I remember that, as a kid, I didn't grasp the fact that some shows aren't serialized. Therefore, I had the idea that Bessie would get a badge every episode until the finale where she becomes The Mighty B. ... Instead it ended with Bessie gambling on Vegas.
This show meant so much to me as a little girl. I can't describe how comforting it felt to see a show where a girl was not only the main character, but was allowed to be weird, imaginative, and a total dork without it being seen as a loser by the show. Not only that but it was the first time I had ever seen a single mom in any movie/TV show that wasn't the result of a "tragic death" backstory, and me being raised by a single mom felt so seen. It just feels like a show that so fully understands that actual "nerd kid" experience that young girls can grow up with. Bessie also just feels like a real kid, more than any other show that came out at the time. When I was 9 and watching the show, I actually joined the girl scouts and got a sash when every other girl in my troop chose a vest, and started drawing a smiley face on my finger solely because of this show. I also was excited to have glasses, and when I got braces I asked the dentist if it would give me a lisp and got disappointed when he said no, and I got even more disappointed when he told me the braces would close the gap in my two front teeth (which made me look a little more like Bessie). Not only did I want to be like Bessie, but the show actually made me PROUD of so many things that kids are worried about because most other shows/movies used glasses, braces, and tooth gaps, to mock people. Even though most of the time, those are things that kids can't help having. Even though the show wasn't very successful, I'm glad it existed for me and other dorky little kids like me
The Mighty B was one of the first shows I remember seeing where tween-ish girl characters got to be gross and for that I’ll always admire it. Undiagnosed neurodivergent weirdgirl representation I didn’t know I needed as a kid!
yes!!!!!! its still the only girl oriented slapsticky show i can think of. do u rememeber the food mixing episode? it was RLY giving 2 autistic siblings clashing on opposite sides of the spectrum lol
I thought she was just a wacky cartoon. Then again, I thought Young Neil from Scott Pilgrim was autistic, but then he turned out to just be really dumb, so what do I know. I just have add so, eh.
@@pinkamenaxoxoI kinda remember that episode, I remember wondering what was wrong with mixing the food. Like, hows that even a conflict or a plot for an episode? Where they running out of ideas? Other than that, I dont really remember what else happened.
@@leeeroyjenkins555 Food touching is a pretty common ick, and not just for autistic people! I don’t experience it personally but the joke/idea of it still landed for me as like a “yeah, I get that 🤔”
I love that The Mighty B was pretty much a Ren and Stimpy spiritual successor, at least in terms of sharing crew members and similar art style. It's a huge inspiration for how I draw and animate, I'm glad that I'm finally seeing it get more love online
It’s like Nickelodeon decided to make their own John K./Spumco cartoon without John Kricfalusi(given how much he’s now known as a complete pedophile towards teenaged girls and controversial figure after his true actions came to light in 2018).
I'm not sure why Lynne Naylor designed some of the characters to look like rodents, but now I want to see fan art of Portia and her Mother as anthropomorphic chinchillas.
I really loved this show growing up , she was this hyper active tween who loved nature and came from a single parent household. Bessie felt so real and fun, I even wanted to be a Girl Scout as a result.
It was very weird seeing Penny be alongside Portia and Gwen torturing Bessie in some episodes, and then be Bessie's loyal bff on others. Like, girl get it together.
I had friends like that and this show made me and my friend talk about this dynamic. She told me she wanted to be my friend but she also wanted to fit in.
My mom. *LOVED.* The Mighty B. It’s one of those rare relics of my childhood that she still mentions unprompted from time to time to this day. Normally a cartoon like this wouldn’t appeal to her, but she loved Bessie, and the comedy was so sharp that it drew her in. (Maybe the fact that she was an ex-Girl Scout leader helped?) And I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little smug about the fact that she remembers it so fondly, because I know damn well that is *not* a universal opinion. 😂
I was always put off by The Mighty B for being so gross out and bizarre, but looking back it was pretty creative for its time in its design. I do love me some UPA.
"don't worry I'm takin off my shoes before I enter your miiiind" has been in my brain for YEARS my dad hated when I watched this show he thought Bessie's voice was so annoying. Too bad I loved it 😂
You’re the only review channel that doesn’t shit on a show for its low points. You make me want to watch this show because you show me what’s good about it.
I remember adoring this show as a kid because it was one of the few where the main character felt like an actual kid. She's a gremlin sometimes and overly analytical at others and fantasies about being a super hero. This cartoon is, in fact, super underrated for how endearing it can be.
I watched him until he started getting _even more_ unhinged. Like anti-mask rant unhinged (which was only the start, I would come to learn) What even was that man
No joke, Mighty B is one of my earliest cartoon memories, I think the only time I've actually caught it on TV was when I was maybe 2 years old, haven't seen it since.
The Mighty B! is such an underrated gem and I'm so happy with how close it is to The Ren and Stimpy Show without having any involvement from... y'know.😊
Between The Mighty B, Back at the Barnyard and post season 9 SpongeBob, it feels like comedy based Nicktoons are at their best with a healthy dosage of controlled chaos. The kind of chaos that’s best seen through memes and wild out of context clips
My sister and I were obsessed with this show. We’d specifically watch the one about Penny’s birthday over and over cause of the candy world. It looked so cool and I just found it sweet how they tried to make Penny happy.
I remember this show quite well. I loved Bessie’s character because she reminded me a little bit of myself, especially as a former Girl Scout and I’m a very hyperactive and imaginative person. 🐝
her weirdgirl swag is undeniable.also she looks so much like i did as a kid that watching it was almost uncanny...like EXACTLY like me for real the braids the teeth the glasses the blonde hair and her personality (although im not so type A...type B(ee)....) i never was a fan of the gross out or gross out in general but i mean, its super rare for a female driven show to have gross out at all so its definitely innovative in that respect. definitely a funny show either way and the designs make me crazy with how good they are
weird how this comes out when i was thinking about mighty b recently. i was thinking about that episode about happy's mom and remembering how someone at the school i went to saying that this was their favorite cartoon on a display about their animation final. it always surprised me because no one really talks about it much up until now
Maaaaan. I know comedy cartoons with funny animation still exist, but watching clips of this show is a breath of fresh air. These drawings are insane!!
The moment I saw the Might B again I remembered the Ren and Stimpy energy in its animation and art style. It never ceased to entertain visually, with a lot of the clips you highlighted getting a good chuckle out of me. Glad to see how well it still holds up!
Oh I LOVED The Mighty B as a kid!! I still think of it very fondly and I always think of that “Ben Appetite” episode when I separate OR mix my foods. It’s ingrained in my head lol
I watched this while it was airing, and I found it entertaining, a fun show with some funny visuals. I'm honestly surprised it virtually never gets brought up when talking about early 2000s media.
I remember watching this as a kid. eventually we moved away i grew up and forgot about it. i remember thinking about it one day 2 years ago and was convinced it was a fever dream because no one i knew even knew what i was talking about and i never saw it talked about online. then suddenly 2 years ago, i saw it ralked about all over online and it freaked me out but im at least relieved to know i didnt dream it
I’m honestly so mad I never had Nicktoons growing up (Only the rich kids could afford it in my country) bc I would’ve been the perfect age for it when it debuted, and seeing this as an adult I KNOW that tween me would’ve been obsessed with this and projected so hard onto Bessie
I remember this also being the first Nicktoon I saw during its premiere. I watched this alongside season 6 of Fairly Oddparents and reruns of Jimmy Neutron, Teenage Robot and El Tigre when I was 6 back in 2008. I believe I was a little caught off guard for the weirder scenes as a kid but I ever got scared of them. I was more creeped out by Flapjacks weird close up scenes when watching CN promos as a kid
You know I adored this show as a kid, big nostalgia. . . …but then I found out it got greenlit over The Modifyers (WHICH HAS AN AMAZING PILOT BTW ON RUclips) And I’ve just never looked at it in the same way…still like it enough.
As someone who enjoyed Duncanville and also only watch a handful of Mighty B episodes, this video made me realize that Mighty B has what I like about Duncanville, but times 10. Having a seemingly grounded world with the most absurdist jokes, characters, and scenarios. But, Mighty B embraces this, while Duncanville was a little more reserved and had a good chunk of non-absurd episodes (especially season 1).
I love the mighty B. in a time where many of my favorite cartoons in Nick, CN and Disney were finishing or cancelled, this was always one of my go to especially when Spongebob output (Seasons 5 through 7) were not that great. It a bummer it lasted so little, especially when it finally got its groove on season 2. the seasons finales with the fireflies and the stuffed bear always come to mind when remembering it. it may never comeback but I'll always cheerish the manic and earnest energy it brought.
Omg I've literally been obsessed with this tv show it was my all time favorite, and ive always tried looking for it but could never watch all the episodes 😭😭😭 u til i got paramount and finally was able to watch it
I remember seeing one episode of this when I was probably 12(2015ish), which would’ve been after it was off the air. I’m surprised I didn’t catch it when it was airing, I definitely would’ve been the target demographic and we had both Nickelodeon and Nicktoons.
Gooosh, now I wanna revisit this show too... ;u; So fun, so bizarre, et cetra et cetra, meeeeeep. Nice retrospective! I enjoyed the various bits of humor sprinkled around through the script, hand-picked clips from the show, and the editing. The iCarly transition after Dan Schneider was mentioned was especially funny, aaaaaaaaaaaa :P
I've been meaning to rewatch this show for some time, having very fond memories of S1 and also missed out on most of season 2, and your video has only doubly convinced me to. Banger video.
Thank you for steering people towards the works of Jean-Jacques Perrey, his music might not be as innovative today as it once was but it's sound remains unique and inspiring. Great video about a cartoon I thought was just a fuzzy memory!
Ok. I'm too early to comment. Heres my opinion. The mighty B is truly a mighty entertaining cartoon. It has truly earned its title. To the art and Writing. I wonder if there was a planned season 3, would it had been story driven
I’ve never actually watched this show but I’ve seen multiple clips from it that are way too funny. This video honestly convinced me to go ahead and watch it. Definitely going towards the top of the to do list when it comes to new shows.
22:06 so in short, its the mighty b's version of fancy schmancy from season 10 fop; a nice little episode about the friendship anniversary of the main characters
I always loved this show and still has a special place in me and my family's hearts. I've always been a huge Amy Poehler (and Kenan Thompson) fan so that is an added bonus for me. The art style has always reminded me of both Ren & Stimpy and SpongeBob.
For some reason, I expected you to review this cartoon. It is quite possibly the best SpongeBob/Ren & Stimpy ripoff I’ve ever seen. In all seriousness, the show’s pretty good and I didn’t realize it when it was still airing new episodes, but it was probably the last cartoon I ever saw (for a while until Modern SpongeBob and Middlemost Post I guess) that felt cartoony and exaggerated. Hopefully some of the people that worked on this are working on the new Ren & Stimpy reboot. Because even if that upcoming reboot doesn’t turn out to be perfect writing wise, brilliant art direction and animation could really spice it up. I realize I just described the OG Ren & Stimpy show and a TEASPOON of Adult Party’s rare good qualities, but I think my point still stands. XD
I know it’s a cartoon and there’s no way for this to be true but I like to think Bessy is just a young Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec, her overachieving nature kinda helps as well as being played by the same actor as well
Oh man, I've never heard someone talking (in a good way) about this cartoon. I loved Mighty B when I was a child and I remember how my older sister bullied me for watching it And yeah, that show has a huge Ren and Stimpy energy, maybe that was one of the reasons why I liked it🤔 Unfortunately, in Latin America the show was totally ignored so maybe I've never seen the 2nd season. I need to rewatch it... someday
Fun fact: in Latin America the remaining 13 episodes and 24 segments were released before the United States, ending the series 7 months earlier on November 6, 2010, while in the United States the series ended on June 12, 2011.
I remember REALLY enjoying this show as a kid, to the point where I bought a few episodes to watch on my iPod Nano. Like some things in my life I eventually grew out of it prior to the Dragonflies season finale, but judging by this video I missed out on a GOLDMINE of quality material afterwards. Maybe I should revisit it sometime
I was actually rewatching this show when I used to have a paramount+. So much nostalgia bc I loved the show as a kid and I love it now as an adult. I wish they'd have certain times where they played old Nick toons on Nickelodeon!
Nickelodeon is uniquely good at making cartoon shows with good female main characters, usually they’re shite especially now, but from The Mighty B to My Life As A Teenage Robot they’re GOATs
I always considered Mighty B as one of the most underrated nicktoons and one of my favorites. I remember watching Parks and Rec I always thought of Leslie Knope as a grownup Bessie
I remember this show premiering, I can’t believe it’s been that long! I’m a sucker for chaotic shows and this one was one of my favorites! The episode that really got to me though was Body Rockers, I’ve always had a weird feeling when it came to episodes that take place in the human body (which is ironic since my special interest is Osmosis Jones) but something about the thought of tiny humans in my bloodstream made me gag and that episode was no exception, even though it was just a museum exhibit in canon. It just weirds me out but the visuals for that episode were really good! I loved the gross out shots 😂
OMG OMG OMG! I have seen this and watch this video with Snoopy Smoke and Black Peter Griffin on RUclips and it was awesome! I love The Mighty B!, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Spongebob Squarepants, Daniel Radcliffe being The Mighty B! fan, Amy Poehler and the music playing in the background! I have been binge watching this since 2019! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It feels logical
I heard about that over the news but I never knew there was a video of him saying it
Well, being cool with Harry since birth, I know now these cartoons we have in common!
Harry Potter and Bessie Higginbottom can relate a lot.

Thank you for mentioning Ren and Stimpy, also I wish you would talked about short/pilot that premiered before the show

Thank you for steering people towards the works of Jean-Jacques Perrey, his music might not be as innovative today as it once was but it's sound remains unique and inspiring.
Great video about a cartoon I thought was just a fuzzy memory!
Do you know the name of the music he made?
Omg i love that you made this video i use to love watching the mighty bee growing up
Ok. I'm too early to comment. Heres my opinion. The mighty B is truly a mighty entertaining cartoon. It has truly earned its title. To the art and Writing. I wonder if there was a planned season 3, would it had been story driven
It's one of my favorite Nick shows lol
@@kingmagikarp97so true.
I loved this show sm!!! i have been WAITING for more youtubers to talk about it!!!
I love that this video is 4:3. Every video I make will be 4:3 once I animate
me too
I loved the Mighty B! One of the most memorable and craziest Nick shows that I’ve watched!! 💗💖
I’ve never actually watched this show but I’ve seen multiple clips from it that are way too funny. This video honestly convinced me to go ahead and watch it. Definitely going towards the top of the to do list when it comes to new shows.
22:06 so in short, its the mighty b's version of fancy schmancy from season 10 fop; a nice little episode about the friendship anniversary of the main characters
I always loved this show and still has a special place in me and my family's hearts. I've always been a huge Amy Poehler (and Kenan Thompson) fan so that is an added bonus for me. The art style has always reminded me of both Ren & Stimpy and SpongeBob.
That clip at the beginning was so surreal that i still can't believe it
I loved mighty b growing up and today I found a dvd at the thrift. so this video is very on theme 😂
For some reason, I expected you to review this cartoon. It is quite possibly the best SpongeBob/Ren & Stimpy ripoff I’ve ever seen.
In all seriousness, the show’s pretty good and I didn’t realize it when it was still airing new episodes, but it was probably the last cartoon I ever saw (for a while until Modern SpongeBob and Middlemost Post I guess) that felt cartoony and exaggerated. Hopefully some of the people that worked on this are working on the new Ren & Stimpy reboot. Because even if that upcoming reboot doesn’t turn out to be perfect writing wise, brilliant art direction and animation could really spice it up. I realize I just described the OG Ren & Stimpy show and a TEASPOON of Adult Party’s rare good qualities, but I think my point still stands. XD
Dunno about THAT, Chowder probably takes that honor. It's the closest any show had to that spirit, this is more of Ren and Stimpy.
I know it’s a cartoon and there’s no way for this to be true but I like to think Bessy is just a young Leslie Knope from Parks & Rec, her overachieving nature kinda helps as well as being played by the same actor as well
Thank God other people remember this show. "Running with the rainbow unicorn" has been stuck in my head since that episode's release lol
As someone with autism the Ben Appetite episode really made me feel heard
I had a ratatouille moment watching this. Apparently it was enough of a core memory that I was remembering the clips shown.
This show's energy and writing kinda reminds me of a late 2000s version of It's Pony, but with much higher energy lol.
I love It's Pony.
I'm disappointed that It's Pony didn't get much talk and was purged to Nicktoons.
The SpongeBob being real bit ended my life and earned you a sub
Oh man, I've never heard someone talking (in a good way) about this cartoon. I loved Mighty B when I was a child and I remember how my older sister bullied me for watching it
And yeah, that show has a huge Ren and Stimpy energy, maybe that was one of the reasons why I liked it🤔
Unfortunately, in Latin America the show was totally ignored so maybe I've never seen the 2nd season. I need to rewatch it... someday
It never got a 3rd season, it ended at 2.
@@TheKingPrawn24 Oh yeah right, I meant season two, I think I got a little confused 😅
Fun fact: in Latin America the remaining 13 episodes and 24 segments were released before the United States, ending the series 7 months earlier on November 6, 2010, while in the United States the series ended on June 12, 2011.
as a child the episode where they went to some taffy factory the gross humor in that episode really messed me up
The Harrison Ford M&M-sona is even scarier than the Micheal Bay one.
I remember REALLY enjoying this show as a kid, to the point where I bought a few episodes to watch on my iPod Nano.
Like some things in my life I eventually grew out of it prior to the Dragonflies season finale, but judging by this video I missed out on a GOLDMINE of quality material afterwards. Maybe I should revisit it sometime
I remember this cartoon feeling like it was what adults wanted children to find funny, but actually wasn’t funny to children.
It’s a fiercely underrated show.
I was actually rewatching this show when I used to have a paramount+. So much nostalgia bc I loved the show as a kid and I love it now as an adult. I wish they'd have certain times where they played old Nick toons on Nickelodeon!
My cousin always thought I was making this show up lmfao, since it never came on during the day in our country
Nickelodeon is uniquely good at making cartoon shows with good female main characters, usually they’re shite especially now, but from The Mighty B to My Life As A Teenage Robot they’re GOATs
One of my favourites hahaha
Idk why but I’ve always loved spastic cartoons like this, reminds me of old internet vids
I always considered Mighty B as one of the most underrated nicktoons and one of my favorites.
I remember watching Parks and Rec I always thought of Leslie Knope as a grownup Bessie
I remember this show premiering, I can’t believe it’s been that long! I’m a sucker for chaotic shows and this one was one of my favorites! The episode that really got to me though was Body Rockers, I’ve always had a weird feeling when it came to episodes that take place in the human body (which is ironic since my special interest is Osmosis Jones) but something about the thought of tiny humans in my bloodstream made me gag and that episode was no exception, even though it was just a museum exhibit in canon. It just weirds me out but the visuals for that episode were really good! I loved the gross out shots 😂
This show was a fever dream to me, mostly because I watched a few episodes from my xbox 360 I think on netflix back in the day when they were new.
This show deserved better, i loved watching it and was so sad when it stopped airing.
OMG OMG OMG! I have seen this and watch this video with Snoopy Smoke and Black Peter Griffin on RUclips and it was awesome! I love The Mighty B!, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Spongebob Squarepants, Daniel Radcliffe being The Mighty B! fan, Amy Poehler and the music playing in the background! I have been binge watching this since 2019! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
