NickSplat Launches 'NSFW: Nick Shows Were Freakin' Weird' Digital Series On Facebook

For nearly four decades, Nickelodeon has been a huge part of many childhoods, serving as a platform to watch animated series like the hilarious SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life, The Loud House, Doug and Hey Arnold!. Nick's line-up is always stacked with colorful and energetic comedies, seemingly designed for a younger audience.


Many Nick Kids who grew up in the '90s have fond memories of watching their favorite shows on Nickelodeon, and are now rediscovering their favorite shows thanks to NickSplat.

If you've been re-watching your favorite '90s Nickelodeon shows on NickSplat, you may have come across something mind-blowing: Your favorite shows aren't as innocent as you remember them, and are actually filled with innuendos and grown-up jokes hidden in plain sight that went right over your head when you were young!

Adult jokes being left in on Nickelodeon shows raises a few questions, such as "Did nobody ever notice these before?", "How did this get pass censors?" and "How did the animators manage to get away with so much?", however, thankfully the jokes did get through, as they've given fans a chance to binge-watch every Nickelodeon show ever to uncover any gags which flew over their innocent little minds back in the '90s!



To help you find all the naughty bits in '90s Nickelodeon shows that you may have missed whilst growing up, NickSplat, Nickelodeon's late-night destination for your favorite childhood Nickelodeon cartoons and live-action shows, has launched a brand-new short-form digital series on Facebook titled NSFW: Nick Shows were Freakin' Weird, which is documenting all the grown-up and freakin' weird bits of '90s Nickelodeon! Each week's episode will take a look a different hidden-in-plain-view adult gag from a hit classic Nickelodeon show! Here's the episodes which have been released so far!:

Rocko's Modern Life - Ohhh Baby...:



Rocko tries a new R-rated career!

Hey Arnold! - Arnold’s Grandpa Beats Nazi Germany:



Grandpa Phil reveals how he alone defeated Adolf Hitler:

Rugrats - Chuckie’s got a problem:



He’s in There Boppin’ His Boppo Again

Angry Beavers - They Do WHAT with Their Tails?:



The Angry Beavers learn the importance of self-control.

Rocko's Modern Life - Wait, That’s Not a Berry!:



The Ren & Stimpy Show - Heeeey! This is Private!:



Stimpy and Sven share a *cough cough* intimate moment.

Rugrats - Grandpa Lou’s Late Night Movie - Lonely Space Vixens:



Grandpa Lou rents some movies.

Rubber Nipple Salesmen - Heeeey! This is Private!:

Make sure to subscribe to NSFW: '90s Nick Shows were Freakin' Weird to catch all the adult jokes that went right over your head!

Disclaimer: Nick Shows were Freakin' Weird. The videos showcases are just some of the many examples of '90s Nick shows being super freakin' weird. There are too many examples to count. Seriously, Nick can't actually count them all. NickSplat is not responsible for any damage to your childhood caused by the series.

Watch all your '90s Nickelodeon favorites on NickSplat, your late-night destination for your favorite childhood Nickelodeon cartoons and live-action shows!

ТЕЛЕКАНАЛЫ NICKELODEON, NICK JR. И PARAMOUNT COMEDY СТАЛИ ПОБЕДИТЕЛЯМИ ЗРИТЕЛЬСКОГО ГОЛОСОВАНИЯ ПРЕМИИ «БОЛЬШАЯ ЦИФРА 2018»


Три канала медиахолдинга Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) стали лучшими по итогам голосования зрителей: Nickelodeon (номинация «Детский телеканал 6+»), Nick Jr. (номинация «Детский телеканал 0+») и Paramount Comedy (номинация «Развлекательный телеканал»).

Nickelodeon становится победителем в номинациях премии «Большая цифра» восьмой раз. В этом году телеканал обновил визуальную концепцию: новая стилистика, яркая и привлекательная, отражает роль игры и воображения в жизни детей и подростков. Летом канал провел очередной этап социального проекта «Правила интернет-безопасности» и наглядно объяснил зрителям главные правила общения в сети. Осенью состоялась премьера первого произведенного в России шоу «Быть блогером», в котором отечественные интернет-звезды в интерактивном формате делятся опытом с участниками и зрителями.

Nick Jr., развивающий телеканал для самых маленьких телезрителей, стал победителем в номинации «Детский телеканал 0+», представленной в 2017 году впервые. Контент телеканала подобран специально для дошкольников и представляет как развлекательные, так и развивающие программы. В этом году вышли премьеры анимационных сериалов «День, когда Генри узнал», «Валликазам» и «Нелла, отважная принцесса», а также новые эпизоды развивающих шоу «Щенячий патруль», «Расти-механик», «Даша и друзья», «Вспыш и чудо-машинки» и «Макс и Руби».

Для Paramount Comedy эта победа в «Большой цифре» уже четвертая: в 2014 году зрители выбрали его в номинациях «Телеканал сериалов» и «Развлекательный телеканал», а в 2016 и 2017 годах – в номинации «Развлекательный телеканал». В этом году Paramount Comedy обновил эфирное оформление, а также представил ряд премьер: ситкомы «Бруклин 9-9», «Новенькая», «Трудности ассимиляции», «Просто нет слов» и «Голдберги» и новые сезоны любимых зрителями телехитов «Южный парк» и «Теория большого взрыва».

«Успех Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. и Paramount Comedy — свидетельство высокой оценки контента VIMN со стороны зрительской аудитории самых разных возрастов. Я бы хотела поблагодарить всех наших зрителей за их поддержку и любовь, а также поздравить коллег с очередным признанием их профессионализма», — сказала Елена Бальмонт, старший вице-президент и генеральный директор Viacom International Media Networks в России, Украине, Грузии, странах СНГ и Балтии.

По результатам 2017 года все три телеканала продемонстрировали отличные результаты и упрочили лидерские позиции в сегменте платного телевидения. Nickelodeon в России – номер один по доле и по среднему времени телесмотрения аудиторией от 4 до 17 лет среди тематических каналов. Nick Jr. продемонстрировал самый высокий показатель аффинитивности для дошкольников среди детских тематических каналов , дети проводят с каналом 98 минут в день. Paramount Comedy лидирует в списке платных комедийных каналов по доле и среднему времени просмотра аудиторией 18-44 (56 минут).

Viacom Didn't Infringe 'Bubble Guppies' Trademark, Sixth Circuit Rules

The Sixth Circuit upheld a decision releasing Viacom International Inc. from allegations that promotional merchandise for its Bubble Guppies animated series on Nickelodeon infringed trademarks owned by a children’s clothing company, saying the owners failed to show that consumers knew about their brand to begin with — let alone confused it with Viacom’s brand!


It was the “battle of the guppies” between Viacom International Inc. and a couple. Viacom has emerged the winner in this fish fight, an appellate court ruled.

Debbie and Dean Rohn had filed a suit against New York-based Viacom for trademark infringement in connection with Viacom’s trademarked television characters, the Bubble Guppies, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday 19th December 2017 in Cincinnati in Debbie Rohn, Dean Rohn v. Viacom International Inc., et al.

The couple own two trademarks, one for the word GUPPIE, an acronym for “Growing Up Playing Pursuing Individual Excellence,” and a second for a logo, the word GUPPIE, in which a fish in a necktie forms the letter G. The trademarks give the Rohns exclusive right to put the word and logo on items including hats and shirts.

They started in 1990 and have since sold, at most, $12,000 in “Guppie Kid” apparel, but most of these sales came in the first 15 years, and the Rohns have sold only about $2,000 of their apparel since 2005, said the ruling.

Viacom premiered it's Bubble Guppies show on its Nickelodeon television network in 2011, said the ruling. The show, aimed towards a preschool audience, features a group of merperson preschoolers learning how to count and read.

In its logo, the end of the letter G is draped like a fish tail. Viacom has licensed the characters and logo to large retailers that make and sell Bubble Guppies apparel.

The Rohns sued Viacom and various retailers for trademark infringement, alleging potential customers were likely to confuse Guppie Kid and Bubble Guppies apparel.

The U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids, Michigan, granted Viacom’s motion for summary judgment and entered judgment for all defendants.

A three-judge appeals court panel upheld the ruling. The panel held the couple’s claims were, well, somewhat fishy. To show infringement, “the Rohns must show confusion,” said the ruling.

But $10,000 of the $12,000 in clothing sold was in western Michigan before 2005. “Even before Bubble Guppies arrived, then, Guppie Kid sights were few” and were “already becoming fewer” because a number of the stores that carried the line apparently had closed “long ago,” the ruling said.

“That would explain why the Rohns offer no evidence that any consumer has actually confused the two brands, which is the best evidence that consumers are likely to confuse them,” said the panel, in affirming the lower court’s ruling.
