The Synopsis of The Ripping Friends

We asked the creator himself John Kricfalusi to summarize the Ripping Friends- "The Ripping Friends is about the world's most manly men. Four guys who go around the world kicking ass and taking the law into their own hands and making the world a safe place in which to be manly. They're kind of the opposite of what men are brainwashed into being these days. They're like old-fashioned men, before political corredctness. You ever see young guys now, where they're all hugging each other and shit like that? Trying to convince the girls that they're sensitive so they can get laid? Pile of crap.

The Ripping Friends are like all men from before the 70s. The 70s is when political correctness took over. Let's not call political correctness "nice" okay? I have nothing against being nice. Political correctness didn't invent nice. Political correctness is a mean-spirited Commie plot, if you ask me. But, just one symptom of political correctness is men hugging men, and that's just a ploy anyway, like I said, to get laid, to convince girls that you're sensitive. No guy is really into that, unless he's gay. Which I'm not saying anything against; I'm just saying that naturally, guys don't like to touch each other, except two ways. And one is really hard, with a clenched fist. The other is also really hard but, the ripping friends DON'T do that.

You know my dad gave me this theory just last year. He was railing on and on. He said "I go down to the mall, and I see these young guys, you know the kind, they got the earring sand the long hair and those giant pants, looks like they're wearing a tent. They're down there hugging each other. They're disgusting." You know he was telling about this guy on his dart team, one of these touchy-feely guys. "Got his hand and your shoulder, he's slapping your butt. One time I turn around and he slaps me on the butt, and I put both my fists in his face and I said "You try that again, I'm gonna black both your eyes". And this guy was like, 30 years younger than me, and you know what he did? You'd think he would take a swing at me, right? No, he sat down and started to cry! What kinda men are they making these days? So I said, you got me Dad. I'm going to do something about it. I'm going to make a cartoon that cures kids. And I'm going to have Micheal Cera in it and they're all going to shit and fart and rip things. And they're gonna be huge. And they're going to be brothers. And they're mom's gonna be a trans(?) character that I make fun of kind of. And the villains going to be French because the French are gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). I made fucking Ren and Stimpy! You think I can't make money? You think Canadian television networks should kick me off my coke habit?"

After continuing to talk about animation and the internet for 50 minutes he did a line and left. (Note: Most of this is from an actual interview in the book "The Tenacity of the Cockroach- Conversations with Entertainment's Most Enduring Outsiders).
