I like how Arthur got away with doing a "South Park", "Beavis & Butt-Head", and "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist" parody on PBS Kids in Season 4's "The Contest": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_6-EKOixUs
> (Dr. Katz etc seem to similarly be trying to mimic this.)
Fun fact: Tom Snyder (of Dr. Katz fame) invented and patented the technique, called "Squigglevision".
"Squigglevision is a patented method of computer animation in which the outlines of shapes are made to wiggle and undulate, emulating the effect of sketchily hand-drawn animation. Tom Snyder of Tom Snyder Productions invented the technique, which his animation studio Soup2Nuts subsequently used in Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, Dick and Paula Celebrity Special, Home Movies, O'Grady, and Science Court." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squigglevision
