That brings us to our quote. Skeletor has a number of henchmen who continually fail at whatever task he gives them. To fill them with fear and shame over their failures, he calls them ninnies. I don't know about you, but I don't find that a very intimidating insult. You'd think the Lord Of Darkness could come up with better. But considering the kind of help he has, it's rather fitting.
This site could practically become home to the refugee cartoons of the '80s. This quote involves another fine specimen; He-Man and the Masters of The Universe, which if you haven't seen yet, you should try it sometime. You know the show's gotta be great when part of the title involves Masters Of The Universe. They're not just masters of their company, household or nation; they're the masters of the Universe, and that's gotta mean they're very good. The main villain of the He-Man series is the evil Skeletor, who has a skull for a face and a very nasty disposition. He's also a powerful magician, and ripped too if you look at his picture. Then again, every person in the He-Man universe has MASSIVE muscles, including the king and the lazy prince. For reasons not worth explaining, and not really existant, Skeletor wants to take over all of Eternia. So he continually hatches schemes that have only one problem: he must defeat He-Man to accomplish them. Which he never can manage to do.
Merman: He can control fish or something, but continually falls off huge heights and screams for Skeletor's help.
Whiplash: This lizard like guy has a long tail, and is often sent to 'get people'. His school of fighting involves waving your hands wildly above your head before getting whacked.
Jitsu: This guy's real weakness is his inability to ever show up.
Beast-Man: He's a real beast, but never does anything useful.
