I'd forgotten that catchphrase. Do you remember the episode with that line "He's trying to get your goat"? I loved that.

And Fuzzy Lumpkins with his "Git off my property!"

I don't actually recall that episode XD I remember watching it years ago when it was on CN, and now there's the "newer" reboot of it, which I catch now and again if I'm flicking.

I like tom-boy Buttercup though ^^

@Neil.T are deep-fried Mars bars ACTUALLY a thing in Scotland?

How do you even deep-fry a chocolate bar without the chocolate melting and stuff?

Yep, they are actually a thing. I used to wonder if they were a myth as well, but there was a chip shop (now closed down) that offered them. That's a heart attack waiting to happen.

I'm guessing the batter encases it before it melts completely? There was a picture of what they looked like in the window. Yeah, I'll... pass, thanks.

Any unusual confections like that in Wales?

Ugh, no thank you indeed! Sounds VILE!

NOTHING like that here. We do have bara brith (fruit bread), and Welsh cakes (kind of like flat scones). Welsh rarebit (posh-a$$ cheese on toast), lamb and leek pasties...

But absolutely NO deep-fried chocolate!

Oh, yeah. You've got to like Buttercup.

Is the reboot any good at all?

And the "get your goat" thing is this
(copy/pasted from the Wikia page):

Professor: Okay, Bubbles, calm down. Everything’s all right now.

Blossom: (goody-goody mode) Professor, I was trying to sleep, but Bubbles was afraid of the dark, and—and Buttercup was telling scary stories, and then—

Professor: (wearily) Yes, Blossom, I know. Buttercup likes to be an instigator.

Bubbles: A what?

Blossom: That means she was trying to get your goat.

Bubbles: (pulling a stuffed goat to herself) No!

Buttercup: Well, it’s not my fault she’s a baby scared of the dark.

Bubbles: I’m sorry. I wish I were brave.

Wasn’t that the ripple that was promised to be my sacrifice? You make me sad.

It was. I've eaten it...and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought. I've felt like **** for much of the day, and thought a nice chocolate bar would bring a spell of happiness...

But no...

That is typical Bubbles actually!

It's not bad to be fair. I don't watch it alot, but if it's on I'll ocassionally tune in ^^ I don't think the overall look has changed that much from years ago, and the humour is still there...

I watched some of the new PPG and it was awful, they added twerking, took the Mayor's assistant away and made the stories bland and uninteresting- the lack of series creator Craig McCracken couldn't be more apparent. It was basically a cheap cash grab.

Yeah, not all of it's good, I grant you, but I've found aspects of it to be funny. I was always more of a Gendy Tartakovsky fan anyway!
