Follow me on Quidd my user name is Rebeltaxi bit.ly/2qaZDHH The final ep of Samurai Jack airs this sat. So I can finally make a Samurai Jack series review retrospect after this. Also Digimon since that's a patreon review request winner
RebelTaxi shitshitshit I should watch a marathon of SJ05 episodes starting with the 2nd one ans ending with the 2nd last one and then waking up at 5 am to wait for the SJ finale
The history of Making Fiends breaks my heart. That was absolutely one of my favorite shows as a kid, and to know that they basically stole the rights from the creator... devestating.
Not completely accurate. There were unmade scripts for the Nick series, but Amy Winfrey still has the rights to make new Making Fiends shorts. She occasionally brings out shorts on April fool’s day.😊
I remember getting up at 6 AM to watch Making Fiends with my siblings. Those were some great times. No idea why more people don't know about it, it feels like one of those shows that should've been really popular
I remember it on nicktoons, it was one of the shows my mom highly disapproved of but I still snuck and watched. Though it really seems like there were way more than just 6 episodes like he said
I was addicted to that show as a little kid, my weeb phase was inevitable from that point. Recently managed to find a couple of episodes and still enjoyed it a lot.
That ... accurately sums up how I remember Kappa Mikey as well actually, it felt like it wasn't real and then you see it and the nostalgia bus nails you
I used to watch a cartoon on the Disney Channel known as The Replacements, where two kids would have certain people in their lives replaced. I liked it at the time, but I don't remember how good it really was.
I remember it, and I actually liked it a lot. I just loved the concept! However, not many episodes were that good, except for a few which I don't remember very well.
I remember it, the show even ran through an art style change (unlike Jake Long, it was an improvement), the final episode even wraps everything up the series had built up.
Yo! I interned for the company that made kappa Mikey and Threes Delivery. They were called Animation Collective. I was a Flash cutter and my job was to work on putting the storyboards together in flash for the key animators. I really wanted to work on Kappa Mikey. But they told me the show was cancelled. So they put me in the *sigh* Speed racer the next Generation department. It was not a good show. The only good thing out of that series was the voice actors who were super nice. This was during 2008 when we had that recession and the studio was under money issues. Let's just say heavy ones. There is an article about it on Cartoon Brew. But I did get to see the production of Threes Delivery and I was able to work on one episode of Thumb Wrestling Federation that was on Cartoon Network. The company no longer exists but for being an animation studio in NYC it was an experience.
@@squirmlygoof It was an experience that's all I have to say. It was a tough time when I worked there because it was around 2008. So that's when the recession hit and they were hiring interns to do the grunt work. I didn't like Speed Racer the Next Generation but I did learn a more lot about Flash and implementing it with Maya and After Effects. I honestly wanted to work on Kappa Mikey. I loved that show. But it ended right when I arrived. I worked on just Flash Cutting which was basically setting up keyframes and putting the story boards together for the actual animators. I also did this for some others shows like Three's Delivery and some others that never saw the light of day.Most of the inbetweens were done by FatKat studios and I had to run all over Manhatten to Send files to either the post office or to places that required sound to be edited. The studio was not managing things money wise well. If you go on Cartoon Brew and look up FatKat Studios it talks about animation collective and its ups and downs but I noticed they took down an article. AC was sold. But yeah....It was an experience.
Ah so that's why Speed Racer looks kinda like Mikey. Speed Racer despite its long history as an anime wasn't as funny or charming as Kappa Mikey. But it had cute waifus.
I LOVED the X's. The writing seemed so fresh when I was 11. I distinctly remember an episode where the punk daughter wanted to have her first sleep over and of course while the three girls she could convince to come are watching movies in her room, the house (which was a crazy dope tactical base) was put into flight mode and shot into space. All the tv's in the house turn into navigation screens automatically. Their cover is blown. Until one of the girls says "this sci-fi movie's so cheesy! You can practically see the strings!" All is well.
I won the first Making Fiends contest online, back when I was 12 and it was just a Flash webtoon. I still have the original package I got in the mail from Amy Winfrey, with 4 signed art prints. I also have the 2 web series DVD’s. I remember first discovering her cartoons around the time Homestar Runner was popular in the early 2000’s. She had a series of shorts called Muffin Films, followed by Big Bunny. Then the first episode of Making Fiends came out. I remember waiting months for her to create new episodes. Hard to believe the online series lasted an entire 2 seasons. The art contest was a very proud moment in my childhood, I still look back on that fondly, as my life did not turn out well otherwise. Wonderful cartoons such as Making Fiends were the only things I can say I’m glad I can look back on.
For a while i thought i just had false memories of Brace Face, whenever I brought it up no one would have any idea what i was talking about. Glad to see i'm not the only one that remembers it
One of my professors at CSUN was Aglaia Mortcheva who was the voice of Vendetta. Her class was on Pre-Production for animation and she’s a lovely lady and spoke very fondly of Making Fiends which I casually fan-girled when she mentioned it. Just a fun anecdote for y’all.
Not related to Disney or anything but I know some obscure shows; like, _Ripley's Believe It or Not!_ had an animated series, then there's this Teletoon cartoon they call _W_ but there's no info of it save for the company who created that show, and several ones that are there on TV Tropes mentioned by name, like, ever heard of a TV series called _This One and That One_? Because for sure I haven't...
I'd say good riddance. I remember being ok with Brandy but ABSOLUTELY loathing Mr. Whiskers. His voice, his humor, his intentional annoyance. To the depths with that damn rabbit.
Damn, I remember that show. I also remember being seriously addicted to one of their flash games on the Disney Channel website. It was the one where you had to jump higher and higher like a proto-doodlejump.
4:34 So, it's intended to be like The Incredibles. It's designed like the ending credits and conceptual color charts to The Incredibles. And the line-less art style looks almost identical to Samurai Jack.
nuk3townusa yes! they were to only cartoons I watched when I was really young ( my parents didn't have cable till I was 6 or 7) and there are so many that I just vaugly remember
Strong agree, I would always watch the really odd shows on PBS on Saturday mornings, and even as a kid I could never really remember the names of the shows or anything, but it was all so strange and new each morning that I couldn't help but watch.
I don't know how you manage to get your hands onto a restored version of the Nickelodeon dinosaur bumper but just that alone made me ooh and aah in great joy.
jumping on the "anyone remember?" train, how about the secret show? i used to stay up until midnight to watch kappa mikey, the secret show, and edgar and ellen
I remember Tak and Making Fiends. Had no idea Tak was originally a game, and I always thought Making Fiends was the winner of a contest where they had viewers submit their cartoon ideas?
I knew about the Tak show through the games because I grew up playing them since I was 5 years old. Tak was my childhood platformer mascot of choice next to Pac-Man, Wario, Sonic, Mario. After the Tak games stopped being made, I moved to Crash Bandicoot. It's also interesting how you brought up the contest of kids submitting cartoon ideas. I remember seeing the commercials. There was a two page Nick Magazine ad that wanted kids to draw a character, write a short paragraph about the character, then tear the pages off and send it to Nickelodeon. I wanted to join the contest, but my mom wouldn't allow me to enter because she found my drawing and the handwriting of the characters' (I drew four characters on their provided panel) bio sloppy.
Obscure Disney cartoons: I remember: Yin Yang Yo!, Pucca, SRMTHFG, Get Ed Obscure non-Nick/non-CN/non-Disney cartoons I remember: Di-Gata Defenders, Tutenstein
Grossology, Growing Up Creepie, Kenny the Shark, Flight 29 Down, Trading Places, Time Warp Trio, and Tutenstein. Best line up for shows on Discovery Kids. Most of them were educational, entertaining, or both. Flight 29 Down and all but Trading Places were based on the Sciences. Grossology is Pathology, Growing up Creepie is Entemology, Kenny the Shark is Marine Biology, Flight 29 Down was Psychology to an extent, Time Warp Trio was Quantum Mechanics (Time Travel, duh) and History, and Tutenstein is Archaeology and History
wait, what about The Secret Show? or El Tigre? or Mr. Meaty's? There was also this CGI racing show that had floating islands and somehow atmosphere for the people to breathe? That aside, it kinda made me feel like a special noodle knowing most of this list, as I watched Nicktoons most often around the time those shows aired.
RappingBeanieDog The Racing shows were either Skyland, the French show with the super powered girl and her brother who was pilot, or Oban Star Racers, a racing show which aired on Jetix around the same time as Skyland.
If anybody's interested, the episode of The Journey of Allen Strange he's talking about is S1E6, "The Visit." It's up on RUclips now if you search for it, and the scary scene he's mentioning is about 17 and a half minutes in.
Oh god, you have to do Teacher's Pet. That show had such an interesting art style and no one remembers it. Also Yin Yang Yo, no one remembers that one either.
Chelle Doggo Yin Yang Yo was a show way too ahead of its time. It's one of the first cartoons for kids that had actual continuity and subplots that stretch out the entire season, a concept that many shows nowadays are popular for.
Making Fiends was my SHOW! I loved this show. I'm sad that it didn't go on for long. It was an interesting concept and it payed off. I would love for this show to be picked up again but it would have to be done right. Maybe bring Amy back on the show but she may not want to after what Nick did to her and Making Fiends
Fluffyninja90392's Random 3rd Channel I only saw it once on tv when I was little and I never saw it again. I spent so many years looking for it. I never forgot about it. I was looking for it.
You just took me on a Magical journey of nostalgia when you brought up the Xs. Edit: All of these shows are ones that I've watched as a kid and still remember. They may be forgotten, but they still live on in my mind. (Wistful flute plays as a stare longingly into the distance)
Obscure Disney Shows: Lloyd in Space, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, The Replacements, The Weekenders, Dave the Barbarian and Rollie Pollie Ollie. I know Rollie Pollie Ollie is technically Playhouse Disney but I really need reassurance that it was an actual show. And not a hallucination brought on by a fever dream.
Rollie Pollie Ollie was a very good show that I loved as a kid. I also liked Brandy & Mr. Whiskers and Dave The Barbarian. Sad part is, these aren't super obscure.
The Boogie Man was who you never though *could* be the Boogie Man. The man with a few thousand subscribers and a thing for goths is coming! Just you wait....
Tak was an action/adventure/platforming game that turned into a comedy show where Tak and his friends goof off around the village. Replace every Tak with Sonic and you have the plot of the Sonic Boom TV series.
Tavyn May I honestly thought the games were based off of the show, and that the show was a classic because for some reason I knew about it growing up and so did all my siblings
You're absolutely right but I find Sonic Boom's humor to be way more funny. Then again there's like a 10 year gap between when the shows aired so my sense of humor is most likely changed.
That show was really nice, had a nice mix of odd creatures, sort of kid friendly violence tossed in for some slapstick, it was basically what they want to make these days but the heads of the channel are too dumb to pick up.
I wish they didn't cancel Making Fiends after six eps. If Nick isn't going to air the rest of the episodes, then can they at least give Amy back her show? Not gonna lie, I found Glenn Martin DDS watchable, probably because of its absurdity. Likewise, the same occurs with Yakkity Yach. I do remember My Dad is Rockstar. I think they could have done it better but at least the kids are relatable.
Tokuijin During my edgy phase, Making Fiends was my shit. I wanted Charlotte dead and every episode hoped Vendetta would finally take her out. Glenn Martin was funny until I saw the son get his head shoved inside an elephants asshole. After that just the thought of the show made me sick.
Making Fiends and Kappa Mikey was my shit back in the day. i adored those shows, especially Making Fiends. i don't know why, but even as a kid, i loved the macabre sense of humour and the dark style the show had. i guess that may have partially influenced my own art style today. also i saw Tak and 3 Delievery a couple times, and they were ok i guess.
Mae Byrum I remember really enjoying Kappa Mikey as a kid, up until they got to the parts where they were filming the Lily-Mu show. And I remember 3 Delivery being pretty boring to me. (Also, nice Kim Pine picture, by the way. She was always my favorite character.)
When he got to Kappa Mikey, I just now noticed three of the Japanese designs were referencing Chi from Chobits, Kakashi and from the back, Edward Elric
Nicktoons has such a different vibe to it than Nick. It has the same vibe as waking up really early to watch the B saturday morning cartoons, cause you never know what coming on and what does come on most likely won't be as good as the prime time stuff but they still have a lot of charm.
I really liked the online videos when I was in middle school. I knew about the TV series only getting a few episodes and airing on Nicktoons, but I never saw them.
I see Kappa Mikey as instead of Fry getting frozen and going to the future, he goes to Japan and it’s full of anime characters. This is a take from someone who’s never seen it before
Allx360 here in the netherlands i remember watching it a lot. It had a catchy Theme song, it was pretty funny and the mom and dad had a nice relationship
>People are honestly shocked that Viacom is pure evil Dude this is the same company that has ruined the lives of a decades worth of animators and has left a permanent black spot on Nick as being one of the worst places to work baring maybe Disney. Chris Savino got his ass thrown out of Nick and blacklisted from the industry forever but LOL Viacom owns Loud House so now Chris gets to watch his creation get the Spongebob effect being left responsible in the hands of people he doesn't even know. Klasky Csupo isn't allowed to work on shit without Viacom sending them a cease and desist letter telling them we own your ass fucking comply with your assimilation. I swear its like Nick is more into the idea of killing the animation industry that having it evolve with the times.
14:05 oh Kappa Mikey, I really liked that show, i was even able to interview the voice of actor in latin-america, Omar Soto, sadly it seems he gave up in that career and now makes comic fan art.
Used to watch that at like 5 am everyday before school when I was a kid. I remember it coming on right after Power Rangers. My favorite part was always the pizza place that changed themes all the time.
RIGHT!? I still think about the bit to this day. specifically the one where the pizza place was all digital and computery and they jam the printer by adding too much cheese onto the pizza.
On the subject of Martin and France, there was Martin Morning where a kid would wake up every morning as something different. I remember it had an awful theme song!
Suspicious Scout Certainly. Perhaps it's where I grew up, but I wouldn't call it obscure, if that's what you thought. It ran for 6 months in the Danish Disney Afternoon. ~ TDG
6:04 holy s*** I cannot express the amount of time I've wasted try to find this cartoon. The last time I saw it was 5 years ago and I completely forgot about it until today. Thank you.
There are four fairly obscure shows from my childhood that I liked: The Secret World of Alex Mack; The Littl' Bits; Eureeka's Castle; and Phil of the Future. Of those four, Eureeka's Castle was by far my favorite. Wall-o-text ahead for brief synopses. The Secret World of Alex Mack was about a girl who got toxic waste spilled on her or something and got a superpower that let her turn her whole body into liquid and back again. From what I remember, she'd mostly use her power to sneak into places for the sake of shenanigans. I think it was on Nick, but I can't remember for sure. The Littl' Bits was an anime-style show about little people (like gnomes but not quite) living in a forest. I watched the show when I was 4 and only remembered a tiny bit about it, and I just found out the name of the show a couple years ago. Eureeka's Castle was one of my favorite shows when I was really little, and I liked it even more than Sesame Street. It was a Sesame Street-style show about a friendly witch named Eureeka who lived in a castle with her friends (including a bat guy and a dragon), and the castle itself was also a music box owned by a giant. I'm pretty sure it aired on Nick Jr, and I'm still really bummed that it's never been released on DVD. Only a few episodes are available online. Phil of the Future was a Disney Channel show about a kid from the future who gets stuck in our time (meaning like early 2000s), and shenanigans ensue. It's a pretty straightforward show, but I remember liking the few episodes of it I saw. One episode in particular revolved around Phil trying to learn how to write, because he comes from so far in the future that nobody writes anymore since their writing is all just typed. Also, not a tv show, but my favorite Disney Channel movie was Stepsister from Planet Weird, which was about a girl and her dad, who come from a planet of bubble people, coming to Earth and becoming part of a human family. I don't know if it counts as obscure, but I haven't seen anybody talk about it, so maybe it fits here.
I feel bad for the creator of "Making Fiends" just when you think your shows going to get more recognition the company you make a deal with dose not air it on their major channel, only makes six episodes, and refuses to give the rights back to you. :(
The concept of "My Dad the Rockstar" kinda pisses me off. What kind of whiney brat hates having a bunch of money and would rather live as a normal kid? Someone who doesn't understand how good they have it.
I mean, if my father was a Rock Star, then I would enjoy it, as that would be "Hey, my dad has helped influence a generation, and he makes some great pork roast"
He's like reverse Chris Thorndyke. Also, I don't see the problem with the kid. Some people just want to chill out and not deal with everyone else's bullshit.
if this was realistic, the father would die of an overdose on heroin, and his kid wouldve just been an illegitimate child of a groupie he was with on tour, but since he died he wouldnt be able to pay child support.
Oh man I used to love Allan Strange, mostly because I was 6 years old and obsessed with aliens when it came out. I remember exactly the episode you're thinking of and it freaked me out too- Allan was a much darker shade of blue and something about his face was really weird.
Elliott Mckenzie I remember watching it when I was younger, but it was hard to understand it, beacuse I wasn't that good of a reader at the time so it was hard to read the subtitles, and it was in one of the sapmi dialects, instead of Norwegian.
Ash Kitt according to my Google-fu, the show's named "100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd". It seems to be a spin-off of "The Secret Life of Alex Mack", as the main character of that show appears in the story. It was cancelled and never resolved.
I do remember Glenn Martin DDS, The X's, Making Fiends (I have the most fond memories of that show), Tak, Martin Mystery, Three Delivery (a lot of fond memories as well), Kappa Mikey (also a lot of fond memories), Yakkity Yak, and My Dad the Rockstar.
El Tigre has a following still and you get get the episodes online directly from the creator. (He uploaded them to google drive and posted a link on twitter.) Catscratch still has my favorite music.
I need a link to that Google Drive, El Tigre is a show I always loved as a kid and I still get a kick out of it today. Catscratch was pretty good. I remember that one episode where Mr. Blick or whatever the black one's name was got his fur dyed green and was called Mr. Pickles and something about Waffle having a laser light show... Thing. It was a strange cartoon but I thought it was decent
7 years, it took me 7 years to finally find the fucking name of the show Martin mystery that’s had pushed in to the deepest places of my mind only to come come in the early am’s where I’d failed to fall asleep. No longer do I have to ponder what this show was called. Thank you

Perfect video to watch before work. :)

Not completely accurate. There were unmade scripts for the Nick series, but Amy Winfrey still has the rights to make new Making Fiends shorts. She occasionally brings out shorts on April fool’s day.😊
I don't understand how Nickelodeon wanted Making Fiends as their show but then quickly cancel it in less than a year.
It makes me so fricken sad. I remember seeing ads for it and everything, but then...poof. It was gone in six episodes. ;A;
I remember seeing way more than 6 episodes, don't know why
There were at LEAST 10 episodes.
Kunio Dorbis I know that was my favorite show.
I watched that show religiously while it was still airing.
I remember getting up at 6 AM to watch Making Fiends with my siblings. Those were some great times. No idea why more people don't know about it, it feels like one of those shows that should've been really popular
Today it would be. Actually holy fuck it would do really well now, so lackadaisical and chill
I'm going to regret this name ur pic looks like oney but like messed up lookin
I really miss these days man. I deadass feel like crying when i think about how everything was so good and simple
I'm going to regret this name, if it aired on Cartoon Network now, itll blow up
I remember it on nicktoons, it was one of the shows my mom highly disapproved of but I still snuck and watched. Though it really seems like there were way more than just 6 episodes like he said
I always kinda liked Kappa Mikey. Always liked how the boss character had an assistant literally called yes-man...I was easily amused.
Half Moon Fox my dad downloaded that show on his computer for me and my sisters to watch and were not even weebs it was fucking awesome
My favorite will always be Gonard because of Sean Schemmel being his voice actor lol
Did you watch the pilot?
Exactly liked that show I can't believe it did not have season 2
I was addicted to that show as a little kid, my weeb phase was inevitable from that point. Recently managed to find a couple of episodes and still enjoyed it a lot.
I remember being hyped as fuck for Making Fiends when it came on Nick toons, never realized that there were only 6 episodes sadly.
Anyone remember The Replacements from Disney? I feel like i'm the only one who actually remembered or loved the show.
I LOVED the Replacements as a kid
Just Jett I only remember the theme song
I thought Kappa Mikey was a fever dream I had when I was sick from school for a decade.... I'm so glad it's real
KC Outcast
Same actually! I left the TV on and it came on in the middle of the night and I’d always wondered about it.
Same. Hot damn. So much shit from my childhood I forgot was real.
It was my first introduction to anime.I am so appreciative for kappa mikey and DBZ airing on nick.It got me interested in the medium
That ... accurately sums up how I remember Kappa Mikey as well actually, it felt like it wasn't real and then you see it and the nostalgia bus nails you
Anyone remember Yin Yang Yo or Pucca?
Rire Lee jetix and yeah
I think Pan should just review Jetix on Toon Disney as a whole, just like how he did Toonami.
Wasn't yin yang yo popular enough to at least End properly
Rire Lee I remember
yin yang yo sounds so freaking familiar
Anyone remember El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera?
I remember!!! But also that show had a reference in a Nicktoons video game call "Attack of the Toybots" which is shown in a master model chamber
Hell yea i do!
Yeah.
Train Fanboy2000 That’s not obscure... is it? As a kid I tuned into Nicktoons far more than Nickelodeon, so maybe to me all those shows were the shit
Yes
I used to watch a cartoon on the Disney Channel known as The Replacements, where two kids would have certain people in their lives replaced. I liked it at the time, but I don't remember how good it really was.

Making fiends was an absolute treasure
I remember trying to stay up as a kid just to watch it
It'll always hold a special place in my heart
I loved Making Fiends
It was so good and it's a shame it got the axe so soon
I loved making fiends to
Same, I only ever had 1 friend who knew what it was and we both adored it
I love it still
It's also a shame the creator can't do anything with her creation.

That's really awesome that you worked there. How was the experience & what year did you start working at Animation Collective?
@@squirmlygoof It was an experience that's all I have to say. It was a tough time when I worked there because it was around 2008. So that's when the recession hit and they were hiring interns to do the grunt work.

I LOVED the X's. The writing seemed so fresh when I was 11. I distinctly remember an episode where the punk daughter wanted to have her first sleep over and of course while the three girls she could convince to come are watching movies in her room, the house (which was a crazy dope tactical base) was put into flight mode and shot into space. All the tv's in the house turn into navigation screens automatically. Their cover is blown. Until one of the girls says "this sci-fi movie's so cheesy! You can practically see the strings!" All is well.
I like the way your channel acts like a TV show, with a commercial break in the middle.
Holy shit I forgot about Making Fiends. I remember that I actually liked it. Sucks about it getting so screwed.
Skull V I loved it and tried to find it on the internet but I forgot the name of it I loved it
Making Fiends reminds me of Invader Zim if Keef had stuck around forever.
And I thought I was the only one
I know right
I won the first Making Fiends contest online, back when I was 12 and it was just a Flash webtoon. I still have the original package I got in the mail from Amy Winfrey, with 4 signed art prints. I also have the 2 web series DVD’s. I remember first discovering her cartoons around the time Homestar Runner was popular in the early 2000’s. She had a series of shorts called Muffin Films, followed by Big Bunny.
Then the first episode of Making Fiends came out. I remember waiting months for her to create new episodes. Hard to believe the online series lasted an entire 2 seasons. The art contest was a very proud moment in my childhood, I still look back on that fondly, as my life did not turn out well otherwise. Wonderful cartoons such as Making Fiends were the only things I can say I’m glad I can look back on.
I wish I was talented enough to have entered those art contests. Y'all had some amazing drawings!!

Damn, this comment made me irrationally sad for some reason. I hope you're doing better nowadays, friend.

One of my professors at CSUN was Aglaia Mortcheva who was the voice of Vendetta. Her class was on Pre-Production for animation and she’s a lovely lady and spoke very fondly of Making Fiends which I casually fan-girled when she mentioned it. Just a fun anecdote for y’all.
That's so cool!
Sucks how nick released the show in a way for it to be forgotten
I really liked Martin Mystery ;_;
I think that show and Totally Spies was a lot more popular in the UK than elsewhere. Seemed to be aired quite a lot.
Ive personally never fucking heard of either, course I'm an American. anyway get back to reviewing games you hack!
@@scallysnix.2975 totally spies is currently running reruns in Universal Kids.
How did I find you here wha-
@@scallysnix.2975 Totally Spies aired a decent bit on Cartoon Network back in the day.
Sigz Isnt totally spies that pilot zone made a porno of? Hmm... oh! nope that was Modifiers.
Kappa Mikey was MY SHIT as a kid
I believe you mean it WAS s**t
I loved that show too when I was a kid! xD Only got 3 of the references back then lol
Dsy456 Best show ever, sadly there are no more DVDs in my language
yo same
Dsy456 kappa mikey was my favorite anime too!
"Oh, shit, it's Papaya from Earthbound!" is comedy gold.
Sinning And Winning your profile pic is the best XD
My fucking sides
Ah, snap! It’s Papaya from Earthbound!
Yakkity Yak looks like a Nick version of Camp Lazlo. Something about the artstyle and the anthro character.
CringeFire9 [HELP ME I CANT CHANGE MY PFP] Ikr?
I see Cameron
I’m glad to see Making Fiends get some acknowledgement. I was a huge fan of both the old flash cartoons and the Nick series. But no one remembers it!
Brandy And Mr Whiskers was a disney channel show that was lost to the sands of time
Not related to Disney or anything but I know some obscure shows; like, _Ripley's Believe It or Not!_ had an animated series, then there's this Teletoon cartoon they call _W_ but there's no info of it save for the company who created that show, and several ones that are there on TV Tropes mentioned by name, like, ever heard of a TV series called _This One and That One_? Because for sure I haven't...
In mexico is always from 5:30 AM to 6 on Disney... i hate it.
I'd say good riddance. I remember being ok with Brandy but ABSOLUTELY loathing Mr. Whiskers. His voice, his humor, his intentional annoyance. To the depths with that damn rabbit.
Damn, I remember that show. I also remember being seriously addicted to one of their flash games on the Disney Channel website. It was the one where you had to jump higher and higher like a proto-doodlejump.
Pan making a Brandy & Mr. Whiskers video would be neat
12:36 The Martin Mystery crossover actually was broadcasted in America but on Nicktoons Network.
Does anyone remember Kid vs Kat, about an evil alien cat?
King Tutle Me
I remember that.
Yeah, it was a Disney XD original.
Yeah, it was cool at the time but i hate it now.
King Tutle me
4:34 So, it's intended to be like The Incredibles. It's designed like the ending credits and conceptual color charts to The Incredibles. And the line-less art style looks almost identical to Samurai Jack.
The artstyle is inspired in cartoon moden, and 20 century modern architecture. It's the same influence the incredibles and Genndy Tartakovsky have :)
damn this was a throwback
SENPAI
Cyranek Hey you're the guy who comments on the Pyrocinical videos
PREAAAACH 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I faintly remember Making Fiends from sometime in the 2010s and I have no idea why
i think they re-aired the show a bunch, all the up to about 2016 i believe.
It's a shame this show never got past its 6 episodes. It could've been great!
@@linguisticspaceship
Yes.
@@ECL28E Netflix should revive it
@@jturner2577 AGREED

“Vendetta cannot stand her, so she plots her end”
You gotta cover PBS shows. There's so many it kinda strange to not see you cover any.
nuk3townusa yes! they were to only cartoons I watched when I was really young ( my parents didn't have cable till I was 6 or 7) and there are so many that I just vaugly remember
Strong agree, I would always watch the really odd shows on PBS on Saturday mornings, and even as a kid I could never really remember the names of the shows or anything, but it was all so strange and new each morning that I couldn't help but watch.
PBS Kids Go! ?
It's surprising how many of these cartoons I actually recall seeing as a kid. Does anyone else remember The Secret Show?
Cure Hana The opening to that show was hilarious
Cure Hana That show was literally my crack back then.
Cure Hana I do, I had a Zak action figure when I was younger.
Yesss
I liked the running joke about the guy who always got the most ridiculous names.
I don't know how you manage to get your hands onto a restored version of the Nickelodeon dinosaur bumper but just that alone made me ooh and aah in great joy.
jumping on the "anyone remember?" train, how about the secret show? i used to stay up until midnight to watch kappa mikey, the secret show, and edgar and ellen
I remember that. There's a lot more obscure shows that weren't mentioned. Probably my favorite here was either Martin Mystery or Kappa Mikey.
finnyinspace I HAS EDGAR AND ELLEN ON DVD!! I got it at Kmart when I was like 8 it had like 6 episodes on it thanks for the nostalgia!
Pretty much any of the stuff that was sent to Nicktoons i remember.
I remember Tak and Making Fiends. Had no idea Tak was originally a game, and I always thought Making Fiends was the winner of a contest where they had viewers submit their cartoon ideas?
KC Jones? Ib
Making fiends started as a web toon series and yes they had contests where kids could submit their fiend drawings
KC Jones? Me and my sister use to watch making fiends all the time when we were little and i have a couple of memories watching Tak
I knew about the Tak show through the games because I grew up playing them since I was 5 years old. Tak was my childhood platformer mascot of choice next to Pac-Man, Wario, Sonic, Mario. After the Tak games stopped being made, I moved to Crash Bandicoot.
It's also interesting how you brought up the contest of kids submitting cartoon ideas. I remember seeing the commercials. There was a two page Nick Magazine ad that wanted kids to draw a character, write a short paragraph about the character, then tear the pages off and send it to Nickelodeon. I wanted to join the contest, but my mom wouldn't allow me to enter because she found my drawing and the handwriting of the characters' (I drew four characters on their provided panel) bio sloppy.
OH SNAP ITS PAPAYA FROM EARTHBOUND
I love how despite that reference being extremely screwed up we still understand it
lol
Poking fun at the blind fans saying that every "funny" and "wacky" skeleton is Papyrus.
Is that the brother of Papyrus!
I dont get it. Can someone help me?
All Locked Up Yo You can't grasp the true form of Papaya's attack!
"it's enough to put someone to sleep which is the scariest thing you can say about anything made by bill cosby."
well damn
Making Fiends was something very deep in the recesses of my mind that I wasn't ready to be violently ripped from my memory.
Obscure Disney cartoons: I remember: Yin Yang Yo!, Pucca, SRMTHFG, Get Ed
Obscure non-Nick/non-CN/non-Disney cartoons I remember: Di-Gata Defenders, Tutenstein
Pucca was honestly my favorite thing back in the day
Crash Bombah HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER TUTENSTIEN
Also Growing Up Creepie and Grossology
I'm surprised no one batted an eye about Di-Gata Defenders. That's dissappointing.
Grossology, Growing Up Creepie, Kenny the Shark, Flight 29 Down, Trading Places, Time Warp Trio, and Tutenstein. Best line up for shows on Discovery Kids. Most of them were educational, entertaining, or both. Flight 29 Down and all but Trading Places were based on the Sciences. Grossology is Pathology, Growing up Creepie is Entemology, Kenny the Shark is Marine Biology, Flight 29 Down was Psychology to an extent, Time Warp Trio was Quantum Mechanics (Time Travel, duh) and History, and Tutenstein is Archaeology and History
Making Fiends was one of those shows I remember but didn't know the name of
Kappa Mikey looks like an unused Parappa character.
You mean :kappa: Mikey
Uncle Squid's Broken Cassette ikr
THE DBZKING ™ I should watch it.
Toast the buns, French the fries!
Uncle Squiddz "Parappa Mikey"
Ain't NEVER forgettin' my boy Kappa Mikey! Fun Fact: The big dude wit the blue hair was voiced by Goku
wait, what about The Secret Show? or El Tigre? or Mr. Meaty's? There was also this CGI racing show that had floating islands and somehow atmosphere for the people to breathe? That aside, it kinda made me feel like a special noodle knowing most of this list, as I watched Nicktoons most often around the time those shows aired.
RappingBeanieDog The Racing shows were either Skyland, the French show with the super powered girl and her brother who was pilot, or Oban Star Racers, a racing show which aired on Jetix around the same time as Skyland.
I remember Skyland...I think
Mr Meaty's gave me nightmares as a kid
El Tigre was lots of fun for me as a kid. Mr.Meaty looks like nightmare fuel, but I never watched it.
RappingBeanieDog i would say barnyard but was a meme at one point and nice parappa pic
Anyone remember Philmoore? It's a Disney show that's a cop drama but with school safety patrol.
Best. '70s cop show. Ever.
Sounds familiar...
I remember. That show always baffled me.
Oh yea, it was so silly but I loved it, the main characters rly carried the show.
Filmore was great
Oh my gosh i remember making fiends when i was younger this was my favorites to watch after cn
If anybody's interested, the episode of The Journey of Allen Strange he's talking about is S1E6, "The Visit." It's up on RUclips now if you search for it, and the scary scene he's mentioning is about 17 and a half minutes in.
Sweet! Thanks for the update
Oh god, you have to do Teacher's Pet. That show had such an interesting art style and no one remembers it.
Also Yin Yang Yo, no one remembers that one either.
Chelle Doggo I usually remember yin yang yo at random times for some odd reason
I enjoyed Teacher's Pet. Wasn't it a movie first? And if I remember right, the dog was voiced by the amazing Nathan Lane.
Chelle Doggo
Yin Yang Yo was a show way too ahead of its time. It's one of the first cartoons for kids that had actual continuity and subplots that stretch out the entire season, a concept that many shows nowadays are popular for.
Teacher's pet was boring in my opinion but damn that art style I really loved it
Teacher's Pet's style reminds me of those Cranium games that'd be stuffed by the board games in stores.
Making Fiends was my SHOW! I loved this show. I'm sad that it didn't go on for long. It was an interesting concept and it payed off. I would love for this show to be picked up again but it would have to be done right. Maybe bring Amy back on the show but she may not want to after what Nick did to her and Making Fiends
Michael Reyes Same! I loved Making Fiends!!!
Michael Reyes YES
same! i think i saw 2 or 3 episodes on TV then i saw the rest on online.
Michael Reyes yeah that was such a fun show. Very great and funny to see the bad guy so to speak to be the main character
Michael Reyes mabey have it picked back up from someone other than nickolodean
*sees thumbnail*
*MAKING FIENDS WAS MY SHIT BACK THEN*
Fluffyninja90392's Random 3rd Channel I only saw it once on tv when I was little and I never saw it again. I spent so many years looking for it. I never forgot about it. I was looking for it.
Making Fiends is usually played on Nick Toons in october, like other shows like invader zim.
Fluffyninja90392's Random 3rd Channel related, the theme song reminded me of Ashley's theme and then Ashley's theme played afterwards
making memes
Man, I remember that show. That was also my shit along with Invader Zim.
You just took me on a Magical journey of nostalgia when you brought up the Xs.
Edit: All of these shows are ones that I've watched as a kid and still remember. They may be forgotten, but they still live on in my mind. (Wistful flute plays as a stare longingly into the distance)
Obscure Disney Shows: Lloyd in Space, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, The Replacements, The Weekenders, Dave the Barbarian and Rollie Pollie Ollie. I know Rollie Pollie Ollie is technically Playhouse Disney but I really need reassurance that it was an actual show. And not a hallucination brought on by a fever dream.
No, I used to watch Rollie Pollie Ollie as a child. It had like a retrofuture thing going on.
Rollie Pollie Ollie was a very good show that I loved as a kid. I also liked Brandy & Mr. Whiskers and Dave The Barbarian. Sad part is, these aren't super obscure.
Mickie's Stuff I have a Rollie DVD and vhs
Rolie Polie Olie was a pretty big preschool show when it was on. I wouldn't call it obscure at all.
You call that obscure Ha!
"He takes naughty children and seals them into boogie world for all eternity." That sounds like you, Pan!
So that old Disney Channel Original Movie, "Don't Look Under The Bed", was spot on about the real legend of the Boogie Man, who knew?
The Boogie Man was who you never though *could* be the Boogie Man. The man with a few thousand subscribers and a thing for goths is coming! Just you wait....
My mind has been overblown with nostalgia. Nicktoons Network had some fantastic shows on there.
Anyone remember Mighty B?
Only when she ate snot like Spagetti to get Chicken Pox. Scarred me.
Oh and the annoying theme
I remember it I like it
One of my favorites on nick
Rockinoshamas 4678 ya
Tak was an action/adventure/platforming game that turned into a comedy show where Tak and his friends goof off around the village.
Replace every Tak with Sonic and you have the plot of the Sonic Boom TV series.
Tavyn May Holy shit...
Im not wrong tho.
Tavyn May I honestly thought the games were based off of the show, and that the show was a classic because for some reason I knew about it growing up and so did all my siblings
You're absolutely right but I find Sonic Boom's humor to be way more funny. Then again there's like a 10 year gap between when the shows aired so my sense of humor is most likely changed.
Thank you!
Thanks a ton Rebel..for putting the Making Fiends theme song back into my head. *scowls*
Cynthia Pot
ugh I hated that show.
The quote at 2:00 "I don't wish death upon her, I hope she lives and suffers." is so good I hope you know I use it regularly.
I actually liked Making Fiends.
Birb Birb Birdly Birb same
everyone did. that's why its so sad that is was cancelled.
Yup
They show was my show. 😍
That show was really nice, had a nice mix of odd creatures, sort of kid friendly violence tossed in for some slapstick, it was basically what they want to make these days but the heads of the channel are too dumb to pick up.
Does anyone remember the Mighty B? It had a John K art style? About a scout girl who sells Taffy?
MaxTheGreat14 i do
Yeah. Come around 2008. Mostly remembered as the cartoon show with Amy Poehler.
One of my favorites. I would watch it on Netflix every day when it was on Netflix.
MaxTheGreat14 yep
MaxTheGreat14 I’ve gotten interested in that show over the last couple of months. The dog, Happy, reminds me of Porkchop from Doug.
I wish they didn't cancel Making Fiends after six eps. If Nick isn't going to air the rest of the episodes, then can they at least give Amy back her show?
Not gonna lie, I found Glenn Martin DDS watchable, probably because of its absurdity. Likewise, the same occurs with Yakkity Yach.
I do remember My Dad is Rockstar. I think they could have done it better but at least the kids are relatable.
Fun fact about Glenn Martian, it was created by Micheal Eisner, yes former Disney CEO Micheal Eisner.
Brandon Lyon wtf
Tokuijin I honestly despised Glenn Martin, even with a sadistic and slapstick sense of humor.
Tokuijin I remember that show.
Tokuijin During my edgy phase, Making Fiends was my shit. I wanted Charlotte dead and every episode hoped Vendetta would finally take her out.
Glenn Martin was funny until I saw the son get his head shoved inside an elephants asshole. After that just the thought of the show made me sick.
"It's enough to put someone to sleep, which is the scariest thing to say about anything made by Bill Cosby."
(Sharp inhale)...Boy.
Kappa Mickey was fucking hilarious.
1:53 - 2:03 I love that bit so much, I just can't find the words to describe it.
*Insert Original Username Here* hahaha me too😂😂😂😂
dry british humor lol
Making Fiends and Kappa Mikey was my shit back in the day. i adored those shows, especially Making Fiends. i don't know why, but even as a kid, i loved the macabre sense of humour and the dark style the show had. i guess that may have partially influenced my own art style today.
also i saw Tak and 3 Delievery a couple times, and they were ok i guess.
Mae Byrum I remember really enjoying Kappa Mikey as a kid, up until they got to the parts where they were filming the Lily-Mu show. And I remember 3 Delivery being pretty boring to me.
(Also, nice Kim Pine picture, by the way. She was always my favorite character.)
Making Fiends was cool
I remember when Tak debuted though I never watched it and never knew it was based off of a video game
Mae Byrum SAME!!!! EXACT SAME!!!
Y4123 yea it was cool
When he got to Kappa Mikey, I just now noticed three of the Japanese designs were referencing Chi from Chobits, Kakashi and from the back, Edward Elric
Martin Mystery was pretty huge in Brasil.
Kappa too.
Yakkity also was great here.
Also My dad the rockstar.
Oh yeah. I first heard about My Dad The Rockstar from Mysterious Mr. Enter. Thx for helping me recognize that show again!
God damn this was such a Nostalgia rush. Especially cuz i preferred Nicktoons over Nickelodeon, odd statement, I know.
Same
Utsuragi it's not odd I never watched nicktoons when I was young I just binge watched tak and making fiends
Utsuragi Not odd at all, I always found myself spending more time watching Nicktoons rather than regular Nickelodeon.
Utsuragi Yeah nicktoons was the best especially in the late 2000s when nickelodeon didnt have that many good cartoons
Nicktoons has such a different vibe to it than Nick.
It has the same vibe as waking up really early to watch the B saturday morning cartoons, cause you never know what coming on and what does come on most likely won't be as good as the prime time stuff but they still have a lot of charm.
I actually remember making feinds as a kid
Same. I watched it on the nicktoons network. I always thought nicktoons was better than nickelodeon
I really liked the online videos when I was in middle school. I knew about the TV series only getting a few episodes and airing on Nicktoons, but I never saw them.
Classy Star Same I love that show I would wake up early on weekends just to watch it
I will never forget making fiends
I see Kappa Mikey as instead of Fry getting frozen and going to the future, he goes to Japan and it’s full of anime characters.
This is a take from someone who’s never seen it before
I guess an obscure disney show was the replacements, it kind of came and went and was sentenced to Disney's Saturday morning block.
Allx360 i remember that, mostly because i think the main character was dicked on
Allx360 here in the netherlands i remember watching it a lot. It had a catchy Theme song, it was pretty funny and the mom and dad had a nice relationship
>People are honestly shocked that Viacom is pure evil
Dude this is the same company that has ruined the lives of a decades worth of animators and has left a permanent black spot on Nick as being one of the worst places to work baring maybe Disney. Chris Savino got his ass thrown out of Nick and blacklisted from the industry forever but LOL Viacom owns Loud House so now Chris gets to watch his creation get the Spongebob effect being left responsible in the hands of people he doesn't even know.
Klasky Csupo isn't allowed to work on shit without Viacom sending them a cease and desist letter telling them we own your ass fucking comply with your assimilation.
I swear its like Nick is more into the idea of killing the animation industry that having it evolve with the times.
KnightofFunnyJunk To be fair, Chris was being a creep to his female coworkers. He had it coming.
Chris Savino is a creep, don't you dare defend him
Viacom tried to destroy RUclips at it's early days
@@delksbwg3777 alongside music labels
14:05 oh Kappa Mikey, I really liked that show, i was even able to interview the voice of actor in latin-america, Omar Soto, sadly it seems he gave up in that career and now makes comic fan art.
Awesome theme song too
I remember seeing making fiends airing on nicktoons recently sometime in early to mid 2018, I don’t know why or how, but it did
It stopped airing in 2016,so how do you remember that?
Bro, you just gotta put "The Weekenders" on your disney list because im almost certain im the only one who remembers that shows existance
Used to watch that at like 5 am everyday before school when I was a kid. I remember it coming on right after Power Rangers. My favorite part was always the pizza place that changed themes all the time.
RIGHT!? I still think about the bit to this day. specifically the one where the pizza place was all digital and computery and they jam the printer by adding too much cheese onto the pizza.
Living for the weekend, Oh i'm living for the weekend. Ye-eah!
I remember that show actually being pretty damn fantastic.
Tino's mom's advice defined my childhood.
Am I the only one who remembered Edgar and Ellen??
Wander no. no you are not. ;u;
I remember that show, I used to watch it all the time.
I remember it!
It's on Netflix, or was.
Wander I remembered it too. I kind of liked it
actually Martin mystery was 33% Nickelodeon 33% cartoon Network 33% Disney channel 1% bullshit it aired on all 3
sometimes on all 3 at the same time
On the subject of Martin and France, there was Martin Morning where a kid would wake up every morning as something different. I remember it had an awful theme song!
It didn't air in any of those in my country. Instead they aired it on non-cable TV channels like Globo early in the morning.
Damn I actually liked Martin Morning's the song...!
3:15
Whaa? It's just an ordinary tv sho- OOOH MYY GOODNESSSs..
*SQUIDWARRRRD!!!*
This one needs more likes.
Anyone else remember Brandy and Mr Whiskers on Disney Channel?
My God
I remember that
It wasn't my favorite but if there was nothing else on, I watched it
I remember DVRing episodes since it aired at like 4AM.
Suspicious Scout Certainly. Perhaps it's where I grew up, but I wouldn't call it obscure, if that's what you thought. It ran for 6 months in the Danish Disney Afternoon.
~ TDG
I regularly forget that show exists only to randomly remember it a few months later.
Suspicious Scout I liked it
Amy Winfrey is a legend and a genius. Making Fiends is top dog on this list and will never be forgotten ;)
6:04 holy s*** I cannot express the amount of time I've wasted try to find this cartoon. The last time I saw it was 5 years ago and I completely forgot about it until today. Thank you.
Bro making fiends was my childhood. You know recently I wasn’t even sure if it was really until I found a bunch of episodes on RUclips.
There are four fairly obscure shows from my childhood that I liked: The Secret World of Alex Mack; The Littl' Bits; Eureeka's Castle; and Phil of the Future. Of those four, Eureeka's Castle was by far my favorite. Wall-o-text ahead for brief synopses.
The Secret World of Alex Mack was about a girl who got toxic waste spilled on her or something and got a superpower that let her turn her whole body into liquid and back again. From what I remember, she'd mostly use her power to sneak into places for the sake of shenanigans. I think it was on Nick, but I can't remember for sure.
The Littl' Bits was an anime-style show about little people (like gnomes but not quite) living in a forest. I watched the show when I was 4 and only remembered a tiny bit about it, and I just found out the name of the show a couple years ago.
Eureeka's Castle was one of my favorite shows when I was really little, and I liked it even more than Sesame Street. It was a Sesame Street-style show about a friendly witch named Eureeka who lived in a castle with her friends (including a bat guy and a dragon), and the castle itself was also a music box owned by a giant. I'm pretty sure it aired on Nick Jr, and I'm still really bummed that it's never been released on DVD. Only a few episodes are available online.
Phil of the Future was a Disney Channel show about a kid from the future who gets stuck in our time (meaning like early 2000s), and shenanigans ensue. It's a pretty straightforward show, but I remember liking the few episodes of it I saw. One episode in particular revolved around Phil trying to learn how to write, because he comes from so far in the future that nobody writes anymore since their writing is all just typed.
Also, not a tv show, but my favorite Disney Channel movie was Stepsister from Planet Weird, which was about a girl and her dad, who come from a planet of bubble people, coming to Earth and becoming part of a human family. I don't know if it counts as obscure, but I haven't seen anybody talk about it, so maybe it fits here.
i remember phil of the future. i never really watched it, but the theme song will be in my head forever
Thank you so much I was looking for the name of the show Alex Mack. I had only known the plot.
There was also another show like the secret world of Alex Mack. It was a black kid that had like alien powers or something
I feel bad for the creator of "Making Fiends" just when you think your shows going to get more recognition the company you make a deal with dose not air it on their major channel, only makes six episodes, and refuses to give the rights back to you. :(
The Invisible Mare ikr
The concept of "My Dad the Rockstar" kinda pisses me off.
What kind of whiney brat hates having a bunch of money and would rather live as a normal kid? Someone who doesn't understand how good they have it.
Christina Hunt because constantly getting attention for something your parent does is a burden.
I mean, if my father was a Rock Star, then I would enjoy it, as that would be "Hey, my dad has helped influence a generation, and he makes some great pork roast"
Yeah, he even lied about his last name to fit in & the school believed him.
He's like reverse Chris Thorndyke. Also, I don't see the problem with the kid. Some people just want to chill out and not deal with everyone else's bullshit.
if this was realistic, the father would die of an overdose on heroin, and his kid wouldve just been an illegitimate child of a groupie he was with on tour, but since he died he wouldnt be able to pay child support.
Oh man I used to love Allan Strange, mostly because I was 6 years old and obsessed with aliens when it came out. I remember exactly the episode you're thinking of and it freaked me out too- Allan was a much darker shade of blue and something about his face was really weird.
Corneil and bernie was called Watch My Chops over in the Uk, I member..
DEAN!!
That show was my life
Elliott Mckenzie I remember watching it when I was younger, but it was hard to understand it, beacuse I wasn't that good of a reader at the time so it was hard to read the subtitles, and it was in one of the sapmi dialects, instead
of Norwegian.
Elliott Mckenzie
I never saw it air live, I saw it on demand under that name which explains a lot o.O
anyone remember ChalkZone and Robot and Monster?
Ash Kitt uhhhh cock zone?
Ash Kitt according to my Google-fu, the show's named "100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd". It seems to be a spin-off of "The Secret Life of Alex Mack", as the main character of that show appears in the story. It was cancelled and never resolved.
Robot and Monster was great
yep
Chalkzone = Good
Robot and Monster = Boring
Used to watch making fiends online. Never knew it had a failed tv run.
I do remember Glenn Martin DDS, The X's, Making Fiends (I have the most fond memories of that show), Tak, Martin Mystery, Three Delivery (a lot of fond memories as well), Kappa Mikey (also a lot of fond memories), Yakkity Yak, and My Dad the Rockstar.
Martin Mystery and Best Fiends were some of my favorite shows as a kid. Take me back! I remember a lot of these from late night Nicktoons.
Hell yeah! Martin Mystery was awesome, and Totally Spies was good too. Was so stoked when the crossover happened!
I really loved Martin Mystery and was sad that it got cancelled.
Bruh how was El Tigre or Catscratch not on here
El Tigre is definitely memorable, but yeah, expected Catscratch too.
MewStashe Not that obscure in Pan's opinion I think.
if you can remeber it, its not obscure
El Tigre has a following still and you get get the episodes online directly from the creator. (He uploaded them to google drive and posted a link on twitter.)
Catscratch still has my favorite music.
I need a link to that Google Drive, El Tigre is a show I always loved as a kid and I still get a kick out of it today.
Catscratch was pretty good. I remember that one episode where Mr. Blick or whatever the black one's name was got his fur dyed green and was called Mr. Pickles and something about Waffle having a laser light show... Thing. It was a strange cartoon but I thought it was decent
“Papaya from Earthbound” activated my fight or flight response
7 years, it took me 7 years to finally find the fucking name of the show Martin mystery that’s had pushed in to the deepest places of my mind only to come come in the early am’s where I’d failed to fall asleep. No longer do I have to ponder what this show was called. Thank you
I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who wants the X’s and Making Fiends back
Edit 4 years later: yea, u are.
146 Bfdi2004
The X's probably, but you'd be surprised how many people want Making Fiends back.
I do too mister Bdfo2004 the 138393030303301th
Animation ShapeShifter I want making fiends back too.
I had the Making Fiends DVD. ^^
Making Fiends its not an iconic nor that of an interesting show to bring it back imo
