Why they might be annoying:

    It is pronounced Klaz-key Chew-poe.
    They produced direct-to-video Ronald McDonald cartoons.
    An executive at Gracie Films (producers of 'The Simpsons') said of Klasky-Csupo, 'They were all nuts. They were wonderful artists, but honestly, it was a madhouse.'
    They have been accused of downplaying 'Rugrats' co-creator Paul Germain's contributions to the show.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The only possession Csupo took with him when he fled Communist Hungary was his collection of Frank Zappa records.
    They continued to run the studio together after their divorce.
    Csupo said, 'People are always trying to dig up dirt, but there's really nothing to hide. We have a very good, healthy relationship.'
    Matt Groening said, 'What I love about them is their stuff looks like no one else.'
