- What up, gamers. (upbeat music)
It's me, ya boy, PogChamp.
- And, I'm Kevin.
- And, today, we're drawing...
- 90s characters from memory.
- From our brain, our little memories.
I was born in the 90s, but I don't remember it.
- Ya had to be there.
- I was there.
- I was little baby.
- I was 21.
- Yikes.
- [Announcer] Your character is
Arnold, from Hey Arnold! (bell rings)
- Ah!
- Oh, there you go.
- I have his head in my head,
but I don't have his body in my head.
- I know.
- [Announcer] Dexter, (bell rings)
from Dexter's Laboratory.
- Oh.
- Sweet, I'm excited. (laughs)
- [Announcer] Chuckie Finster. (bell rings)
- Who?
- From Rugrats.
- Oh, his last name is Finster?
Ugh, I would bully that kid. (laughs)
- Jason, what shape is Arnold's head?
- It is obviously football head.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
- I know who Dexter is, so I'm happy.
I'm just trying to remember all the details
that make Dexter, Dexter.
- He's a kid, so he's got a big head.
- They got huge brains.
- Yeah, let's not go that far.
- Now, I'm forgetting his face, his eyes.
- Okay, so Arnold's like the chill dude,
so his eyes are always kind of like,
got his lids closed halfway.
- Nicktoons was always, they always had the cooler cartoons.
Nicktoons had like, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and Rugrats,
which felt safe, but always had adult jokes in there,
hidden in there, somewhere.
- Yeah.
- You know, I didn't watch a lot of Rugrats,
but the Rugrats that I did watch,
I remember not liking his character,
'cause he's like, whiny, right?
- Yeah, he's the worst Rugrats character.
- What was great about Hey Arnold! for me,
is that, Hey Arnold! took place in a city.
- Yeah.
- I was born and raised in the Bronx and,
it was great to see a show-- - That reflected that.
That reflected that.
- So, the city that's in Hey Arnold!
is actually a mix between New York and Seattle,
which I always thought was super cool.
- So, you didn't watch Rugrats?
- I watched some of it.
I don't really remember it.
- I watched Dexter a lot as a kid.
- Yeah, I used to watch it a lot, when I was younger.
I would say not as a kid,
'cause I was kind of in high school, getting into college,
when Dexter was coming out.
- Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy,
was like the end of my Nicktoons watching.
- Oh, and then you discovered girls.
- Yeah.
- You gotta live life without any shame.
Everybody knows why Incognito mode exists.
- Wait, what?
- You know what's funny?
You never remember what the feet look like,
a lot of the time.
- His boots are hard.
I remember them, but I don't think
I'm getting the shape quite right.
- Doesn't he wear big chunky shoes?
- Chunky Finster.
Am I right, ladies?
- Ugh, can we open the door and let some of these puns out?
- One thing that I remember very distinctly about Dexter,
is he is like, super square. (laughs)
- The character designs on Rugrats,
were like super freaky. - Yeah, the--
They were vaguely unsettling.
- I think it was probably a product of its time.
Things just didn't look right.
- It was like the era of Squigglevision.
- Yeah.
I don't know what that is.
I just pretended like I know.
- Dr. Katz, anyone?
Squigglevision, Home Movies?
- A thing that I've struggled with, a lot on here,
is remebering the small details of character's clothes.
- I'm totally making his clothes up, right now.
- I think he's wearing like,
a flannel shirt underneath, though.
- I remember flannel.
- He has something on his shirt.
- Is it a dinosaur?
- Did he have a dinosaur on his shirt?
- His shirt's blue, I think.
- Oh, what color was his hat, then?
- It's like a dark blue, his hat's red,
I think. (laughs) - Oh, oops. (laughs)
- His hair, do you remember anything about his hair?
- He's got blonde hair.
- Yeah, he's definitely got blonde hair.
- He's got big frizzy hair, right?
- Yeah, he has big orange hair.
- He's got, you know,
like when you're drawing something poofy,
and it has that little circle in the middle of like
where the tears are, where it's like voop?
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, the little loops.
- I don't know what I'm drawing.
I think I'm mixing up Chuckie and the aliens from Toy Story.
- The aliens from Toy Story have three eyes, and are green.
Chuckie Finster is a human child.
- Is he, though?
- Yes.
- I remember actually asking my mom,
when I was a kid, what accent Dexter had,
and she said that it was a made up one,
but I think it's supposed to be Transylvanian, right?
- "Dee Dee, look at this beaker."
I mean, I sound French.
Okay, that's great. - You were French. (laughs)
(bell rings) - [Announcer] Five minutes.
- Oh my God-- - Uh-oh.
- I'm gonna need a little more time.
- Can't wait to see yours.
- I know, I can't wait to see what you drew.
- My final touches, is this cigarette,
and making his eyes kind of red, because he's high.
- So, Jason, we feeling more confident about this one?
- Kind of, yeah.
I know it looks like Arnold.
- It's okay, I think he's...
- I think it's getting closer
to what he probably looks like.
- I think I'm done.
I gotta stop fiddling with it, just leave it.
- I think I did okay.
I think I got a lot of the details wrong.
I'm pretty sure the color of his shirt and his diaper.
I put him in a diaper, he may be wearing shorts.
- It's Arnold.
He's an adult, and he's had a hard life.
(energetic music)
- Ah!
- It's so cute! (laughs)
- You nailed it, that's so good.
Ah, Kyra.
Oh, my God.
- Thank you. (laughs)
- Oh, hell yeah.
- Wow, dope, yeah.
- This Arnold's chill as heck. (laughs)
I like this guy. (laughs)
- Ahh!
Why (laughs) is his diaper purple, though?
- I don't know.
I feel like he needed a purple diaper.
- I love his expression.
You nailed the character.
- Thank you. (laughs)
- That's totally, that's totally...
I'm jealous.
- The body of your Arnold,
feels like the real character design.
- Yeah, you gave him like a human body. (laughs)
Some straight up anatomy. (laughs)
- Are you disappointed in me?
- I just, it's good, Kevin.
Just, why wouldn't you immediately make the diaper white?
- I did the diaper purple, and as soon as I did that,
I was like, "Ah, he's probably wearing shorts."
- Yeah.
I think your brain is mixing up concepts.
- Yup. - Yeah.
- I love yours.
- Aw.
- I think it's great. - Thanks.
- I'm not gonna lie to you, though.
I don't think it's very on-model
- Maybe that's true, but I tried my best.
- You did try your best.
You got the dinosaur, and like I said,
it's not on-model, but it is very cute.
- And you were right about yours--
- It being vaguely unsettling?
- Vaguely unsettling, I think I'm more disturbed
by the diapers than anything.
- Oh, oh!
- Wow, you were spot-on.
- Oh, no, wait, his hat was blue.
- His hat was blue, yeah.
Okay, wait.
I feel like I remember his hat being...
Nah, maybe it was blue.
- I was close. (laughs)
- ♪ Nailed it. ♪
- I did remember a lot of things.
- Yeah.
- I somehow remembered that his nose was pointy,
even though I started drawing it round.
You did, too.
- Yeah, I got the pointy nose,
and you got the gloves, you got the gloves.
And the boots, the boots.
You got the boots.
- I sorta got the boots.
- Did I give him shoes in my drawing?
- You did, you gave him little purple shoes.
- Okay.
- Yours is actually like, really close.
It's just if Chuckie was pantsless.
- Your design is spot-on,
except for the different color of the feet.
- Yeah. - That's literally it.
- Yeah.
I'm pretty great, aren't I? (laughs)
- Okay, so, here's the thing.
There was something on his shirt,
but it's a planet, not a dinosaur.
We both got the glasses correct, though.
- Yeah.
- And, you got the eye style right in that,
it's just the glasses with the pupils in it.
- Yeah.
- I think it's simple, but it's deceptively simple in that,
you've gotta get all those details right,
or else it's not Dexter.
- I think we did pretty good,
for two people who didn't really watch Rugrats.
- Nobody can tell us, that we did bad.
- Except for the internet.
