Dave, I have an immense amount of respect for you. RAB pretty much shaped my childhood, which could explain a good many things. Either way, I've stuck with it 'till the end and loved every second! Thank you for contributing to the history of Newgrounds!

Your loyal fan,

Alex

Congrats man, gave NG an amazing series and kids who grew up on the web have you show as the influence for many animators , You left your mark man, not many people can say that.

Happy BirthDAVE RAB! Hope to see 24. If not, I love the series and still enjoy every one.

BTW, saw number 9 on here the other day, and laughed my ass off. Still funny as ever.

What I consider a staple of NG to this very day... RAB is one of NG's greatest submissions ever. NG wouldn't be the same if you hadn't created such a masterpiece. Still funny as all get-out, and it was your cleverly and numerously placed easter eggs that got me inspired to attempt to animate also.

I'm getting to be older myself, I hope that age don't keep you from animating more RAB episodes. Don't let time pass you by for all the cool stuff you can share to "us" your fans. =-)

Hey Dave been a fan for well almost 10 years I guess you can say which is hard to believe. I do have to agree that it's time to put the retarded animals down though. No show can survive ten years and not to get stale...except for maybe star trek but only as long as they keep adding wars and epic space battles n stuff.

Anyways thanksf or the episode and when you officially end the series I will support that as well.

The only thing that truly offended me though was that episode where God makes puppy lick peanut butter off his you know what is implied...I know it was just a joke but I think that one was going a bit far to the point that it ruins the chuckles that was building then crashes it down into a pretty uncomfortable level. So you were a cunt to do that but I still applaud your work, great quality and hard work.

I hope you and the family are doing well and look forward to seeing more work come from ya on here. Can you let us know what your next project may be, or is RAB still on the table for a while?

Hmm after re reading his post seems like he hasn't given much shit for a long time. He's just too old for this crap anymore, was funny back in the day but who at his age would want to do this anymore? Would be kinda degrading in a way, other 40 year olds saw this, probably want to stay away, couldn't blame then but I'm not 40 I'm 25, and have watched this almost as long as he has been making them.

Was a fun run but if you dont care about doing it anymore why fuck with our bush and just say hey guys I'm done someone else can make them?

I have a thought what if Dave went comic book on this pass it on to a new animator and writer, still would like the same voices though. maybe find some one who can keep the show going add some fresh ideas with the same core material. Hardest part would be finding someone who won't screw it up and make the fans form an angry mob. True this isn't the most inspired or witty show but it's not supposed to be it's supposed to be entertaining after a hard day of work log on to newgrounds and laugh either from little jokes or comedic violence plus i liked how his latest episodes had some continuity puppies failed marriage or bunnies depressing immortality. But this was all just a thought it's up to others to make it a reality.

I just never could get interested in RAB, though I sat in awe of all sorts of other disgusting, disgraceful NG-nonsense since about 2003, it just never made it into my life. Perhaps I will give it a second chance someday. All the best though, Dave. Much respect.

I've been following Retarded Animal Babies for over 7 or 8 years. It's good to know that it has gotten this far.

Bob-the-Bandy 2013-06-20 03:53:02

I realize now I was 11 when my brother first showed me RAB and Newgrounds. And I am so proud that as a 21 year old raging alcoholic, its still hilarious. Thanks for the memories Dave.

Rusecue 2013-09-01 23:35:33

Man, I'd just like to say thanks, since this is one of the few things I still remembered from this site, and remembered fondly. When I came back, five years later and discovered that there were more episodes, I watched all the old ones and the new ones. I was disappointed that 9 still wasn't on, but it's finally posted and I can now watch it, cause I'm a cheap bastard :D Haha, but seriously, thanks for all the memories Dave. If the muse strikes you, I hope to see more again soon.

When is next episode of RAB ?

Scroler 2013-11-15 00:12:24

Is it safe to assume he is done with this series? Why not give us a heads up?

reid99 2013-11-21 08:24:52

any plans for a 24th?

VicariousE 2014-03-30 06:47:29

And very soon will be your 11th year here... it's already my 13th :\ Hey, add the http://www.anythingnapkin.com/ link to your page man! I never would've known about it, but, while I was looking at the top rated movies, RAB 9 came up, and I noticed the new link at the bottom.

That's really fantastic work you've done, just need to think of something... A PS4, humping an Xbox, humping a PS, humping an NES, humping a Colecovision, humping an Atari 2600.. which is trying to hump a cracked game of Pong :( I really don't want that. But I'll let you know what I want soon!

Any chance you'll trek to Glenside late April? Might be the last one there, Tom's putting the old NG HQ up for sale after the party...

Scroler 2014-07-12 04:12:11

Well fuck Dave he hasn't shown any love for his fans for well over a year now, no sorry I'm done with RAB or hey got one coming up or anything, not a peep.

Meh oh well most of the legends on this site have left for greener pastures, or just done animating in general. It's time consuming and doesn't pay.

Dave, my friends and I are all just hitting our 30s. I wanted to say THANK YOU for the hours of endless entertainment and laughs you gave us those many years ago. Seriously, kids these days will never know what the internet looked like before YouTube. Back in the day with original New Grounds and OG flash animation. RAB was one of the most impacting things in highschool. After hours of Rifts or D&D we would turn to episode 5 for a great laugh! Thanks again for defining more childhoods then you know!
