2 Stupid Dogs: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

This [[Animated Series]], originally aired on [[TBS]] and broadcast syndication between [[The Nineties|1993 and 1995]], was [[Hanna-Barbera]]'s [[Follow the Leader|answer to]] ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|As expected]], it revolves around a [[Little Guy, Big Buddy|mismatched pair]] of stupid dogs, [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|neither of whom is named on or off the program]], and their surreally wacky misadventures. The shorts had several recurring characters, including [[Public Domain Character|a version of Red Riding Hood]], and most importantly their most frequent antagonist, "[[Boisterous Bruiser|Mr. H]]" (or "Hollywood" in the credits).

The backup feature of the show was a [[Revival]] of ''[[Secret Squirrel]]'' called ''Super Secret Secret Squirrel''. This version consistently featured [[Funny Animal~~|Funny Animals~~]] beyond Secret and Morocco Mole. It also introduced "Penny", secretary to [[Da Chief]] (and an obvious [[Captain Ersatz|counterpart to]] [[James Bond|Miss Moneypenny]].)

However, Big Dog wins a huge jackpot in the slots prompting the casino's owner to force them to gamble in order to get his money back, but they end up nearly draining the casino dry of money instead. {{spoiler|Eventually the Big Dog loses after the owner agreed to give the two all the hot dogs from the buffet in exchange}}.
