2025-03-27 20:53:43 +0000 UTCWe thought that for over a decade. Then someone realized we live in an age where you can just message the show's staff on Twitter and ask. ...it turns out it was banned because the censors thought the broken buildings in the background were meant to look like crosses. So it made them think the whole episode was meant to be some sort of religious propaganda (which I can't really blame them for).

2025-03-27 17:39:55 +0000 UTCThe obvious reasons why this episode was banned was not just because of the seizure-inducing flashes, but also for communist cult imagery (i.e., the red outfits and the Gnome’s “utopian” views)

2025-03-26 15:46:14 +0000 UTCThe part was written for Jack Black, yeah. It turned out the PPG staff just had REALLY bad timing and Jack Black's schedule was tight due to the filming of School of Rock, so they ended up having to use a sound-alike.

He has voiced a lot of childhood characters (from Animaniacs to current day). you two should check out some of the script-reading videos from Comi-Con. He and other VAs gather to read movie scripts as their characters or as impressions of other celebrities and characters
