An under-appreciated talent of the Rankin/Bass stop motion movies was that if they wanted a character to look like a real person it looked just exactly fucking like them
I like to imagine Slappy from Spongebob and Yetch from Mad Monster Party would have some beef. Mostly one sided but still.
They're both zombie Peter Lorre parodies who both have the same jobs (butler for a famous horror movie character) and both have a red headed love interest (Slippy and Francesca). One is better at their job than the other and one has a much more successful relationship than the other. Also they both share the same reoccurring gag of getting decapitated.
I just love petty rivalries, there isn't much else to it. I particularly like the idea of Yetch unreasonably hating Slaps because he has everything Yetch wants, while Slappy purposely keeps provoking Yetch for shits and giggles but keeps playing innocent.
In other words, I want to see these two fight to the death (can they die?)
