Amazon cancelled the Tick because it didn’t meet Amazon’s “standards” which means it was well made, entertaining and had a devoted fan base. Amazon only keeps shows that are cheap to make, quality doesn’t matter to them.
@@marybarnes6407 Producers were keen to return attention to the series so they could make more money from the whole franchise. Most producers are idiots, however, and can never seem to realise when it’s time to quit. Rings of Power was a pet project, so producers would protect it, however the Tick was simply just a “thing” they were not bothered to continue investing in
The Tick animated series was so bizarre, it could have been on MTV. In between episodes of Aeon Flux and The Maxx.... Man... the 90s were quite wild, right?
And it aired on FoxKids as well. But hey if they brought back Animaniacs, maybe they’ll bring back The Tick. Cuz I seriously MUST know who the Tick is. That’s LITERALLY been the question fans have been asking for years. Yet no one knows, not even Tick himself. Mainly due to him being an amnesiac from years of head injuries. We don’t know his origins, full name (his first name is Mark), his home town, family, or if his suit is actually a suit or if it’s part of his skin. So many questions for this heroic hero who holds out his arms and gives Destiny a big hug, embracing Destiny with every squeeze.
The Tick is one of my absolute fan's and it is in my "rotation" of background videos that I have running pretty much non-stop. Others in the playlist include "The Venture Bros", " Frisky Dingo", Futurama", "Bullwinkle", "Samurai Jack", "One Punch Man" and "Archer". They are all soooooooo good.
This show was 99% perfect. Perfect characters, voice acting and one of the best themes of all time. Only reason it isn't perfect is because Batman TAS and Gargoyles exist
To this day I still laugh every time I empty the lint in my dryer, because of "Lint speed!" After all, lint is already in the dryer...BECAUSE IT'S THAT FAST!"
My favorite episode is the episode which shows the moon getting messed with again, when the "C" is removed and a huge bite is taken out of it by the Galactus-analog Omnipotus. Unfortunately this episode was not included in the Tick DVD set for some reason, which I always considered to be a bummer. Must be puzzling too for people like me who never saw this episode (I saw the rest of the second season before catching this one) wondering how the moon got a bite taken out of it.
@@JStryker47 Yes; the show was very good with its continuity I must say. Thing is, I was a latecomer to the watching the show. I didn't see the first season until after I saw the second one (thank goodness for reruns), and the episode with Omnipotus almost last of all, so needless to say that was very, very confusing to me - and in those days before Internet was widely available I had no easy way to find out why the moon was like that right away. 😁
Patrick Warburton was perfectly cast to play The Tick in live-action. Too bad the show didn’t last long. One quibble: American Maid was renamed “Captain Liberty” for the show, which was not only unfunny, but lame
I saw a teaser for the live-action show that instantly turned me off of it. Where Patrick Warburton (I'm not calling him The Tick - he's just Patrick Warburton in cosplay) rips a coffee machine out of the ground at a gas station, steals a coffee, and says "Coffee, you are my BITCH." The Tick would never swear or steal coffee, it goes completely against his naive, childish, heroic demeanour. Any damage he causes is incidental and accidental, and he would never steal.
Very smart for its time. It could easily compete with anything else in today’s entertainment industry. A great piece of meta commentary on the super hero genre reminding us what else we can do with that genre. A lesson creators should take more chances on as they’ve already watered down too much of the genre by reusing the same heroes the same way almost every time! We were very fortunate to have grown up with brands like the Tick. Really don’t envy today’s generation given the industry these days…
I would love to see a superhero show similar to the Tick and not just another dark and gritty deconstruction of the superhero genre like the Boys or Invincible
The Tick animated show was so awesome, I watched it on Fox Kids, and was syndicated on Comedy Central and subsequently helped make it a cult hit with adults. It seems that Comedy Central will be showing the new episodes either the day after or the week after they appear on FOX. Besides showing them on Sundays at 7, the episodes will also appear Sundays at midnight, Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. and Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. Comedy Central did not create any new episodes and after about two years of reruns, they stopped running the show. It was brought by Disney and Toon Disney began airing The Tick in 2005, along with other former FOX animated series like X-Men. It would also occasionally air on ABC Family as part of the Jetix cartoon block.
The joke that made me spit out my soda was the wallet angler line. They go into the sewers and theres a wallet with like a 5 dollar bill sticking out of it. Its a lure used by an angler fish😂
Ben Edlund was from Brockton Massachusetts, about 45 minutes from my house, he did the black and white comic for New England Comics, I have the fist 5 issues.
I'm glad to see that there is still a The Tick fanbase going around. I love the comics and the animated show so much. Kinda got into it because of the Venture Brothers, it has a very similar humor, aside from the more mature themes, but still, they are just both really great shows
I used to love watching that show. I would wait to watch it on Saturday. Fastest half hour ever. Would love to get all the episodes on cd,if it is possible. Spoon!
The Tick's print-comic origin was in a safely padded room: "I knew it was my destiny to be a superhero...Just as I once knew it was my destiny to be Eleanor Roosevelt, but those days are OVER NOW!!"
Wasn't this on comedy central back in the day I also really enjoyed the live action The Tick my favorite live action episode is when Arthur is in an asylum for super heroes
mtv n vh1 as well. there may have been other viacom networks who aired it as well. fox kids aired the episodes slightly edited and censored for repeats. Fox kids only airing them uncut once or twice. Airing unaltered became a big selling point for comedy central.
The Tick was one of my five favorite ‘toons when I was a kid (Spider-Man, X-Men, Animaniacs and Batman being the rest). Was just hilarious and surreal.
Speaking of with, how about a firestorm video, been around since the 70's , two minds, one body as in results of trying to save Professor Stein, in that Ronnie took position of host.... Over the years... They Crafted they're powers.. from that I hope u consider this hero
They got something mixed up: the ants were supposed to be attracted to a giant nougat candy bar; Dinosaur Neil was supposed to be attracted to the giant pair of pants. This sticks out to me only because I was watching the animated series on youtube a few hours before I came across this video! :)

My father loved the show. I liked it, but I remember it just suddenly ended and they kept playing reruns and no new ones came out reminded me of how X-Men ended Playing the Phoenix saga over and over and then no new episodes came out.
2:11 * Shows a Transformers Animated clip not from Sunbow's The Transformers, which we could let slide if it was Autobot Sentinel Prime who has a chin as big as The Tick and was voiced by Towsend Coleman, but it's not so that's a misrepresentation error. *
I realize my comments are being made about a largely trivial, though in my opinion, well made, cartoon; but again, I find a mistake: in The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account, the narrator refers to the Tick's crime tower as an ancient, run-down pigeon coop; however, in the show, the Tick is seen constructing it by hand with lumber he presumably just purchased with Arthur's credit cards! I don't care about the details in the cartoon as much as I do Marvelous Videos' reputation; up until now, I had thought their content was well-researched and informative. Now, doubts begin to surface. %(
Former classmate of Benjamin Edlund here. The episode was based on actual credit card fraud committed in our neighborhood. Runaway teens stole credit cards to finance illegal DIY 3 season cabins. All because they couldn't access local campgrounds to avoid being homeless. School kids like us were terrified that the police would never let us go to summer camp. In the Tick Universe, however, hilarity ensues.
Wasn't there a movie planned both animated and live action and I recall the Tick appeared in the Mask series and in the Simpsons and crossed swords with Family Guy or was it American Dad and who he really is was revealed it turns out to be bizarre and strange he actually isn't a human but an actually bug made human or the twist is his origin has multiple stories and alien to?

what of the rings of power? It's not cheap and it has damaged the LoTR franchise.
Tbh, I’m glad they canned it. It got really stupid when overkill died and was still going.
Poor Kyrie
Fuuuuuuudge! I actually enjoyed every episode and was hoping for more! Worst news ive heard in a while!

Duckman!
The Tick and Freakazoid. Loved them both
Weird silly cartoon superheroes.
I'm glad someone is talking about this show. This together with Venture Bros. defined a big part of my sense of humor growing up.
Both are fantastic Venture Brothers is my favorite television show of all time
'Am I naked,....or am I never not naked?'....existential question by The Tick...LOL
I absolutely love the tick. I caught glimpses of it when I was a kid but thanks to streaming services I got all caught up with the whole series.
An Underrated Superhero who needs more fan loving
You got it chum!!!
"The deadliest weapon 1974 has to offer." Just perfectly encapsulates the comedic genius of this show.
Superheroes don't make much so he had to buy secondhand. They don't tell you that though.
I always loved the line in his narration “ahh The City…MY The City”
Just found this channel. Loved The Tick. This gives me hope for a freakazoid episode.
I love this show, so underrated.
Still a favorite show of mine, SPOOOOOOOOON!
I love this show. My favorite episode is the one about The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight
That's so weird, I was just thinking about that character for no reason yesterday.
@@00Anjie YEAH BABY!! BECAUSE HES THE BADDEST!!!

I fell in love with this show after they introduced bi-polar bear!
They did such a good job on the live action shows I’m still upset they were canceled.
I watched The Tick religiously as a teenager. It was the central event of my Saturday morning.
Never missed it!
FINALLY!!
Plus the Patrick version is on Tubi for Free.
The Tick's suit is actually his skin/exoskeleton. This was discussed in the comic series that looked on his origin, Luny Bin
Hahaha the tick! Fun times 👍
This show was 99% perfect. Perfect characters, voice acting and one of the best themes of all time. Only reason it isn't perfect is because Batman TAS and Gargoyles exist

Thank you for the awesome video about The Tick! I loved this show growing up, as I'm sure we all did!
My Dad and I miss this Tick so darn much even more than either live action versions because it didn't have typical dirty humor also SPOOOOOOOON!
The cartoon was a masterpiece of humor.
I will always watch any version of the Tick there is. Gimme more.
My favorite episode is the episode which shows the moon getting messed with again, when the "C" is removed and a huge bite is taken out of it by the Galactus-analog Omnipotus.

Must be puzzling too for people like me who never saw this episode (I saw the rest of the second season before catching this one) wondering how the moon got a bite taken out of it.
It was hilarious too, how up until then, the moon was shown to still have "CHA" written on it.

He was worlds better than the British guy . Who thought that was a good casting?

The Tick would never swear or steal coffee, it goes completely against his naive, childish, heroic demeanour. Any damage he causes is incidental and accidental, and he would never steal.
I honestly really liked it a lot imo
I was born in 1980 and honestly think I had the best decades to grow up in 80s kid 90s teen...music,films and no smart phones👍
Awesome I love The Tick show it was the best cartoon I ever seen

I hope you guys cover The Tick comic eventually.
Loved watching reruns of this show! I played the game, read some of the comics, seen the other shows love the tick💙
The joke that made me spit out my soda was the wallet angler line. They go into the sewers and theres a wallet with like a 5 dollar bill sticking out of it. Its a lure used by an angler fish😂
This animated show was so awesome. I would love to see a new cartoon for The Tick someday...
Ben Edlund was from Brockton Massachusetts, about 45 minutes from my house, he did the black and white comic for New England Comics, I have the fist 5 issues.

The episodes can be found on RUclips
“Boils, Zipperneck and Forehead”.. 😂
In the Prime series The Tick playing with baby lobsters is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen
The Tick's print-comic origin was in a safely padded room:
"I knew it was my destiny to be a superhero...Just as I once knew it was my destiny to be Eleanor Roosevelt, but those days are OVER NOW!!"
He doesn't have bunny ears, those are antennae lol.
It's like people've never seen moths with fuzzy antennae...
Aww man I've seen this cartoon when I was 16 & it was the funniest cartoon since GHOSTBUSTERS & TMNT, DAWG THAT WAS AWESOME 🦸♂️
SPOOOOON!
Not rabbit ears. Moths have thick feathery antennae.
I went to a wedding at which the bride walked up the aisle to the Tick theme.
Guns and superheroes don't mix. Seek professional help." -The Tick
No mention of The Tick's catchphrase, SPOOON!!!!?
Wasn't this on comedy central back in the day I also really enjoyed the live action The Tick my favorite live action episode is when Arthur is in an asylum for super heroes

The tick and Arthur are basically Michelangelo and Donatello from the ninja turtles
This shit was funny. That episode where they were attacked by the Swiss😂
“I am mighty ! I have a glow , that you cannot see !” I love the tick so much . Spooon!!!!!
as Arthur always says-"thes not rabbit ears these are antennas"
It's pure genius!
'Fire ME BOY!'.....
i loved this show. wish there was more
The Tick was one of my five favorite ‘toons when I was a kid (Spider-Man, X-Men, Animaniacs and Batman being the rest). Was just hilarious and surreal.
Eek The Cat next please.
Awww this never gets old! ty for these videos. SPOOOOOOON!
Was gunna look up a The tick retrospective a few weeks ago but forgot lol
I remember watching this show on Jetix as a kid, I was always so invested that I'd never change the channel whenever it came on.
Classic 90s toon still cool
Spoooooooon!
Ha my father and I used to watch this and Pinky and the Brain together when I was a little kid.
Spoooooon!!!
I definitely forgot some of the show, cause I would have remembered Bootleg Marvel & DC characters.
Die Fledermaus is pronounced "Dee". It's German for "The" (with feminine nouns)
Also, am I just having a Mandela effect moment, or was the character’s name Crusading Chameleon, not Caped Chameleon?
So this was basically One Punch Man
Great cartoon.
It's a reminder of firestorm villain multiple man with m on the chest
SPOOOOOOOON
Speaking of with, how about a firestorm video, been around since the 70's , two minds, one body as in results of trying to save Professor Stein, in that Ronnie took position of host.... Over the years... They Crafted they're powers.. from that I hope u consider this hero
SPOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
That is the greatest and weirdest battle cry I ever heard. And I love it!
@@djalexander7723 I know Right LOLOLOL
I remember every villains
The Monkees for the win!

Classical Hilariousnes right here Indubitably 🧐
Sarcastro wasn't a villain, he was a superhero in training
The series was fine and just needed more time. Youths were watching across the country.
