For some reason I never had any trouble with Richie Rich comics growing up. Maybe it was because of his pudding face, maybe it was because Richie never seemed to draw any attention to the fact he had all that money, and always looked a little surprised by it. Maybe it was because he was a dork, and I wasn’t threatened by him. BUT I AM SUPER ANGRY AND THREATENED BY HIM NOW. Especially in this trailer from Netflix for their new Richie Rich series (all first season episodes debuting tomorrow, Feb 20). While the show is obviously just another one of those Disney/Nickelodeon kid actor screech fests, this one drives me insane with rage because Richie has a smirk that you want to smack into the next galaxy, the kids look they were plucked directly from a 1990s Sunny-D commercial, and he has a sexy teenage robot maid because he’s a misogynist little prick. Fuck this guy.
GUYS I HATE THIS SO MUCH AND I WANT TO DROWN IT IN AN ACID BATH!!!
Enjoy.
I just sharpied that kid a little hitler mustache, right on my computer screen, and it was worth it.
Good god, man. That child’s sexbot really IS misogynistic.
This is the future.
Some day all humans will be forced to play the role of robots on television.
If a human has sex with a robot, do they create a cyborg?
I can remember (as a kid) liking the awful Macaulay Culkin vehicle of a movie they did with this in the 90’s. And Blank Check too. Man it was nice having no context for what vast personal wealth actually meant.
On the plus side, Netflix does have every episode of PeeWee’s Playhouse you could be showing your kids.
