Don’t be ashamed of your character that looks like the Tick, just remember Crimson Chin still exists and it’s basically identical to The Tick.

One of the many things I love about the animated series, is Chairface Chippendale's plot to deface the moon. Other shows of the time would have stopped the villain before he could implement his plan and maintained the status quo.
Here the "Cha" on the moon could be seen for the rest of the shows' run.
Also there was no way Chairface could fit his whole name, using that font.

The Tick reason for being a hero is just "I'm indestructible and strong so why not fight crime"

What I like about the version from 2016, is that it appears that his origin story in that one may be that he didn't even exist until his existence was necessary for Arthur plot armor. That is my favorite interpretation of his origin. He wasn't born. He wasn't an ordinary guy who gained powers. He doesn't have a past. He simply, is, because it's necessary for him to be.

I love how the comic book made fun of superheroes at that time and the Amazon prime show makes fun of modern superheroes

Mother destiny calls to me, she says hello by the way. I am the Sterling silver ladle of justice pouring it's foamy cream over the just picked strawberries of crime. Ty for the useless info.

Sadly Amazon cancelled the show :’) I loved watching it 😭

[MedievalFolkDance]

Ahhh, the all time greatest battle-cry...

"I HOPE I DON'T GET HURT!!"

[Hriskataaa]

great fun fact: Part of the creation team, involved with the 90s FOX cartoon, the creators of the Venture Bros were involved!
A lot of the niche humor comes from them

This was NOT useless history, it was actually good. I really liked this video. Well done.

[sMoviesRule]

The Amazon show is really good. I’ve watched both seasons at least 3 times.

in the picture at 1:24 Ben Edlund is wearing a Venture Bros shirt! He wrote and directed season 2's Viva los Muertos, the only episode of the Venture Bros not written and directed by the showrunners, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick. Jackson Publick actually got his start in TV writing working on the Tick cartoon.

i just finished the amazon series, and while the show itself was good Im now absolutely obsessed with the Tick as a character. In my opinion the actor who played him was amazing at playing the role, although I guess if you were a fan of the other versions I can't really speak in that aspect as I never seen anything else yet. I'm so dissapointed they cancelled season 3, I really wanted to find out if Walter had to do with the creation of the Tick.

Didn’t like the animated series as a kid, I didn’t get it. Now having watched it almost 30 years later, I love it!

[jacoblindsey]

The fact that originally he beat up beaker and bunson honeydew from the muppets to escape the insane asylum was hysterical

[guyzerok]

Always liked the tick. Wish the Amazon show would have been renewed. Remember when Spider-man took a jab at the tick in his show?

[edable]

Met Ben briefly when he was still with New England Comics. I was glad to see him move on to better options.

[ninjaconsultantsixshot]

Without the Tick the Venture Bros wouldn’t exist as Jackson Publick one of the creators worked on both the animated and 2001 version of the Tick and he was introduced to his co creator Doc Hammer by Ben Edlund.

[limbodog]

I think I used to game with Ben... I loved The Tick from the get go, and I had the original comics. Until a "friend" stole them and sold them to Bop City Comics. Ah well.

[littlesamu]

It sucks that Patrick Warburton's Tick run for only 1 season, literally everything about that show ruled
