The Ripping Friends: os homens mais viris do mundo!

Kricfalusi and his long-time partner Jim Smith created the Ripping Friends before they created the similar superhero Powdered Toast Man for The Ren & Stimpy Show. After Nickelodeon fired Kricfalusi from The Ren & Stimpy Show in September 1992, he had plans to make a feature film starring the world's "manliest men".[3] The feature film plan was scrapped, but the characters were used in The Ripping Friends. Also, as early as a 1987 story session for the Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Kricfalusi, who would go on to develop the concept for The Ripping Friends for around a decade, had proposed using a wad of gum as a character, an idea which was employed to create the first villain for the new series, the Indigestible Wad.[4][5] The Ripping Friends was slated to premiere in September 2000 alongside another Spümcø show on Fox Family, The Heart Aches, which follows the adventures surrounding a girl band.[6] The latter one never made it to television, and The Ripping Friends first aired a year later, after missing another premiere slated for May 2001,[7] lasting for thirteen episodes. The budget was set to US$400,000 per episode.[6]
