CatDog - "Winslow's Home Videos."

Now I'm going to review something that was on a certain Nickelodeon tape before a popular 1998 movie came along. I'm of course talking about the CatDog short episode, "Winslow's Home Videos."

What's the story? There isn't one. It's pretty much just Winslow showing the viewers about all the crazy stuff that Cat and Dog have done together like breakfast for example, putting in too much hot sauce onto a taco, causing Cat to breath fire, their quiet bike ride in the park being ruined by those greasers, and of course, Dog's game of Sailor Dog getting a bit out of hand. Although, it wasn't previously recorded. It was actually recording already in Cat and Dog's own bathroom. It's like as if there was a title card that said, meanwhile or something. Anyways, a giant wave hits the house and Winslow ends up stuck upside down and the episode ends.

Much like the Krusty Krab Training Video, this episode didn't need a plot to be funny, it needed to be funny to be funny. Thanks to Dean Stefan and Dan Povenmire, this episode pulls out all the stops, like putting on too much hot sauce on a taco, Cat burning Dog to a crisp accidentally, the TV jumping up and down during the greasers' attack, and of course, Dog's pretend squid attack that is accidentally making Cat a bit wet. Dog's not being mean he just doesn't know any better. It doesn't help either that Dog decides to bring up a tidal wave and ride it all across the house! HOW DOES HE DO THAT?! And for that matter, how can they surf inside?!

Even on the Rugrats Movie DVD and VHS without the title card, this episode in my opinion was pretty funny, and it was the last of the three three-minute shorts that aired during the second season, Much like "Dog the Mighty" however, I thought this was from the first season.

All in all, Winslow was a great host for his home videos, and Carlos Alazraqui has a lot of charm portraying the role making sound an awful lot like Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life. As a matter of fact, a lot of people who worked on Rocko's Modern Life worked on this show.

In conclusion, this episode is a short but funny comedy fest.
