Or of dick, actually! But that sounds kind of gross. Or … what do goths like? Oh–Įduardo, the slacker with a heart made of heart.

His heart, if not gold, was at least made of some useful substance. For me (and for others), Extreme Ghostbusters lived, died, and lived again (ghosts!) on its sexually charged snitting: Kylie, the gifted goth, versus Eduardo, the slacker. I watched it for the resentful and prickly flirtation between the don’t-touch-me girl with the big hair and the sleazy rule breaker with only half a smile. You could watch Extreme Ghostbusters as a Roland fan, or as a Garrett fan, and not be too disappointed, probably.īut I didn’t. He and Roland are clear-eyed.īoth of these characters have their own personalities, informed and non-reliant by their circumstances, both get great lines, jokes, and episodes all to themselves. Garrett can see when people are raw for each other, because that’s just a social thing, that happens. Not perfect–he will neg you during video games and his patience has a finite reach–but extremely reassuring to have around. He’s the bro who’s the broiest, who’s also the best bud who knows what you need and wants to see you’re alright. Garrett was the jock with a brain, heart, courage, and social fluency.

Without Roland, Extreme Ghostbusters would be Extreme Silliness, Plus Some Ghosts. That’s good, because too much drama is too much drama. It doesn’t make sense to this brain to have prolonged romantic tension with someone you claim to despise but spend every day around, flicking at. Roland was a fixer, essentially, inclined to build equipment to solve material problems. The serious, nice kid, who would be there for you, but didn’t really understand why you were making such a fuss about nothing. Not “the smart kid” (Kylie had him squared for genius, I think), but the egghead. The latter are our non-couple the former (for today’s purposes) are our spares. The Extreme Ghostbusters were Roland, Garrett, Kylie and Eduardo. Who you gonna call? Not your crush, oh my god! Fuck that guy, you don’t even like him. Immature, and deeply, but undeniably horny, relationships. But what are students also known for? Protesting? Drinking? Yeah. The students by necessity were weirdos–the only kids at Fictional University to give any credence to a course on the occult.įour weird students. There’s a full-on two-parter crossover with The Real Ghostbusters for the heavily nostalgic viewer. That’s cartoon canon, not live-action canon. The show positioned itself “in canon”–the four Ghostbusters, this time, were students students of Egon, an original (“Real”) Ghostbuster. It was indeed “radical.” The core cast, ghosts (and assorted monsters) were designed by Fil Barlow, whose gross-out, kink-inspired style is currently being celebrated in Island following a prelude-to-renaissance reprint in Prophet Brandon Graham, there, a big fan. Of creeps, confidence, and cat jokes.Įxtreme Ghostbusters was “for the nineties” in a way you’ve doubtless already conceptualised. Who and what were the characters? Well, gather round chil’ren, I’ll tell you a tale, a rude tale. What is a great shock is that they’re actually quite good what’s a greater shock is that they establish, and enlarge, character. So Ghostbusters + cartoon = sex jokes, right? It’s to be expected. Sex is real, and jokes allow us to cope with that.

And, basically, all cartoons have sex jokes in them, sooner or later, because when worded correctly they can go straight over the heads of kids, and cartoons are written, of course, by adults. Louis Tully is really only there to fuck.
Louis and Janine were getting hella frottastic on the sofa before mama came home and Janosz stole that baby. There-is-no-Dana-there-is-only-Zuul pretty much wanted one thing only, and that thing was the D, I mean, the key. Ghostbusters was never an especially chaste property. Clearly this is hilarious (and #radical), but despite its basic applicability I propose an amendment: I propose that Extreme Ghostbusters might just as well be referred to as Ghostbusters: Dirrrty. Extreme Ghostbusters’ working title was, as it goes, Ghostbusters Dark.
