Well, gather round chil’ren, I’ll tell you a tale, a rude tale. What is a great shock is that they’re actually quite good what’s a greater shock is that they establish, and enlarge, character. So Ghostbusters + cartoon = sex jokes, right? It’s to be expected.
Sex is real, and jokes allow us to cope with that. And, basically, all cartoons have sex jokes in them, sooner or later, because when worded correctly they can go straight over the heads of kids, and cartoons are written, of course, by adults.

She, Kylie, Roland, Garrett, Eduardo and Rookie have to run interference in town while Phoebe and company do their thing. How can she step up and fill those shoes?Īnd then.well, shit happens. She ran the office, played Den Mother to the Extremes, and sometimes picked up a pack if it was really needed. But she never really thought of herself that way. So this guy she has been close to for damn near 40 years, led a team with in the Extreme series.now he’s dead, the others are out of the picture, and she’s the Closest Thing We Got to an old guard Ghostbuster. It’s telling that SHE is the executor, and Ray didn’t even get a phone call until Phoebe rolled the proverbial dice.
