I completely forgot that he killed and stole a kids body from his introduction episode lol thats crazy with how comedic and spooky they made his introduction episode
@@bewarebewear1507 he never stole his body, he just took his appearance, but yeah, the kid is dead
@@Rygore_BoldHeart grow up, it's just a misinformation about the show that I like, so I replied to the false information comment to clear up some info, with no intention to mock the person who left this comment or appear smarter than them
What makes the kid's fate outside of this episode even more confusing is that Nergal Jr. doesn't need to harm his victims to assume their forms considering he shapeshifted into Mandy and and she was fine throughout the entire episode.
To do so he’d probably need a original form, which means after hatching he’d need to feed an create a body to then be able to shift. (Only speculating cause you don’t see what comes out of the egg)
If the kid lived I’m almost certain he was institutionalized 😂😂 definite trauma
The reason he freezes them is so that he can take their place, can’t have two of the same people after all
I never thought that he killed this kid and stole his body, I thought he simply froze him and shapeshifted into him like he did with the rest
i forgot that he stole a kid's body 💀
Same here I thought that was his original form, sadly we never saw his true from
Yeah, that seems about the right kind of scarring for Billy and Mandy XD
I’m fairly certain that they had the concept art for Nergal Jr & made some lore stuff up on the spot. Why do you think the dead kid looks EXACTLY like he’d be the son of his human mother?
A venom symbiote needs to wear glasses for a child corpse?
Nurgal is an fact in ancient Babylonian God that would make nurgal jr a demigod
@Jo-dp5go No that’s my point, I doubt either of them really “need” to wear glasses but it’s so apart of their aesthetic they almost act like Velma 😂😂
@Jo-dp5go Nah I definitely remember a few times during a fight she would reach for them mid-battle with a sexy ✨flourish ✨ it could be a a cute gag tho like when she blows a kiss
Nergal jr is probably a mimic: a creature able to copy appearence of everything and everyone, including boxes
@@nicolaverzeletti1684 he can turn into animals, humans and even items, as I remember
I think you're thinking of shapeshifters. Mimics can do that but only to lure in victims to kill for food. Nergle isn't eating them, at least I hop not.
They hang out with Death. The show embraces people dying as a concept, with such a fantastic sense of humor.
Lol right 😂 This show is so macabre I fucking love it! There's an episode where Billy turns into chocolate and he eats himself at the end 😂😂 Bro just dies 💀
I believe that Nergal is less supposed to be a demon and more an Eldritch horror, referencing Nyarlathotep specifically if memory serves.
Also, there's Nurgle from Warhammer, the Daemon-God of Plague and Death.
billy and mandy was full of old horror/scifi references. Referenced cthulhu before he became an internet meme, the show also referenced dune a whole lot. like I'm pretty sure Maxwell Atoms must be a big dune fan, or at least one of the lead writers was.
@@BananaMike780Yeah my friend told me that the episode where Mandy takes over the world and becomes a worm monster and clones Billy's to keep her company was a Dune reference. I had no idea haha I just assumed it was the show being weird as usual 😂
Nergal looked like he's from Dexter's Labatory.
Many forget it or are just plain unaware, but through cameos and specials, PowerPuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Billy and Mandy, and Johnny Brovo are all canonically connected. (Plus the irl band Gorillaz but that ain't the focus here) I wouldn't be surprised if there was background cameos of Jr's person in one the other mentioned shows, however I am not capable of the focus needed to check each show individually. I don't think I ever saw Jr's episode as a kid, but when I scrolled upon this I thought he looked pretty familiar as someone who watched PPGs the most. The eyes are like eerily familiar.
funny but i also think the voice actor for NJ is also the same actor for jimmy nuetron
I LOVE the Nergal family, they were my whole vibe
I loved Grandmomma's in this show, the 'your mama' jokes always makes me holler 😂😂😂😂😂
Looking back I have no idea how they aired this with kids basically being unalived. Invader Zim tried the same thing but Nick MADE them put in additional lines basically making it seem like they were still alive. XD
I think they removed it later, or it cuts off, but during the Invader Zim Christmas special, "Santa" throws a bus. While people run away to not get hit by the bus, there's a guy who just stands there and spreads his arms in acceptance before he gets crushed by the bus 😂
Legitimately every Nergal episode is my favorite episodes of the show
This show was one of the best shows of all time. The clown episode had me crying as a kid. "They are going to destroy us all!"
The Nergals have what they wanted:
Nergal and Jr wanted to make a friend and Sis wanted love. The one individual who made it possible was Billy. With help from Grim and Mandy.
Junior stole his face from a poor nameless SOB that was never seen again. Well, technically we still see the kid, but it’s not HIM him. 😆
This show casually killed people off left and right tbh. You saw some instances but it wasn’t gore so you had a feeling “okay maybe they are okay.” And one time they outright exploded Billy’s head and ate it (it was turned to chocolate)
Iirc Billy ate himself in that episode 😂 He couldn't resist the temptation of CHOCOLATE!!
Cartoon Network had those classics
I love Nergal Jr so much lol
Idk at the time there barely was time to process what we were watching if you had regular cable or basic to be able to watch any good shows but this show we only knew about is The grim adventures of Billy and Sandy what a trip.
I remember asking my mom “are those people dead? Why are they dead?” When I was a kid and she said I couldn’t watch this show anymore. I still watched it even thought it creeped me out. 😂
I adore Nergal's family and Jack o'Lantern
Oh i remember Nergel he's basically a no face monster wearing a possible dead kid's skin....
@@greendude7650 no, he just took his appearance. And he has a face in his true form.
This show was such a acid trip before i knew what a proper trip was😂
I needw rewatch this show someday-
NJ takes on the form of the unknown kid however, I don’t think he stole his body. I think he just uses his appearance as his base form.
He reminds me of the silent French kid that doesn't show up anymore 😥👁️👁️👁️
Nergal Jr: Don’t worry that person that helped me give me my form is perfectly fine though I may have caused them some brain damage and sent them to the void… I’m sure they’re fine
I almost forgot that Nergal Jr stole some kid's body. I mean, a lot of the episodes end with something really bad happening to someone. Like getting trapped in a hell dimension or something.
@@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985 no, he didn't stole the body, just the appearance.
Jack was trapped in hell at the end of his special jeez that was dark
I can't stop thinking about him being a Dexter's Lab character (due to the resembance in the glasses)
It's really funny to remember "Oh yeah, He's Billy's cousin.".
Oh man😂😂 I love this show! Used to watch it as a kid in Nigeria ALL THE TIME😂 It really blended horror a d comedy so well. Seriously, the Grim Reaper being a Jamaican was brilliant 😂😂
And to think Junior shares the same VA as Jimmy Neutron
That is a loophole for starters of friend more likely a relative cousin that's kind of good to help supporting
Im crying so much and wanting to send this to my friends but none of them play Star Rail 😂 😭 (help me. HELP. ME.) these are preciously hilarious!! 🥰😂💕✨
I still think that boy Junior got his human form from is dead.
I think Billy and Mandy is still one of my favorite cartoon shows ever
I had suchhh a biiiig fat crush on Nergal Jr 2nd to him Irwin, I love characters with glasses 🥺 he was great along with his dad
Nergal Jr. was THE guy back when I was a kid
"Uncle nergal...... when you gonna leave..?"
Yeah, Nergal Jr’s introduction was kind of a spoof of The Thing, but the thing where he buried people in snowmen was probably taken from this obscure killer kids movie from the 1970s called The Devil Times Five.
I have Billy and Mandy all the seasons on DVD bootleg cuz they only made season 1 on the company and that was me and my daughter's show growing up. And Powerpuff girls
A green egg with glasses you say?
GEGG SPOTTED
nergal jr looks like a mix of zim and dib omga
I loved this show growing up almost want to see if i still would enjoy it
He looks like the kid that Mandy was in love when they did the parody of greesse . And he was the cool kid with sunglasses and not glasses
He looks like Dib from Invader Zim
That poor unnamed kid probably isn't even on a missing poster. TBH, Nergal's (hybrid) species probably latches onto the first human they see, and that human ceases to exist while their body becomes the newborn hybrid's base form.
@@nightmare348 no, he had his true form, it's a blob with glasses, so he just constantly presents as this dead kid because it's easier to fit in
That’s right we never did find out what happened to that kid. 😂
Nurgal? Green? Demon? WARHAMMER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember as a kid being confused that Junior just kept that look after his first appearance since all this happened.
Nergal...part demon-
Nurgle, NURGLE!? PLAGUE FATHER, CHAOS GOD!?
GRANDFATHER NURGLE, PRAISE BE!
I love it
Even as a kid i was waiting for someone to bring it up his parents never showed
Looking back, you can really see the inspiration for Hazbin Hotel.
Can we get a short about Jack o'Lantern? I think people need to know just how dark this show can get
i think that the first victim was some kid that even his parents didnt loved and Nergal Jr took over his body but the kid seeing that Nergal Jr.'s parents gave him so much love might have made him stayed fused with Jr for the rest of the series.
at least that is how i saw it and belived it to bee when i was a teen and seeing how insane this series is i think that is the most logical conclusion...
Purge the hieratic’s call the gray knights
I thought about this the first time I saw it
Ok, so I recently rewatched the whole series and I just want to mention that Nergal Jr. isn’t a body snatcher, he’s a shape shifter
I kinda think he's both? It's implied that the kid he took the form of is dead. So maybe he only needs to body snatch one person for his base form and then he can shape-shift? I dunno the show leaves it kinda ambiguous
@@Sqwivig he has his own form, it's a blob. So he just took this kids appearance bc it was the first human that he met. He was selfish at the start of the episode so he probably left that kid in the snow and never came back to free him
i thought that was just what he looked like i'm ngl 😭
Do you know, who i am, they call me judgement boy.
I forget about that.
Can we have part 5 please 🙏
You know, as a kid, I saw the episode introducing Nergal Jr, when it came out, and completely forgot that he killed another kid to get that body.
@@patrickdees5256 he never stole the body, just the appearance
But he left that kid to die anyway
Hoss del guapo was my favorite
jack is The only Billyandmandy Character i know About
It's official. He is a skin walker xD
That's a cthulu mythos reference
I think it's more like he took over his body which is why he always looks like him we never see his original out of egg form.
This show gives me such a weird atomic nostalgic 50s feeling. Like kinda like fallout? Does anyone know what I’m talking about or am I just crazy.
My favorite episode of all time, is when Billy & his friend are playing a knockoff pokemon card game and grim makes the monsters real.
Time ago, I kinda had a weird idea that he HAD to find him, that the body and the self were born separately, and Jr's consciousness and being had to find and hunt him to be complete, when the demon was born, the kid was also there, is just counting the days until they find eachother and the self claims the I
@@salvia272 he has his true body, he doesn't need another, he just shapeshifts into the kid to fit in with other human kids
At the start of the episode Jr is in the egg form and the kid is like 9 already
Hoss Del Gado
Still have to say one of my favorite characters to this day because the sheer stupidity of the character and because of the fact that it's cobra what still makes me laugh is hos del gatto I love how over the top and crazy and stupid he is
Fred Fredburger #1 in my heart
you want to know what it's like to hunt a bloodthirsty werewolf through the Canadian outback? You're lucky to come back negative 5% alive.
NURGL REFERENCE
How did I never put that together! He straight up killed a kid and is masquerading around as him.
Ngl billy deserved what he got in that episode like after mandy comes in breaks nergal's teddy bear billy feels sad and tells him he would be his friend if he showed billy his true form to which nergal does show him and billy responds by yelling "thats the most hideous thing ive ever seen" like billy made nergal show his true self in order to become friends and billy shat on that immediately
Did Butch Hartman made Billy and Mandy
Nergal jr is my favorite character but I don’t understand why his dad wanted to be related to Billy so badly
Dracula baby
What- So Junior would've *always* looked like an egg normally(maybe?), I didn't notice that!
@@unripetheberrby6283 no, he hatched at the start of the episode. His true form is a blob
That episode never aired on my country
whenever i hear his name i think about warhammer
I never realized this. I just thought he looked dorky
I miss thus cartoon fondly. So bumed it was denied a sequel. Or it is revial?
@@naotokamigire-terumi9912 the spin-off show actually.
Still waiting for the reboot of gaobam.
@DrMold13 Thanks...Could you give me a recap of Gaobam? I've never heard of it.
@@naotokamigire-terumi9912 it's the cartoon the short is talking about. You just made a comment about it, that you miss this cartoon fondly.
Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy. It's so long so I don't want to type the full name of it 😅
Egg
Well hey, Castiel’s body isn’t his own
Difference is he didn’t steal it
Nergal got together with Billy's Aunt Sis so he is Billy's cousin
But it pales in comparison to shows like The Simpsons, South Park, SpongeBob, Family Guy, The Fairly Odd Parents, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Rick & Morty, Futurama, The Powerpuff Girls, The Amazing World of Gumball, Pokémon, Adventure Time, Samurai Jack, etc where the side characters often outshine the maincast, for better or for worse.
The more I think about it, the more I think Billy & Mandy missed the mark with a lot of their side characters because, honestly, I can't think of too many and I watched the show all the time growing up.
They really nailed the main characters with Billy & Mandy, they are the most funny aspect of the show and a constant one at that!
Billy & Mandy is like Invader Zim, The show shines with its maincast and the side characters are just that, usually unimportant and not as interesting.
It's not a problem with either show, it's just the way they are.
I've literally never seen this episode and I've seen just about every episode of Billy and Mandy multiple times that's weird
Did they recreate this show
Ironically, the features of the kid he took over fit the family resemblance perfectly.
It also fits the cartoon profiles like Timmy's dad, Cosmo, and Danny phantom 😂
That was probably juniors plan tbh I wonder how his parents reacted tho lol
What family?
