I'd argue Cartoon network not having a mascot makes sense considering that they specialize in you know making cartoons, you wouldn't want to push a single franchise so having a different mascot (or mascots) every era is the best option
Yeah I think that makes the most sense, each era of the network is so identifiable and having one face take over the whole network could lead to some cartoons not getting as much attention from the network
This video was pointless because if you were a true Cartoon Network fan you would know that teen titans go is Cartoon Network mascot longest running show on the network and makes the most money
CN is kind of like Playstation where their mascot changes depending on the era. They aren't like Nick or Nintendo where they have one prominent face all the time, they tend to have a selection of popular IPs during every era that are all basically mascots together
I feel confident to say that Playstation mascot is Kratos. he wasn't there in the PS1, but since PS2 he have been the face of playstation, his franchise is the most prominent of the brand and his games is the biggest of each system it released in.

Your not wrong but I’d say bugs is the mascot of Warner brothers as a whole. Not necessarily of Cartoon Network. Bugs was created far before Cartoon Network was even an idea, it’s almost like how Disney owns marvel but you wouldn’t say marvels mascot is Mickey Mouse you know? You’re not completely wrong though I get where you’re coming from!
I keep calling The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10 and Adventure Time as CN’s “Big Three”, and maybe they can fit as mascots for the three different eras in which they debuted in, but I don’t think any of them fit as a mascot to the entire channel. They just don’t represent nearly enough. I agree with the idea that Cartoon Network doesn’t need a mascot. Like, the CN City bumpers had it exactly right. - “This is Cartoon Network.” and they show us all the cartoons living peacefully together.
Everything you said is perfect. The network represented more than just one face, it was a community of cartoons and creators that were all incredible in their own ways. Perfectly said man
I actually had a similar idea that PPG, Ben 10 and AT are the big 3 but for me it was the big 4 because I added OK K.O. To the list because it of its crossovers
I’ve always considered Dexter and Scooby Doo to be pseudo mascots of CN given how much they were used for promotions and ad breaks during the 90s and early 2000s. Scooby was even made President of the channel for a couple of years.
My guess is that CN didn't want to bother having one after a few attempts and rather let the characters and shows speak for themselves...... Disney Channel is part of the larger Disney fold, hence Mickey was bound to represent the channel in some way or form while Nickelodeon homegrown pretty much everything and naturally let the decision fall onto how things fold out.... CN however is interesting as even before Moxie, they had that Jester character that appeared in certain promotional materials and bumps but never caught on.
Yeah this makes the most sense. Cartoon network tried to force one with moxy and ended up making people like him even less, but in the end didn’t really need a mascot afterall, which works better for us because Nickelodeon plays nothing but SpongeBob while Cartoon Network still has a decent schedule
In my mind, Dexter has always been the mascot of Cartoon Network. CN's website had him as its icon in the 90s/early 00s. And Dexter's angular design along with his white lab coat and black shoes matched CN's original logo really well, which was black and white and rectangular. Even long after the channel stopped airing Dexter's Laboratory, I still considered him the mascot. I mean, Disney doesn't have to make more Mickey Mouse cartoons, or air Mickey Mouse on Disney Channel for you to know that Mickey is the mascot of Disney Channel. Like Mickey, Dexter came and made his mark, and the CN logo will always echo Dexter for me, just like how the mouse-head silhouette from Disney will always echo Mickey.
Yeah I can see what you mean, that’s a pretty good point. It’s just been a while since they’ve actually shown his face on the network outside of adult swim and anniversary bumpers. But you are right, the black and white does remind people of dexter

For Adult Swim's mascot, it often jumbles between Shake, Space Ghost or Rick. For Shake, there were a handful of AS bumpers that involved him bickering about what's on his mind. (What Would I Do For Cash, Shake's Perfect Day, and Love Song are three that come to mind.) He also had a walk around costume seen in bumpers and also appeared at the Colon Movie premiere, so I'd say he's the closest. Space Ghost was the first AS show and practically the godfather of the block, plus made a few appearances in other AS shows. (ATHF, Brak Show, Perfect Hair Forever) It would make sense for him to be the block's mascot, but the one thing halting this is because the show is actually very niche. For Rick, he's a definite answer since R&M is the most popular show on the block. He's the first character that comes to mind when you think AS, and has enough merchandise to fill the masses.

Teen titans is closer to their mascot,show has been running for over a decade and isn’t stopping anytime soon. Before that…Ed Edd N eddy was their longest running show. TTG is very popular for the network and very popular with kids. Powerpuff girls is CN’s rugrats..it was their first flagship brand in late 90s to early 00s that led to more flagship brands like adventure time in 2010s and now TTG.
I personally didn’t include the teen titans because those characters had to be licensed from DC Comics to Cartoon Network despite WB owning them both. But they aren’t the networks characters but I do agree that if they were, then they would 100% be the mascot because of how much the network spams them. Ed Edd n eddy is a really good pick, they definitely were the face at one point!
@@jayjaybulldog9180 TTG is very popular with kids. Kids don’t know the shows we watched on CN,if they do they’re a minority. TTG was also hate watched when it premiered so that helped it grow. TTG is the most popular TT incarnation. Even made more money than the original 80s comics and definitely made more money than the 2003 reboot show.
Adventure Time is my fave and is a show I hold above all others in my heart. Yet, I would say The Powerpuff Girls deserve to be the true face and mascot of CN as a whole.
I'd compare Dexter more to Ren and stimpy on Nickelodeon, they became the first global hit of their networks but then Ren and Stimpy started to lose steam and rugrats was gaining more popularity, the same could be said to dexter and Powerpuff girls.
If I’m a be honest, the true mascots were Finn and Jake adventure time hit at the time. They are one of the most recognizable cartoon characters of the modern generation era of the 2010s.
Having grown up with Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network I was surprised that Cartoon Network didn't have a mascot like how Nickelodeon has Spongebob and Disney Channel has Mickey Mouse representing the channels. I love that Cartoon Network doesn't have a mascot as it shows that all of its shows from over the years represents what it truly is. A channel focused on making cartoons and that speaks loudly for the channel itself with how much they've been able to give shows a chance with being brought to life. Even though things have changed nowadays with Cartoon Network to where things weren't like they once were the past is still there with the fans who grew up with those shows and the impact that Cartoon Network had on its viewers.
Wouldn’t Scooby Doo be considered a mascot given how his shows are often either reran or exclusive to the channel and how often he was used as a promotional tool up until the early 2000s? I remember he was made President of CN for a couple of years, he was in a lot of the commercial bumps that aired during ad breaks, and there was a contest that gave away a life sized build of him made entirely of Lego long before the company made official sets of Scooby and his friends.
I get why you’d say Scooby, but I didn’t include him because he existed long before the network did. I would say he represented boomerang more than Cartoon Network just like the other hannabarbara characters
I think it's because CN wants to have different tone each decade Dexter Lab and Power Puff Girls started the 1st age and Adventure Time and Regular Show started the 2nd if it wasn't for different corporations buying Warner and Streaming age there probably be Cartoon setting up the tone 2020's at CN there all a catalyst to what's to come for there respective era
I completely agree, every different era of the network has its own unique style and tone that is identifiable to that time period. Each decade had its own culture but the 2020 era sadly won’t because streaming and such. Great observation
@@HeySamus33Toonami still plays on Adult Swim on Saturday into Sunday nights though. What do you mean cancelled? It’s not what it used to be, for sure, I’m sad about it, too, especially when I returned to the block just to see what it’s like in 2020s, but it’s still there. They just aired Ninja Kamui as one of their exclusives that is later dropped on MAX. There’s still a few familiar Toonami faces like Naruto and One Piece. Now DS as well. Then, there’s Lycoris Recoil and a few weird American looking animations I don’t recognize. It’s not what it was. Rip InuYasha’s 4:30am slot. It ends at only 2:30am-ish. Or was it 2am? It’s back to airing later than when MHA temporarily convinced the block to air earlier at like 9:30pm or 10pm. Still, Toonami still chugs along in 2024 just barely. Sometimes the loss of tv era does seem a tragedy (even if tv and cable was a pain). We used to come together on so many shows that just doesn’t seem to happen as much anymore. It’s a shame the new gens may not experience that.
Hmm maybe The Powerpuff Girls are the mascots of Cartoon Network and Disney Junior was Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Princess Sofia and Doc McStuffins
I enjoyed this video, just some concrit, if you could isolate and make your voice clearer in the mix it would really make the videos cleaner! I look forward to see what else you’ll put out
I genuinely appreciate your critiques, you’re completely right. My voice is very muffled in most of my videos but I have recently purchased a new microphone and I will be investing in new equipment and a laptop so I can raise the quality of my videos. Also I have to work on my line delivery as well, sometimes I feel like I’m flat when I speak. So there are definitely steps I need to take to better this channel. I appreciate your honesty, content will improve soon!
@@Childishju I think you’re doing a great job and I’ve learned a lot of info from your videos so I really appreciate the fact that you put your time and effort into this. When I have some steady income I’ll definitely be throwing it your way, good luck with the new microphone and don’t worry, your delivery will get more comfortable the more you speak!

@@user-ki1xj5fl1i I really appreciate this, it means a lot. Probably the kindest and most helpful comments I’ve ever received. You’ve inspired me to make the best content of my abilities. And don’t worry about giving any money I’m just glad to have entertained you at all :).
Considering how CN starting off as a rerun channel, it would make sense to have the mascot for the channel be either Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry or even Fred Flintstone, I can't consider the OG CN characters as mascots since they come and go
I can understand that take. Personally I don’t view bugs or Fred as the mascot because they existed way before Cartoon Network was thought of. I’d say bugs is Warner brothers mascot but not cartoon networks. Almost like how bugs is Warner brothers mascot but he isn’t the mascot of DC despite Warner brothers owning it. But I can understand choosing one of the classic characters:)
Actually cartoon network indulged a lot in adventure time, adventure time merchendise alone made over 400 million dollars, and mutiple movies were planned but cancelled
I personally see Cartoon Network having a mascot shifting depending on the era, just like Playstation. For example: 1. Either Dexter or Space Ghost during the early 90s. 2. The Powerpuff Girls during the late 90s and early 2000s. 3. Ben 10 during the mid to late 2000s. 4. Finn and Jake during the early 2010s 5. The TTG since 2015 On side note, I would say this also somewhat applies to Adult Swim as well, just not as much as CN. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force trio were clearly the faces of Adult Swim throughout the 2000s, but since 2014 that position has been given to Rick and Morty.
ben is such a cool character. i personally voted for gumball on the poll but thats just because when i think cn i think gumball, both are goated characters, but gumball just feels more "cartoon network" to me, or at least current cartoon network
Ppg doesnt have a huge appeal either, yes its famous but its mostly targetted towards girls, definitely boys to but most boys like me are very embarrassed to watch it, thats why the ppg movie failed Its finn and jake, everyone loves that show
The Powerpuff Girls Movie came out the same year as Jonah A VeggieTales Movie, which was also an adaptation of a children's cartoon series and a failure that cancelled projects.
Adventure Time and Steven Universe might’ve lost out on being later on in the tv era. When people were moving towards streaming more and leaving tv schedules behind. Still, later on, in the time of my young nieces, nephews, and young child cousins, it appeared Teen Titans Go had taken over the channel and become all that was aired kinda like SpongeBob eventually became.
Yeah streaming kinda changed the way people watched and definitely cut adventure time and Steven’s run short. And yeah your niece and nephew are technically right, teen titans go did take over the network lol
I'd also argue that Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak were the unofficial mascots of Cartoon Network during its golden era (1995-2003). Think about it. Without Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, we wouldn't have the Cartoon Cartoons, Toonami, even Adult Swim.
Hey great point, I agree with you. These were very needed characters. But I dont think space ghost ever got the people behind him like some of the networks other options have
I agree with your take on PowerPuff girls being the mascot face of Cartoon Network however Ben 10 is still up there as the second face because when you really think about it, the franchise still to this day is being remembered fondly with TONS of RUclips fan videos, fan drawings, merchandise and reboots. For example when you go to the Cartoon Network hotel, they had a bunch of not just PowerPuff girls but also Ben 10 representations inside and outside along side adventure time to which have some representation for the brand.
@@Childishju Also I think that the reason why the PPG movie flunked in the box office was because it was released too soon while others such as men in black, hey Arnold the movie and the wild thornberrys movie was released prior in 2002 and that it should’ve released on a separate month to raise more box office stock.
@@Childishju Also I think the reason to why PPG movie flunked in the box office was because it was released too soon in the summer of 2002 due to men in black 2 and Hey Arnold the movie was released prior. Maybe if they had released the movie in later months it would’ve succeeded much larger.
No matter how you define mascot, you know if all three of the big ones are pulling up mafia style its gonna be Bugs, Mickey and SpongeBob holding the briefcases
Uhhhhhhhh….. I guess itz bloo of the 2000’s. I don’tknow, I seen him a lot. Along with his creator Mac, they were popular guys in the 2000’s and they hosted many summer related stuff at that time. :P
Good question, I would consider bugs more of a WB mascot as a whole. He represents the entire company but he was made far before Cartoon Network even existed so I don’t think he is the face of the network personally
They've had mascots, just not in the traditional sense. I'd say any main character from their flagship shows could count as a mascot (they essentially served as a unit of mascots in the Cartoon Cartoon era), though they had OCs to represent programming blocks more often than the whole network (TOM for Toonami, Erin and her alien friends for Miguzi, Pipoca and Henderson for Tickle U, the fat kid for Super Chunks), the Noods and Any Malu from CN Latin America are the only exceptions to that I've seen.
Cartoon Network doesn't have a mascot cause they always marketed their shows as a collective package rather the show is on their main channel Adult swim or boomerang rather through promos,The CN city or The Jingle Bell song commercial etc
8:50 Honestly, it would have been better if Warner Media (owners of Cartoon Network and The CW) dumped the "CN Real" stuff to The CW 4Kids so Cartoon Network wouldn't have its purpose defeated and continue doing its own thing to be unique from the other cable networks. I mean, Kids' WB and The CW 4Kids didn't have enough live-action programming to begin with, but if that happened, these Warner Media-owned programming blocks would have a bigger and better variety. Even Bobb'e Says is perfect E/I material since it's like AFV, but with an educational twist.
I actually like the idea of having each decade era of CN having its own mascot. For 90s, I think The Powerpuff Girls would be a good fit. For the 2000s (as a whole), I would choose Ben 10, for the 2010s, I would pick Adventure Time, and for the 2020s I would choose Craig of the Creek.
@@Childishju me too. And while the show came out in 2018, I’d argue that it really started to boost in popularity and honestly carried CN throughout most of the 2020/current decade. I know Teen Titans Go is a popular show on the network but I argue that it fits more in line with it being the mascot of DC/WB animation since teen titans (in general) is a dc property not a CN original.
I think a factor is the Mickey Mouse has been around since the 20s, and SpongeBob’s been running since ‘99, but no Cartoon Network show has that sort of immortality, even if the big 3 are still pop culture staples to this day
They were pushing ben 10 alot back in the day, and adventure time throughout the 2010s, I always thought of dexter and the powerpuff girls as the mascots.
For me: The Cartoon Network (Company): Rick And Morty or Powerpuff Girls CN: Adventure Time or Powerpuff Girls AS: Rick And Morty or Aqua Teens Toonami: Tom and Sara
I'm glad they don't nickelodeon in particular became so obsessed with spongebob that if a show couldn't compete with it, a once in a blue moon huge success immediately than they kill it off quick
I mentioned them a little, they both are definitely in the running. I just think adventure embodied the era of the network more. Despite me liking regular show more
While all these are great candidates for the mascot of Cartoon Network, you missed 2 big ones that were there since the beginning, and has been rebooted many times as well:- Looney Tunes and Scobby Doo/Mystery Inc.
All fantastic choices but I was trying to to aim for characters that were created by the network. It’s my fault for not making that clear but these are still great choices!
Spongebob is definitely considered Nickelodeon's Channel Mascot but there a problem: Overxplotation of Series Cartoon Network. goodly that not use some of characters from his original series for being Channel Mascot and overexploted.
Adventure Time is the best show ever, I think if they had a mascot it would be either Finn or Jake because they both are the main characters of the show + they have the most iconic cartoon designs.
Interesting choice, I do think they are one of the most iconic cartoons from the network. (Ps, Fiona and Cake was incredible and I will be making a video eventually)
@@Childishju Awe heck yeah!!! Fionna and cake is amazing. Will you also mention the wholesome relationship with Gary and Marshall? I love hearing people talk about them!
I see your logic but I wasn’t including teen titans go characters because CN doesn’t own the characters, they’re under the DC label. But you do have a really good point, they spam that show like crazy
tbh nickelodeon didnt have one either.... its only relatively recently that spongebob has kinda become that i believe only nick jr had that one face thing for some time Cn always was marketed as " a place for cartoons " so i dont think that would work if they had one but since theyve made a hard shift and are kinda hanging on by a thread now ...ttg has become its spongebob and is probably the thing id liken most to being a psudo mascot i guess even tho i dont like it
lol I did love me some cow and chicken but I wasn’t born when it was airing on the network. I watched it on boomerang as a kid. I personally preferred it over ren and stimpy
Great comment! I didn’t include bugs bunny or Scooby doo because they existed way before the network was even a thing. I’d say bugs is warners mascot and Scooby is bomerangs mascot. And yeah Cartoon Network is owned by turner broadcasting which is owned by Warner.

Teen titans is closer to their mascot,show has been running for over a decade and isn’t stopping anytime soon.
Before that…Ed Edd N eddy was their longest running show.
TTG is very popular for the network and very popular with kids.
Powerpuff girls is CN’s rugrats..it was their first flagship brand in late 90s to early 00s that led to more flagship brands like adventure time in 2010s and now TTG.
That's WB not CN
@@princewellidk so is PPG,WB owns them too.
Teen titans being the current mascot is valid.
Also WB owns CN.
I personally didn’t include the teen titans because those characters had to be licensed from DC Comics to Cartoon Network despite WB owning them both. But they aren’t the networks characters but I do agree that if they were, then they would 100% be the mascot because of how much the network spams them. Ed Edd n eddy is a really good pick, they definitely were the face at one point!
@@keeferkifflom360 Sucks that ttg still going due to the money whiles shows getting cancelled and tax right offs for no reason😔
@@jayjaybulldog9180 TTG is very popular with kids.
Kids don’t know the shows we watched on CN,if they do they’re a minority.
TTG was also hate watched when it premiered so that helped it grow.
TTG is the most popular TT incarnation. Even made more money than the original 80s comics and definitely made more money than the 2003 reboot show.
Adventure Time is my fave and is a show I hold above all others in my heart. Yet, I would say The Powerpuff Girls deserve to be the true face and mascot of CN as a whole.
I 100% respect that. They both hold special places in the network
14:11 Rigby with that guitar riff absolutely killed me
I freaking love that music video, it’s a shame they didn’t make more
I'd compare Dexter more to Ren and stimpy on Nickelodeon, they became the first global hit of their networks but then Ren and Stimpy started to lose steam and rugrats was gaining more popularity, the same could be said to dexter and Powerpuff girls.
Yeah that’s a really good example. I think that would have worked really well too.
If I’m a be honest, the true mascots were Finn and Jake adventure time hit at the time. They are one of the most recognizable cartoon characters of the modern generation era of the 2010s.
Having grown up with Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network I was surprised that Cartoon Network didn't have a mascot like how Nickelodeon has Spongebob and Disney Channel has Mickey Mouse representing the channels. I love that Cartoon Network doesn't have a mascot as it shows that all of its shows from over the years represents what it truly is. A channel focused on making cartoons and that speaks loudly for the channel itself with how much they've been able to give shows a chance with being brought to life. Even though things have changed nowadays with Cartoon Network to where things weren't like they once were the past is still there with the fans who grew up with those shows and the impact that Cartoon Network had on its viewers.
I completely agree, the shows have a huge impact and speaks volumes that they can all stand on their own rather then leaning on a mascot
Rn I think gumball is the mascot, for all their CN promotions or their HBO Max promotions it almost always shows Gumball
Completely fair, I had mentioned gumball but had to cut it. I had some RUclips copywrite issues
Ben 10, Toonami Tom, The Powerpuff Girl, Dexter's Lab, KND, Bugs Bunny, Grim adventures of billy & mandy shall i go on
That’s a lot of mascots lol
Honestly, I’ve always considered Dexter to be their mascot simply beacuse he paved the way for more original shows on Cartoon Network.
I ain’t mad at that, dexter earned his spot in CN history
Make a vídeo about why was UNLIKE Both Nickelodeon and Disney Channel: Cartoon network is MORE violent and darker when compared to the OTHER two?
That’s not a bad topic, I’ll think about it!
Wouldn’t Scooby Doo be considered a mascot given how his shows are often either reran or exclusive to the channel and how often he was used as a promotional tool up until the early 2000s? I remember he was made President of CN for a couple of years, he was in a lot of the commercial bumps that aired during ad breaks, and there was a contest that gave away a life sized build of him made entirely of Lego long before the company made official sets of Scooby and his friends.
I get why you’d say Scooby, but I didn’t include him because he existed long before the network did. I would say he represented boomerang more than Cartoon Network just like the other hannabarbara characters
In my eyes from when I grew up it was Finn from adventure time
Completely fair, I’m sure a lot of people feel that way
10:26 not related to the topics but that montage of random clips from each show with party tonight was banger
I appreciate this so much, I should’ve let the song keep playing lol
I think it's because CN wants to have different tone each decade Dexter Lab and Power Puff Girls started the 1st age and Adventure Time and Regular Show started the 2nd if it wasn't for different corporations buying Warner and Streaming age there probably be Cartoon setting up the tone 2020's at CN there all a catalyst to what's to come for there respective era
I completely agree, every different era of the network has its own unique style and tone that is identifiable to that time period. Each decade had its own culture but the 2020 era sadly won’t because streaming and such. Great observation
@@Childishju it's weird that CN canceled Toonami specially since the lineup kinda ironically fit the tone they end up going for in 2010's
@@HeySamus33Toonami still plays on Adult Swim on Saturday into Sunday nights though. What do you mean cancelled? It’s not what it used to be, for sure, I’m sad about it, too, especially when I returned to the block just to see what it’s like in 2020s, but it’s still there. They just aired Ninja Kamui as one of their exclusives that is later dropped on MAX.
There’s still a few familiar Toonami faces like Naruto and One Piece. Now DS as well. Then, there’s Lycoris Recoil and a few weird American looking animations I don’t recognize. It’s not what it was. Rip InuYasha’s 4:30am slot. It ends at only 2:30am-ish. Or was it 2am? It’s back to airing later than when MHA temporarily convinced the block to air earlier at like 9:30pm or 10pm. Still, Toonami still chugs along in 2024 just barely.
Sometimes the loss of tv era does seem a tragedy (even if tv and cable was a pain). We used to come together on so many shows that just doesn’t seem to happen as much anymore. It’s a shame the new gens may not experience that.
Like I said before this video was deleted.
Unless you count Warner Bros, which will be Bugs Bunny, I definitely agree with ya.
Sorry, RUclips had blocked it in certain places because of a clip I used so I had to edit it out really quick and reupload it but yeah I agree
Hmm maybe The Powerpuff Girls are the mascots of Cartoon Network and Disney Junior was Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Princess Sofia and Doc McStuffins
Disney junior has so many options, I’d say Mickey Mouse clubhouse personally
Man I love your content! You have amazing topics, please keep it up, I’m eating THIS UP!!!!
You’re the best shoogy! Always appreciate your support
@@Childishju much love!!❤️
I enjoyed this video, just some concrit, if you could isolate and make your voice clearer in the mix it would really make the videos cleaner!
I look forward to see what else you’ll put out
I genuinely appreciate your critiques, you’re completely right. My voice is very muffled in most of my videos but I have recently purchased a new microphone and I will be investing in new equipment and a laptop so I can raise the quality of my videos. Also I have to work on my line delivery as well, sometimes I feel like I’m flat when I speak. So there are definitely steps I need to take to better this channel. I appreciate your honesty, content will improve soon!
@@Childishju I think you’re doing a great job and I’ve learned a lot of info from your videos so I really appreciate the fact that you put your time and effort into this.
When I have some steady income I’ll definitely be throwing it your way, good luck with the new microphone and don’t worry, your delivery will get more comfortable the more you speak!
I personally like that you don’t sound like some cartoon commentators who go a little too far with their persona and voice.
Just watched your new video on rugrats, you’re killing it dude!
@@user-ki1xj5fl1i I really appreciate this, it means a lot. Probably the kindest and most helpful comments I’ve ever received. You’ve inspired me to make the best content of my abilities.
And don’t worry about giving any money I’m just glad to have entertained you at all :).
11:04 all of these projects besides Mixels since it was a CN and Lego collaboration didn’t get that much merch at the start
1000% agree, but oh my gosh I FORGOT ABOUT THE MIXELS
Considering how CN starting off as a rerun channel, it would make sense to have the mascot for the channel be either Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry or even Fred Flintstone, I can't consider the OG CN characters as mascots since they come and go
I can understand that take. Personally I don’t view bugs or Fred as the mascot because they existed way before Cartoon Network was thought of. I’d say bugs is Warner brothers mascot but not cartoon networks. Almost like how bugs is Warner brothers mascot but he isn’t the mascot of DC despite Warner brothers owning it. But I can understand choosing one of the classic characters:)
I’ve somehow never thought about why they don’t. Good points!
Thank you so much, it was something hadn’t considered either. I’m surprised no one’s ever made a video on it.
Actually cartoon network indulged a lot in adventure time, adventure time merchendise alone made over 400 million dollars, and mutiple movies were planned but cancelled
Yeah I downplayed it a bit, and I’m surprised to this day that they canceled the movies
I personally see Cartoon Network having a mascot shifting depending on the era, just like Playstation. For example:
1. Either Dexter or Space Ghost during the early 90s.
2. The Powerpuff Girls during the late 90s and early 2000s.
3. Ben 10 during the mid to late 2000s.
4. Finn and Jake during the early 2010s
5. The TTG since 2015
On side note, I would say this also somewhat applies to Adult Swim as well, just not as much as CN. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force trio were clearly the faces of Adult Swim throughout the 2000s, but since 2014 that position has been given to Rick and Morty.
Absolutely agree, yeah it’s interesting to see the mascot change with the era unlike Disney or Nick
The fact that there is a live action Regular Show ad is pretty damn cursed ngl lol.
Lmaooo truee
I’d say their mascot for a long time was
Ed Ed and considering before the 2010s, it was like the longest running Cartoon Network show
ben is such a cool character. i personally voted for gumball on the poll but thats just because when i think cn i think gumball, both are goated characters, but gumball just feels more "cartoon network" to me, or at least current cartoon network
Yeah gumball just seems like he’d be the face of the network over Ben despite Ben being such a cool character
@@Childishju you know with all of his powers hes on the case
In my opinion the mascot was and for me will always be Dexter, the mascot suited me better due to design issues and the legacy he left.
Completely fair, I can’t argue with that. Love dexter
Nice video
Thank you so much, I’m happy you enjoyed it:))
While I still want to create a flagship franchise, it would be nice to have variety to use just like Cartoon Network.
Ppg doesnt have a huge appeal either, yes its famous but its mostly targetted towards girls, definitely boys to but most boys like me are very embarrassed to watch it, thats why the ppg movie failed
Its finn and jake, everyone loves that show
I can’t completely argue with that. I think either are good options
I liked watching Cartoon Network with my kids I didn't know they was a mascot.
That’s so cool that you get to share it with your kids
The Powerpuff Girls Movie came out the same year as Jonah A VeggieTales Movie, which was also an adaptation of a children's cartoon series and a failure that cancelled projects.
Yeah neither movie got as much support from fans as they should have
I agree Powerpuff Girls should be the Cartoon Network mascot
Yeah I think the girls did enough to deserve it
Adventure Time and Steven Universe might’ve lost out on being later on in the tv era. When people were moving towards streaming more and leaving tv schedules behind. Still, later on, in the time of my young nieces, nephews, and young child cousins, it appeared Teen Titans Go had taken over the channel and become all that was aired kinda like SpongeBob eventually became.
Yeah streaming kinda changed the way people watched and definitely cut adventure time and Steven’s run short. And yeah your niece and nephew are technically right, teen titans go did take over the network lol
I'd also argue that Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak were the unofficial mascots of Cartoon Network during its golden era (1995-2003).
Think about it. Without Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, we wouldn't have the Cartoon Cartoons, Toonami, even Adult Swim.
Hey great point, I agree with you. These were very needed characters. But I dont think space ghost ever got the people behind him like some of the networks other options have
It’s Finn and Jake, they have 4 spin offs coming out rn
Yeah that answer makes a lot of sense
I agree with your take on PowerPuff girls being the mascot face of Cartoon Network however Ben 10 is still up there as the second face because when you really think about it, the franchise still to this day is being remembered fondly with TONS of RUclips fan videos, fan drawings, merchandise and reboots. For example when you go to the Cartoon Network hotel, they had a bunch of not just PowerPuff girls but also Ben 10 representations inside and outside along side adventure time to which have some representation for the brand.
I think they both have a big place in Cartoon Network history (p.s, I love me some booty O’s and hope Big E comes back soon)
@@Childishju Also I think that the reason why the PPG movie flunked in the box office was because it was released too soon while others such as men in black, hey Arnold the movie and the wild thornberrys movie was released prior in 2002 and that it should’ve released on a separate month to raise more box office stock.
@@Childishju Also I think the reason to why PPG movie flunked in the box office was because it was released too soon in the summer of 2002 due to men in black 2 and Hey Arnold the movie was released prior. Maybe if they had released the movie in later months it would’ve succeeded much larger.
@@Childishju thanks man I hope so too👍
8:35 Aw man I thought I deleted that awful period of my life!
In my opinion Space Ghost represents Cartoon Network and Adult Swim
He’s definitely in the running. He’s just not as popular as some of the others but he has been there since the start so I can’t argue that
Personally, I consider C and N as their mascots.
They were fun but where did they go, the channel stopped doing ads with them :(
@@Childishju I guess we’ll C them later TheN.
Nah, CN forced teen titans go to be the Mascot, even tho people didn’t want it.
No matter how you define mascot, you know if all three of the big ones are pulling up mafia style its gonna be Bugs, Mickey and SpongeBob holding the briefcases
Oh absolutely, those three run this town
Uhhhhhhhh….. I guess itz bloo of the 2000’s. I don’tknow, I seen him a lot. Along with his creator Mac, they were popular guys in the 2000’s and they hosted many summer related stuff at that time. :P
I love bloo, I should have mentioned him
what do you mean its bugs bunny, right? wasn’t the first cartoon they aired (Rhasphody Rabbit) a Bugs Bunny short?
Bugs isn’t a Cartoon Network original character
yeah we know, but doesn't WB own Looney Tunes, and Cartoon Network? also, The Looney Tunes Show is real
Good question, I would consider bugs more of a WB mascot as a whole. He represents the entire company but he was made far before Cartoon Network even existed so I don’t think he is the face of the network personally
They've had mascots, just not in the traditional sense. I'd say any main character from their flagship shows could count as a mascot (they essentially served as a unit of mascots in the Cartoon Cartoon era), though they had OCs to represent programming blocks more often than the whole network (TOM for Toonami, Erin and her alien friends for Miguzi, Pipoca and Henderson for Tickle U, the fat kid for Super Chunks), the Noods and Any Malu from CN Latin America are the only exceptions to that I've seen.
100% yeah I totally agree, I guess it’s up in the air. The noods were great but I guess they couldn’t last forever
SpongeBob is probably Nickelodeon's mascot, but Michigan J. Frog was absolutely The WB's or Kids WB good mascot lol.
Man I forgot that WB had a mascot
The powerpuff girls is returning in New comic this July in dynamite comics also we bare bears man it's cool see orginal cn shows get spotlight
Yeah I’m so excited! Im gonna make a video of that soon!
Cartoon Network doesn't have a mascot cause they always marketed their shows as a collective package rather the show is on their main channel Adult swim or boomerang rather through promos,The CN city or The Jingle Bell song commercial etc
I completely agree, not a bad take
I'm surprised Cartoon Network never really had a mascot.
Yeah it surprised me too because they’ve been around so long
Idk I think it's Looney Tunes and Powerpuff Girls
I can see that argument, the tunes existed long before the network was created that’s the only reason I didn’t include them
8:50 Honestly, it would have been better if Warner Media (owners of Cartoon Network and The CW) dumped the "CN Real" stuff to The CW 4Kids so Cartoon Network wouldn't have its purpose defeated and continue doing its own thing to be unique from the other cable networks. I mean, Kids' WB and The CW 4Kids didn't have enough live-action programming to begin with, but if that happened, these Warner Media-owned programming blocks would have a bigger and better variety. Even Bobb'e Says is perfect E/I material since it's like AFV, but with an educational twist.
I’m gonna make a CN real video one day and these ideas you have would have worked far better then what they did lol
My favorite show is always Powerpuff Girls and I love the video a lot more
That’s so sweet, thanks. I love the Powerpuff girls too and making videos about them is really fun! That’s why I’ve made so many
Make a vídeo about why Nickelodeon Disney Channel and Cartoon network Won't show and EVEN reprise certain specific shows? Right Man?
I agree, and I might do that lol.
@@Childishju okay!
@@Childishju and can you make a long vídeo about the Canonical age of EACH of the main Cartoon network Studios/Warner Bros animation protagonists?
They used to have a mascot back in the 2010s named C & N but they just disappeared.
Yeah they’ve had a lot of one off type mascots but none that ever stuck out like a Mickey or sponge boy me bob
I actually like the idea of having each decade era of CN having its own mascot. For 90s, I think The Powerpuff Girls would be a good fit. For the 2000s (as a whole), I would choose Ben 10, for the 2010s, I would pick Adventure Time, and for the 2020s I would choose Craig of the Creek.
Craig of the creek is a really good option, I really like that show
@@Childishju me too. And while the show came out in 2018, I’d argue that it really started to boost in popularity and honestly carried CN throughout most of the 2020/current decade. I know Teen Titans Go is a popular show on the network but I argue that it fits more in line with it being the mascot of DC/WB animation since teen titans (in general) is a dc property not a CN original.
@@xanderg.1070 completely agree
Im the only person that grew up with these, all of the others grew up with dafuqboom
I think a factor is the Mickey Mouse has been around since the 20s, and SpongeBob’s been running since ‘99, but no Cartoon Network show has that sort of immortality, even if the big 3 are still pop culture staples to this day
I agree, Cartoon Network shows are products of their time. Fantastic shows but not much staying power
When it comes to Hannah Barbara and Warner bros studios, I would say Bugs bunny and Scooby doo are the true Mount Rushmore of Cartoon Network.
Completely agree
Don’t forget PBS Kids! It’s a kid channel too! And they’re mascots is Arthur.
You’re completely right, I sometimes forget about pbs for some reason. Thanks for reminding me
They were pushing ben 10 alot back in the day, and adventure time throughout the 2010s, I always thought of dexter and the powerpuff girls as the mascots.
Yeah I would say that the four you named were the mascots of their time for sure
For me:
The Cartoon Network (Company): Rick And Morty or Powerpuff Girls
CN: Adventure Time or Powerpuff Girls
AS: Rick And Morty or Aqua Teens
Toonami: Tom and Sara
These are good picks, I didn’t even think about Toonami
I never even realized hot damn 😂😅
Lmaooo same
If they did have one of their characters as a mascot, who should be worthy of such a tittle?
I’d personally say Powerpuff girls
I'm glad they don't nickelodeon in particular became so obsessed with spongebob that if a show couldn't compete with it, a once in a blue moon huge success immediately than they kill it off quick
I completely agree and wish I would have mentioned that
Of course the cartoons didn't go head to head. They all lived in a city together.
Your absolutely right, the perfect community
what about regular show and gumball?
I mentioned them a little, they both are definitely in the running. I just think adventure embodied the era of the network more. Despite me liking regular show more
They had the Noods for a while
I really miss that
While all these are great candidates for the mascot of Cartoon Network, you missed 2 big ones that were there since the beginning, and has been rebooted many times as well:- Looney Tunes and Scobby Doo/Mystery Inc.
All fantastic choices but I was trying to to aim for characters that were created by the network. It’s my fault for not making that clear but these are still great choices!
The closest we'll ever get is Johnny Test or the Looney Tunes, and don't let the mascot be those Titans.
lol ur funny
@@mojjosstash7389 Your right
Johnny test? Hmmm I wouldn’t have considered him but it’s been really interesting hearing everyone’s opinions on who they think it would be
@@BKBLUEY no seriously ur hilarious, Johnny Test isn't even a CN original
Did we forgot the CN people as a mascot?
I miss those guys and have no clue why they disappeared
So Why is so diffcult to find the moxie show?
It’s lost media, but some of it is on RUclips.
@@Childishju let's make a Petition then!
Spongebob is definitely considered Nickelodeon's Channel Mascot but there a problem: Overxplotation of Series
Cartoon Network.
goodly that not use some of characters from his original series for being Channel Mascot and overexploted.
YES! I wish I would have touched on that, that’s such a good point
Adventure Time is the best show ever, I think if they had a mascot it would be either Finn or Jake because they both are the main characters of the show + they have the most iconic cartoon designs.
Interesting choice, I do think they are one of the most iconic cartoons from the network. (Ps, Fiona and Cake was incredible and I will be making a video eventually)
@@Childishju
Awe heck yeah!!! Fionna and cake is amazing. Will you also mention the wholesome relationship with Gary and Marshall? I love hearing people talk about them!
@@GaryCandyPrince they we’re probably my favorite part. Just frigging adorable. Of course they will be mentioned:)
Disney-Mickey Mouse
Nickelodeon-SpongeBob
Cartoon Network-(Just my opinion) Dexter or Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy
Completely fair, the Ed’s and dexter are both legendary
Sadly, it’s Teen Titans Go. If they’re airing your show more than 12 hours a day? You’re the mascot.
I see your logic but I wasn’t including teen titans go characters because CN doesn’t own the characters, they’re under the DC label. But you do have a really good point, they spam that show like crazy
I have grew up with Cartoon Network, and I love the amazing world of gumball
I love it too! Such a fun show
Ngl I didn’t hate CN Real. I actually enjoyed it.
I want to make a video on it, it’s not the worst thing ever. I admittedly have one or two shows on there that I really enjoy
tbh nickelodeon didnt have one either.... its only relatively recently that spongebob has kinda become that
i believe only nick jr had that one face thing for some time
Cn always was marketed as " a place for cartoons " so i dont think that would work if they had one
but since theyve made a hard shift and are kinda hanging on by a thread now ...ttg has become its spongebob and is probably
the thing id liken most to being a psudo mascot i guess
even tho i dont like it
Completely fair points, I’m not mad at this take
Cartoon Networks catalog is way too big for just one character to be the mascot of the channel
I completely agree
I don't want to say it, but i think the closest mascot we have rn are TT Go
The only reason I didn’t include them is because they are property of DC comics but I could see tgat
10:12 Wtf was that?
Nickelodeon Cemented Spongebob as their Mascot, while Disney has Mickey Mouse.
Correct :)
There was a time when it felt like Cow & Chicken were the face of the channel.
lol I did love me some cow and chicken but I wasn’t born when it was airing on the network. I watched it on boomerang as a kid. I personally preferred it over ren and stimpy
@@Childishju If you watch bumpers from around 1997 or 1998, you'll see what I mean. Cow & Chicken everywhere.
Honestly I would say the Powerpuff Girls are the perfect candidates
Yeah I agree
Hey, you never mentioned Teen Titans the good one not the bad one the good one
The only reason I didn’t mention them was the fact that they are dc characters, not Cartoon Network original characters. But I do love the show!
Disney and Nick don't really have mascots either. Disney used a Mickey shape, but not Mickey per-say. Nick has been a foot or splat for forever
But Spongebob tho
Those are more logos then mascots but I see where your going
Would Bugs Bunny be the mascot of Cartoon Network?
By the way, Cartoon Network is owned by Warner Brothers!
Great comment! I didn’t include bugs bunny or Scooby doo because they existed way before the network was even a thing. I’d say bugs is warners mascot and Scooby is bomerangs mascot. And yeah Cartoon Network is owned by turner broadcasting which is owned by Warner.
I thought the mascot for Cartoon Network was Gumball from The Amazing World of Gumball.
He’s definitely in the running!
