I'm currently watching The Real Ghostbusters and I just started season four and I just noticed the change in animation and it is very obvious.

As much as I loved Slimer he was a lot better as the mascot than as the main character that he turned into. I realize that he was the focus of a few episodes in the early seasons but for the most part he was the comic nuisance which was more than enough to make him lovable, at least in my opinion anyway

Had this been an earlier season, and they stayed away from the parody of The Simpsons and Married with Children by someone that clearly has seen neither, I could see the concept of a family of ghosts squatting in the Ghostbusters' fire house as a home being a clever gag episode. But by then, the series went from show made with kids in mind to show directly made for kids at the suggestions of people who had never come in contact with a child. Though I seriously wonder if the character designers are to blame for the family being visually based on The Simpsons, rather than the Bundy clan. That said, I'm surprised they got away with a fart joke back then. What was this, like early 90's? "Butt" was a forbidden word until Tiny Toons used it, farts wouldn't be considered okay for kids for some time.

Honestly, I saw this as a kid and didn't even think about this as a Married With Children parody. The name swaps are actually pretty clever

I'll say, eqon in the construction outfit reminded me of GB2 when they're digging the hole in the middle of first avenue.

I think the thing that bothers me the most is how uncanny the Simpsons ghosts look

The only ghost who should be busted in that episode is the ghost realtor. You know, for selling a house that's already occupied.

I definitely remember this episode. It came along during the show's twilight.

I remember by this point, I was watching Ninja Turtles, and often wondered what I was missing on The Real Ghostbusters. Not much, turned out...

@Ghostbusters News: Its funny, I never would have guessed as a kid that some of the episodes from the 1990 season like this one reused animation from the second season. As an adult, it is really noticeable when the animation shifts from season six to reused animation from the earlier seasons. I am guessing that DIC did this a cost saving measure, since they were known to produce many of their cartoons as cheaply as possible. When I was a kid, I did notice that the Grungee family did look similar to the Simpsons since I had seen a few ads for the show when I was channel surfing. I agree, Egon using the Proton Pack to propel himself through the Firehouse is one of the few decent moments of this episode. Even as a kid, I felt this story was a major step down from where The Real Ghostbusters began. Still at least the toy line had some quality toys like the Ecto Bomber and the Slimed Heroes action figures. Also, I was reading The Real Ghostbusters comic books from NOW comics, when I could find them. Funnily, enough besides The Real Ghostbusters, NOW comics also published a comic book series tie in for Married .... With Children, which as you said also played a part in the creation of the Grungee's family's personalities.

They coming back from vacation wearing their uniforms? :O

Now with today's world of Fox/FX/Adult Swim/Hulu/Netflix they could do Ghostbusters animation with the adult humor of the first movie, and do a Simpsons/Bundy's parody right.

As a person who named her OC Grungie,I'm proud my name makes a debut in the media.

Appreciate the Maniac Mansion theme in there... but yeah, everything past the first 3 seasons of TRGB gets a little dicey for quality.

Ghostbusters actually did crossover with the Simpsons in 2015 with Lego Dimensions lol

It’s crazy how the Ghostbusters met a parody of the Simpsons before having the chance to interact with the Real Simpsons in some LEGO Game.

Loving the Maniac Mansion music at 9:42. One of my favourite Commodore 64 games. 😄

That sounds really interesting 😁

I still like the fact that they didn't bust them at the end, I expected it. I recently watched an EGB episode, where at the end a ghost woman came looking for her dog (that they had just trapped), and they just imprison her too. It didn't set right with me, since (interdimensional weirdness or not) it wasn't a "undead haunting spirit" but just an (interdimensional) alien with obvious intelligence and civilization to be owning a pet. See, we can all over think these things!

WOW! You are the first youtuber to actually acknowledge that the first seasons of the Real Ghostbusters were animated in Japan ( and thus technically count as "anime" ) thank you! ^^

Much love for utilizing Maniac Mansion music.

did they really play do the bartman?

I don’t remember this episode. I guess I gave up by that point. 😂

I could tell the differences compared between the earlier and later seasons. I actually preferred the series music score before season 6, that was actually captivating and spooky however after a while it did seem repetitive. Once they started changing things like either the voice casting or animation style that's when it felt different and not necessarily better. I do think there decent episodes throughout but it's definitely more cringeworthy towards the end of the series. If they kept it as true to the source material as possible it would have sustained a longer lifespan.

I knew it and that episode where they met the Addams family like Family 😂

Wow, how they got away with this is crazy. Would have thought Matt Groening would have been all over this

The show suffered do to Q5 and studio interference and Dave Coulier

if you question ghost looking for a house you arent going to like a ghost show!

As a kid I was wondering why the show started to look so much worse.

3:21 "-Well, there's no shame in bein' beaten by the best. -But he didn't seem all that... -We were beaten by the best, boy."

Question: The "Homer" ghost says "I wasnt born yesterday - in fact, I wasn't born!" - I don't remember Real Ghostbusters lore very well because I haven't actually seen the show since I was a kid, when it originally was airing - Are the ghosts in the show not supposed to be dead humans? Did they retcon this to make it more kid friendly than the movie or something?

You ever wonder why Donatello does machines? Is it because he has a fear of intimacy?

So THAT'S why the Simpsons don't age!

This episode had a lot of focusing problems lol

You should do "Mean Green Teen Machine" it's basically The Real Ghostbusters vs TMNT

Season 4 onwards was named as “slimer and the real ghostbusters.” Strange right?

I remember watching that when I was young! That’s a long time ago 😂😂

Aren’t the alien species from Jetsons the movie called Grungies too?

I actually remembered this episode but I don't know where I originally saw it but I did Remember it

I wish they’re is a ghost version of flanders in this episode but he’s the same flanders from the Simpsons show and had the same design but he was glowing green and has his actor reprise his role and the simpsons creator Matt (I can’t spell his last name properly) said that Ned Flanders in this episode is 100% canon (I wish that actually happened)

The best crossover for The Real Ghostbusters would have been with 1987's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Hopefully one day they Will adapt the IDW crossover

They camped in their uniforms lol

7:18 - Oof, that misaligned FX layer. 8[

I like this episode,

Strangely enough I bought a cel from this episode on Saturday. It's certainly one of the weaker episodes though

This technically popped up in the GOOD episodes, but shouldn't the Ghostbusters go on vacation in pairs instead of all four members? You know, to prevent stuff like this from happening!

It was fun!

Foul grungy I wasn't born yesterday in fact I wasn't born! So he's the ghost of an unborn baby?

Usually their quality was a lot better story wise and continuity speaking of course , ,cost cuts made them switch to Korean animators at the peak of show's popularity Wich is suspect , , great ratings usually means BIGGER budget , so why they got cheap all of a sudden baffles me , , Real GB is the love-child of Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd , , , in movies I wish they would've replaced Bill Murray with Dave Coulier so GB-3 could've come out more than a decade earlier , , , Murray something they should name toilets because BM is what happens in them , , ,BTW great video man 👍👽

6:00 fart joke😂😂😂

I remember this episode LOL!

Flip side is a bizarre episode

It does look like a large industrial washing machine though. Realest thing about the ep

I remember this episode, it was a smart desision that worked up the simpsons & bundies as a ghostly familly! But think for a second that simpsons were inspired also from married with children as well! 😉

7:54 :OOO

Ay Caramba!

I remembered this one it was ok

I think Lorenzo Music was the better Peter.

Sorta strange to see parody in the 1980's RGB show of a cartoon that is still running to this day. :O

Was this episode even on the air after the Simpsons made their debut in 1989?

Oh yeah, now I remember why I stopped watching TRGbusters. Cause they RUINED IT. This is the same time they came out with the weird fright toys with the double faces etc… really bothered me, which is why i strayed to TMNT… Always longing in my heart for original Real Ghostbusters.

😎👍

Simpsonsbusters. Ghostbusters

If you think the animation errors in this are bad then wait till you watch transformers season 3

I would love to own the real ghostbusters and filmation one

lol they look like ai renders of the simpsons

This one was ok though it was going on what was popular at the time aka the Simpson's, egon using his pack as a booster was the only reason I gave this an 👍 not great but ok

These arent even like ghosts…these just seem to be extradimensional beings lol

IF THE GHOSTS WHERE THE SIMPSONS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WAY BETTER

Still better than the trash cartoons kids have now days 🤣

Can we sign a petition to end the Simpsons? It was dead in 2002

do you talk about characters from other show is being on Ghostbusters or such like that how about Peter Griffin from Family Guy being a ghostbuster there's one episode of The real Ghostbusters I can't remember the title of it but at the end they have Peter venkman sing little Pety venkman going to throw up it kind of a baby talk voice

Oh man I remember I hated this episode even as a kid lol

I always find the excuse "its for kids" to be pathetic, as if children simply dont deserve quality programmer, just whatever some rando exec shits out their ass on a shoestring budget.

Still, imo the worst episode is Fright at the Opera.

I do not remember this episode at all

Well even the Best shows can still have some Bad episodes, some even go so far as to have bad Seasons entirely!

I like the show's background music score and the episodes in this version in the final 2 seasons of The Real Ghostbusters, when it was known as Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters, way better than the first 5 seasons. I liked the later seasons of The Real Ghostubsters, better than the earlier seasons. To me, it doesn't hurts some/several of those episodes in the final two (2) seasons. The Grungy family was patterned after The Simpsons, and their last names of them came from parodies of the Bundy family on Married... with Children. Foul, Pig, Bug, Smelly, Yuk (the Dog), compared to Al, Peg, Bud, Kelly, and Buck (the dog).

I'm so glad that Korean animation has improved drastically. Nowadays, if you're doing animation then there's a good chance that there's a few Koreans if not most involved in the animation for the vast majority of animations that I've seen. If it's anime, there's probably a Korean involved.

Ridiculous

The moment designs and colour pallet got revamped was the moment the shows condition got terminal. 8[

I have to say I didn't like this one just being honest

Yeah.. wasn’t ever a fan of this episode. Even when it came out.

The name of the episode doesn’t even match the content.lol

The series got really bad after season 1 and the syndacated episodes. This episode was one of the worst. Animation went to Korea, instead of Japan, the writing was awful. ABC hired these idiots with Phd's in business atire called "Q5" and they took over the show and destroyed it. This episode inparticular shows how this program was just a lame shell of it's former self. Very sad.

I don't love much after season 3, but this episode is particularly awful. Slimer was the worst.

The later seasons of GB was 👎👎👎💩💩💩 👻❤️🇵🇭

No I did not
