I found it really funny how in Chowder, everything in the world is named after food, except for the food. Like the main characters are named stuff like Chowder, Schnitzel, and Truffles, while the food is always some nonsense word.

Fun fact! One the teachers at my highschool is actually friends with the creator C. H. Greenblatt. One day after school, I was in a club until one of my friends told me the teacher was gonna set up a Skype QnA with Greenblatt for the students to ask questions about his work and experience with the cartoon industry. Me and a couple other classmates ran down stairs to the classroom we were told to go, I remember being so excited when we saw in for the first time. The whole QnA was a super fun experience, overall Greenblatt is a down to earth and super creative guy! It was the best after school experience I ever had!
M: “Care to give a free sample to a pretty lady” C: “Sure! You know one?” M:… M: “Care to give a free sample to an ugly lady” C: “no ugly ladies have to pay.”
My favorite fourth wall joke in the entire series is when something happened that relaxed everybody in the kitchen. They're just vibin and Schnitzel says "Oh! I'm so calm, the audience can finally understand me! What's up? I'm Schnitzel!" And Mung and Chowder were uncomfortable and made him go back to "radda radda" and he was pissed
@@theWanderersnotebook Google translate offered me a chance to see what your comment of "Radda Radda Radda" was in English. Upon clicking it I have gained the forbidden knowledge and now understand everything Schnitzel said. According to Google "Radda" means "Whisper"...
"Mung Daal, why is Truffles always mad at you?" "You see, Chowder.... women have these things in their bodies called.... expectations." I knew that was funny when I was 13 and it still makes me laugh until I cry as an adult.
Or that moment at the end of the episode after Mung and Truffles make up and decide to do some “cooking” in their bedroom, while Chowder is just confused about why they’re not doing it in the kitchen. That joke flew right over my head as a kid. 😂
Chowder's style is like you sprayed disinfectant on Flapjack. It's still weird and bizzare with strange faces and unsettling things, just a bit less grimy and sickly looking.
*Mungdal in a dress* "Do you give a free sample to pretty women?" *Chowder* "Sure do you know any?" "...... Do you give free samples to ugly women?" "No. Ugly women have to pay."
My absolute favorite joke in the show is when Mung yells at Schitzel to do something when they're all in trouble and he just puts on his hat, grabs his briefcase, gives them a thumbs up, slams the door behind him, and peels away in his car. I get hypoxic replaying that scene
The "Would you?" "Would I?" segment is something me and my husband quote on just about a weekly basis. There's honestly so much good quotable content in this show, it never ceases to make me smile.
The best part about Chowder is it still has one of the most unique animation styles in cartoon history, at least in my opinion. The way certain clothing or skins on characters will have a sort of separate, static background to them with their own special pattern/color that makes the characters stand out even more in return as well as mixing in the familiarity of most cartoons with its color, locations, and characters designs is absolutely genius and I'm surprised no other cartoon or maybe even anime has done this style yet (or at least if there is one of those styles out there it's probably from a cartoon/anime that has that style overshadowed by Chowder's).
I believe an anime based of the Count of Monte Cristo did something similar in terms of style, but i think it may have missed the mark on it. (it sbeen a while since last i saw it)
"It peels the skin off your eyeballs, doesn't it!" "Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between good cheese and bad feet" Two quotes that me and my brother would quote all the time
The Amazing world of Gumball is right up there with Chowder in terms of writing, characters, jokes, and fourth wall breaks. Seriously, how could Schaffrillas not include it in his list of favorite CN shows? (I know he showed some clips of it but still, it should have been in his honorable mentions.) (EDIT: I'm not saying this condescendingly, but rather out of surprise, since TAWOG is often considered on of CN's best shows ever, and Schaff has consumed most of their great works, so it was kind of unexpected that he wouldn't mention it.)
Chowder has far better jokes, especially fourth wall jokes. I'll break it down for you, if you want an action packed adventure, then The Amazing World of Gumball is right up your alley, but if you're looking for a show where you can get a lot of laughs, than Chowder needs to be your dose of comedy.
@@wintermintleaf To be fair, if you could line them up in terms of "closes to optimism and cynicism" you would have: Chowder, closer to the optimism, then gumball in the middle, then rick and morty in the true depths of cynicism.
Fun Fact: The whole "background on the characters staying still while the character themselves moved around" thing is called Unmoving Plaid. And if I remember right, it was generally viewed as lazy and cheap back in the day because it was more of a mistake than a visual choice. With older animation technology, keeping a pattern moving consistently and naturally on a character was difficult and so it had this sort of "Why bother?" stigma attached when animators didn't put forth the extra effort to make the characters look better. But now that we've invented computers and animate on those, it's much easier to keep a consistent pattern. So now it requires more effort instead of less to achieve this effect that started off as a visual flaw. And now it's done a 180 and became a cool novelty when it's coincidentally no longer indicitave of lack of effort. Edit: The way I originally tried to explain the "mistake turned artistic choice" situation was a crime against linguistics and confusing as hell. I've made it much easier to understand now
@@aacmbirdzilla2343 I think they were saying that the effect was seen as cheap and lazy in traditional, pre-computer animation. (Unless you're older than I think, then ignore this comment lol)
Okay, so I’m pretty certain the “Boom Chaka” baby is a reference to a nineties show called Allie McBeal in which the titular character is hallucinating and sees a CGI baby dancing to Hooked on a Feeling, and that baby later became the first GIF! I may be wrong, but I’m pretty certain that’s what it references.
You are absolutely right. This was a joke on the "Ugga Chaka Baby" from Allie McBeal. This was considered one of the earliest memes. Not only was it one of the first bits of CGI (especially used for television), but it was one of the first real views into the uncanny valley. People collectively agreed it looked creepy, hence why the "Boom Chaka Baby" is feared by everyone in Chowder.
I remember this one scene where Mung was reading Chowder's letter and he couldn't read it but he could understand it because there was narration. It was hella funny
The amount of jokes within the details is amazing, gazpacho in this show is a wooly mammoth a fluffy super WARM creature, while irl gazpacho is a soup served COLD, endive is always angry, similarly irl endive is incredibly bitter, and panini, just like her real life counterpart food, wants to be smashed and I wouldn't be surprised if they brought back the show with a circumsission specialist called parsnip
I think the egg creature was a reference to the “oogachaka baby”, a 3D render of a baby dancing to hooked on a feeling. I believe it was a popular meme in the early internet.
What I love about the 4th wall breaks in chowder is how they never insult the audience or the creators of the show. They Just poke fun at the concept of Cartoons. Its not about being edgy to them, but legitimately having fun with the concept of 4th wall breaks.
I love how the ending of that episode has Panini say she and chowder could be friends when the entire time Chowder was trying to tell her he wasn’t her boyfriend. Then of course proceeded the biggest lie ever: Panini still had a crush on chowder and expressed it.
When I was little, me and my niece who’s a couple years younger looked up that clip on RUclips after seeing that episode air and just died laughing for a week.
The most recent show I can think to compare it to is Amazing World of Gumball, though I've only seen scattered peices of it. They're definitely still distinct from each other, but Gumball reminded me of Chowder enough that I never forgot my initial surprise. It's very difficult to pull off absurd, abstract, random humor like Chowder did.
In the money box episode, when mung tries to convince truffles that she is still dreaming, but then she relies with “no, you are never in any of my dreams” still to this day makes me laugh
Fun fact: the voice actor for Mung Daal voiced a surprisingly disturbing villain in Batman: Arkham Knight named Professor Pyg, and I think about this often.
"YOU'RE BANNED!" *I'm just looking for the bathroom.* "YOU'RE BANNED FROM THAT TOO!" *I am banned from the bathroom?* "Every bathroom" *NOOOOOOOOOOO!* **Edit** (Wow, ok, thanks for the likes and all, but all I did was quote one of the best memes from the show)
The one thing I remember the most about Chowder was the one time a young me and my sister were sitting down to watch a newly-premiering episode. We had the closed captions on, and for the first (and only time we ever witnessed it) ever, it showed a translation of what Schnitzel says during the theme song: "You share a big piece with everyone." Pretty innocuous by itself, but looking back on it I like to think that they probably did with his lines what they did for Groot, where the actor knows the line and is thus able to put proper emphasis and emotional context behind every word.
My favorite moment is when Schnitzel is training and beats a boulder, until it crumbles to rubble. After he triumphantly charges off, a boulder next to the rubble grows a mouth and goes "HOLY MOLY!!! Did you see what that guy did to Steve!?" to another boulder.
chowder is also one of the only male child characters actually voiced by an actual male which is really rare usually woman do the better voices for children but nicky jones killed it 💯
"All the Best Chefs have a catchphrase!" "But Chowder, I don't have a catchphrase." ".....All the Best Chefs have a catchphrase!" Goddamn this show was a work of art. I also rewatched sometime in the middle of this hellish quarantine and it was fantastic
On a comedic level Chowder was years before it's time. Intricate, layered jokes and lampshading to this degree I've only seen done well in The Simpsons.
Simple, she's an extremely talented voice actress and she's done a lot of iconic characters. I'm sure she gets paid pretty well with how many roles she's done.
Gazpacho: “ARE YOU DEAD?! YOU ARE ARENT YA!?” Gorgonzola: “Yes, I’m dead” Gazpacho: (breaks down crying) “I KNEW IT!! WE NEVER GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTER THAT MUCH IN THE SHOW!!” Another great fourth wall break 🤣🤣
"The Fire Breather" has far and away my favorite two jokes from the series. Mung reading Chowder's letter and having to listen to the voice-over because the handwriting is so awful- and the best joke I've ever seen in animation, Mung complaining about Chowder forcing the animators to have to draw all the fire
When I was a kid I had an uncle who was an artist, and he would watch shows with us, but Chowder was the one he was so fascinated with. In retrospect I see why, it's a mixture of a lot of art
This show was truly an underrated gem back in that era of Cartoon Network shows and I remember that the "boom chacka chacka chacka" creature used to scare the shit outta me, Used to hide under my blanket every time the episode appear on TV lol
@@hammbonethegamer4505 OF COURSE It doesn't scare me anymore but.. Yeah.. looking at it now, I always feel kinda dumb for getting scared by it when I was a kid 😅 and I remember watching Flapjack all the time and not getting scared by the weird stuff that happened on that show lol
And to think a show like Chowder managed to get a canonical ending where Chowder grows up and takes on the mantle of head chef with his own apprentice. Yet other cartoon shows at that time didn’t really have an “end”.
Ah yes. Another attack on my childhood that I can't argue with cause Schaff makes valid points and I love this guy too much. Thanks I'm gonna go scream internally now.
@@LaneWinn No that's ok. I agree that the movie isn't really up there with other great movies. I just feel like my inner child who likes the movie is getting attacked.
Honestly the pilot was fucking gold to me and the “I’m not your boyfriend” episode had me rolling. When Gazpacho turns off the radio while saying “alright that’s enough,” I was in tears.
The biggest, most sustained laugh I got was the ending of the episode when Mung Daal becomes jealous of a chef receiving more attention and accolades for having a catchphrase.
Y’all remember the episode where schnitzel made the adult joke which could only be understood via his hand motions? Yeah this show was gold with the couple bits of adult humor which were scattered though it
Just looked up C.H. Greenblatt on IMDB and he basically wrote the best episodes of the series including: - Squidville - Survival of the Idiots - Band Geeks - Doing Time - As Seen on TV - Krusty Krab Training Video - Mid-Life Crustacean - I Had an Accident

With older animation technology, keeping a pattern moving consistently and naturally on a character was difficult and so it had this sort of "Why bother?" stigma attached when animators didn't put forth the extra effort to make the characters look better.
But now that we've invented computers and animate on those, it's much easier to keep a consistent pattern. So now it requires more effort instead of less to achieve this effect that started off as a visual flaw. And now it's done a 180 and became a cool novelty when it's coincidentally no longer indicitave of lack of effort.
Edit: The way I originally tried to explain the "mistake turned artistic choice" situation was a crime against linguistics and confusing as hell. I've made it much easier to understand now
Thank you!! I've seen this effect in various animations and always wondered if it had a name
That's weird, when I was a kid I didn't find the clothes effect lazy, it was more charming and kinda hypnotizing to see that movement as a child
@@aacmbirdzilla2343 I think they were saying that the effect was seen as cheap and lazy in traditional, pre-computer animation.
(Unless you're older than I think, then ignore this comment lol)
I loved it. It added this uniqueness to the art that I haven’t seen to this day
@@michealpulkka6809 Ye
Okay, so I’m pretty certain the “Boom Chaka” baby is a reference to a nineties show called Allie McBeal in which the titular character is hallucinating and sees a CGI baby dancing to Hooked on a Feeling, and that baby later became the first GIF! I may be wrong, but I’m pretty certain that’s what it references.
This is amazing :000 thanks for the info. I may be wrong too but I was wondering if it was because it was about 3D Animation too
@@thatshortboy6567 yea of course! Chowder is my life blood
I remember that Boom Chaka baby GIF as some sort of an old meme on the Internet.
You are absolutely right. This was a joke on the "Ugga Chaka Baby" from Allie McBeal. This was considered one of the earliest memes. Not only was it one of the first bits of CGI (especially used for television), but it was one of the first real views into the uncanny valley. People collectively agreed it looked creepy, hence why the "Boom Chaka Baby" is feared by everyone in Chowder.
@@animekittykitty The Chowder team had a really good eye for references, didnt they?
I remember this one scene where Mung was reading Chowder's letter and he couldn't read it but he could understand it because there was narration. It was hella funny
“Mung Daal, perhaps the greatest character ever created for anything ever” Truer words were never spoken.

"Yo! Wassup diggedy dogs! I just made a mess in the old room! High five! .... look, jams! Huh! Don't be hatin'...."

“You see chowder, women have these things in their bodies called expectations.”
-mungdahl
This is Chowder
Chowder: but I'm Chowder
Mung: Exactly
Chowder: *confused*
The amount of jokes within the details is amazing, gazpacho in this show is a wooly mammoth a fluffy super WARM creature, while irl gazpacho is a soup served COLD, endive is always angry, similarly irl endive is incredibly bitter, and panini, just like her real life counterpart food, wants to be smashed and I wouldn't be surprised if they brought back the show with a circumsission specialist called parsnip
Panini part got me 😆
I think that's a bit too far, but I wouldn't put it past CN
Not a circumcision specialist but a barber
I think the egg creature was a reference to the “oogachaka baby”, a 3D render of a baby dancing to hooked on a feeling. I believe it was a popular meme in the early internet.
Its from ally mcbeal
Popular is generous, I would say it was infamously bad
Oh my oogachaka baby....... my mind is reeled back to the past
Cartoon Network: So how many Fourth Wall Breakers are you gonna put on Chowder?
CH Greenblatt: *_yes_*
My favorite joke from the show was:
"Oh no! The sun is rising!"
Cut to the sun rising from a crevice to attack people
I just love how chowder's constantly able pull the rug from under you with jokes like that outta nowhere
I burst out laughing the first time I saw that scene.
I haven’t seen the original but just reading this made me laugh
What I love about the 4th wall breaks in chowder is how they never insult the audience or the creators of the show. They Just poke fun at the concept of Cartoons.
Its not about being edgy to them, but legitimately having fun with the concept of 4th wall breaks.
“Darlin’ I’d never though I’d say this but wigga wigga Wagga Wagga wugga”
“What”
“Oh that’s just something that I’d never thought I’d have to say”
Chowder: "I AM NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
This has been stuck in my mind for over a decade.
That ending though.
Panini managed to husband him up and I'm still not sure how.
🎶I'm...Not...Your... Boyfriend! I'm Not Your Boyfriend! I'mNotYourBoyfriend!🎶
I love how the ending of that episode has Panini say she and chowder could be friends when the entire time Chowder was trying to tell her he wasn’t her boyfriend. Then of course proceeded the biggest lie ever: Panini still had a crush on chowder and expressed it.
Random guy: Isn’t she pretty?
Chowder: Yeah shes pretty........ Pretty ugly
Biggest roast on the show
*gets locked in closet*
“Aw man. I really wanted to dance some more.”
lol i didn’t realize that this is where i got that phrase from!
Mung: Free sample for a pretty lady?
Chowder: Sure, you know one?
Mung: Free sample for an ugly lady?
Chowder: No, ugly ladies have to pay.
@@runningoncylinders3829 Yeah that joke still gets a laugh out of me😂😂
Isn’t she pretty?
7:22 “But where are we gonna get the money to pay for it?”
*Cue RUclips ads*
I’m not even joking. Flawless timing.
"Please?"
"No, Chowder!"
"𝔓𝔯𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔶 𝔭𝔩𝔢𝔞𝔰𝔢~"
"WHAT THE-"
For the longest time, that was the only joke from the show I could actually remember and quote and because of that, it's one of my favorites
I love how I instantly remembered that scene even all these years later.
When I was little, me and my niece who’s a couple years younger looked up that clip on RUclips after seeing that episode air and just died laughing for a week.
laughed at this one thanks lol
OH GOD I HEARD THAT! *ded*
Chowder: "You're not in this episode."

I still have never watched this cartoon and I keep hearing more and seeing more very positive criticism about it
Make time to watch a few episodes
It’s a amazing show, you won’t regret
It's also on hulu, that's how I rewatched it
The most recent show I can think to compare it to is Amazing World of Gumball, though I've only seen scattered peices of it. They're definitely still distinct from each other, but Gumball reminded me of Chowder enough that I never forgot my initial surprise. It's very difficult to pull off absurd, abstract, random humor like Chowder did.
Beyond worth especially coming back to it as an adult.
Fun fact: Chowder has enough fourth wall breaks to fill an entire episode

In the money box episode, when mung tries to convince truffles that she is still dreaming, but then she relies with “no, you are never in any of my dreams” still to this day makes me laugh
My favorite chowder quote:
Women have these big things on their chests called expectations
Mmmmm...
Expectations...
Yes
I'm pretty sure it was in their bodies.
Fun fact: the voice actor for Mung Daal voiced a surprisingly disturbing villain in Batman: Arkham Knight named Professor Pyg, and I think about this often.
OH GOD NO
He also voiced Deathshead from Wolfenstein.
And Master Neloth from skyrims dragon born dlc
And Dr. Animo from Ben 10
And is Murdock on The A-Team, who is objectively the best character on that show.
C H Greenblatt wrote Band Geeks for Spongebob so, he’s just legendary all around
That's amazing
wow! the dude is a living legend for sure
And harvey
I hope HBO treats him better
He was responsible for a lot of early iconic SpongeBob episodes
I love their clothes, or even just Shnitzel himself, their designs/textures stay still as the characters move around
LITERALLY better than most adult comedy shows and stand up
"YOU'RE BANNED!"

Mung: "because that's what women do, they keep you from having what you want"
That line is fucking phenomenal for a kids show
@@camorangergaming5559 This show is fucking phenomenal for a kids show.
The one thing I remember the most about Chowder was the one time a young me and my sister were sitting down to watch a newly-premiering episode. We had the closed captions on, and for the first (and only time we ever witnessed it) ever, it showed a translation of what Schnitzel says during the theme song:
"You share a big piece with everyone."
Pretty innocuous by itself, but looking back on it I like to think that they probably did with his lines what they did for Groot, where the actor knows the line and is thus able to put proper emphasis and emotional context behind every word.
Thanos: I am inevitable *Snaps but nothing happens*
Chowder: *With all Infinity Stones* And...You're. Not. In. This Episode. *SNAP*
RIP MY HOMIE
My favorite moment is when Schnitzel is training and beats a boulder, until it crumbles to rubble. After he triumphantly charges off, a boulder next to the rubble grows a mouth and goes "HOLY MOLY!!! Did you see what that guy did to Steve!?" to another boulder.
I just watched that episode yesterday😂🤣
Mung: "Yes! Stronger you Are Getting"!
Chowder: "Silly you are talking".
chowder is also one of the only male child characters actually voiced by an actual male which is really rare usually woman do the better voices for children but nicky jones killed it 💯
Funny enough gumball is too, and they have rather similar and overlapping styles of humour
What's even more insane is that before Chowder, he voiced Flower in Bambi 2.
@@awsomedude23456 Nicky jones also voiced gumball in the pilot
@@awsomedude23456 And Lincoln Loud.
@@awsomedude23456 And Darwin.
The fact that this show only got 2 seasons and Teen Titans Go! got 7 seasons still amazes to this day.
Chowder has 3 seasons not 2 but I agree with you.
Blame CN Real, that era of cartoon network.

Goddamn this show was a work of art. I also rewatched sometime in the middle of this hellish quarantine and it was fantastic
I was just reminded of the RUclips poop called “We’re sonic, chowder, and some catchphrase” when I read that line
*"NOW ALL THE ANIMATORS HAVE TO DRAW ALL OF THIS FIRE!"*
On a comedic level Chowder was years before it's time. Intricate, layered jokes and lampshading to this degree I've only seen done well in The Simpsons.
This show is so funny that you simply explaining most of this stuff still has me dying
My favorite Chowder quote:
"Trees are tall, and if you fall from tall, you go quiet forever"
~from the episode 'Big Food'
that is so simple and somehow so damn deep
“Where are we gonna find the money to pay for it?”
Tara: Why are you all looking at me?
Strip for us Tara.
bonk
Simple, she's an extremely talented voice actress and she's done a lot of iconic characters. I'm sure she gets paid pretty well with how many roles she's done.
Gazpacho: “ARE YOU DEAD?! YOU ARE ARENT YA!?”
Gorgonzola: “Yes, I’m dead”

"The Fire Breather" has far and away my favorite two jokes from the series. Mung reading Chowder's letter and having to listen to the voice-over because the handwriting is so awful- and the best joke I've ever seen in animation, Mung complaining about Chowder forcing the animators to have to draw all the fire
When I was a kid I had an uncle who was an artist, and he would watch shows with us, but Chowder was the one he was so fascinated with. In retrospect I see why, it's a mixture of a lot of art
It was the car wash segment where everyone realized one of the most iconic voice actresses in every cartoon series, Tara strong, is really pretty.
I was looking for this comment, glad to find likeminded people
This and Flapjack honestly deserve the same recognition as other greats such as Ed Edd n Eddy, Adventure Time, etc.
Agreed.
Flapjack raised me
Adventure Time taught me important adult lessons as well as sustained my childish appreciation
Chowder was definitely the master of fourth wall breaks

@@AhmedDaRUclipsr
I know how you feel, I always gotten scared by movie trailers like the Iron Giant
And to think a show like Chowder managed to get a canonical ending where Chowder grows up and takes on the mantle of head chef with his own apprentice. Yet other cartoon shows at that time didn’t really have an “end”.
And yet despite that I still craved more Chowder shenanigans.
Sometimes I do wish to see what one episode would look like after the finale, but I think that would be too greedy of me lol.

Honestly the pilot was fucking gold to me and the “I’m not your boyfriend” episode had me rolling. When Gazpacho turns off the radio while saying “alright that’s enough,” I was in tears.
The episode where the actual voice actors had to save the show with a car wash was the best fourth wall break I've ever seen.
Did y’all know the voice actress for Endive is voiced by the woman who are the teachers from icarly and ant farm??
@ZeroClimatic She's talented for sure! I was just shocked because I didn't recognize her voice from the little accent she gave it.
She's also Lin Beifong from Legend of Korra
She was also Dr. Evil's lover in Austin Powers
The biggest, most sustained laugh I got was the ending of the episode when Mung Daal becomes jealous of a chef receiving more attention and accolades for having a catchphrase.
