The Goddamn George Liquor Program is a 1997[2][3][4] Adobe Flash animated cartoon series created by John Kricfalusi and starring the animated character George Liquor. It was originally developed as a web-based cartoon by Microsoft's then-new MSN, in partnership with Spümcø studio. After failing to receive approval for publishing from Microsoft, all properties were released to Spümcø, and the web-based cartoon was spun out directly by the Spümcø studio. Michael Pataki reprised his role as Liquor from The Ren & Stimpy Show. Spümcø produced eight one-minute shorts.[5] The budget for each episode was $25,000.[6]

Premiering on October 15, 1997,[7][2][3] The Goddamn George Liquor Program was the first animated cartoon series to be produced exclusively for the internet.[8] George appeared on the series with his nephew, Jimmy The Idiot Boy; Jimmy's cousins, Slab and Ernie; Jimmy's love interest, Sody Pop; and George and Jimmy's pet dog, Dirty Dog. Without the control of a network, the series could be made as Kricfalusi wanted.[8][7] The Goddamn George Liquor Program won the 1999 Annie Award for "Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Interactive Production".[9] Later the show was being developed as a series of cartoon commercials for Pontiac Vibe.[10] The new series remained unreleased after General Motors discontinued the Pontiac Vibe auto line in 2009.[11][12]
