Thanks to my niece and nephews I have acquired a rather odd new obsession.
His name is Shnitzel.
He is a character from the show on the Cartoon Network called "Chowder". Shnitzel (the spelling has been checked on the official Chowder website btw) is an employee of the chef Mung Daal. Chowder, the show's namesake, is Mung's apprentice who dreams of becoming a great chef one day.
Anyhoot, for me, it's ALL about Shnitzel. He's a rock monster who talks by saying "Radda Radda". He's funny and absolutely adorable. Easily a scene stealer and probably the best part of this show.
Here's a Shnitzel promo . . .
Here is a lovely best-of compilation . . .
What can I say? There's a part of me that refuses to grow up. I think I might rank Shnitzel right up there with my ALL-TIME-FAVE . . .
If you've never seen "Chowder", you can watch episodes online and read all about it on the official website: http://www.chowdercartoon.com
I also really like the show Flapjack. It's surreal, bizarre, and kind of brilliant actually. Now I wonder if they make Shnitzel stuffed animals . . . .
P.S.-- Is it possible to be too old to enjoy cartoons?
Naaah
(Radda Radda!)
