With the long Halloween nearly over it’s time to commemorate the day the way we commemorate every great holiday, with a nod to one of the most under-appreciated shows of its time – neigh, of any time – The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Like the show did with New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day (and, as we’ll see in just a few short days, Daylight Savings), Pete & Pete refused to let a great holiday pass by without putting their very specific mark on the event. We proudly present, once again, “Halloweenie.”
First, congratulations to Jumped The Snark on two decades of cutting edge, premier, trenchant, award-winning* pop culture commentary. The aughts were good to us, but we’re really excited about reaching new highs in the Roaring Tens.
But before we really hit the new decade you didn’t think we’d begin 2010 without a relevant New Years Eve video, did you? Come on! You should know us better by now!
Of course, the obvious and really only choice for this was, as we teased earlier, the last Pete & Pete special before it became a regular series, the epic “New Year’s Pete.” Little Pete tries to make the better world for all mankind, but realizes that New Years resolutions, and life itself, can be pretty futile. Dark stuff for a quasi-kids show. And probably the only show on Nickelodeon ever to show a character smoke cigarettes. But hey, that’s real life.
