There’s just something so uncanny and weird about claymation to me, for as long as I can remember I’ve always found it really scary yet fascinating to watch. This show definitely would’ve spooked the hell out of me if I saw it as a kid!
@@HoodoHoodlumsRevenge Dude, I’ve been watching your vids for years, since 2014 I think, I used to and still love creepypastas, so it’s awesome to see you on a Goose video, two of my favorite youtubers on (and one in) one video! PS: Thanks for introducing me to Gorillaz!
I FEEL LIKE CRYING YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS OH MY GOSH THANK YOU. I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS COMPLETE THANK YOU SO MUCH I CAN DIE HAPPY. SORRY FOR YELLING BUT FAM? YOU'VE MADE MY ENTIRE YEAR
Not gonna lie, the maths guy and his minutes, fingers and Noah's ark thing, sounds like the memes you'd get about bullshit maths questions. Like "it is twelve am, John has five fingers, calculate how long it rained on Noah's ark.
i just love how so many of us had the same childhood. This show was so short lived and somewhat hidden but ive known a fair share of people who got to experience it.
If you want see how many people share a childhood. One of my teachers, Tommy, is probably about 30 but he watched Between the Lions as a kid and so did I. I’m half his age probably
I loved the hell out of this show! ...And still watch it when it comes on HBO Family. Trying to figure out the Sketch Pad twists still requires massive leaps sometimes.
Yeah, some of those twists were... a bit of a stretch, to say the least. Meanwhile I could never figure out the skeleton pirate's math bits... if only because I sucked royally at math and still do.
The Revolting Slob is what awakened my eating disorder, I shit you not. Probably was like 7 or something, and even watching the section you showed made old urges come back, good god.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE- Ever since I started watching HBO shows w hulu everytime that static HBO logo comes on I'm reminded of Crash Box. I fucking ***LOVED*** this show. I adore it. I can see why people were scared of it but I LOVED it.
when I was a kid, The Revolting Slob was mine and my sister's favorite part of the show. As an adult, I find it horrible and I really couldn't tell you why I liked it so much as a kid lmfao
I still think he is funny. The guy is portrayed as a slovenly jerk with no redeeming qualities so it was fun to see him get dunked on while learing some new words in the process.
My grandmother loved this part too. I don’t remember why, but I remember some relative comparing the stuff inside the fridge in the introduction to the one my mother has.
oh my goodness, ive been looking for this show for years, i couldn't remember the name of it, i used to watch this when my family had cable as a kid along I Spy, THANK YOU
@@un-inkpressivevideos9541 yeah I do too. I just remember there was a ball character named Bob and a cup character?? can't for the life of me figure out if it was supposed to be edutainment or not, but there was a lot of singing.
OH LORD YOU’VE AWAKENED HORRIBLE MEMORIES FROM THE DEEPEST PARTS OF MY MIND- That show was absolutely terrifying to me! Thank you for covering this, Goose!
Always seems to have that sort of talent doesn't me? I had a similar way of getting it that Goose did too and honestly they were some of my happiest memories as a kid. When my dad was around that show always seemed to be on, or maybe it was the otherway around, anyway we both had fun trying to play along with the severe handicap that we were utter dumb asses.
@@dylandreisbach1986 Ohhh bro same i remember watching it when sitting on the couch at like 8 years old or older man oh man life was so simple back then now look at where we are.
Wow, this is a blast from the past. Honestly, this show never scared me as a kid. I thought it was super fun, kind of like a whacky Brain Games for kids. But coming back to it now at the age of 19, I definitely do see how some creepy details went over my head as a kid. Especially the Snake Charmer and the Detective shorts. Just plain weird.
I actually had no idea about this show's existence until several years ago when someone on Deviantart requested me to draw one of the characters from it.
HOLY SHIT. I remember this show! My family and I used to watch it every time it came on. I actually used to like it a lot. I loved the way everything moved and looked. I didn't even know people found it scary. LoL But I can see why some people would be. I did absolutely despise the Revolting Slob segments though. Hated that part.
I remember two of the shorts the most: the one where the zookeeper constantly got vored by the animals, and the one where it was a super fun math challenge.
I loved crashbox SO MUCH. It was so much fun, I remember the haunted house and the pirate skeleton. And i agree with the revolting slob, ugh they just made this so gross with all the stuff around the house and the food it just e w, but i liked the rest
This was definitely one of my all time favorite shows as a kid and I still think it’s really good. I always just loved how nasty and colorful it was, plus I adored stop motion as a kid and still do. This show is probably the reason I grew up as the “weird kid,” lmao.
Same really, I loved this show and was weirdly fascinated by all of it, but god The Slob just really freaked me out to the point where I refused to eat frijoles when my mom made em.
I love crashbox, my grandma always played it and I never watched it at my moms house so I would beg to go to my grandmas. I had a fat crush on jumpin Johnny jumble and now that I’m older I realized how chaotic it was, when I was older I grew to love all this dark shit and chaotic stuff and I think crashbox did this to me.
I'm glad this show is getting the recognition it deserves. I grew up watching it :) Also fun fact Captian Bob is voiced by Greg Eagles. The same guy who voiced Grim from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.(Maybe a traumathon episode of the show?)
He was also the DARPA Chief (Donald Anderson) and Gray Fox in Metal Gear Solid 1 (Rob Paulsen voiced Gray Fox in The Twin Snakes remake), Peter Stillman in Metal Gear Solid 2, and SigInt in Metal Gear Solid 3.
OH MY GOODNESS, I'M SO HAPPY YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS SHOW ;) It makes me sad that not a lot of people know it, but I loved Crashbox as a kid. This show is essentially an educational psychedelic acid trip, but it never really scared me. In fact, it actually made me laugh.
DUDE THIS BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. It never really scared me as a kid, but the visuals and different sound effects at times did kinda interest me. It was such a different and odd, yet charming show.
Oh God I remember this show, in fact I remember maybe some shows from HBO when I was younger, this one being "Crashbox", a "I-Spy" book related show, "A Little Curious", and many more.. And yes, it was odd, like in my opinion all of it was odd, like they surely went out of the box with this show.. Some things were a bit creepy to me, but not as much as the "Slob", oh dear I can't explain it, he was just terrifying, and still terrifying to me today! Heck, I even had a nightmare about a mix between him and Ernie from Sesame Street I think for some reason, I don't know why but I can't still remember them.. Seriously, the rest of the characters where fine for me except for the Slob.
Honestly, the Revolting Slob was the only segment of this I could ever recall. But damn this has brought back memories! The second I saw the newscaster in the thumbnail, I clicked on it so damn fast.
Oh man this was my FAVORITE as a kid! Freaked my mom and grandparents out a bit though ahaha. You know this is a deep-seeded… (seated?) memory, when you see the ending clip and say in the voice “and now, it’s time for a crashbox rewind!” Ugh, thank you for lighting the tiny tea light in my heart. ❤️
Thank you for covering this! I've brought this show up to so many people just to get greeted with a never heard of it. This and A Little Curious were really good shows for it's time
This show was a huge part of my childhood and this is really the first time I've heard someone else talk about it. I can understand how people would think that its creepy but I loved it and I think it really shaped my asthetic and my interests (horror, surrealist art, etc)
oh my god this just unlocked a memory when i was like five, i was staying at an aunt's house, and this came on TV, and i was SO confused what was happening and weirded out
This show seems to just have this kind of power where you watched it as a kid, forgot about it for years, and then someone out of nowhere brings it up or it gets talked about online and unlocks a dusty, old forgotten memory.
I just had a massive recollection of seeing this show one time in a hotel I stayed at for the night and I could not figure out what was going on or what it was called. Thank you for putting that mystery to rest.
I’ve been trying to find this show all my life, I remember my uncle used to watch this with me when I was a baby, but years passed and I forgot what it was called. U just unlocked my nostalgia, so thank u dawg
This brought back a flood of memories, back to the days where I would binge watch the "Magnet" programming block that HBO Family had for teens afte school. This was one of the shows that aired on that block, and I missed it dearly. Thank you for bringing back some happy memories, and making me realize that I wasn't the only fan of shows like this.
I loved this show and it’s look so much as a kid. I’ve always been fascinated with the dark and uncanny so it never bothered me, but I can definitely see how some kids had a less then stellar reaction to its artistic style.
OMG I haven't seen this in years I always thought it was a fever dream or something >.< This show absolutely scared the shit out of me as a kid but I also really love how creative it was and still have nostalgia for it, Thank you for reminding me of this show!
I vividly remember crashbox but as a kid I recalled one more host? Likely kid me mixing shows but I saw the animation and was absolutely sure I'd hear about a skeleton pirate host that would get into some math related hijinks. Guy never really scared me but he stood out in a way that makes me want to find him again.
Ah, yesss! I remember watching this show at my Nana's in the early morning as a kid, it went so fast my little ADHD brain loved it despite the creepy imagery
I watched Crashbox so much as a kid, and I'd like to thank you for reminding me of this show once again. This show rarely freaked me out, though knowing how weird it got I probably got a little unnerved at some points. Don't have HBO now sadly so I'm unable to watch/stream it, but it is something I'd love to rewatch someday.
No way, how were people scared of Crash box? That show made my childhood. Also thank you for bringing these memories back. Edit: okay I see now. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the Eddie Bull segment. Not even the segment itself but for some reason, the shapes that float in the background. Idk I dont understand my brain sometimes lol
The thing that traumatized me as a kid the most was the comic series Marvel zombies, The idea of all the heroes I love turning into zombies and sentient zombies at that who Just wanted to consume me was terrifying enough, But then in Marvel zombies versus the army of darkness not only did the power pack get turned into zombies but also my favorite Marvel character at the time Howard the duck, and he ate ash's brain in graphic detail, I love ash and howard the duck so that seen fucked with me for years and still does to this day
God . Crashbox. I remember, during summers when I was a kid, my family and I would go out to our house by the barn we had. I had a little shitbox TV in my tiny room in that house, and I remember I’d be up bright and early to watch crashbox every damn time I could find it. It was always at a weird near-twilight or late-early nighttime hour, when that summer smell starts emanating through your window screen and it’s not pitch black out but you can still notice the stark difference between the surrounding navy haze and the fireflies twinkling out in the grass. This show brought me more comfort that I think I could ever express and I really don’t know why. I think it was just the setting I always watched it in and how the aesthetic and characters always enthralled me. Without crashbox I’d be an entirely different person, honestly. That show is gold.
I loved crashbox but I distinctly remember changing the channel and waiting for the the revolting slob segment to be over before I changed it back. Revisiting this years later with OCD was a nightmare.
I've been looking for this show everywhere you finally digged it out from the recesses of my mind. It used to really creep me out as a kid, waking up to it anyways. Great video, as always!
HOLY SHET THIS WAS MY CHILDHOO- I loved this show. Especially the Jamaican Guy, the Pirate Skeleton, that Sketch Pad dude. But as a kid I was terrified of the Revolting Slob.
i used to watch this show at my grandma's when i was younger, but i only remember it coming on pretty late at night, which added to the absurdity of the show. honestly glad you made a traumathon vid abt it bc not a lot of ppl i know actually remember this show
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH MY GOD!!!!!! I remember watching this as a kid, and I liked it, but was also freaked out by it. I also remember seeing this show about Fairy Tales, that was called Happily Ever After or something, and is actually on HBO Max. It was well known fairy tales, reimagined into settings from other countries, like Africa and China. But man, this was a nostalgia trip! I actually remember trying to look for it online once, but I couldn’t find it because I thought it was called Matchbox instead of Crash Box
I love Crashbox so much. It really helped my ADHD when i was younger and the design and animations and every episode you really see how much love is poured into it.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I love hearing people talk about it. Knowing that I wasn't the only one who knew this show existed makes me so happy. I remember setting a timer on the TV so I wouldn't miss a SINGLE episode. My parents didn't always have enough money to get all the channels, so I would binge-watch all my fav shows before they were gone. I'm actually surprised that people thought that this show was scary. Then again, I am the kid who watched every horror kid show I could find. And then there were all the clown shows I loved like The Big Comfy Couch.
I don't know how I missed you posting this! I think about this show all the time. When I was younger I was never really scared of the Revolting Slob, I actually remembered liking the skit! The news woman definitely is a bit creepy to look at. But of course, I was terrified by the submarine skit. Not just the host himself, but just the lighting and the feel of the scene. The faces on the wall singing as he did his thing. It always creeped me out as a kid...
oh man this made me happy stim! I totally forgot about crashbox! It was like my favorite show as a kid and it probably inspired my love for claymation and art in general. Thanks for covering it!
I dunno how I didn’t realized it before, but the Revolting Slob being the way that he is due to how he’s very depressed and has given up on life tragically makes sense. I’ll forever look at it from that angle alone.
Oh dude I thought this show was just a fever dream. I remember seeing this when I was really little on like a preview or something. I like its style, like the EyeSpy books and all that.
Thank you so much for bringing this show up, it was so underrated and childhood me loved it. I was a weird kid (even weirder adult) so things like Crash Box, Invader Zim, etc. Was my jam. I think I may revisit it since it is on HBO Max.
LMAOOOO the Revolting Slob segment scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid!! I was so fascinated with Crashbox but when his segment came on I'd hide or close my eyes until it was over. The intro where the brain gets squashed by the tv or whatever it was also disturbed me for whatever reason. Traumathon is so much fun but this is the one I've been best able to relate to! Super excited
I watched Crashbox all the time as a kid! The steampunkesque robots building in the transitions between each skit especially caught my eye, but I can definitely see how someone would find the Crashbox characters creepy. Thank you for this awesome nostalgia trip!
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT THIS SHOW! I LOVED this show so much as a kid. My mom was terminally ill my whole childhood, so when my dad and I would visit the hospital (which was a lot) I remember this show and that one show about the fairy tails. I need to watch this again lol. I very very specifically remember the revolting slob haha.

Crashbox scary? interesting lol love this show, but never scared me.
Exactly you maybe some things were off putting but never scary
I loved this show when I was young
It was weird. Just look at those hosts
I remember crashbox! It wasn't as scary but more quirky and weird but I enjoyed it
Yeah it was a cool show
There’s just something so uncanny and weird about claymation to me, for as long as I can remember I’ve always found it really scary yet fascinating to watch. This show definitely would’ve spooked the hell out of me if I saw it as a kid!

With the impact it had on me I had no idea it was short lived. Also, I didn't really notice how many seasons a show had as a kid anyways.
i dont even know how i learned of its existance but i watched it all the damn time

Im rewatching it.
EYYYY CRASHBOX GANG
I make a yearly tradition out of re-remembering it exists and binging it, before forgetting about it again.
Oh HeY kAnAyA :o)
ew a homestuck
I’m usually not the nostalgic type, but they’re just something about Crashbox that has made me remember it super fondly.
I loved the hell out of this show!

Crashbox was my entire childhood. Most fun I've ever had watching a show.
Loved to watch Crashbox whenever I'd visit my older cousins
Damn I miss my aunt
I remember two of the shorts the most: the one where the zookeeper constantly got vored by the animals, and the one where it was a super fun math challenge.
For me it’s Mugshots and the Revolting Slob. The first was my favorite and the second scared me too.

this show is the reason why i love such demented art styles, im so glad Goose covered this. shit was my childhood.
This scared you? This was my favorite show back in the day haha. Younger me was always waiting to see if the show featured "Ten Seconds."
This show absolutely terrified me as a kid. The gross out stuff really freaked me out. This show literally gave me nightmares.
oh my GOD I thought this show just never existed! The Slob always scared me as a kid x_x
Same. Thought I was the only one...
Damn, I remember watching this when I was toddler and The Slob scene always hunts me, same for the guy who got eaten by some animal.

"Hello I'm Dora Smarmy and welcome to distraction news" every time I hear that while watching crashbox on HBO family good times
“My name’s Verity. I bust bad guys. You wanna help? Come on in.”
“Just because you got eyes doesn’t mean you always see.” Sketch pad guy

This was one of the shows that aired on that block, and I missed it dearly. Thank you for bringing back some happy memories, and making me realize that I wasn't the only fan of shows like this.
Ok,
*I grew up with this show*
*and I somehow loved it*
I loved this show and it’s look so much as a kid. I’ve always been fascinated with the dark and uncanny so it never bothered me, but I can definitely see how some kids had a less then stellar reaction to its artistic style.
3:45 you sound like one of “Vargskelethor” Vinesauce Joel’s voice impressions lol.
OMG I haven't seen this in years I always thought it was a fever dream or something >.< This show absolutely scared the shit out of me as a kid but I also really love how creative it was and still have nostalgia for it, Thank you for reminding me of this show!
my brother, me, and my dad always watched Crashbox on Sundays when we saw each other
Oh my gosh. I loved this show. Im so happy you covered it. This show deserves more attention so thank you. ^^
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!
I LOVED IT SO MUCH AINSXHDUHWBUISNX!!!
I vividly remember crashbox but as a kid I recalled one more host? Likely kid me mixing shows but I saw the animation and was absolutely sure I'd hear about a skeleton pirate host that would get into some math related hijinks. Guy never really scared me but he stood out in a way that makes me want to find him again.
I remember that too he would do math with his bones or something
@@jameer7565I think I heard of this online before I don’t remember what it is
Ah, yesss! I remember watching this show at my Nana's in the early morning as a kid, it went so fast my little ADHD brain loved it despite the creepy imagery
BRO THAT SHIT IS MY JAM
i used to beg my grandma to see if chrashbox is on
Woah. I thought I was the only one who knew about this show. It feels almost like Candle Cove for me.
I watched Crashbox so much as a kid, and I'd like to thank you for reminding me of this show once again. This show rarely freaked me out, though knowing how weird it got I probably got a little unnerved at some points. Don't have HBO now sadly so I'm unable to watch/stream it, but it is something I'd love to rewatch someday.
Burnt in more ways than one Jamaican man: lol Wow
The Slob: Ew. Just ew.
Screen shot of Mr. Meaty: *Back foul creature!*
This brought lovely memories dude. I MISSED this show it was glorious and so fascinating to look at (especially as a young art baby)
This show was amazing
No way, how were people scared of Crash box? That show made my childhood. Also thank you for bringing these memories back.
Edit: okay I see now. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the Eddie Bull segment. Not even the segment itself but for some reason, the shapes that float in the background. Idk I dont understand my brain sometimes lol
The thing that traumatized me as a kid the most was the comic series Marvel zombies, The idea of all the heroes I love turning into zombies and sentient zombies at that who Just wanted to consume me was terrifying enough, But then in Marvel zombies versus the army of darkness not only did the power pack get turned into zombies but also my favorite Marvel character at the time Howard the duck, and he ate ash's brain in graphic detail, I love ash and howard the duck so that seen fucked with me for years and still does to this day
God . Crashbox. I remember, during summers when I was a kid, my family and I would go out to our house by the barn we had. I had a little shitbox TV in my tiny room in that house, and I remember I’d be up bright and early to watch crashbox every damn time I could find it. It was always at a weird near-twilight or late-early nighttime hour, when that summer smell starts emanating through your window screen and it’s not pitch black out but you can still notice the stark difference between the surrounding navy haze and the fireflies twinkling out in the grass. This show brought me more comfort that I think I could ever express and I really don’t know why. I think it was just the setting I always watched it in and how the aesthetic and characters always enthralled me. Without crashbox I’d be an entirely different person, honestly. That show is gold.
I loved crashbox but I distinctly remember changing the channel and waiting for the the revolting slob segment to be over before I changed it back. Revisiting this years later with OCD was a nightmare.
I've been looking for this show everywhere you finally digged it out from the recesses of my mind. It used to really creep me out as a kid, waking up to it anyways. Great video, as always!
HOLY SHET THIS WAS MY CHILDHOO-
I loved this show. Especially the Jamaican Guy, the Pirate Skeleton, that Sketch Pad dude. But as a kid I was terrified of the Revolting Slob.
i used to watch this show at my grandma's when i was younger, but i only remember it coming on pretty late at night, which added to the absurdity of the show. honestly glad you made a traumathon vid abt it bc not a lot of ppl i know actually remember this show
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH MY GOD!!!!!! I remember watching this as a kid, and I liked it, but was also freaked out by it. I also remember seeing this show about Fairy Tales, that was called Happily Ever After or something, and is actually on HBO Max. It was well known fairy tales, reimagined into settings from other countries, like Africa and China. But man, this was a nostalgia trip! I actually remember trying to look for it online once, but I couldn’t find it because I thought it was called Matchbox instead of Crash Box
I love Crashbox so much. It really helped my ADHD when i was younger and the design and animations and every episode you really see how much love is poured into it.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I love hearing people talk about it. Knowing that I wasn't the only one who knew this show existed makes me so happy. I remember setting a timer on the TV so I wouldn't miss a SINGLE episode. My parents didn't always have enough money to get all the channels, so I would binge-watch all my fav shows before they were gone. I'm actually surprised that people thought that this show was scary. Then again, I am the kid who watched every horror kid show I could find. And then there were all the clown shows I loved like The Big Comfy Couch.
I don't know how I missed you posting this! I think about this show all the time. When I was younger I was never really scared of the Revolting Slob, I actually remembered liking the skit! The news woman definitely is a bit creepy to look at. But of course, I was terrified by the submarine skit. Not just the host himself, but just the lighting and the feel of the scene. The faces on the wall singing as he did his thing. It always creeped me out as a kid...
oh man this made me happy stim! I totally forgot about crashbox! It was like my favorite show as a kid and it probably inspired my love for claymation and art in general. Thanks for covering it!
thank you for making these videos! they're getting me through the month tbh
I dunno how I didn’t realized it before, but the Revolting Slob being the way that he is due to how he’s very depressed and has given up on life tragically makes sense. I’ll forever look at it from that angle alone.
Oh dude I thought this show was just a fever dream. I remember seeing this when I was really little on like a preview or something. I like its style, like the EyeSpy books and all that.
Thank you so much for bringing this show up, it was so underrated and childhood me loved it. I was a weird kid (even weirder adult) so things like Crash Box, Invader Zim, etc. Was my jam. I think I may revisit it since it is on HBO Max.
This is a real nostalgia trip, I loved this show as a kid!
LMAOOOO the Revolting Slob segment scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid!! I was so fascinated with Crashbox but when his segment came on I'd hide or close my eyes until it was over. The intro where the brain gets squashed by the tv or whatever it was also disturbed me for whatever reason. Traumathon is so much fun but this is the one I've been best able to relate to! Super excited
I watched Crashbox all the time as a kid! The steampunkesque robots building in the transitions between each skit especially caught my eye, but I can definitely see how someone would find the Crashbox characters creepy. Thank you for this awesome nostalgia trip!
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT THIS SHOW! I LOVED this show so much as a kid. My mom was terminally ill my whole childhood, so when my dad and I would visit the hospital (which was a lot) I remember this show and that one show about the fairy tails. I need to watch this again lol. I very very specifically remember the revolting slob haha.
God I loved this show! The claymation was amazing and I’ve always been obsessed with it.
Thank you for talking about Crashbox! I was OBSESSED with this show as a kid and thought no one would ever talk about it!
This show was my childhood. I had forgotten about it and I’m so happy right now.
