Idk if there's a term for it but there's something about how cartoons would have the first season that felt slower, more personal and a tinge of melancholy in a way. Observed this in this show, Spongebob, Family Guy, Simpsons and even the Boondocks.
The first season happens to be the only one I ever caught any episodes of as a kid, so I was really confused by the vitriol and whipcrack jokes its online presence was defined by a few years later. Since I’ve still barely seen anything after Season 1, I’m ecstatic now knowing there’s more of that one out there for me to lo…li…toler…Johnny Test.
I was exactly the same, I always revered it as a somewhat misunderstood (albeit poorly aged) lesser known show like Camp Lazlo, only to realize most other people's experience with it was... really bad. I can't believed the show existed as an antithesis of it's own season 1 for multiple other seasons, and that the original was thrown away.
Given how WB originally made the show with Cookie Jar Entertainment, I do wonder how differently the show would’ve gone if they had continued producing the show rather than Cookie Jar.
@@JeskidoYTThe animation would be better with traditional style and the overuse of that whip sound effect to exaggerate character movement( that is there due to flash animation being less expressive) wouldn't need to be there besides a one time occurrence.
I remember honestly being shocked to learn the internet hates Johnny Trst. Looking back, yeah it's no Adventure Time or Regular Show sure. But I enjoy a lot of the show as a kid and I definitely think these earlier episodes are up there. I actually remember noticing the theme song change and slowly remembering which episodes used which intro. It was a bit of a fun thing as a kid
Here’s something else interesting worth noting: Kids’ WB! always used the original intro for Johnny Test, even during seasons 2 and 3 despite the show’s more well-known second theme song having already been introduced in Canada by then. We wouldn’t hear about how Johnny was the epic kid with a head of firey hair and a turbocharged backpack until January 2008, when the series began airing on Cartoon Network (Kids’ WB! continued broadcasting the show in the way they always did until its demise in May 2008).
Your recap of the miniscule universe made me realize... why did this show have so many Alternate Universe episodes??? Even in that weird cancelled youtube series, they did an Alternate Universe episode right out of the gate
The female johnny test, johnny bravo episode where hes a woman, and female timmy turner made me feel a lot of things I didnt understand till I became an adult, even then im not fully sure what it is
This is like that meme with the two roads and the two castles, one colorful and whimsical while the other is eerie and haunted and shit, but in this case the captions would be "being trans" and "having a transformation fetish" respectively
Sameeeee I'm only thinking about it in hindsight by now. But I'm also very comfortable as I am, I kinda don't know what's up I have time to figure stuff out though no rush
Watching Johnny test while my house smells like a pool, don’t ask, is weirdly nostalgic for a childhood vacation where my family stayed at a water park hotel
Season 1 Johnny Test and season 2 onward Johnny Test honesty feel like different shows half the time. Season 1's humor feels less forced and of course theres no annoying whip crack
It's extremely extremely sad to think that no one in current Warner Bros (discovery) has any recollection of Johnny test, their first original IP cartoon post 2010
Watching this knowing about the recent passing of Bling Bling's original Latin Spanish VA earlier this month makes this a bit of a bittersweet experience, considering how much I watched that dub back in the day (he was strangely renamed "Rorro Pirroro" there though, but otherwise everyone else's named the same). But overall, I did remember plenty of the early episodes showcased here despite remembering seasons 2 and 3 the most. And regardless of the show's decline in animation quality when moving to Flash, at least it has decent to great/memorable main character designs from the get-go. As a kid I was quite fond of Mary and Sissy iirc. And the existence of 16:9 season 1 episodes is intriguing and yet kinda expected given that WBA was already starting to future proof widescreen HD versions of their shows since the early 2000s (and CN did the same thing with select shows like OG Ben 10). Maybe it didn't get fully released out of the whole rights shakeups once Cookie Jar took over before HD fully became the standard; though hopefully it does see the light of day later.
I still like the later seasons despite the whipcracks and the screaming they were still pretty entertaining for me. The plots were fun and original, the parodies were great, the humor and characters dynamics added a layer of depth to the show minus overreliance on certain jokes later on and it was awesome to see how the world played out. I dont mind if it was not the most original with some of its choices or if they could have handled it better because i dont think it was ever gonna be an adventure time type show really. I think it was meant to be just a zany fun not so serious worldbuilding type of show.
I've always loved this season. I was sad when it stopped airing on Teletoon. However, I remember one time they brought it back and labelled them as "lost episodes". They even made small promos to hype it up! My favorite episode is probably "Johnny's House of Horrors", all the weird and creepy modifications they did to the house were just fascinating to me, shame you didn't mention it at all.
I remember that whole "lost episodes" thing they did. I even watched them when they aired and it felt like a sorta different show which... Was honestly kinda better
When it comes to Johnny Test and looking back on cartoons while I get older, I get Thanos "perhaps I judged you to harshly," vibes. Probably because there was a period where CN aired it nonstop like TTG.
14:49 Hey, I recognize that Flash game after it was originally a Mucha Lucha game (themed after the "The Collector" episode), but before it got reskinned again into a Tom and Jerry Tales flash game that The CW4Kids website kept up long after that show left the schedule.
The WB Era of Johnny Test is a real classic. The characters were more fun, the music was more dope, the stories were more entertaining, and more importantly, "No Whip Crack." I've also come to really appreciate the hand-drawn animation of the show after years of experience the janky 2000s flash animation.
I hope you're aware that Loonatics isn't really a reboot because it follows a cast of new characters who are not the same as their ancestors who were the original Looney Tunes. Loonatics is more of a spin off if anything, not a reboot.
11:26 TV Captions always said "Monkey face" and "Sonic boom, messy room" where I was from. Also I will NOT hear any slander on the Animaniacs reboot. Inferior? Yes. Funny? Also yes.
I have a piece of recoverd lost media that might be relevant to this. There was a rare KidsWB promo that promoted Johnny Test along with Coconut Fred and Loonitics Unleashed. In the video, Johnny's voice was portrayed by a woman. Not sure if the audio used was from the pilot or not. (Link in the replies)
I always remember enjoying the first season as a kid. Then I Remember coming home from school and noticing the animation had changed. That’s when I dropped the show except for minor curiosity rewatches. Glad to see that what I remember was true!
You probably already know this but Lila Test (Johnny's mother) is completely absent for the last four half hours of Season 1 that aired in 2006; its at its weirdest in Lil' Johnny where we see opposite versions of everyone in the Test family except for her. Her boss must NOT be very kind to her...
@@KremBotopOh God is Johnny like a John Snow bastard? Susan and Mary have to be infidelity babies considering neither of the parents have red hair and it's a recessive trait.
huh. I honestly didn't realize season 1 of Johnny Test was considered lost media. I think mostly becasue I watched it when it originally aired on Kids WB back in the the day. i remember enjoying and liking it, but never having as much of a chance to rewatch it since.
The writing was so much better in the first season, and I preferred the original theme song. When Dukey's voice actor changed, it was the beginning of the end
When I first saw Season 2 airing on Kids' WB, I was weirded out by the major change of animation. It all felt weird to me, and I didn't like it back then, but I'm kinda used to it now.
I was the same exact way when I saw the design change during the second season and I thought to myself “I could have sworn season 1 didn’t have this design change”.
I could be wrong, but I think the proto-Johnny voice might be Ryan Drummond. The clip at 12:31 in particular sounds like a higher pitched Adventure-era Sonic.
Man I remember seeing 3 season 1 episodes on TV as a kid. Just 3. And one was GO SMOOTHIE, GO SMOOTHIE, that one. And I genuinely remember loving how funny it was, but then literally like… a Year later I get my first glimpse of Canadian Johnny Test on Teletoon… Our equivalent to CN (around as of 1997 to January 2023 or 2022 I believe but CN bought them and they merged, turns out Canada didn’t want to see mostly trash, sad how that turned out seeing the state of American animation these days.). They also aired season 1 as they had got the rights to air it prior to the green lighting of s2. I took one look at that flash animation and… I just can’t tell you how upset we were. MULTIPLE KIDS in my school were like “Johnny Test changed and it SUCKS”. It wasn’t just Americans who noticed this. Canadians had season 1 air over here too and I remember as a kid desperately trying to find those episodes and them being nowhere to be seen until years later. Lol and then ALL the rest of Johnny Test was trash. Leave it to this country to mess up something good, almost all of our in-house tv here S U C K S we barely have any good franchises or tv shows to our names. Funniest part is it just got worse and worse before the reboot. Handled by WB, then Cookie Jar AKA the remains of Dic entertainment (Canadian company, bad from the offset) and then later on they just gave up and Teletoon just started doing it in house, which made it WORSE, and WORSE. I remember checking in to see just how bad it got and to count the whipcracking noises at like 14 lmfao. Look ok, Teletoon stopped being good when I was like 7 and that was prior to the premiere of season 1 in Canada. So to see something refreshingly funny on the channel at a time when it had lost its true identity and was really trash was quite refreshing… And then season 2 happened and it went downhill from there. The point I’m trying to get at here is n e v e r entrust us with a good property we will fuck it into the ground the show runners here are all out of touch senile 80 somethings in suits
yeah and season 1 is the only season that dosen.t have the whip sound effect that will always play in a matter of 20 seconds that will be used in the later 5 seasons
I was skeptical of widescreen season 1 since it was just the intro and thought maybe the episodes itself were 4:3 but that WB Promo really suprised me Also, I have Quicktime
I have the newer Quicktime which doesn't seem to work with the files when I downloaded the dump of it. Think it only works with the older Quicktime that supported interactive/VR files.
@@CosmicSponge2004 not sure, but apparently interactive stopped working sometime around the transition from QuickTime framework to AVFoundation, so sometime during 7.
Forgot to mention but I’m on macOS Monterey and also own a Windows 10 system, but both dont seem to have Quicktime interactive working. Attempting to play the archive files only gets audio and says “some parts are incompatible”
Johnny Test has always been one of my absolute childhood favorites EVER, Cartoon Network (& WB) would never be the same without it!!! Also happy new year to ya, I guess lol
That's mostly what I remember the show from when I was a kid and it was on Kids WB. I had no idea it went on for so long well after that besides suddenly seeing this show plastered on Cartoon Network for a long while.
I remember watching all of these episodes on cartoon network in my country (Africa), so i was suprised by the title of this video. I even recorded some of those episodes which was a thing i liked to do when i was younger, like the one where they shrunk and saw another version of themselves.
Sometimes I wonder what Johnny Test would be like if it was still owned by Warner Bros. They still own the Trademark but Wildbrain has full control over the IP. I think a co production between the two studios and a new approach to the writing could help the series reach its full potential
Whoa! I'm so happy, that more lost JT stuff being found, while also learning more and more infos about the show! And yes, Season 1 is the superior season. I just wish, the series would evolve its full potential, so it could shoot for the stars. Maybe to another galaxy, perhaps? *wink wink*
I completely forgot TG4 did an Irish dub of Johnny Test. It really is a shame most Irish dubs are lost media, like Fosters Home, ATLA, Sponge Bob and the first 3 seasons of Adventure Time. I hope somewhere in Ireland these dubs are persevered. Since I grew up with TG4, it's odd hearing it pronounced in English instead of "TG ceathair (ca-her)"
i dont really hear it lol. besides it'd have to be someone canadian since the entire cast was meant to be canadian before they brought back james arnold taylor from the pilot (which had an american cast)
@NICKtendo 11:37 I like the interesting fact that you mentioned that even though the first season was only released in 4:3 full screen 📺 with the left and rights cropped out (because some North American households at the time in 2005-2006 still had standard definition full screen TVs), it was animated and edited in 16:9 widescreen.
There is a mistake with the LMW link in the description, the mistake specifically is that the last quotation mark for the article name is separate from the link so the redirect is not the article itself, and is an error. Great video though
2005 honestly wasn't bad year for animation, there were a lot of good shows airing around that tiime such as Ed, Edd n Eddy Kim Possible Jimmy Neutron, Xiaolin Showdown The Batman Jackie Chan Adventures TMNT (2003) Codename Kids Next Door Foster's Home American Dragon ATLA
I always prefer Janet over Sissy. Don't get me wrong I really like Sissy but I think Janet was better overall for Johnny you can actually see a romance hinted at the end of the episode "Johnny's Super Smarty Pants"
season one on 4kids was definitely a unique taste. when it continued to cartoonnetwork, the animation budget decreased each season, and more voice actors were leaving
JT was a bit of a depressing anime to me. the first season was great, but at the time, since I didn't have internet nor web-smarts to know what was happening, it was really jarring seeing the quality drop so suddenly. I still remember how re-runs sometimes would just mix episodes from different seasons and at one moment I would be watching S1 but then I'd have to change the channel because I just couldn't even. now, I even forgot there was a revival, but apparently it's good, so that's a more positive outcome
I never watched WB, only caught the show on Cartoon Network and only saw the bad episodes. I don't remember even cracking a smile while watching the show... but that leather biker joke made me genuinely cackle.
8:57 "I'm Richard Stone!" (as in the composer for Animaniacs, that WB Family Entertainment logo, and all the WB cartoons that Richard Stone did music for)
I remember watching a Johnny Test on Kids WB and liked it. When it came to CN I was happy until I saw what changed. I didn't know what was different at the time, I just knew it changed and that I didn't like the changes
i love johnny test i always feel like im the only person on the planet who casually has jt as there 2nd fav tv show of all time its always beenmy fav and everywhere i look people hate on it

Season 1 episodes barely aired here in Canada. I don't remember seeing any after 2007
I know that voice for Beta Johnny. That's BRAD SWAILE!!
I remember watching all of these episodes on cartoon network in my country (Africa), so i was suprised by the title of this video. I even recorded some of those episodes which was a thing i liked to do when i was younger, like the one where they shrunk and saw another version of themselves.
10:02 yes they did... that's called consistency 'cause Dukey took 3 DVDs.
Wow now we’re left with zero Johnny Test content in 2024!
Sometimes I wonder what Johnny Test would be like if it was still owned by Warner Bros. They still own the Trademark but Wildbrain has full control over the IP. I think a co production between the two studios and a new approach to the writing could help the series reach its full potential
Whoa! I'm so happy, that more lost JT stuff being found, while also learning more and more infos about the show!
And yes, Season 1 is the superior season.
I just wish, the series would evolve its full potential, so it could shoot for the stars. Maybe to another galaxy, perhaps? *wink wink*
That would have meant that WB creating more episodes and airing it on another network like CN instead of having an cheapass Canadian studio do it.
Man that hand drawn animation is such a sight for sore eyes compared to the later seasons.
And there's so much R34 of that female johnny, my god.
Blamkmmmme shady base
I completely forgot TG4 did an Irish dub of Johnny Test. It really is a shame most Irish dubs are lost media, like Fosters Home, ATLA, Sponge Bob and the first 3 seasons of Adventure Time. I hope somewhere in Ireland these dubs are persevered.
Since I grew up with TG4, it's odd hearing it pronounced in English instead of "TG ceathair (ca-her)"
The early Johnny voice sounds a lot like Ryan Drummond's Sonic, so that's my theory on who the VA's identity could be.
i dont really hear it lol. besides it'd have to be someone canadian since the entire cast was meant to be canadian before they brought back james arnold taylor from the pilot (which had an american cast)
I hear it! I swear it has to be him!
I would love to see more of Tom Kenny voicing Dukey 😂 super weird but interesting
I like Mary Test for she's the more normal one of the family except the whole loving gil thing but whatever.
@NICKtendo 11:37 I like the interesting fact that you mentioned that even though the first season was only released in 4:3 full screen 📺 with the left and rights cropped out (because some North American households at the time in 2005-2006 still had standard definition full screen TVs), it was animated and edited in 16:9 widescreen.
There is a mistake with the LMW link in the description, the mistake specifically is that the last quotation mark for the article name is separate from the link so the redirect is not the article itself, and is an error.
Great video though
fixed! had to use a link shortener to get it to work cause youtube would wrongly shorten it automatically. thanks!
I think replacement Johnny voice might be Greg Cipes.
Sounds pretty close at least.
2005 honestly wasn't bad year for animation, there were a lot of good shows airing around that tiime such as
Ed, Edd n Eddy
Kim Possible
Jimmy Neutron,
Xiaolin Showdown
The Batman
Jackie Chan Adventures
TMNT (2003)
Codename Kids Next Door
Foster's Home
American Dragon
ATLA
When was the last time america produced any 2D cartoon in house?
but the real question is how many whip cracks are in season one?
I always prefer Janet over Sissy. Don't get me wrong I really like Sissy but I think Janet was better overall for Johnny you can actually see a romance hinted at the end of the episode "Johnny's Super Smarty Pants"
Too bad she was killed off at the end of the 1st season and had a cameo in the second season but then never appeared again.
Yeah, with Sissy it felt more like a rivalry turned crush where, with Janet, it's show right off the bat that he had a crush on her.
It also helps that Janet has a different design. I never liked how Sissy's design was just a gender-swapped Johnny.
Season 1 is fully hand drawn while season 2 and the reboot is in flash
season one on 4kids was definitely a unique taste. when it continued to cartoonnetwork, the animation budget decreased each season, and more voice actors were leaving
4kids? You mean kidsWB
@@ludd4411 same thing
7:50 was reaaally afraid of a pickle nick jumpscare here, he may actually be gone for good
Coukd have predicted when this show first aired that it would be worthy of a video in 2023.
BB in latin Spanish was Roro Pirrorro, I just can't 🤣
JT was a bit of a depressing anime to me. the first season was great, but at the time, since I didn't have internet nor web-smarts to know what was happening, it was really jarring seeing the quality drop so suddenly. I still remember how re-runs sometimes would just mix episodes from different seasons and at one moment I would be watching S1 but then I'd have to change the channel because I just couldn't even. now, I even forgot there was a revival, but apparently it's good, so that's a more positive outcome
... Anime?
The first time I saw a season 1 episode was during a marathon in 2012. The different intro and BGM had me hella confused.
I never watched WB, only caught the show on Cartoon Network and only saw the bad episodes. I don't remember even cracking a smile while watching the show... but that leather biker joke made me genuinely cackle.
“John K Johnny” 😭
It’s strange to think that at some point, Johnny test wasn’t animated in flash
Anyone notice how different characters are drawn in most season 1 episodes?
i wonder whats the most replayed scene of this video
“SpongeBob at home” I’m laughing so hard I’m flooding the building 💀
Nicktendo mom from fairly oddparents name is Barnaby and and dad renamed himself filthy
Johnny Test is my favorite cookie jar entertainment show right next to the Doodlebops
8:57 "I'm Richard Stone!"
(as in the composer for Animaniacs, that WB Family Entertainment logo, and all the WB cartoons that Richard Stone did music for)
Canada was cheaper than Korea?! 😭
I remember watching a Johnny Test on Kids WB and liked it. When it came to CN I was happy until I saw what changed. I didn't know what was different at the time, I just knew it changed and that I didn't like the changes
The Kids WB Johnny Test was great, the theme song to me was way better than the Green Day remix
i love johnny test i always feel like im the only person on the planet who casually has jt as there 2nd fav tv show of all time its always beenmy fav and everywhere i look people hate on it
Bro, when did they make a the revival I didn't hear a peep until this video.

I don’t know if Kids WB closed down in 2006. Perhaps their original animation but then again Loonatics was still going for 06/07
Nicktendo love your videos
