* [[Creator Backlash]]: John has actually been pretty critical of his early work, particularly on Mighty Mouse: TNA and [[Ren and Stimpy]]. He even warns his fans to not study his cartoons, but rather all of his influences--"For everything I did right, there were a ton of mistakes."
** He also refused to give himself credit for his directorial role on the Ren and Stimpy episode Nurse Stimpy. He thought it was so bad that he credited himself as "[[Alan Smithee|Raymond Spum]]" instead, out of embarrassment.
** He also disliked how he was forced to add strong adult themes to [[Ren and Stimpy]]: Adult Party Cartoon.
** He also claims that he can barely watch [[The Ripping Friends]], since the whole show was meddled with to death.
* [[Doing It for Thethe Art]]: The whole reason John became a cartoonist was to bring back cartoony animation to the mainstream and put a stop to the stiff, formulaic TV animation coming out around the time, as well as create Spumco as the only other safehavensafe haven besides [[T MsTMS]] and [[Studio Ghibli]] for cartoonists.
* [[Flip-Flop of God]]: On Ren And Stimpy's sexuality.
* [[God Does Not Own This World]]: Oh, yeah. Unlike other examples, John would get another turn with Ren and Stimpy later on after being fired.
* [[He Also Did]]: This ''[[Deranged Animation|gloriously]]'' [[Mind Screw|insane]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybDX_5hQ6So music video] with [[Bjork (Music)|Bjork]].
* [[Old Shame]]: [[The Ripping Friends]]. He also dislikes talking his "[[Accidental Innuendo|embarrasing 80's flat period]]"--referring to his really early artwork, specifically. He is also not proud of his tenures on many 1980's cartoon shows such as [[The Snorks]], ''[[He -Man and Thethe Masters of Thethe Universe (Animation)|He Man and The Masters of The Universe]]'', etc.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Sometime during the 1980's when John was working on ''Mighty Mouse'', [[Ralph Bakshi]] had recognized John's talent. Ralph and John were planning on teaming up to do an animated film called "Bobby's girl". [[Teen Drama|Which was set to be a parody of the teen comedies during the time]]. However [[Tri -Star Pictures|TriStar]] [[Executive Meddling|canceled the project]]. But artwork of this proposed project can be seen in the [http://www.amazon.com/Unfiltered-Complete-Bakshi-Behind-Mighty/dp/0789316846 Unfiltered: The Complete Ralph Bakshi] book. It's interesting to think what John's career would have been like if he were a film director, not a creator of television shows.
** Some time ago, he went into [[Dreamworks Animation]] to pitch a movie, but he came back with an [[Executive Meddling]] [http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2009/07/ideas-arenas-modern-way-to-write.html horror story].
