Growing up in the 90s, some channels you probably watched included Cartoon Network, The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Some great cartoons aired during this decade, but were we aware at the time of the subliminal messages behind these cartoons?
I'm talking about two cartoons in particular. Rocko's Modern Life and Ren & Stimpy. Nowadays people will tell you that these cartoons were really weird but awesome nonetheless. Of course we found them weird when we were kids. We were too young to actually understand what the hell was going on.
Rocko's Modern Life was full of double entendres and sexual innuendos, as can be seen here.
Ren & Stimpy was full of violence where Ren would break down into fits of psychosis and gleefully plot to kill Stimpy. There was also a great use of toilet humor, strong language and sexual innuendo which eventually led to the show being recast as Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon". There was even a more explicit homosexual relationship between them during this era. Here are some of the greatest Ren & Stimpy moments.
Well there you have it. These cartoons probably fucked up my generation where they were popular, especially in the United States. That explains a lot.

Fix the links, the videos have been removed. Can't say I remember any sexual connotations in rockos modrn life but I did find it weird.
As for Ron and Stinky, I mean Ren and Stimpy, I used to love that show. And yeah, extreme violence, a lot of psychological trauma and some sexual jokes ^_^ Ahh the good old days.
Fuck I hate Youtube.
