This was my favorite part of my favorite Nickelodeon hit The Amanda Show, Moody's Point. It's what I remember most and they're probably my favorite YouTube videos to revisit when I'm feeling nostalgic. Here's my most quoted interaction.
If it's ever caught by anyone and not mistaken for my own youthful angst, that is a recipe for immediate friendship:
I wonder if shows like these, as well as the other child-sized Saturday Night Live sketch comedy shows (i.e. All-That and Kenan & Kel) have more of an influence on my sense of humor as well as the rest of my peers than we can control. We all seem to be into ironic humor that I find in the revisiting of these shows. Of course it can get loud, repetitive and terribly annoying in a way that only a child could enjoy, but if you skip around there's some real gold to be found.
The same may be said for some moral lessons found in cartoons I would watch, Hey Arnold! being an especially loaded one upon revisitation. Not to say there wasn't great comic value in those, too.
This may explain the apparent "gap" in the understanding of humor from generation to generation. Just thinking aloud.
Anyway, please enjoy some Moody's Point and my very first brooding, mysterious crush, Sternum.
