Man thank you !!!!! I’m 41 years old and nobody ever knows what I’m talking about when I bring up the maxx I loved it
The thumbnail alone got me, loved maxx
The Maxx was such a great show. Beautiful animation and deep story. It's a shame it didn't last longer.
I have the entire run of the original comic book. I remember being pissed no always able to see the show on mtv
The max was dark. Max is the personification of the dead rabbit 🐇 that’s under the girls bed. The outback where “the rabbit” max protects the queen the child. Is disassociation while the man has his way with the child. It’s hardly appropriate to turn into a movie.
That was the shit for real
Hearing Jim Carrey refereed to as James Carrey, while technically correct, sounds so extremely wrong.
It was meant to be a nod to his In Living Color days
@@TheReviewStudios Fair enough, having never watched it I guess it was just a reference that went over my head.
@@TheReviewStudios i remember being so confused as a kid after knowing his as jim carrey, to see him listed as james on in living color
Like when I heard someone say William Neeson. Sounded so wrong
If I m not mistaken Carrey was also credited as James in his early movie's (once bitten deadpool/dirty harty 4)
I loved 2 stupid dogs as a kid. My favorite is when the little dog went across the world looking for his bone and it was on his head the whole time lol.
The most memorable episode for me was the one where Little Dog was obsessed with his ball, he goes through a lot to get it before accidentally swallowing Big Dog. Little Dog is frustrated at that point, exclaiming “Balls stink!”, while Big Dog responds “I agree.” with his silhouette inside Little Dog showing his nose is positioned between Little Dogs legs. 🤣
I want the toilet seat. - Little Dog
The little dog trying to wake up the big dog without disturbing him continues to influence my life to this day
Bone bone
I just remembered the guy screaming "awe that's cute....but it's wrong!" All the time
Also, 'The Maxx' actually has a pretty dedicated fan-following, and there were even talks of reviving the show for streaming a couple years ago...! =)
One of the best parts of the 90's. I am THE MAXX!
@@GimmeJimmy23 =)
It's also a comic book
@@TriariusMetzer I know. They mentioned that. =)
@@BuckarooBanzai84 true but the comic has far more issues then specified in the video. It even had trading cards. I do agree it was a short run cartoon but it has more issues then 4 in the video. The comic continued during and after the show stopped airing. Adding this Incase people are interested in finding more content about it. I miss the Maxx I did buy the full season it had on DVD.
Brothers Grunt, Maxx and The Head were the trinity of crazyass MTV cartoons.
The guy who made the brothers grunt is the creator of Ed Edd n Eddy
Maxx was awesome I remember liquid TV Aeon Flux by Peter Chung the same guy that did Rugrats.
@@Projectmayhem82 It's a shame that MTV's Oddities didn't last longer. I started watching during The Head and stopped watching with Aeon Flux, because it was just too weird for me to really follow/get into. The Max was awesome and one of these days, I need to get a copy for myself.
Thanks completely forgot The Head. Brb.
ÆON FLUX too
I remember when a lot of these cartoons came out and they usually aired when many of the kids were still in school or just when school was getting out. It's no wonder the ratings weren't good when most of your target audience isn't even able to watch them.
I think the only target audience for these were stonners, hilbillies and mutants and they don't go to school nor were the majority ...
I mean I get what you are saying but still makes no sense considering how idiotic these were.
In my case there was just one friend who liked 2SD and nobody else including myself. By that time I even quit watching Cartoon Network and watched rather movies or anime as a pass time before bed.
Come to think of it, the only reason why I watched CN years later was bcs of Ed Edd n Eddy, not sure if there was anything else worth my time. Even those I watched with few friends and a girlfriend at the time never bothered to watch it alone.
"Well in't that cute... BUT IT'S WROOONG!!!"
"STILL WRONG!!!😂😂😂
Who did you like better, Hollywood or The Red Guy from Cow & Chicken?
Not wrong anymore!!!
Man I still say that to this day lol.
UNION BREAAAKKKK
The Maxx was the show that aired past my bedtime that I'd always sneak to the living room to try to catch. I had the early comics, so it was a trip watching the show.
Pirates of Dark Water is another cartoon that ended before it could finish, though it was made in 1991 so I can see why it wasn’t on this particular list. It was episodic, had a unique premise for a show about pirates and seemed ahead of its time in terms of story telling. I believe it only had 1 or 2 seasons but clearly ended early because the group were after a series of crystals that purified the Dark Water and only found about half of them before the show ended.
But remember, if you're producing dark waters, you should go see a doctor
The Maxx was not only not a four-issue miniseries, it published way more than just one issue. There were 35, in fact. All excellent, as was the animated adaptation.
I love the secret Squirrel reboot segments on 2 Stupid Dogs, I wish they made a show for it.
"But it's Wrong!" Lives rent free in my head.
Miracko Mole is a name that’s hard to forget.
"But it's WRONG!" I still think of that when I see stupid stuff or hear a fog horn.
My mom banned me from watching 2 Stupid Dogs because I tried making spit soup once after watching the Spit Soup episode.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂 thats brilliant 😂😂😂😂
She should ban you off the internet too.
And that is why we have them.
@@copykat829 Bitch, my mom has been dead for like a decade and a half.
2 Stupid Dogs was a sleeper! So underrated. Also the Secret Squirrel segment was a nice touch.
Brothers Grunt graduating from Liquid Television & mtv bumpers was a head scratcher
Stick Theater.
Without 2 Stupid Dogs, there would be no one left to tell us that Cartoon Network is 24 hours, and they'll never go sour! Its toons! What a boon.
I remember seeing it on cartoon network in the early 2000s!
@@samanthamarkle6923 Yeah it was a revival of sorts. It aired in-between other shows at night times or soon to be night hours. But then again I remember times when for some reason they sneak some episodes in during day time too. Was weird. Pretty much a filler no one asked for. Nobody I know watched it just one friend liked it for some bits and pieces. Like that fat dude yelling "it's cute but it's wrong" along those lines ... he found it funny, nobody else including myself found any of it funny nor interesting, if anything it insulted my inteligence I couldn't believe what kind of trash can air on TV ... which later pretty much became a norm at one point
2 Stupid dogs is literally part of my formative memories!! I remember watching it when I was a weeeeeeeee little kid
Well isn't that cute.
BUT IT'S WRONG
Hard to believe in those days that CN was ok with 2 stupid dogs going to a strip club and showing it to kids.
Formative Memories! I like that description.
I’m with you. It came out when I was in kindergarten and I remember that theme like it was yesterday. And also the “No, I beat up the cat” argument.
I forgot all about that show, I was born in 90 so I had to be 5 or younger
I love The Maxx full stop
All episodes available on the internet archive
@@TheReviewStudios There's also the DVD set.
@@TheReviewStudios yep, I have re-watched them multiple times 💯
One really weird but immensely cool show you should discuss is 1994's kid's show ReBoot. One of the first fully computer animated TV series, it is set inside a digital universe existing within a computer. Lots of computer puns and alliteration, the city that the main characters live in is called Mainframe, the hero is Bob, but the two supporting characters are Dot Matrix and Enzo Matrix. The primary antagonists are Megabyte and his sister Hexadecimal. That show was way ahead of its time.
I use to love that show
Reboot sucked... Ugly ass cartoon
I watched these shows back in the day. The 90s was magical.
I watched The Maxx when it premiered but didn't understand it untill I was older. Really good though dark once you understand it.
Yes for sure
@@TheReviewStudiosI enjoyed maxx 2 stupid dogs batman/superman and ultra force when they were on tv ❤
Read the comics, it gets darker.
Anyone remember Eion Flux?
Morocco 🇲🇦 Mole!!
Darkstalkers also got an Anime at one point called Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge.
Awesome
@@TheReviewStudiossadly it wasn't that good 😅 but with really good animation.
The anime version of Darkstalkers is amazing and definitely worth a watch
absolutely love the maxx, I keep my comics packed away lol some other forgotten cartoons-
stressed eric, spicy city, spawn cartoon, mtvs-downtown
Completely forgot about The Maxx and how I loved it as a kid. Old memory unlocked
Man, Ultraforce was one of those shows that I absolutely loved and most people didn't believe it even existed! It took me so long to be able to figure out what it was based on sparse memories of the characters.
It was basically low-key cancelled not for poor ratings, but for objections over the content. Not only did the show focus heavily on more mature themes of psychological trauma (a recurring theme), it came out at the exact same time that there was a massive push against violent programming targeted at kids. This was a real double-whammy, and it was cancelled immediately and entirely due to unlucky timing with its release.
Sadly, this also pretty much killed any chance for Malibu comics to survive, as this series was absolutely outstanding (as in, it REALLY stood out) and would have garnered a lot of interest. Except it could have been the highest rated show on earth and it still would've been cancelled at that time.
I vaguely remember having a couple of the comics and, if I remember correctly, the were quite violent - more Image than Marvel. Seems an odd thing to try to target to children
@@mattd1659 It was a comic book cartoon series in the 90s. Of course it was marketed to kids.
The violence was still there, but it was all very PG. Any gore is white-washed with technicolor blood and most of it is the classic technique of putting black marks to indicate damage has occurred on an otherwise unharmed character.
Two stupid dogs was amazing.
They were so cute. But they were Wrong!
And it had the best version of Secret Squirrel, no question.
I literally grew up watching EVERY single one of these shows., The Maxx was exceptionally brilliant., I have the complete series on DVD.,,.
💯💯💯
The Maxx was completed. Very cool show, we got it here in Austrlia so was funny with the Outback being all weird and crazy...
2 Stupid Dogs was used on the Cable Channrl for up to a year to advertise the "comming soon" Cartoon Network. They would play entire episodes in the upper half of the screen. The second half of the show was The New Secret Squirrel, which honestly deserved its own spin-off.
FCC: We think Beavis and Butthead is too violent and raunchy!
MTV: (Releases the Brothers Grunt)
FCC: We're sorry...
I'm thinking they did that on purpose
The Maxx was awesome. I remember watching that on MTV when it was still cool.
2 stupid dogs was great and one my favorites as kid
The Maxx and The Head were two of my favourites growing up! I will definitely have to look them up and watch whatever I can find!
There's an obscure 90s cartoons I will never forget. "Beast Wars" was the Transformer storyline, but the robots were prehistoric creatures like gorillas & dinosaurs. It was "3D" and the computer graphics were STUNNING at the time....and laughable now.
One of my favorites.
Who doesn't remember Beast Wars?? Every 90s kid watched or at least heard of that one lol
@brookswilliams5239 I honestly had no idea it was popular. Anytime I ask people about it they're like "Transformers with animals? Nah."
@SwizzleStickMcGee Lol! For real? Man that's hilarious 😂
Oh, yea, I remember the ridiculous fun of Beast wars haha
I would love to see a video on the short lived and forgotten cartoons from 1998 including the short lived Saban animated series, The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs!
Funny that you posted this the day after I came across The Maxx on that one website, and bookmark it. Let's see, besides The Maxx, knew about 2 Stupid Dog, The Brothers Grunt, and Dumb and Dumber, mostly due to, you guessed it, dad's old VHS Tapes. And Darkstalkers, I know about the video game, mostly due to MAME, but didn't know there was a series. However, between that website and RUclips, was able to find all 10 of these to check out. Thank you so very much for this video, did enjoy it.
Born in 92 and I remember watching 2 stupid dogs. The theme song is burned into my mind
I thought I had watched every 90's cartoon as a kid, but I'm only now learning there was a Darkstalkers cartoon? The MAXX is one of my favorites, never going to forget that scene with Mr. Gone's head near the end. That image is burned in my memory.
I feel Darkstalkers is a massive missed opportunity.
Like, had they gone the Batman the Animated Series way, of having episodic adventures, with the odd two or three parter story and a bit of pathos to the characters, it could have been a hit.
Or gargoyles...
It should be an anime. Not whatever the F that was ... When I got the games I thought it's from an anime and never could find it, turns out it never even existed ...
@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy I think something halfway between anime and western animation would be fine.
Like, lets face it, a Bruce Tim styled Dimitri would fuck pretty hard.
I was a big Maxx/Sam Keith fan and anxiously awaited the debut of this show. Mixed bag just like the comics lol. Still loved it
I have strong nostalgia for weird 90s cartoons like The Maxx (and The Head.)
I'm going to need to rewatch it though, as I didn't properly understand it as a kid.
I was a huge fan of The Maxx as a teen. Had all the comics too. MTV was what Cartoon Network wishes it was back then. So much good stuff. I miss old, edgy MTV. Aeon Flux was misused as an IP, sadly.
Liquid Television was pretty great
Thank you for the compliment. I was the supervising sound editor on Darkstalkers, so It was nice that you thought it sounded great.
That's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
I still have my VHS of The Maxx. A while back I picked up the McFarlane Spawn series figure of the Maxx from our local comic book shop, the Comic Monstore. Imagine my joy when I was in the same store and found IDW comics doing the series…
Batman/The Maxx: Arkham Dreams
Fantastic! ✌️😎
This has got to be the best year for short run toons, most of these shows were great!
I've been making playlists based upon your videos. I've long forgotten many of these great shows.
Awesome thanks
Man, I loved loved LOVED 2 Stupid Dogs!
Shockingly, "Space Strikers" was aired on Malaysian TV when I was a teenager & I watched the entire series till the end. I kinda enjoyed it.
Maxx is definitely one of the greatest "weird" shows ever made. What's funny is I tried to read the comics and the show is better in every way. Not sure I've ever seen that happen!
I still own some The Maxx comics. While the show is good, I don't think the show **could** cover some topics handled in the comics. I recall feeling very disturbed when reading Maxx. If I recall, he was recovering from childhood molestation or something.
@@mosaton I feel like EVERYONE in the comic was trying to recover from that. It was, umm, not a fun read
I've got The Maxx dvd & comic book. It's a classic.
The Maxx was amazing. I made sure to video tape each episode as it premiered (I was a big Image comics nerd back then) and rewatched them into infinity. I straight up bawled my eyes out during the last episode and I’m not sure I ever really recovered from that
I still have all The Maxx episodes on VHS and the comic books. I absolutely loved The Maxx!
This channel never fails to give me crazy flash backs! I loved baby Huey show also I was like 6 lmao
Never really understood the weird trend of trying to turn mature-themed material into kids' shows (Mortal Kombat, Rambo, Robocop, Darkstalkers). Darkstalkers could have been good if they had stuck to the actual lore of the videogame. And if it didn't look like it was ordered from Wish.
Darkstalkers dose have a 4ep ova anime if that helps. The end dose go a bit deep through.
Mostly because they like money and it's a way of getting the kids interested in the media for when they are old enough. But, really, the amount of compromises needed to make that work tends to mean the result isn't particularly satisfying.
Ha ha ha! Wish.
2 Stupid Dogs was so good! Another similar one from around the same time was Cow and Chicken. I’m not sure it qualifies as forgotten, but the only person I know that ever watched it is my wife and it is because I made her watch it 😂. I loved the Max comics, and I enjoyed the cartoon when I saw it, but it seems like it came on at random times so I know I missed many of them. Space Strikers seems really cool - I had never heard of it, but I’m going to find episodes to watch. Thanks for posting this video!
I seem to recall 2 Stupid Dogs on Cartoon Network and not PBS. Which I do fondly remember watching back then as a kid.
Great vid. I used to watch 2 stupid dogs. I remember Space Strikers from its opening. I also watched Ultraforce, Batman/Superman adventures and I briefly caught an episode of Darkstalkers. I had heard of The Maxx but I hadn't seen it until much recently when I got the dvd set.
2 stupid dogs, the maxx, and ultra force, remember them vividly. Was pissed in the 3rd grade when ultra force just dissapeared. Told my classmates about it and they liked it. Had the action figure and all.
Dude...thank you! Throughout my life I have randomly brought up The Brothers Grunt to people. And literally nobody ever remembered it. I started thinking maybe I made it up in a fever dream. Lol
Space Strikers was like Dino Saucer's spiritual successor in my childhood, Loved the MaXX too and the Darkstalkers hate is crazy, I loved it lol
Dino Saucers!!!!!! 😍
I absolutely LOVED Two Stupid Dogs!!
God the Brother's Grunt. What a weird show. I remember the music videos segments being different too, like Love and Rockets and Devo in the mid 90s.
I remember Space Strykers vaguely. I actually had a hard time finding it because I couldn't remember the dub name all I could remember was the ship was called the Nautilus and that surprisingly didn't narrow it down.
I remember these cartoons and I will miss them
I got The Maxx on DVD from Amazon. I'd never heard of it, but a friend recommended it. Good stuff. Hadn't heard of any of the others.
You have a good friend. Thanks for sharing
Moxy looks like he could show up on Amazing Digital Circus
Min. 07:34 Oh boy! SpaceStrikers that's how it was named... From the depths of my memory you have brought to light once more a memory I didn't remember I had about it. It remembers me of Xyber 9....
Ultraforce is another deep memory brought to life once again.. The thing is I saw these series in TV in Costa Rica in my childhood, but I don't remember what was the title then...
Two Stupid Dogs is an absolute classic. So is Secret Squirrel that was a part of it.
Liquid Television was wild. Back when MTV had some really awesome programs. My older sister loved the Maxx comic by Sam Kieth, so she obviously Loved the show as well.
Experimental nature means a lot of lost media.
I loved 2 Stupid Dogs. That was when I first got cable, but it was on Cartoon Network.
2 Stupid Dogs is how I discovered Cartoon Network. Miss the era of "Cartoon Cartoons!"
Maxx and Aeon Flux were reasons to watch MTV back in the day
The Head was awesome, and don't forget about The State. Those guys are awesome.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade I love The State, I'd dip my BALLLS in it!
The Maxx is my favorite comic of all time. My game roon is full of Max figures and one Maxx painting.
Kudos for the words about the Maxx, greatly appreciated!!
I was so happy to find the full series free online
Darkwing Duck, Inspector Gadget, Chip n Dale, Tiny Toons Adventures, Animaniacs, Beetlejuice, Mario Br6is and Zelda, TMNT, Dino Riders, GI Joe, X Men, Tales Spin, Ducktales, The Tick, Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Agh! Real Monsters, soooo many brilliant cartoons I experienced and had zero clue how amazing i had it until now, RIGHT NOW! Nah ince my daughter was born and had to experience 2013 to current crap did i realize the difference in quality first off, and then how much our cartoons had alot if adult content lol.
I forgot about The Maxx and UltraForce! I used to love those shows! I’m gonna have to look for and watch those two.
I saw The Maxx when I was a kid and for some reason was instantly obsessed with it. I got into the comic books, which I was amazed to find selling, of all places, at Meijer. I used to draw my own comics that were clearly inspired by The Maxx, or at least my 10 year old understanding of it. Its adult themes went way over my head, I just thought it was so bizarre and funny, but also cool and dark. It's always held a special place in my heart.
I loved Two Stupid Dogs. I used to watch it before I got on the school bus. It wasn't until decades later that I found out Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy/America Dad) worked on Two Stupid Dogs....and Johnnie Bravo, Cow & Chicken, Dexter's Lab etc. etc.
The maxx. Holy shit! That just woke something in my mind. I remember being in awe of what i was watching.
2 Stupid Dogs was legit one of the only cartoons as a kid that made me crack up 😂
Hilarious
A+ video!
Awesome shows and video!
I had to buy the comics to find out how The Maxx ended. Avant Garde adult animation was truly Peak MTV.
We prefer to forget shows like Brothers Grunt, Ren & Stimpy Adult Party, & Wacky Wotld of Tex Avery.
Definitely
Man, I remember 2 Stupid Dogs, The Brothers Grunt, and The Maxx
Man, I loved 2 Stupid Dogs. Still do. I remember watching reruns before school in the late 90s.
I was kind of a 2 Stupid Dogs fan back in the day. I remember having at least heard of a few of the others, but 2SD was the only one I remember actually watching.
Omg space strikers! Yes this was the series I been trying to remember name of the series for the longest but no one in asked knew the series. Thank you! A lot of 90 and early 2000s action cartoon that were short lived. Though I don't remember it having 3d but it has been a good while since I saw it.
The Maxx rules. and Baby Huey ahahaha haven't thought about that in forever.
The only one I watched of these was The Maxx. In fact, I watched it multiple times, and this video has really made me want to go watch it again.
Do it 😆
The "Maxx" could stand a reboot! Here, take mah F'ing money!!!
The Maxx was so good. By far the best show on Oddities. I watched every single episode end to end and it is mind bendingly good.
Wasn't The Head the only other show on Oddities?
@@JeffCirillo Brother's Grunt, Aeon Flux, Celebrity Deathmatch there was a bunch of different shows.
@@rayceeya8659 Those weren't through "Oddities," they were just other animated shows.
This was the first of two series that aired under the banner "MTV's Oddities." The show was created by Eric Fogel (who went on to create "Celebrity Deathmatch"), and it's set in the same universe as "Beavis and Butt-Head," although it's got a more serious tone and dry sense of humor. The first season is serialized, and was soon followed by "The Maxx," a faithful adaptation of a cult comic book. A second season followed, without the serialized format.
@@rayceeya8659 And just to dispel some misinformation that I've seen online... "The Head" never aired on "Liquid Television," and similarly, "Aeon Flux" and "The Brothers Grunt" were not a part of "MTV's Oddities." Also, Oddities did not include random short like Liquid TV and "Cartoon Sushi."
@@JeffCirillo I distinctly remember them being part of oddities. Also Aeon Flux started as a series of shorts on Liquid TV but was made into a full series later.
I love 2 Stupid Dogs; always thought it was from the 70s or 80s when I watched it during the 90s lol
Some of my darkest nightmares were fueled by the maxx cartoon.
Ultra force was my favorite cartoon and comic book. I've got every single comic book and only a couple of toys that I could find online
I remember watching The Maxx on a stream like a decade ago and I had a crush on Julie Winters AKA The Jungle Queen. I didn't get Cartoon Network until 1998 but I do remember watching 2 Stupid Dogs when they were showing reruns.
I loved 2 Stupid Dogs. Miss that one. Loved the Darkstalkers cartoon too, as I loved playing the video game in the arcade. And finally The Maxx, I was absolutely obsessed with this one for some reason as a kid. I drew him all the time and was just enthralled with his design. Years later I looked into the comic book the show was based on and it's not bad. But I'll still never quite understand why I loved the character's design so much as a kid.
James Carey?
I was looking for this comment cause I just heard it also. I was like I can’t be the only one who noticed he didn’t say jim lol
The best thing that Darkstalkers cartoon did was give us that iconic voice for Lord Raptor.
Yes!
The only one i knew was 2 stupid dogs, you worked hard on this and its appreciated
Love this channel!!!
Thank You
The fun thing about the Animated Version of The MAXX was watching them write around the inevitable 90s comics crossovers with characters that the show didn't have the rights to. The storyline featuring Pitt just wrote the character out entirely, but when it came to Savage Dragon's appearance, he was replaced with a plain human cop with significantly less head fin, voiced as if he were a William Shatner parody.
2 Stupid Dogs was my jam as a kid, and only one on this list that I watched back in the day.
