Johnny Bravo is a classic Cartoon Cartoon, but for some reason, Cartoon Network wants to pretend like it doesn't exist. But does Johnny deserve that? Let's look at his entire history and discuss everything about Cartoon Network's dirty secret, Johnny Bravo.

I think the creator actually went "Naw he has been successful with women multiple times, it just happens off screen cause that isn't funny.".
there is an episode where they try to sacrifice him a as a virgin and the sacrifice is denied because hes not a virgin. so he clearly gets laid sometimes
That is entirely correct lol
i want him to be pathetic though 😭
Interesting! Sounds like he's never had a canon girlfriend then, since canon is only what happens in the text/on the screen. Which means his statement about him being 'successful' is about as valid as any fanfiction somebody writes where he never gets a woman.
Agreed, that amazon women episode implies as much, considering the volcano that expects a VIRGIN sacrifice doesn't want him.
I met Jeff Bennett at a Comic Con and told him about how my abusive parents used to get so mad at us kids when we’d watch Johnny Bravo. He proceeded to mock my parents in Johnnys voice and it made my day 😂
Really?! What did he said?
Why you going outside telling strangers you had abusive parents
@@srFdeassisdoesn't matter, didn't happen
Awww~☺
if you had parents that let you watch tv with friends, especially a show they didn't like, you didn't have abusive parents
I still quote "I can't be seen without my glasses" regularly.
Such a good line
Same here. I uttered it quite loudly when someone knocked them off in a disco. I did have a backup, which was nice.
It was still a bad idea for him to go after Velma. At that point Velma was considered Freddy's girl just as much as Daphne...although Daphne was also implied to have been Shaggy's gal too since she's the only one of the serious trio who actually likes Scrappy.
@@Superlad9494wait wasn’t it that he was going for Daphne while ignoring that Velma wanted him?
@@Tony2-Dirty Fred admits he likes both of them in Monsters Unleashed, sure he likes Daphne, but he's not totally oblivious to Velma...also during the Scrappy Era and Alien Invaders they were really upping Frelma as a potential pairing as the 4 most popular Scooby-Ships are Frephne, Shaphne, Shelma and Frelma.
I love how the show is basically commentary on how *NOT* to treat women and how its portrayed in a way where kids can enjoyed the slapstick and the adults can enjoy the humor and dialogue. The lack of acknowledgment of the series does a disservice to Van, the fans, and the channel's history. It's a shame.
They gotta give the show more love!
💯
Yeah 😅 the humour from what i understand has aged well, people have just gotten more sensitive 😂
Big huge disservice to homies like me. I only ended up building a big chuck of Toronto :(
I don't think ANYBODY thought Johnny knew how to talk to women, it's why every time he spoke to one, she ended up punching him. Every, single, time.
I need the entire DBZ series with Johnny Bravo DVD commentary
I'd buy that (If it contains the Falconer Score.).
I'd buy that
Heck yeah.
JBVO!
Why isn't that a thing?
“Now this guy here, I think his name is Freezer or somethin’ like that.”
"Nobody needs the $1.03 Store since the $1.02 Store opened up down the street." is still one of my favorite jokes from this show, and I quote it every time the gas stations get into a price war
"Price check on the No More Frizzies!" "Hold on I'll check: $1.03!"
Llab naw fr
They made that joke 20 years before the dollar store raised it's prices. Prophetic.
CN might not want to remember Johnny Bravo, but we sure will.
They might try to forget, but WE WONT LET THEM.
It's kinda a double edged sword thing. While it sucks Cartoon Network barely acknowledges Johnny Bravo, it's nice that his IP hasn't been ran into the ground with excessive and/or horrendous reboots nobody liked like The Powerpuff Girls 2016 or HBO Max's Velma.
Ya know what? You put that into a fine perspective. Better to be forgotten than ruined.
Yeah, I concur. Would be nice to see acknowledgement, but perhaps it's for the best.
I just want a full DVD release. Do that THEN forget about it CN!
@@JohnnyBurnes Even better if by the time CN/WB finally releases it includes the House of Blues Pilot and any of the JBVO episodes that can be located and/or salvaged.
i had noticed that for whatever reason HBO MAX doesnt have johnny bravo or dexters lab which is rather obnoxious
"YOU FIEND! You know Mama is allergic to pimento!"
"That's pinenuts, dear."
"LIES, ALL LIES!"
The fact that the network won't acknowledge that it existed is dumb af. Johnny's implied views and opinions are outdated and misogynistic, but the show itself goes out of it's way to reprimand and punish him for it! Just goes to show that media literacy is truly dead.
If that's the reason, I call bullshit. They use Pepe Le Pew in Boomerang's LT promotions and folded his cartoons back into their for kids Looney Tunes block. The difference between Pepe and Johnny is that Johnny gets comeuppance when he tries to hit on women. Why that is considered the no-no only comes off hypocritical. Maybe if we whine endlessly about it. You know like the 50-somethings that watched LT when they were kids and NEVER again. The ones who heard about his scene getting cut from Space Jam 2 through the media's insufferable game of telephone that lost all the details. Maybe if we're that insufferable, we'll have nothing BUT Johnny Bravo cartoons on the network.
@@mightyfilmit’s how it went to being the Teen Titans Go Network for a while
@@untunedguitar45 No. It was because the show was cheap to produce, and EVERY cable channel devolved into being one or two shows run over and over. Now it's the Gumball rerun network because they don't have to pay for anything new. And I'm not counting the clipshow season.
It's like he just faded in obscurity.😂
Johnny bravo will soon return just
Hope not CG.
Johnny Bravo is a forgotten cult classic. Most of the time it was this and Dexter’s Lab reruns on Boomerang. Really takes me back.
I think they don't want to acknowledge Johnny because of all the adult jokes. Probably thinking a Dan Schneider situation may happen but the jokes aren't creepy. The jokes are funny.
But they're fine with acknowledging Cow & Chicken? Not saying your reasoning is wrong, but that really feels like a double standard if true.
I think it has less to do with the adult jokes, and more to do with Johnny's endless pursuit of women being viewed as objectification. Funny thing being, the whole point of the show is that he is consistently punished for that behavior, and the women themselves are usually the ones doing the punishing. If anything, the show was a bit ahead of its time in that regard, as the women in it are empowered and can take care of horndogs like Johnny by themselves easily.
@@esperfire3779 if you are referring to "the carpet munchers" or whatever the lesbo biker gang was then they have tried their damnedest to erase that. But I also don't remember a lot of jokes from Cow&Chicken so you probably know more than me about that.
@@esperfire3779 And to add to the double standard or perhaps just irony, most of the women I've met are extremely into guys like Johnny, the hyper confident and cocky, somewhat stuck up and ignorant, clueless jocky guys who treat them like trash and property, we be living in some truly silly times :D
But they still proudly acknowledge Total Drama Island and 6teen, both of which worse than Johnny Bravo in terms of adult humour
@@hotel_arcadia why did you have to remind me about those
Johnny Bravo deserve way more appreciation. He's a True Chad.
Fax
Barry Williams is the original johnny
Bravo.
He's the guy who played Greg on
The brady bunch.
He was the face of CN we deserved.
I think you mean he is the ORIGINAL CHAD! 😂😂😂
To think that even back in 1999, these studios were willing to throw away whole skeleton crews even when they wanted to keep a show going. Today we would never let them hear the end of it.
Glad Tingblad carried the mantle as best he could though.
Still better than what Nick would have done.
Nah, they're still completely willing to do that today too. Most of the time we don't realize what has happened until after.
I don't think skeleton crew means what you think it means. Haha.
I agree with your sentiment, though.
4:21 Johnny seeing Swimsuit Velma: _"Woah Momma"_
When it's reboot velma: "I'm sickened, but curious"
@@BBWahoo I think it's more likely he'd scream and run if it was that version.
@@BBWahooJohnny: Uhhh let me see some ID?
New Velma: (bad laugh) What! I'm clearly a Junior in college sexy blonde Elvis.
Johnny: Yeah I ain't falling for that again.
I'm 54, so was in my 30's during this show's run...and normally I wouldn't know anything about this show... However, in the early 2000's, while on a trip through Asia, I got a horrible case of food poisoning and was stuck in my hotel room bed for like 5 days. 🤢. There were 2 channels on TV in English BBC News and Cartoon Network. Got to see loads of shows like Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, Power Puff Girls, etc. Gotta say even as an adult these shows were entertaining enough for me to forget I was sick. 👍
As a girl I loved this show. I thought he was funny and the show punished him for acting like that. I hate how sensitive people are now where shows like this are taken so seriously. I miss the fun of Johnny Bravo. I love the wholesome moments Jonny has especially with his mom. You can see how much he loves her and same for her.
Right I'm a girl too and this show was so funny lol
Bigoted nerd detected
Not a girl, but I loved how sweet he could be, in his own meatheaded way, when he got a chance.
I loved him too. The new generations are snowflakes that can't either take a joke or even enjoy someone trying to hit on them without them thinking they'll get graped.
But we have ourselves as millennials to blame, we never taught them otherwise
@@BirdiePlaysYTthat is such a weird thing to say…. Ppl criticizing some old cartoon you liked doesn’t make them snowflakes and the last part??? Wtf
Was Johnny an idiot with his views on women? Yes, more often than not. BUT I always found him to be cutely naive about the whole thing, hell the reason he got buff in the first place was so he could look good for a girl he liked! But the man loves his Momma (who was always a treat to watch too) and he never hurt anyone! What’s the harm?
Thanks for the nostalgia HatsOff (call me a new subscriber) and hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙
He's a sweet meathead that tries his best.
He bullys carl😂😂
You'd think this guy would be perfect for the present day. He ain't Pepe Le Pew, every time he approaches women in his usual way he gets hut down, HARD. The few times he had actual dates was when didn't do his "macho" routine.
and they were all truly wholesome too
You can't show men pursuing women anymore. You can't show women fawning over men anymore. Puritanism entering the liberal left has been the most bizarre shift in morality I've seen in American culture. I used to think it was mostly a religious conservative thing but damn did that table turn.
27:30 To be fair it seems like CN picked up on this and had Johnny and Velma actually be a couple during their Cartoon Network Bumpers back in the day.
Bro I swear that Pops & Carl was always there. You telling me they weren't BLEW my mind
I just had no concept of seasons back then soni just thought they came later
We really didn't understand how tv seasons worked then as we do now
it's funny bc I saw someone else say they don't remember carl at all even tho they watched johnny bravo all the time. I guess that person only watched season 1 and didn't know the show was revived a couple yrs later
I always find it funny that this is considered by some to have not aged well because the entire joke of JB to me is the dichotomy between a naive moronic guy whose headspace is still trapped in the 50s-70s living in the modern world where his idea of romance/general etiquette is already considered outdated itself. I think the series really deserves credit for making a character with so few redeemable qualities yet still so lovable and entertaining for so many people, I think that's why you don't see him getting outwardly lambasted the same way a character like Pepe Le Pew has (though even in that case, it comes across as simply people not being privy to a very basic joke).
Also wanted to note, Johnny Bravo actually appears as a silent cameo in Teen Titans Go's WB 100th Anniversary Special, which is pretty cool to see him acknowledged but also really annoying that he didn't get any lines especially because Jeff Bennett himself has a voice role in the episode!
Johnny can be very sweet and caring when he isn't trying so hard, and he tries so very, very hard, all the time.
My parents used to tease me about "watching my boyfriend Johnny Bravo." It would annoy me so much as a 6 year old 😂
thats adorable
That is pretty adorable actually
not dissimilar from online friends nowadays calling out each others' waifu/husbando
It would have been amazing if you had cosplayed the little girl in the show 🎀
I still reference the "I cannot be seen without my glasses" bit to this day!
Johnny is 19. He's got so much testosterone that he looks 30.
I like the fact that Richard Simmons is his bully and constantly beats up Johnny Bravo.
Don Knotts was the Gilbert goddfrey of old cartoons methinks
That's Officer Barney Fife to you!
Ralph Furely was a fashion icon~
"This is a men's fitness magazine; I wanna look LIKE this, not AT this!"
Is my favorite exchange
my mom wasn't much for cartoons, but she really enjoyed and still remembers Johnny.
If it wasn’t for Johnny Bravo, I wouldn’t have known about Farrah Fawcett.
One of the most inspiring Texan, among the likes of fellow Corpus Christiana, SELENA QUINTANILLA 🫶🏽
THANK YOU JOHNNY BRAVO
I'll always remember that one of the first episodes involves Johnny meeting a guy who is basically a PUA (that episode being before the term was around) and rejecting his dishonest approach to getting girls. Johnny had some unexpected depth!
Johnny has never been the kind of guy to lie about who or what he is because he wants the lady that caught his eye and heart of the day to want him not some made up story like the episode where he got mistaken for a movie director he doesn't just pretend to be one he Immediately dives head first into the job for all the good it did he made a whole ass movie and even acted all the parts himself after launching his stars into space by mistake
Whats a PUA?
@@MrNo0p Pick Up Artist
The entire point/joke of Johnny Bravo, is that he's oblivious to his own sexism and immaturity.
True, but I think that the issue is moreso that his persona is very imitable, so the concern is that a young audience will copy the behaviour without really knowing the context.
I'm not saying that it's a credible thing to be worried about, as I can't imagine a bunch of small boys thinking that behaving like that would have better results than on the show, but TV networks underestimating the intelligence of children is nothing new.
The show would probably do alright if they did something along the lines of the new X Men cartoon and just made the exact same show for an adult audience (provided that they don't go out of their way to add edgy content on the grounds that it's a show for adults now. Johnny Bravo doesn't need to have a shift in tone or an increase in the raunchiness of the humour to work. It's already fine as is and there's enough room for the show to explore some more mature ideas without it becoming a mean spirited show that adds swearing, substance abuse and overly sexualised female characters.)
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 ... he's also utterly heterosexual, which I suppose would be a big no-no these days.
@@casanovafunkenstein5090At least wasn't as bad as Pepe was, and he's funny unlike Pepe
@@richardhart9204 IDK, especially given how conservative the industry is and how much several corporations want to not acknowledge LGBT people in programming, just so they can broadcast it in more places. Remember all the hurdles that Rebecca Sugar had to go through for their show "Steven Universe", and the characters in question there are genderless rock people.
@@drdewott9154 ... and, QED.
people whine about how this show can't be made today but it's all about a himbo who never gets the girl. his machismo isn't celebrated, it's the joke
People, nowadays, just don't like fun things. They like to pretend to be offended and yell at everyone.
My guess is the issue comes from the shorter attention span people currently have. They watch it up to the point where Johnny flirts, then they turn it off because they're so "offended" for the helpless women he was "assaulting", and nobody was there to save them from his cartoonish misogyny.
The joke isn't understood by the wannabe-woke crowd, like ms bellum
Not whining, it's an obvious observation. There is zero chance that "modern" producers could stop at actual humor. White men MUST be completely humiliated, it's no longer enough just to make them the butt of the joke. And an actual show centered on a straight white man? No, nope, not a chance. Nothing like this will ever be "reimagined", and thank God the talentless hacks in charge of the industry have zero motivation to posthumously destroy the memory of this classic.
Kids today aren't very keen on nuance. They're programmed from elementary school to look for problems exclusively.
Anytime they fire 90% of the original team, including the show's creator, in order to bring on "more experienced people," it's because they want the show to conform to a feel and style of all their other shows. Those long-time contributors aren't nearly as likely to fight back against changes that undermine the show because they *don't care about the show* in the first place.
I'm more annoyed the network stopped any mention of him. Johnny was something I grew up on in the late 90s that was legit funny. It feels like ever since his absence Cartoon Network really hasn't felt the same. A revival would be awesome but at this point it will never work on something like CN
That freakin' pilot telling Donny "You're conceited" was delivered so perfectly it's been in my head for decades.
I watch the Scooby episode every Halloween and the Santa episode every Christmas. This show is so under appreciated. The School House Rock episode is probably my favorite though.
I remember all the rumors about The Rock playing Johnny in a live action movie back when the show was still pretty big
Of course it had to be a rumor. The Rock wouldn't dare to play someone that gets beaten by women frequently.
Heck yeah. The show that taught me strong women are all that and then some. One of my favourite cartoons from CN, ever!
Johnny Bravo wasn't the favorite show of anyone I knew but everyone did love him, he was hilarious.
Season 1 was awesome. It had morals and catchy songs. Season 2 & 3 was like "F*** that!" and was(and still is) the funniest things in all of animations. Iconic lines. Guaranteed to leave even the toughest in stitches. The cruise, Hair gel, The clones and The outer space babes episodes are my favs.
Something that I loved about the Johnny Bravo cartoon, is that its Latin American Spanish dub, especially in the second and third seasons, added tons of regional (mainly from Mexico) jokes that weren't on the original, that was something that other shows from CN from that era used to do a lot, particularly in other shows like KND and Ed, Edd 'n Eddy.
I remember a joke from an episode where Johnny accidentally hijacked a train where he demanded to watch CN shows for free on TV, don't know if that joke was in the English version as well, but in LA Spanish it was funnier because Johnny and I am Weasel share the same VA, Víctor Hugo Aguilar
I loved Johnny Bravo growing up - my dad loved him too! He was a hoot. Despite his idiocy with women, he's a very sweet guy. Just the way he treats his momma is clear enough.
Bunny is a wonderful mom. She coddles Johnny a lot sometimes but she really cares and is reliable.
NOOOOOO I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE GYM 😭😭
Just like Johnny
Johnny and Velma would always be one of my favorite ships on CN.
Johnny Bravo was always one of my top 5 Cartoon Cartoons, alongside Dexter, PPG, Ed Edd n' Eddy, and KND. I know this'll probably sound blasphemous, but I personally preferred the middle seasons compared to the first and last seasons, not that they were bad, mind you. Whether CN wants to admit it or not, this was one of their most iconic shows.
37:31 Season 1 of JB definitely had 70s or 60s vibes written all over. Guest stars from those eras, Schoolhouse Rock, etc.
I'd say my favorite episodes are the ones where he's paired with an unlikely partner. A moose from Wilderness Protection Agency (I think that's the name), a camel, a werewolf, etc.
I also thought that as well, for some reason the first season of Johnny Bravo feels very 70s in my opinion. I know that the show, alongside Dexter's Lab, Cow & Chicken/I am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls where the last series to be produced under Hanna-Barbera Studios, but unlike the rest of those JB felt more like a sort of classic JB style cartoon made in the late 90s
The second season felt more like a modern cartoon from the era, which I actually founded more funny as a child. Not that the first or final seasons were bad, it's that I found the weird humor from the second season funnier
Really cool that we got a full-fledged Johnny Bravo video. It's funny how many of us as kids didn't notice the big crew changes for JB, as it happened before that happened to PPG and Dexter's Lab. Also, since you say Van is Johnny's Father, shouldn't you be jealous of him being with Bunny? XD
I liked when he met the Scooby gang.
I started saying "Whoa mama" and "Hoo! Hah! Huh!" while watching this. Johnny instantly caught me again. Man, I loved that show. Also, completely agree about the first season being the best Johnny.
And the Scooby Doo episode was gold. The glasses joke is definitely my favourite joke in the whole show.
I just wish it was easier to rewatch this show. It was some of my funniest watchings as a kid. And some jokes even hit today like "Was any of that story true Karl?" "No. I just said it feeling desperate for attention."
The modern impression of Johnny Bravo has the same issue that Pepe Le Peau has. The misinterpretation of him being someone to look up to. With both cartoons, the joke wasn't "look at this stud" but "look at this idiot who *thinks* he's a stud".
Though Johnny has the added benefit of genuinely being a good person, whereas Pepe was mostly one-dimensional.
When I found out that JB was created by an asian man, a southeast asian man in the 90s! Our southeast asian rep is very rare
Johnny probably didn't hook up with Velma because she's a minor, honestly that episode would have been pretty badly remembered in retro spec if they had got together.
the Velma / Johnny glasses bit lives rent free in my head for ever. My Glasses! I cant see with out my glasses! - My Glasses! I cant be seen with out my glasses!
there is not Johnny Bravo Season 2 or beyond. thats Some... THING wearing its skin
I always like that episode where Johnny and Carl get arrested and go to prison and then break out of prison by disguising themselves as a pair of parents going out for a night and leaving the warden and who is their babysitter to watch the other prisoners
“One last time, ‘Do the monkey with me’” def hit it one time with my old ass but seriously hearing those words hurt 😢
It's too bad Van just erased Carl and Pops from the show. It would be cool see these characters now being written by Van. I did think the new writers did a better job in adding new supporting characters to a popular show, unlike a show like Fairly Odd Parents (with characters like Poof and.....you know lets not even bring the rest up).
Well...Poof wasn't that bad, neither was Foop. Those additions made sense...I mean Timmy wishing for a baby sibling was going to happen at some point, and if Poof is a thing, so must Foop be as for every fairy there is an Anti-Fairy. They should have stopped after Meet The Oddparents or at least have had an alternate ending where the golfball didn't rat out Mr. Turner. At least it seems like Mrs. Turner wanted to try to connect to Timmy, but couldn't quite manage it somehow.
This show deserves way more credit and respect. Great video. Stayed up until 4am watching this.
Thanks!
@@HatsOffMedias You're welcome!
I personally think johny would work extremely well in today's environment. Just take someone with the balls to do it.
Johny was an example of toxic traits not being the way to happiness. The closest he ever gets to being happy is when he's genuine and not giving into his toxic traits.
The having velma but not wanting her is peak Johnny.
So chad that he actually has say on what he wants.
I’m honestly surprised Johnny didn’t have a Harem because this Cartoon has Anime written all over it.
48:00 that double booty shot at Ms.Bravo was something I didn't expect to see, but I'm glad I finally did. 😁
I recall an interview with Chuck Jones, I believe on NPR, where he recounted that early in his career, he was explicitly forbidden from doing smear animation, as it was seen as a trick of low budget animation studios, used to save money. So Chuck rebelliously started to experiment with it, and found that it added to the language of animation. It allowed cartoon characters to have a level of mobility that was not simply mimicking real life motion, but instead, was surpassing it. A major result of this was the timelessly iconic frantic chase animation that instantly became one of the trademarks of the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. Come to think of it, WB really oughta make a decent Wile E. Coyote theatrical film. Oh...wait...oh no...
I always remember a Johnny Bravo episode with a sentient clover.
nobody ever gives mae whitman the love and attention she deserves ! i love her in everything she’s ever been in fr 😭
Rumor has it that there was gonna be a live action Johnny Bravo movie starring Dwayne Johnson about him trying to find out who his father was but was scrapped because of the failure of the Powerpuff Puff Girls Movie. I think I would've went with that idea but I'd much rather have it be animated though
I quote “I can’t be seen without my glasses” all the time. Definitely my favorite episode.
I always saw Johnny Bravo as a punchline and as an example of how NOT to be. He was always shown to be a jerk, and this was also virtually always shown to be his downfall. It's like watching a childhood bully suddenly get such massive karmic backlash that their life just implodes.
Lol what part did johnny become a bully?😅 but his lines was amazing!
"my glasses! 🕶️ i cant be seen without my glasses!"
Noone ever understands my reference when I say "hoo ha huh."
Mae Whitman is one of my favorite actors/VAs still in the business.
She's a superstar
@@HatsOffMedias she's also able to be 2 Batgirls and 1 Wonder Girl at the same time as she's voiced both the original Bette Kane and Babs Gordon (the second and the one most are familiar with) on Young Justice as well as Cassie Sandsmark, Donna's successor in the bracelets...just be warned if anybody voices an Amazon...each one's lasso has a different effect and Cassie's will make show how much your own anger can literally shock you.
I always thought Johnny was like 17 😭😭
This was the cartoon I used to watch religiously with my dad when I was a kid!!! Strange, but fitting, that Johnny Bravo was what brought a dad and his 9 year old daughter together. I only ever got to see him in the summer, and he always made time spend time with me after work. To this day we still quote Johnny Bravo to each other.
My head cannon for Van Partible's name goes like this... His parents, freshly arrived in America, needed to write their sons name on some immigration forms, but it had to be written in English. So in sitcom cartoon fashion, they looked around and saw a beater vehicle with a For Sale sign that said "Van - Partable."
And the rest was history.
I distinctly remember thinking his antics it was cringy and sad as a boy watching it. I dont wanna live in a world where this show gets buried but velma gets a second season
Johnny Bravo simply wasn't outdated.
It was ahead of its tim, really.
Like, buff, muscular, self made dude who is overt about his interests in women but when it comes right down to it he is actually a bit of a sweetheart? Aside from being jobless, he's sorta've a role model. His only real downsides are how he tries to flirt by mimicking the things he has seen and being a little too overconfident, but he is far from a bad guy.
I feel like he got canned and silenced mostly because of PERCEIVED sexism... Which, to be frank, is incredibly common nowadays.
Hands down, best cartoon on the network. My grandpa and grandma loved that show too. My grandparents watched it with me every time I went over, and my grandma even quoted it in public! She hasn't ever since grandpa passed, but its so sentimental to both of us. I was nine when that happened, i'm 30 now. Johnny Bravo is forever in my heart lol.
We need Johnny Bravo meets Girls Bravo , A world of only girls which can not stand him.
Wild idea
What the HAT (HatsOffMedia iconic catchphrase)
Can't stop me from saying it
Yeah having a forgotten CN property must suck, huh?
I'll never forget Megas!!!
@@HatsOffMedias unfortunately since megas was written off for tax reasons that will never come back. T.T
I think women like this show the most. My grandma and mom loved this showed. Hell I got my mom collection for her birthday and she was so happy.
I enjoyed this goofball of a man. He shows the best of humanity and comedy. It sucks to find out what happened to him during Johnny Bravo but I'm glad he got back to doing what he was passionate about. He clearly knew what he wanted for his show. (I guess that’s why season 1 only got the hall of fame.) My favorites were the holiday specials and at one point it was one of theirs too. From showing the love for one another to how much of a kid he truly is. But I distinctly remember when we had cable an seen JB AN THE EDDS Valentine’s Day special and bumper I fell in love with that episode. To this day I remember watching it only once on CN and just looking back last year it’s still one of my favorites. I’m truly glad JB got his own movie and in the hour timeframe (Classic) and I hope to see it in the near future. Just wish they aired it in America. Plus it was interesting to see behind the vail. Both the staff and samurai Jack. lol classic bumper. Hopefully one day we will get our ultimate series box set on dvd/bluray.
At least we got 2 Funko Pops of Johnny in the past couple years when WB finally got their butts off the CN IP and let them make retro-merch like Nick has been doing the past 15 years. That's got to count for something.
Funko Pops don't count.
@@Furluge Maybe you'd prefer a 30 dollar designer action figure the size of an 80's G.I. Joe that only works if you keep it on the card. So it's basically a glorified art piece.
I miss the 00's era action figure boom. You could get a Muppet with like a crapload of episode specific accessories for like 10-15 bucks.
Are you planning on covering EVERY Cartoon Network original?
Yep!
@@HatsOffMediasDoes kids next door count?
That show was my shit as a kid.
Cartoon Network has really dropped the ball on this one! Always happy to see more people stand up for Johnny Bravo! One of my favorite 2000s cartoons ever! We need this back! Well done! The Christmas special will always be my favorite story! This show definitely deserves a comeback! Also I head cannon Johnny and Velma but I respect your head cannon as well!
Does anyone else remember that commercial where Johnny meets Samurai Jack while they’re both doing laundry? That was an important moment to me as a little gay boy
Johnny Bravo was a funny character, and a staple of the early Cartoon Network. I loved the original episodes, but I largely skipped the "Carl and Pops" era.
This was a great watch! All the stuff about Van Partible was real inspiring too. Hits home for reasons I can’t explain
Artist always feel each other's struggles
I always remember the Farah Fawcett episode and his quote along the lines of: "Oh man Farah Fawcett!! ....the only person who's hair's PRETTIER than mine."
Here are the stuff CN has done with Johnny Bravo in the 2020’s in spite of being a problem with today’s standards:
-CN Classics Funko Pop lineup
-Complete Series iTunes set on the 30th anniversary
-Cartoon Network Classics merchandise
-Teen Titans Go!: Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary
-Two social media posts: one about crossover ideas and one about characters in graffiti
Did anyone see John Cena in a garbage bag commercial dressed like johnny Bravo
I remember this one girl back in school that used to draw a lot of Johnny Bravo fan art, some of it was ... a bit NSFW ... point is, she LOVED this show.
When Johnny started screaming about "getting a job", I felt that 😅
Funfact:johnny bravo name came from Barry
Williams Greg from the brady bunch.
The name not the charater.
I always thought seasons 2 & 3 were the good seasons. I never liked the season 1 episodes as a kid and I never knew season 4 existed until years later. I miss this show a lot and it's way too hard to find these days. No reason it couldn't have been on Max or Adult Swim.
"WHAT? I WAS YOUNG. IT WAS NEW YEARS EVE. THE CHERRY COLA MADE ME GIDDY!"
Johnny .... you good???????????????
I think the best thing about Johnny (as compared to the recent justified cancelling of Pepe Lepu) is that Johnny is constantly getting beaten up and turned down... he has to deal with consequences of his more problematic behaviors, and seeing women stand up for themselves is honestly *still* a very progressive stance to take. I don't know if Johnny would fit in today's media climate, but they really shouldn't be trying to hide him like this either.
That explains why Season 1 of Johnny Bravo was the only season so far to be released on DVD.
Most women and even men are overly sensitive now and it's sad because this cartoon is seriously funny. And as a woman, I can tell you the humor comes from the fact Johnny gets his butt kicked. That's the whole point! He gets his comeuppance and it's satisfying as a woman to see. They aren't encouraging men hitting on women, that's why again, he gets his butt kicked. Everyone misses the point of the show. Just like they did with the Power Puff girls and Cera Bellum. Her name is literally a play on part of the brain because she's smarter than the mayor and basically runs the town herself. It's like shows aren't allowed to be funny anymore because everyone gets offended and it's honestly sad.
