Road Rovers "Russian Names Song"

[ramjet94]

BEHOLD THE REASON THE SHOW WAS CANCELED!!!!!

Not the oh so obvious cussing in what what the final episode but the fact the song is a piece of dog shit....no pun intended

[AgentCack]

this is great.

[washintan]

Voice of Exile : Kevin Miceal Richardson.

He is the voice of Jr and Cletus from The Clevland Show. He serves as additional voices is many other animated shows.

[MDthornton83]

@washintan And he's currently voicing Bulk Head for Transformers: Prime, and Panthro from the new Thundercats show.

[CodizzleS93]

I can't believe I never saw this show before, I used to watch lots of Warner Bros. animation as a young child, my favorite being Animaniacs. I love Blitz for his large ego and timidity and Colleen for her quick whit and karate skills.

[The4EverYoung85]

I'm surprised no one pointed out that the voice of Exile is also the voice of Principal Lewis on American Dad.

[darkslategrey]

what

[washintan]

i cant tell if they are saying "son of a bitch" or Sanovich. Probs the latter. FCC bastereds cancel good show

[Jax009]

This show was better then I remembered. 0:50 THEN they got canned. Tv tropes will explain it.

[AriesGoddess93]

At the end it sounded like they were gonna say "OH SHIT"

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

Next sing about how to make Sandwiches!

[CyberLance26]

You hear people say son of a bitch on TV all the time so most kids should be able to understand this lol.

Atlest me and my friends did not only watch cartoons when we were kids.

I used to watch adult shows and movies on TV all the time.

[ninjamitsuki]

SONUVABITCH

[kevic01]

Dogs that can walk, talk and sing hijos de perra!!!!!

[kevic01]

Dogs that can walk, talk and sing. Hijos de perra!!!!!

[HaloLvl43Legit]

Ruh roh!

[KimKhan]

"Oops!"

[oddooddod]

Whuh.... Did this show always have songs?

[MDthornton83]

@oddooddod Not really. This was pretty much the only musical number they had.

[lovelylittlevulpix]

I guess that they intended to make it sound like "Son of a Bitch" because bitch is also the name of a female dog, and I guess they didn't realize how we view this word today.

[JacobX89]

@lovelylittlevulpix

Yeah, I highly doubt that's what happened. It was almost certainly a bit of humor from the writing staff.

[Animeforever61]

I know the real reason why this show got cancelled.

[DieFlammenwerfer]

I knew this in my Russian language course because of this very song. I wanted to ask the professor if I could sing it.

[jadenprouty13]

hahaha. i never cought that before when i was little. thats awsome. im glad that got through the censors.

[NarutoAnbuFox]

I thought it said sunnamabitch -.-

[fernny619]

It's sad really.I think I'm the only 14 year old who's actually ever even seen this>.>

[MDthornton83]

@fernny619 You're not the only one. I saw this scene when the episode first aired on television. And I was like "What the freaking hell? Are they cursing?" I know that they're actually saying a Russian name and everything. But I have seen this episode during its initial airing.

[SpeaksTooSoon]

In Soviet Russia, radar gets crap past you.

[JKakusei]

This video made me "WTF! LOL!"

Now I want the show to be AIRED again! RRROOAARR!!

[Demon666x3]

FUCK THE FCC I GROWL AT IT! BRING US BACK THE RR!

[TheAeroAvatar]

Sonovovich, really? Did they really think the critics were gonna miss that?

This show had enormous potential, but that was crossing one too many lines, no?

[HangetsuHozuki]

@TheAeroAvatar They did this one because they were already informed that the show was getting cancelled

[sailormoonfan]

nostalgia critic needs to review this show XD

[MDthornton83]

@sailormoonfan Agreed.

[jbstokes13]

omg hahahaha



[IronWaffles]

All dogs are technically sons of bitches.

[ophios]

@IronWaffles except for, you know, the daughters.

[MADDOG6400]

@IronWaffles WIN!

[akimachel]

Score!

[LovecraftianToenail]

Moral: Don't f**k with people who are better with words than you, censors.

You. Will. Lose.

[bluemew22]

The kid's middle name is SONOVOVICHE!! *lights die* Oops.

[MDthornton83]

They could have at least beeped out the parts where it sounded like they cussed instead of just cutting the whole scene out. Like: "The kid's middle name is son of a BEEP!"

[Kaiserraxnos]

at 0:42 the are saying " son of a bitch" ?????

[JaakuSan]

...how did they get that past the radar? Props man, props.

[bluemew22]

@JaakuSan They were already canceled. They were going for broke because there was nothing to lose. and the radar was switched off.

[darakon20]

0.42 I understand son of a bitch

[Kaiserraxnos]

@darakon20 me too hahahah D:

[blackraptor3012]

Просто охереть!

[jonnyveliky]

I am so glad I am of Russian heritage & loving this song :D

[Headbanger142]

In Soviet Russia, Show cancel network!

[thegameking4800]

O_o lol ok then son of a b****

[Ethercast]

Executives: "You guys are so canceled."

[Irishflyboy255]

Uh oh, the producers just killed the show.

[MADDOG6400]

The kid's middle name is "SON OF A BITCH!"

HAHAHAHA! I know it's spelled differently (obvious), but I don't know the exact spelling.

[humoronwheels87]

@MADDOG6400 "Sonovovitch" ... I like to be helpful :D

[PixieStixxandAdderal]

@MADDOG6400 Sonovovich. xD

[washintan]

@MADDOG6400 Sannovich?

[Crashbandicoot701]

@denniso2000 there cartoons, most cartoons have furries well...

did he say son of a bish* in the end? LOL'D hard XD

[kiju243]

@Crashbandicoot701 Sunovich. It's pronounced 'sun-o-veek', but that wouldn't have tied in with the joke.

So...yeah.

[FilmingforPonceinlet]

Kasmir Mionchinskaiailodanovicikhailo­veieilkovichisostovozheikaoroz­ovahknoagnovskaksimov Full Name no lie

[denniso2000]

wtf is it furry fucking noob porn ?

[eskimodude812]

well a female dog is also known as a bitch right?

[hoho330]

@eskimodude812

you blow my mind

[m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

I remember I watched this for the first time and thought ok what's the big deal - it's a little insensitive but no big deal - and then the actual joke kinda smacked me in the face...

[HailstormLeviathon]

so if i heard right exile's father's name is michael.. or the russian equivalent

[NightOcarina19]

@HailstormLeviathon actually it Mikhailo. So Exile's full name is Exilo Mikhailo-ovich SanHusky. =) Im a know it all, lol

[The4EverYoung85]

@NightOcarina19 I heard it as Exile Mikhailovich-Zanhusky. Please note: I don't speak Russian at all (aside from "goodbye," "yes," and "no", which I knew ever since I was kid); I just know Russian name construction and spelling (and I used to be really good at doing a Russian accent, but now I'm not).

[NovemberTR]

LOL XD but WTF?!

[Stauderhorse]

I loved this show and this was hilarious!

[Mewizkuit]

SON OF A BITCH

[ratchetdilema]

Hi my name is jonoven I thin the FCC should make more road rovers show they would make a lot of money and b very popular thumps up if you agree may hunter,colleen,blitz,and exile R.I.P we love you road rovers

[ObiTrev]

I wonder, do censors watch an episode before it airs, or do they get a transcript before it is recorded? would figure a lot of jokes could pass through if for the sake of time it was only via transcripts. Censors are really really busy and important people... NOT!

[Vakama95096]

did they just say "Son of a bitch"?

[KriptoDie]

@Vakama95096 LOL! Maybe since bitch means dog they though it was ok

[NightOcarina19]

@KriptoDie actually they were saying "Sonov-Ovich" which ironicly sounds like "Son of a Bitch." but if it were me who wrote this song i would of used the other name Exile used which was "-Yevitch" instead of "-Ovich" so it would be "Sonov-Yevitch." At least you can hear the difference! lol xD

[7ferret7]

this isn't the only play with words, Blitz said once after Colleens many Whats your names, I'm Starting to hate this bit.

[7ferret7]

Wait.... the FCC is the reason RR was cancelled. WHAT THE F***!!!

[ZeldaDD]

People, it's sonofavitch, but yeah...I'm sure that's what it's supposed to sound like. lol

[vaporizethis]

lol at 0:38

[clapandtouch]

LOLZ. FCC fails so hard. They can go shoot themselves for making television less enjoyable. How much greater television would be without a bleep, bloop, smudge, or group of squares... Useless!

[Harlemlate]

My God this is so funny.

[RRhuntiewuntie]

HAHa

[beastwarsEclipse]

son of a b****

[tracemaster100]

LMFAO OMG did they really televise that? lol i would have payed to have heard that.

[tracemaster100]

lmfao now thats funny XD

[Comilarapa]

Son of a bitch? LOL

[kibaboy4]

and this everyone, is how i learned how to russianize your name XD

[ClassicToonFan64]

Pure gold... Thanks for the video.

Oh, and people, the reason why RR was cancelled wasn't this song, it was that some new laws demmanded there should be more educational TV shows, and WB axed RR and created "Histeria!"

[KairuHakubi]

Made of win.. and it was pretty educational til the last bit, which surely confused people with a name that basiclaly said 'son of' in two different languages.. but.. for a joke.. it is okay..

[minipoppun]

The only thing they didn't mention is if the child is a girl, where does her middle name come from? (Or do girls have middle names?)

[raccoonmatinginyour]

Lulz! Awesome.

[KurtmanJP]

Classic. There should be a Road Rovers revival and it should get a few more seasons. 13 episodes just won't cut it for such an amazing show.

[500746mat]

DUde I loove this show, but i never got to see all of the episodes. Curse you Networking Co., I would so buy this if they sold it on DVD. I never saw this episode, very hilarious and educating.

[Tayune55]

This show should have never been canceled.

[GreenAnonymous]

@Tayune55 This is WHY they were canceled....

[eskimodude812]

@Tayune55 I know, now there letting half baked bullshit on the air instead of a REAL cartoon like this.

[dexter111344]

So if Exilo were to have a son, his middle name would be Exilovich? Wow. Why didn't the FCC consider Russian naming conventions as educational? Damn you FCC and your Russian hating ways! The idiots just gotta claim everything that's actually fun to learn about is "offensive" and "vulgar" and "Communist!" Well I got two words to say to the FCC:

I disagree!

Also, I'm naming my kid Sonovovich.

[SilverZeo88]

Animanics had less subtle "adult" humor in their show. Who could have forget when the doctor said "Let go of my bust."

[psycho1279]

@SilverZeo88 or "fingerprints" when dot was holding prince (the singer) and they both look disgusted at it XD if you havent seen it check it out, in my opinion one of animaniacs best quotes :) ive always loved subtle humor in kids shows i used to watch because i didnt get them but now i can realise how genious it is and laugh hard at "the things theyre getting away with on kids shows these days" :)

[zhazha23]

@SilverZeo88 Or what about that whole "Fingerprints FingerPrince" fiasco?

[The4EverYoung85]

@zhazha23 They never caught that, and now that I know what they were implying, that's even worse than what Road Rovers did. American censorship has always been bipolar (check out what Cartoon Network gets away with when it's not in Adult Swim mode).

[supercoolninjayo]

palcomix has a comic of this... FFFFUUUU RULE 34!

[Larrylarp]

Damn it, why do the most awesome shows get always cancelled.

[rma791]

Exilo's real name is Exile Mikhailovich Zanhusky

[rma791]

no, they actually said sonofovich but it sure does sound like it.

[rma791]

I never saw this show when i was a kid. After watching the first episode, i was hooked and i just had to watch the other episodes, too bad it got cancelled after #13. Anyway back to the video, i just love this song, it's hilarious.

[Harlemlate]

Why can we get away stuff like in today shows people, I mean really this is just to damn hilarious, it's just so sad that the 90's had more balls to show this in a kids cartoon then the 2000's , it's just sad indeed. damn you FCC & curse you Parent groups curse you.

[SSt4rr]

I think a part of my soul just died

[hanzotk]

wtf was that? I feel dumber lol

Translator please =D

[OddOneOut665]

God, if they ever release the complete series of this show on DVD, they BETTER restore this scene in it's rightful place. Last I heard, they cut this scene out the second airing around.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

(Russian)

So true, no errors here!!!

And they got the crap past the radar for sure!

[TheTigerwolf55]

Call me pathetic or naive, but I didn't see any adult humor in that until reading the comments on YouTube. I thought it was just a fun song!

Man, Road Rovers got the short end of the stick.

[morthjr]

He's an actual son of a bitch,

they're dogs.

[NightOcarina19]

they said "son of a bitch" lol

[paranoidman21]

Well, technically they said, "Sonovovich".

[NightOcarina19]

wow... how did i miss that. lol

[LunaChan23]

shus vup uv vitch

[paranoidman21]

It was a clever play with sounds. It sounds enough like "son of a bitch" that the observer's imagination can make up for the rest. There is no way censors would let the real thing slide.

[furryone66]

hell ya

[tigerfang116]

I'm not gonna lie, I don't hear it...I must be deaf.

[Mageoftheair]

It's ok. No one's perfect. I didn't know either till I learned the word b**ch.

[Shack11]

Good night, everybody!

[Shack11]

The censors were TOO dead on that one. I mean, you can hear the "b" xD

[LunaChan23]

i clearly CLEARLY heard son of a bitch

[MiniKirk]

@LunaChan23 glad I'm not the only one...=P

[possiblefurry]

Exile's mid name is mikaelovich.... from the song the true name is michael.... the voice actor of Exile has a middle name of michael

[possiblefurry]

at the end, it sounds like "oh shi..." then the vid ends. lol

[possiblefurry]

OMG That is too funny seriously, what kids show has "sonofabitch" in a song?!?!?!

[dynamicdragon13]

The censors must have been comatose

[Yayo015]

I LOL'D HARD!

I guess this is Road Rover staff's revenge when they heard they're going to get canned D:

[yamiblade]

@Yayo015

It was.

[JisakuJ]

Sweet fuck.

[XIPM3]

son of ovich? thats sounds like something else.

[AJClarinet]

Man, out of all the cartoons and adult humor that flew right over my head as a kid this one didn't. I remember my jaw dropping and thinking I heard wrong because I thought there was no way the cartoon would say anything remotely close to son of a bitch. Then, when the reruns played I noticed they edited this clip. I was like "OMG! I did hear right!" D:

Ah, the good ole days. Back when Ren and Stimpy was on Nickelodeon instead of Spike TV. Lol.

[LinkinParkGameFan]

Is that TRUE?

[unluckylandon]

Exilo Mikailovich SanHuskie... I LOVE THAT NAME!!!!!

[SilverWolfWarrior]

Thanks for putting his name on here. I had the hardest time trying to figure it out. ^_^ Exile is my favorite! <3

[Tkscz]

It's really saying Sonovovich, but it sounds like son of a bitch.

[Moonlitepack]

I am so mad they kicked this show offf

[TyVulpine]

Blame the FCC and their then-new "edu-formal" rule...

[7ferret7]

@TyVulpine To be honest the FCC new law isn't more educational because I swear when I watch Spongbob or Flapjack I feal a little dumber after it.

[rubino83]

Yep, those lights going out is Fox pulling the plub mid-show.

[FroggoFan64]

This was on The WB, not FOX.

[Wolfiefgirl]

call me crazy but I'm pretty sure that last verse they said "son of a bitch"man i miss this show

[ChaosWolf1982]

sonovovich.... rofl.

[TheClodfather]

I love shows with multicultural characters. Heavy accents always ensue. xD

[AnethSvartalf]

That was just awful! 5/5 because I loved it anyway!

[JimmyBrus]

The kids middle name is son of a bitch

[yamiblade]

Why did they cancel this?

[supersaver87]

Because the TV execs woulnd't know a good show if it jumped up and bit them in the butt...and knowing Blitz, it probably did. XD

[Procyonidae]

Probably because of this very clip.

[Lordmaster36]

Even though it only slipped by once, I still can't believe that it did

[TheCripplerChick]

Why would Exile have a full name anyway? Weren't they all originally normal dogs? I remember an episode showing Hunter's mother is nonsentient, therefore their parents can't have named them.

[yamiblade]

Every time you bring logic into a discussion about a 90's kid show, god kills a succubus. Please think of the succubi.

[TheCripplerChick]

But I don't like succubi. Therefore God can kill as many as He wants. ;)

[yamiblade]

Alright then a angel loses it's wings, and implodes.

[AthlonXPlover]

LOL, that was it. As a child I never would have paid attention to that! I use to love this show as a kid......there has to be some serious cursing in a household for a child to say "Son of a what?"

[AwesomeGirl86]

I cannot believe they put that in there! 0_0

Shocking isn't it?

I know I was!

[CoffieDog]

"oops!" is right! Wonder why they put that in the episode, showing kids bad language! It only showed that scene the first time it aired, then it got 'yanked'. ~_~

[XanyKaos]

0.0

Dude. I was just cruising along, thinking it was interesting, if a little rap-lame...and then...bam. Out of left field. Wow.

Man, I miss these shows.

[Joeclaw]

.....

uhm. I was probably too young to comprehend this at the time. xD

[Conchobhar]

I saw this when it originally aired. I'm a member of club awesome.

[KilobyteBrain]

Man, why can't cartoons nowadays be this awesome.

[NowhereMan8521]

They were just using the correct terminology. Are dogs after all..

[VengefulRonin]

Which is probably the only reason it got by censors. Gotta love technicalities xD

[YoshiAngemon]

Dare I say it, because of the profane-sounding innuendo here? Ah, what the heck? I'll say it anyway!

*blows kiss* Goodnight, everybody!

[jlucydaisuke]

You know, I love my mother, but I still haven't forgiven her over a decade later for calling the TV station when this aired, I felt for years that she had a hand in taking Road Rovers, a show I loved dearly, off of the air. Funny song, still a sore memory for me XD

[surferx16]

Ha I Remember This! I Watched It When I Got Home From School One Day And I Remember My Grandma Watching It With Me Lol...When That Sonofovitch Part Came On My Grandma Started Laughing But I Had No Clue Why...But Now I Know Why Lol XD

[PurpleStorm8]

I love the russian accent it's so badass.
