What the FUCK was going through their heads when they wrote this?

>>89368295
>hating clowns
so what else is new

>>89368295
That even if you're "innocent", someone has to pay for the crime.

>>89368295
Looks like we got a clown apologist here, boys...
How bout you git back in ur tiny car and go back to the circus, HONKY!

>>89368295
It was just a joke. People take things too seriously. The same fuckers who complain about SJWs ruining cartoons by overthinking some aspects of them are doing the same.

I don`t think this joke could be done nowadays, or back in the eighties, but PPG was something of a groundbreaking show.

>>89368416
It's been forever since I've seen this episode, so my memory is super blurry, but did everyone being drained of color and emotion actually do much of anything beside make them feel like shit? Did anyone die? Was property damaged? Did the mime/clown steal something while people were apathetic?

I mean, what crime actually took place aside from being a fucking downer?
Again, I BARELY remember this episode so fuck me if I'm forgetting something huge.

It was a joke. In all honesty, it was very tamed compared to shit Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends pulled.

It's because the Powerpuff girls have no idea that he was just corrupted by THE HEART, and thus saw him as just another supervillain

>>89368295
They out of nowhere beat the shit out of a guy who was doing wrong only because he wasn't in his right mind.

It was meant to be mean-spirited.
They were able to pull it off in that way that made it funny.
There are numerous other occasions where they were needlessly brutal and violent, but that was part of the humor. It's not for everyone. I guess it wasn't for you. But I loved it.

>>89368481
I think the main thing that bothered people is that before they beat the shit out of him, he returned to normal and thanked them for bringing his color back.

>>89368577
That's what made it funny.

See >>89368558

>>89368438
how about me and my three dozen friends pile into your wife's vagina?

>>89368295
It was just funny.
You think he gets cured and everything works out fine and then BAM, straight to jail. Classic comedy turn.

>>89368295
One of the writers said they literally had no idea how to end the episode. It was just originally meant to be a feelgood musical episode, but the ending didn't feel right to them.

>>89368473
>Was property damaged?
Bubbles' crayons and intelectual properity is regards to music and art.

It wasn't done because it was "funny", it was done because executives forced them to have the "bad guy" at the end of every episode back then get punished.

That usually wasn't a problem, but for special cases like this, it was.
Hell, he even ends up working for one of their parties in a later episode, so the writers themselves clearly didn't agree with it.

>all these people upset at the ending
Did you all forget that he was at the Powerpuff's birthday party? Dude was in jail for like a month max, and that's perfectly reasonable considering nobody knew anything about what had happened to him, for all they knew Mr. Mime might resurface at any given moment.

>>89368295
The joke was that they were overly violent
There is an episode when mojo watches over the girls to steal something but instead they make his life such a hell that he ends up just trying to survive it
It ends up with him calling the police and begging to get arrested and when he is cuffed the girls still beat him up even tho he is cuffed, even do he didn't do anything wrong
And the episode ends up with mojo beaten to a pull asking why

>>89368416
No they don't you psycho

>>89368642
I get how the joke was supposed to work but that doesn't mean it did work.

>The joke was that they were overly violent
And their violent tendencies could easily flit between funny and horrifying.

Remember the candy episode where they fucking beat Mojo Jojo to near death? And the second they showed Mojo Jojo's broken body it became clear that the girls were absolutely NOT in the right?

The joke is that you're responsible for your own actions even while under the influence of an external force.

>>89371176
>Apparently not if idiots are still bitching about it to this very day.

That's fixed it.

No charge.

>>89368295

The joke is that even though he was evil against his will he was beaten up as if he was. It came out of nowhere and got the viewers by surprise.

It's a joke OP. While there's some writing that can go to far, /co/ seems to get extremely thin skinned with "muh meanspiritdness" which is insane considering most, if not arguably all, comedy derives from pain.

Characters having to pay for their actions is a recurring joke in the series. In fact one of my favorite jokes in the show was in an episode where Blossom steals some golf clubs for the Professor for fathers day which leads to a domino effect of worse things that leads to the town getting destroyed. At the end the Professor and Blossom having a touching talk about how no matter what he'll always love her. Blossom asks if she's forgiven and the Professor says of course she is they make up and are happy.

Then the mayor walks in and essentially says "Hell no, are you crazy? You destroyed the whole town, you're gonna pay for this!" and the scene cut to Blossom doing community service.

>>89368295

I heard the network forced them to do it.

A bunch of 20-something guys fresh out of college make a show about little girls being unnecessarily violent because they think it's funny, and constantly try to see how much they can get away with.

Now who could do such a thing?

>>89368356
Does anyone actually like clowns?

>>89368295
But gains, hotdigglydiggity says that the point of PPG was just to be and edgelord cartoon show that was meant to show shit kinds were not supposed to see in cartuuuns.

Em AI right with you GAAAAAAAAAIIIISSS?!!?

>>89368599
No it wasn't and I am not that Enter guy, it was idiotic and horrible.

They said they did that due to a unspoken policy of "the girls niid turn beat pepul all the taiiiiiiiimmm".

Then again this was just an American cartoon show that just wanted to be edgy for the sake of being so, it's not like an anime from the 70s or 90s

If I would write that show, it would make a follow up episode with the girls facing with the consequences of that action in a shin Godzilla type of way.

Heck, have HIM taking advantage of that, built a story arc about it.

>>89371279
Welp, that's what happens when you write a show like this >>89377188

Say what you want about nuPPG and yes, that reboot was garbage, but is not like the original has totally aged well in some aspects.

>>89371447
Wasn't really funny, though, was it?

>>89376861

Asperger's is no longer a valid place name, it's all been merged into the same area and a defining characteristic of autism is lack of social tact and being unable to recognize outside emotions from one's own ego. I guess it's a spectrum thing now.

No, free will is real, just because the clown was upset at being black and white doesn't give him the right to cause everyone else trouble, and just because he got his color back doesn't mean he gets to act like nothing happened earlier. It'd be like if someone shot up a neighborhood because he got diagnosed with cancer but then he found out the diagnosis was a mistake. Would you just let that guy go?
