going to happen. I know a lot of people have been asking about it.

My pants are unbuttoned already, man. It's senioritis right now. Oh, I'm doing this episode in a bathing suit. It's summer day night. Summer day night. Listen, yeah, my wife and I saw it last night. I truly really liked it. I thought it was really fucking funny.

I thought Kate McKinnon, my God, I'm in love with her. She steals the show. She's always been such a... She steals this movie, I'll say, in every shot that she's in, she's doing something. That's gone. You know what I mean?

There's never, like, she's just looking at someone listening, waiting for her line. Like, she's always fucking doing something. And, you know, yeah, it's structured exactly like the other two Ghostbusters movies. Wow, what...

Does that mean it's a Ghostbusters movie? Wait, hold on a second. Does that mean it's my Ghostbusters movie? It turns out it's all of our Ghostbusters movies. You know what I mean? Well, my question is how is your... So you saw it last night. How's your childhood doing?

Is it okay? Is it still alive? Is it dead? It turns out it's okay. I got home. My Ghostbusters Blu-ray was right on the shelf where I left it. It didn't evaporate? I checked IMDB, dude.

Turns out both of those movies are still on the record. Hold on a second. I thought if you saw this movie, your copies of the old Ghostbusters and your cargo shorts would vanish. vanish. Yeah, it turns out that's totally not true. There's a rumor going on online that once you watch this movie, you can't digest combos anymore? I think that's what everybody's

so upset about. Actually, the truth of the matter is, Steve, I did get a letter in the mail today. It's now, they traced my credit card. They saw that I bought tickets for Ghostbusters 2016, and now time to turn in your man card. No, even worse, dude, it's against the law for me to buy Doritos.

Dude, I couldn't believe it. If I know, I would have got one last bag in. That is not cool ranch. Yeah, the thing was like, you can eat all that you have in the house because presumably you got a lot stocked up, you fat fuck. But no buying more Doritos. That was the thing.

So it was a fun movie. It was an enjoyable comedy. Very funny movie. It's cool seeing Ghostbusters. From our perspective of being in the New York comedy community, it's really fucking cool to see a ton of people that we, seem to improv in a basement being a fucking Ghostbusters

movie. Like so many people that are in that cast. Big Neil Casey fan. Can't wait. Neil Casey's the bad guy in it. You got an awesome, hilarious Zach Woods cold open. There's a lot of good shit going on. The third act is like a little bit whatever, but like all the

cameos from the guys are there. It's, you know, it's cool. You know, I totally, it's not a perfect movie, but like nothing's perfect, you know? It's better or worth that second movie, in retrospect. It is better than Ghostbusters 2. It would almost have to be.

I said that coming out of the theater. It is Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 16, Ghostbusters 2. No fucking question about that to be had. And you know the awesome thing and, you know, whatever about this, but like, we left the theater. There was a big fucking cardboard standee for Ghostbusters. And there were two parents taking pictures of their two daughters in front of the Ghostbusters thing.

And they were going fucking crazy about it. And I was like, see, that's awesome. So, you know what? Yeah. Get your combos, stick them up your little fucking butthole, and just get on with your life. Ooh, I know what I'm doing tonight. Oh, yeah, a little fucking combo anima. Ooh, pizza burns so good.

Man. So. I'm going to chew mine up a little bit first. Oh, that's a good idea. I don't want that rough pretzel. No, do you get that surface area spread out a little more? Yeah, I want to pack as much as I can. animation damnation brought to you by combo dust enemas

stuff one today animation damnation has been canceled so these bullies get humiliated by slimeer being slightly scary because they also realize that the afterlife exists which is you know it's a lot to handle for bullies oh my god mortality they just run away Maron life is not a flat circle

holy shit so whatever They make a deal with these Troll people. He's like, hey man, I know my dad told me about this abandoned subway line, which apparently there's just nothing but abandoned subway lines. Just this city is filled with miles of abandoned subways.

That's right. We've got to fix it. I fixed it all. There's no more. I got those goddamn critters that of the subway system. Now the voting Trump. So, G. Judds are Trump's voting bloke. Yeah, without a doubt. That's

why he almost was on the VP tickets. I could deliver you all the chuds, 100% of the chud. You want a chud? I'll get you a chud. The Ninja Turtles did 9-11. The chudds tried to stop the whole thing. I was there. I was in the abandoned subway stay through when it happened. Now I'm melting.

I fucking hate that piece of shit. So this disgusting these disgusting goblin creatures. We should say, by the way, Like, these are, these are monsters. Yeah, we got to get that detail. Indeed. They're not ghosts.

They're not dead things. Even later on Egon, in one of the few things he's able to say that doesn't say fucking slimeer in it, says, oh, these are like akin to trolls and blah, blah, blah. They're monsters. And they are so ugly. Oh, my Lord. They kind of look like Blanca mixed with whammies. Yeah. You nailed it.

I thought they looked like critters, those little toilet monsters. Oh, yeah. I've never seen any of those movies. Oh, yeah, dude. Critters or Goolies? They're kind of like Goolies, too. Goolies 3? Goolies go to college, I believe. You think that's why Goolies hang out is they

think you're going to be shitting out combos and they're waiting for it? Yeah. Thank you for bringing up the Goolies franchise because go to college ruined my childhood. You're like, these little monsters shouldn't get higher education. Exactly. I'm a goolies one guy. You know what? Ruin my childhood? My parents'

divorce. Yeah. Yeah. And that's Not so much women being in cartoon movies that I had when I was a baby. You know what I mean? Hey, Steve, guess what? I've got breaking news. What's that? Next summer, Eric and I are remaking your parents' divorce. Not with all women.

Oh, yeah, dude. Yep. Wait, what? All women, Steve's parents getting divorced. It's happening. Summer 2017. Oh, man, it's going to ruin my childhood. The wounds are going to be ripped right open.

We'll give you a bag of combos. So whatever. They hire these guys... Goblin vomit. They hire these little goblins. Thank you, Alex Jones. And they say, oh, hey, now we got ghosts. They lure this kid to a fucking warehouse,

which it seems like this kid's going to get his throat. They're like, oh, hey, we're all friends now. Come on to this warehouse. Come on, Joe Pesci. You're going to finally be a maid man. Yes. Seriously. It's guys like, oh, well, that's great.

Hey, Slimer, you hang out over here. But at this point, the Ghostbusters are driving around. They happen upon it. Also, yeah, like, slimer as this kid's bodyguard has to defend this kid against this troll army. Right. And, wait, hold on a second. Ghostbusters having to defend themselves against the troll army sounds like the internet. But so Glymer makes a bat out of his own flesh, which I guess is slime.

Is he like pulling a hunk off of his gut and like shaping it? He does. It's disgusting. Oh, man. It's disgusting. So he's like a blobby little green lantern creature. Yeah, he is. Yeah. Is he from Oa?

He might be Oa. Oh. Oh. Hey, Ryan Reynolds. It's going to do you know what destroyed his childhood was watching his dad explode in a plane crash. That's true, Hal George's. That did not have played a great. See our previous episode on The Green Lantern for more.

Live episodes coming up this summer, by the way, more of those. That's right. Whatever. So basically, the Ghostbusters, by the way, track them down due to, like, postage detective work. Because Slimer mails the Ghostbusters money so that he can come back. What the fuck? And everyone's like, oh, Peter, you fucking scumbag. Now look at this guy's turn to tricks on the street, giving us a slimy mailed envelope of $5.

Great. Lord knows what that little fucking goober had to do for that. That slime ain't green. Hey. Hey, Egon, is this

is this slime is slime or is this his Johns? Oh, yay, a yummy science experiment. Oh, they do track it

to the whichever post office it's from. And unfortunately, it's from Hunts Point. Oh, no. Really? No,

no. There's a lot of prostit at Hunts Point. The ghost, Yeah, I was going to say the Ghostbusters aren't going to Queens. Wait, no, is it the Bronx? There's Bronx, Hunts Point, and there's Hunters Point. Oh, you said Hunts Point?

Hunts Point. Hunts Point's point in the Bronx. Oh, yeah, that's where the hookers are. Hunter's Point's got nice microbrewery. He said a totally different animal. I'm going to get the prostitutes out and the microbrewer within. Keep me relevant! Talk about a fucking ghostbuster. I'm just saying we need a temporary ban on Ninja Turtles.

I saw the mountain jers. Jersey City, they were celebrating thousands of Ninja Turtles. God. So whatever, the Ghostbusters come and start lighten these fucking trolls up and this is to the point though. Yes. These dudes would be fucking on fire, right?

Like, if you hit, if you hit popping like zits. If you hit a fucking corporeal being with a proton back, it's lighten up, dude. Totally. You ever put a critter in a microwave? Look out. I have. Splat City. You ever put a combo in a microwave? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, melts it right down. That might be good to get it nice and warm when you're shoving it up there. Dude, the surface area. Yeah. So they bust these ghosts. They put them in a trap, which doesn't make sense. Nope. Because they're not shown to be...

These things have to walk through walls. That's what I need to see. But they don't show that. No, because they're just little monsters that have been haunting this abandoned subway tunnel. And they are disgusting, so I'm glad they die. Well, I guess... Because they weren't dead. They're not ghosts.

No, they're the creatures. So now they've got to deal with ghosts now. Oh, great. Right. Now you killed them. Now there's like, ghost ghosts. A possibility of repercussions. Oh, man.

Troll ghosts. Yeah, you don't want that. No. And, you know, everyone's like, oh, I'm so sorry, Slimer. You shot us the error of our ways. You saw or something. And then it just ends with Slimer chasing Vankman down the street. Yeah, it's like the lesson of the story is don't ask anyone to chip in.

and shut the fuck up. Well, I've learned that lesson. Hanging out with you fucking scumbags. Listen, don't ask someone to, like, throw money into your business who's not affiliated with the fucking business. I'm not a fucking partner. It's not like he's got a bedroom. Like, he's just, he's a ghost.

He's haunting the office. I never understood how was anyone paying Janine? And everyone, that's always a question with Ghostbusters. The Ghostbusters are always fucking ass backwards into fucking rent and all this shit. And then you have a firehouse that has nuclear power powering it. Right, but it was

before I cleaned up New York. So it was dirt cheap. Oh, yeah. You could do that in Dickens, in Dickens, New York. Yeah, dude, a downtown, Chinatown firehouse, fucking forget it.

And I guarantee she was tempter perm, man. Oh, right. We'll see how this goes, Gene. Let's get through the first movie. That is one of the greatest long cons in history. Tempter per. Yeah, someone hires you as tempter perm. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. Don't hold your breath. Yeah, I hope you don't ever have to see a doctor in your life. Was anybody embarrassed watching this? Oh, big time. This is the longest 20 minutes of my life. Yeah, it feels like an hour and a half. And I just felt like a jerk being a little kid loving this thing.

You know what I mean? But I mean, I even, I aged out of it, A, and B, I never liked Slymer on this show. The Slymer's got like two great gags in those first Ghostbusters. movies you know what I mean like and I'm sure he's in the new one I'm sure he's got fucking tits because they all gotta have tits in that movie right they they they they very I thought cleverly tie this slimer to the fact that the original one was joked around to be the ghost of John Belushi I'm sure I'm sure it's great through a very funny animal house reference well um I did not like this episode I did not like seeing it again actually as a kid

I was not even that into this show. I would sometimes watch it. I would sometimes not watch it. I was kind of put off by the fact that these weren't my ghost buster. Even back then, you were flying that flag, huh? Yeah, but the cure to it is just, if you don't, like, I wasn't protesting it.

I just didn't watch it. Turned out, that was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. There you go. I was all in on these cartoons, man. I, every fucking toy that came out, I had it. the firehouse place. Oh, the firehouse was the best in the world. Oh, Jesus Christ. See, that's the thing is if I got some toys, I might have been into it.

I mean, I was obsessed with it. I will say that, you know, the point of AD is always finding, like, the episodes that don't fit the norm. Like, I kind of the thing that sucks is I have to put up with crackle. But, like, I do. I'm curious, like, if I get, like, an actual

Ghostbusters episode. It's true. I'm sure it's still terrible, but it's probably not this terrible. Because I like the Ghostbusters in it, you know? Well, eventually it became Didn't they call it like Slimer in the Real Ghostbusters? They did, yeah. That's when you just got a fucking tune right out, you know? But like if you go to like the first, I don't know, 20 episodes maybe, see what's going on.

I seem to remember an episode where they do go to like Transylvanian Battle Dracula. I love the one where they go in the side of containment unit or I remember the one when they go inside of containment. That's the one I want to find on Crackle. See what the deal is there. I need a tall glass of water. I don't know if all them are on Crackle, so just be aware of it. Tread lightning. Don't worry, it's interacting with crackle.

I'm prepared to be let down. That's animation damnation on The Real Ghostbusters. The episode was They Call Me Mr. Slimer, yikes, from September the 18th, 1987. If you want more, we hate movies, check out WHMpodcast.com. Until next time, I'm Andrew Jupin. Stephen Seda. Eric Siska. Take it easy.

Thank you.
