The Influential, Everlasting Groundbreaking Power of ‘All That’ -

Okay fine but did your leafshit have a deathfat on the cast? Didn't think so

I'm not Canadian bro...
I only know about that because years ago, the Nostalgia Critic did a review on everything Nickelodeon, from Nicktoons, to Nickcoms, to SNICK

@Coach Kreeton Of All That, thoughts on this piece?

Decent article. Not groundbreaking or the best thing since sliced bread. Just a decent article on a 90's comedy sketch show that managed to garner success. Not the first show with a big name. Made it's mark.

I remember being super hyped for the Michael Jackson episode as a kid.

I remember being super hyped for the Michael Jackson episode as a kid.

And I remember being super hyped for the Chris Farley episode as a kid.

Hmm...interesting.

Never seen it.

Reyes, who is of Dominican, Irish, and Italian descent, says at the time, she didn’t pay much attention to the show’s extreme diversity in comparison to what else was on television because of her young age. “Because I was young, it was from a place of just pure abundance of being happy. It was important for me to be a part of something that I knew was going to be universal. And I knew the minute I was on set with everyone, we had something magical, and having it be diverse was just the cherry on top.”

Angelique Bates, who joined the show at the age of 12, was also unaware of the impact her role on All That would have. “I don’t believe I have even completely grasped the impact of what our show has had on pop culture,” Bates, the first African American girl on the show, tells me. “When you think of the ’90s, you think of All That. The ’90s was an amazing and carefree era for a lot of us. A lot of nostalgic memories that helped kids, in particular, escape into a different world for short moments in their life … we helped create.”

The subtlety in this article is real smooth.

From a user who watched All That in its heyday, kids should not be forced to care about the skin color or ethnicity of what other children look like on children’s TV shows. Now it might seem important to recognize the differences and personalities of what people are like, but to force it on to children who will only see race and not talent (as well overall, having fun), it will be a hard time for that child who gets emotionally manipulated to have a chip on his/her shoulder.

The series also helped launch the careers of Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon, and Jamie Lynn Spears.

A junkie, a hotep plus sixteen and pregnant. All That really bettered the world.

To be fair to Bynes and Spears their problems are most likely caused because of Dan Schneider. According to the rumor mill Dirty Dan molested Bynes which traumatized her and made her the nutjob she is on Twitter today, and allegedly hes the actual father of Spears baby.

On a happier note I remember All That and it was pretty funny when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in years so it probably aged like milk. On the other hand the Good Burger movie is still funny even today. Its really dumb childish humor but some of the jokes are really well written and delivered where all the dialogue flows well and builds up to the punchline.

The 1990s did it the right way, rather than shine a big spotlight on it, multiculturalism was just matter of fact.

I rewatched the Good Burger movie not too long ago, either last year or the year before and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

That's some outright feel-good TV for children right there.

What on Earth was the context for this? What episode of Rugrats was she following?

a generation later and you wouldn't be able to show that on TV.

I miss that, a lot. I never really noticed what people looked like then. Now it's some great sin to not make a big deal out of any sort of vaguely diverse cast.

So what you're saying is
You Can't Do That On Television?

This article is weird as hell though. Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were most of the reason to watch, and because they were hilarious together, not because they were colored.

Nobody remembers Roundhouse though, what a tragedy.

 

[Dysnomia]

The fact that they don't actually talk about the show, and instead literally repeat the same sentence, then go on a tirade about how putting mutts and niggers into a show is "gud fo' da childrun" or something, tells me that the show actually sucked ass.

I remember it being pretty good despite being produced by a pedo obsessed with the feet of underaged girls.

The kids were talented. It was SNL for children. And it was diverse without screaming it in your face every five minutes. If Nickelodeon attempted to ressurect it I cannot imagine the pandering that would be there. You didn't have to talk to kids like they were too dumb to see that black and brown people were on the screen. Well you still don't. But journalists and woke blue checkmarks have to shout it from the rooftops.

Kids liked Kenan and Kel because it was genuinely funny. Not because "muh diversity". Different times indeed.

I think Roundhouse was even funnier though. Fast paced sketches done on a single circular set. One of the cast members, John Crane, became a head writer, then executive producer for MadTV. Crystal Lewis is a Grammy nominated gospel artist.

Nickelodeon in the 90s was really great. It's something that they will never be able to top.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

It's fucking comedy skits done by child actors.

Canada was doing that shit back in the 80's (which Nickelodeon also aired in it's early days) and no one batted an eye about that.

Yeah, it was a show called "You Can't Do That on Television" if I remember correctly.

There's another song who could fit with dudes as well.

 

[SSF2T Old User]

Yep. The thing about that show was the "green slime drop" gimmic was borrowed from that show once Nick started doing their own game shows in Orlando Florida (see Double Dare). and pretty much trademarked it as Nickelodeon Slime/Gak.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

Eh, it was SNL for kids, and that's fine, but I don't look back on it as being legendary or anything.

I enjoyed it when I was younger, but it was far from my favorite show or anything. I actually watched Snick for Ren and Stimpy and Are You Afraid of the Dark, and All That was an entertaining break among the shows I was there to see.

 

[Deftones]

The only thing that was good about All That was Keenan and Kel. Other than that, the skits were hit or miss for me.

"OH BUT THERE'S BLACK PEOPLE IN THERE!"

Yeah, so fucking what?
