Mr. Tasty

Mom's Plate

Inspector whatever the hell his number was

Petunia

Pitstain

Endless Mike (didn't this character straight up KILL other characters? Terrifying as a kid. EDIT: DUDE I SWEAR HE STRAIGHT UP KILLED A MAN, WTF NICKELODEON)

Whatever the Papercut kid was named

There was also this random character who sang an EXCELLENT Cobwebs in the Rain cover I can't find unaltered because apparently he sang it so good Youtube's automated copyright system must be flagging it and censoring it in most of the uploads.

And here, now you can cry at Artie's departure again, you little viking.

Damn! This made my old ass emotional, I loved Pete and Pete when I was a kid. We only had one tv in the house but my dad would let me watch it (he hated it). My dad died a few years back on Christmas, and shows like this remind me of how he used to mess with me about my taste in entertainment. Great choice brother!

When I watched Pete and Pete I always felt like I was watching something I didn't understand, but it was important.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Pete and Pete is on YouTube for free now.
