What it is
Inside Out Boy was a series of claymation shorts that aired on Nickelodeon from 1989 to 1993 during the commercial breaks about a boy turned inside out. He had the power to be gross.
Thoughts
Actually, he had an adorable aesthetic if you didn't think about how being inside out would work.
I forgot about this. I totally forgot about this. But one glimpse and I remembered seeing the shorts in between episodes of Pete & Pete.
Each short featured a conflict and Inside Out boy resolving the problem. In one short he gets arrested for robbing a bank. He explains what happened and they let him go. In another short he helps a classmate cover for the fact that he didn't do a science fair project.
It's got a very cute style to soften the distressing premise of a boy with his organs and bones on the outside. The idea that swung on his swing over the bar is a perfect bit of kid logic. It made sense to me at the time I saw them.
