Was Cousin Skeeter a Puppet or Something More

Guys, hear me out, what if Cousin Skeeter wasn't just a puppet? The show never mentioned he’s a puppet in their universe, everyone treated him like a real person. What's up with that? Sometimes I wonder if Skeeter was meant to be an actual sentient puppet existing in their world - super meta if you think about it. Nickelodeon hiding the truth??

Cousin Skeeter as a sentient figure is a reflection of Nickelodeon's bold storytelling. They weren't afraid to push the envelope and experiment with off-the-wall concepts. It's all about pushing the imagination of the audience, making us question the fabric of the show's reality. Nick was way ahead of its time, blending surreal comedy with relatable teen drama. Skeeter being more than a puppet? It's all part of the magic that was Nickelodeon in the 90s!

If you look at behind the scenes stuff, the creators probably just wanted Skeeter to stand out. We see him as a puppet, but in-universe, he's just another kid with a super unique look. Reminds me of 'Alf' or even 'Eureeka's Castle.' Not deep, just different!

Nickelodeon hiding the truth?? Sure, and SpongeBob is an allegory for nuclear testing. C'mon, it's a kids' show, not a documentary on Area 51 🛸👽

idk, I always thought it was funny that nobody mentioned he's a puppet. That's just Nick being Nick. Weird is what they did best back in the day 🙃

The concept of Cousin Skeeter as a sentient being within the show's context has always fascinated me. Consider other examples of this in media, like the characters in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' where cartoons are living among humans. Nickelodeon was possibly experimenting with this boundary-blurring narrative. Plus, having a puppet as a main character without acknowledging its puppet-hood adds to the charm and suspension of disbelief common in 90s shows.

You might be onto something man. Nickelodeon has a history of messing with our heads. Remember how in 'Rocko's Modern Life' they sneak in adult jokes? Cousin Skeeter being sentient could be a huge hidden message we all missed. Skeeter represents the alternate persona living within us, the unrestrained ID. Wake up sheeple, Nickelodeon's been teaching us about Freud this whole time!

Lol, that's a throwback! I always figured Skeeter was just a quirky character choice for the show. Never deeply thought about the meta aspect, but Nickelodeon did love to slip in bizarre humor. It's like he's a puppet to us but a 'real boy' to the show's universe. 🤔
