Quotes:

[ZZ, Pinsky, and Donkey Lips are fishing]
Pinsky: Think about it. When you die they stick you in the ground and it's the worms that eat you up!
Z.Z.: Then somebody digs up the worms that ate you and use to catch fish which somebody else eats.
Donkeylips: So wait a second guys, when we had fish sticks the other night, I could have eaten a fish, that ate a worm, that ate Elvis?
Z.Z.: You could be burping up the king as we speak!
[Pinsky holds up a worm]
Pinsky: "Hey, look at me! I ate Moe from the Three Stooges!"
[ZZ also holds up a worm]
Z.Z.: "I ate Henry David Thoreau, who lived at Walden Pond."
Donkeylips: Come on, guys, just cut it out! That's weird!

One of Nickelodeon's greatest!

Man, I used to not be able to wait for the weekends, and just sit there until 2 PM and just switch it to Nickelodeon and watch this show.

I think this show not only made me crack up compulsively, but it also opened me up to classical music.

I have way too many favorite episodes to name... especially Pinsky's first episode.

Is it just me, or did anyone think Dina was damn hot?

Too bad all this politically correct crap has flooded Nick now.

It was one of the greats... along with Pete and Pete, the early episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark, and Hey Dude.

BRING 'EM BACK!!!
