Interestingly enough, this is not the original version of this commercial. I don't remember what the original line Shaggy said was when they pulled into the diner, but Droopy still said "I can't see over the wheel."
boy we were stupid when we were kids. looking at this video now, i understood everything perfectly. back in the day, i just sat on the floor, clapping, laughing, and bouncing at anything. we've come a long way, haven't we?
Man, back when Cartoon Network was a quality channel. It's a shame that most channels these days are all about ratings and money. Not about the kids anymore.
@VDogg187 You don't consider CGI as cartoons? Even John Kricfalusi, who's really disdainful of modern culture, is comfortable with CGI and is entirely digital himself.
@Overhazard Cartoons were great when everything was hand drawn and animated back in the day. Those were true cartoons, which is what made Cartoon Network good back in the day. The CGI stuff we have today has pushed CN into the tank IMO.
"Also, Shaggy LIES. The American Cartoon Network is very much unlike the others in that, for a while, it was one of the few Cartoon Networks to be its own channel and the only 24/7 version."
You do realise its just a Pulp Fiction parody, right?
Ah, the good old day when they could parody movies like Pulp Fiction. I didn't get it back then, but I still liked the promo and I appreciate it more today because of what I now know.
Haha, I remember this. When I was a kid, I remember not "getting" this commercial, because I was too young to know what the Metric System was or what Morocco was. I always ignored this commercial when it came on because I always thought it lasted too long. xD
I knew how the metric system worked, and I looked on a globe to know where Morocco was, but it wasn't until recently that I found out this references Pulp Fiction.
I often ignored this commercial because I, too, never found it too interesting. It also showed ALL THE TIME.
I don't like Tim and Eric Awesome Show either...but a lot of people seem to. It's going to be at least a three-season show, meaning they've done something right.
oh crap! Lol i totally said that one wrong. I meant IGPX on toonami. F-zero gx? How in the world was I thinking of that?? sorry abbout that. yeah that giant robot racing IGPX, not the futuristic car racing f-zero GX.
Ah! I'm familiar with IGPX too. It never went to Adult Swim; it stayed on Toonami during its entire run. I also don't remember any cursing in it in the episodes I saw.
No offense to them, but what's cartoon network's deal with swearing? Remember that Sunday pants show that aired on sundays at 8:00? The last episode they aired had repeated use of profane words, and a pretty bad refrence to feiceis. They also aired who framed roger rabbit, leaving the bad words in the baby sequence at the beginning un-censored. And remember that toonami show f-zero GX? look at the videos they had on before it moved to adult swim!
Cartoon Network, historically speaking (as far as animation channels go), has had lower censorship standards than Nickelodeon or Toon Disney. They allow occasional swearing because they figure it's not going to do any harm or leave any significant impression.
The F-Zero cartoon first showed up in North America on 4KidsTV, and I don't think it ever moved from there. Are you actually referring to Gundam Wing?
Lower censorship standards? Then what about how they sold out when they refused to air those last two episodes of Boondocks season 2 because they wanted to appease BET? Isn't that censorship?
I keep forgetting to watch that show...I didn't even know that happened. I'll have to look more into that to get the full story before I can give you an opinion. From what you say, however, that isn't censorship at all, but power disputes. Bullying isn't censorship.
If you look at what Cartoon Network has traditionally allowed its shows to do, compared with those of Toon Disney or Nickelodeon, it's HAD lower censorship rules. It's been praised and criticized for that. Look it up.
I had an old videotape with me, and as I was watching it, I found this. My setup already has a VCR attached to the video capture device, so I just hit record.
I'm so glad I heard an opinion like this. Uploading old Cartoon Network commercials tends to get stuff like "CARTOON NETWORK NEEDS TO DIE BRING BACK DEXTER PPG COW AND CHICKEN ARGH" and it just puts me in a sour mood.
I upload this only because it's no longer on TV and I found it on videotape.
I can explain why people think the way they do: Selective memory. People remember stuff they like and forget things they don't like. Because of this, people only remember good shows from long ago, but the bad shows to come recently are too new for people to have forgotten. This is how fortune tellers work, by the way: The things they predict that don't happen, their clients will forget.
Sounds plausible. I can remember a bunch of cartoons that I loved as a kid but I don't recall any of the ones I disliked until someone says, "Hey Aurora did you watch ______ when you were a kid?" or something like that.
Heh, I saw plenty of bad cartoons on Cartoon Network in its "glory days" too. Do you remember The Roman Holidays, The Gary Coleman Show, Back to Bedrock, Capitol Critters, and Grape Ape? I saw all of those too, and none of those angry videos demanding Cartoon Network bring back the old shows never mention those.
