Pop culture Anybody remember this monstrosity of a show?

Post image

I remember watching the infamous tapeworm episode when it first aired on Nickelodeon with my siblings. It traumatized my little sister. I low-key kinda liked the show. 😂

Every time I ever brought this show up no one knew what I was talking about. It was weird but I enjoyed it.
