Todd was voiced by Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother, Doogie Houser MD, and the Harold and Kumar series of films. Lisa was voiced by Danica McKellar of the Wonder Years.
"Hey! Maybe you have it too! Maybe you and he...!" Am I the only one who instantly thought that the kid was assuming that they both had AIDs because of gay sex? I can't be. I just can't be. :O That's where everyone thought HIV came from in the 1980's.
So much I can say about this, but I'll choose to focus on something no one else has mentioned. The girl talking at the end has the same voice as Phil and Lil from the Rugrats! lol
i remember thinking back to this episode nowadays and i vividly remeber them doing a episode on aids but i though "no way, it must be me. there no way captain planet did an episode on aids" but sure enough, wow i cant believe this aired back then. this would never fly today thats for sure
You know as corny as this show always was... It never sugar coated anything and it really taught kids important things instead of "How many apples are in this tree" kind of shit. GO PLANET!!!
Wait, so they're not even going to attempt to give us a fucking backstory on those two rat-faced motherfuckers? They're just gonna assume we already know where they came from and why they like to fuck around with random, annoying high school students? Fuck you, Captain Planet, fuck you.
Saw this in related videos on a video a while back... I am high again watching this I am gonna watch it every time I get high hahahaha its fucking crazy
I think the critic said this before, but yeah, why are these villains tormenting some random kid with HIV. Don't they have anything better to do, like leave the gas on in their car, or littering?
I'm glad this is up on youtube. I remember it from when I was a kid. Nobody believes me when I say there was an AIDS episode. In any case it didn't scar me for life.
Venomous skum is now officially the MOST SCREWED UP villain ever. Seriously, He tells the town a high school child has AIDS for the SOLE PURPOSE of spreading hate and AIDS. WTF
@iTheTruth42 pretty much and HIV is NOT AIDS. Seeing it written as "HIV/AIDS" is misleading. There's still a lot of ignorance surrounding the virus and syndrome and it's now 2012.
@RobertLeabo Yep, I know. I've read way to many stories (mostly fanfic) online where it looks like the person who wrote it got their information by skimming an out of date sex-ed book from their local library or something. It get especially annoying if the character is HIV+ canonically. Seriously, at the very least these people could have read the Wikipedia article!
What a terrible cartoon. I'm so sad I use to spend so much time watching this cartoon. Not that I wanted to it was just the only thing I can find that was on.
2:24 "I don't know how to tell you this, Todd. So I'll let these guys do it!" The Planeteers step in: "You have aids. (Yes you have aids.) I hate to tell 'ya boy that you have aids. (you've got the aids.) You may have got it when you stuck that filthy needle in here. Or maybe all that unprotected sex what you hear, it isn't clear. But what we're certain of is you have aids. (Yes you have aids.) Not HIV but full blown aaaaaaids."
For those of you asking: "How did our hero Todd get infected?" Remember--the doctor mentions the blood transfusion he had a while back. That did happen back then--when HIV was young.
That's Neil Patrick Harris-Doogie Howser himself--as the doomed Todd. Nice job he and everyone else did here.
@RasmusKudahl It is not an animation. It is a fairly quick slide show to trick people to believe it is animation. xD Like flip notes. When I watch this I feel like playing modern games on an old computer.
They explain perfectly well enough how he might've got the HI-virus (drugs, sex or blood transfusion). However, the 6'2" walking rat in a trench coat...absolutely baffling and inexplicable.
The HI-virus seems to be explained somewhat rationally, the doc sez he might've gotten it from a used drug needle, unprotected sex or a blood transfusion he got some years ago as blood wasn't tested for HIV back then. However the 6'2" rat in a trench coat sneaking around in public school and it's grounds...absolutely baffling and inexplicable.
So..... were 4 to 9year olds supposed to be worried about AIDS, needle use and unprotected sex in the early 90's???? How are the Planeteers goin to help the environment with this.
So the girl with the power of water was useless when they were about to drown?
