Production notes
2 Stupid Dogs was a show about just that: Little Dog and Big Dog, two canines with a nose for trouble and not enough brains to get out of it. The show was a break from Hanna-Barbera's traditional style, animated more along the lines of Ren and Stimpy than Scooby-Doo. The show also shared Ren and Stimpy's taste for booger jokes and potty humor mingled into plot-free exercises in unbridled wackiness.
The premise was simple: Little Dog was the loudmouth with a deathly fear of cats, Big Dog was his mellow companion. A broad-shouldered human named Hollywood appeared on most episodes to antagonize the dogs, uttering his instant catchphrase, "Isn't that cute... But it's WROOOONG!!" The show was filled with throwaway one-liners that fans have been bandying about ever since: "It tastes like caca," "Where's the food?" "(Monkey to astronaut): I think you've been drinking too much Tang," and Little Dog's catchphrase, "Ball!"
2 Stupid Dogs also brought the return of a little-known character from the Hanna-Barbera archives: Secret Squirrel. Each episode of 2 Stupid Dogs featured a Super Secret Squirrel segment, spoofing the 1960's spy craze with the title squirrel, his bull superior Chief, and his Peter Lorre-inspired assistant Morocco Mole.
2 Stupid Dogs endeared themselves to viewers with their endlessly hilarious stupidity. In one episode, Little Dog tried to use a hand puppet to fool a cat into thinking there was food in another alley. After a brief conversation with his puppet, Little Dog fooled himself instead, calling the puppet a liar when the truth came out.
After two seasons of original episodes in syndication, the show moved to Cartoon Network.
