  • didnt now this existed!

  • ties for worst rap AND cartoon theme of all time.

  • Laugh all you want about giving MC Hammer a cartoon. If we still had cartoons in 2012 we'd have "Lil' Wayne and the Young Money Detectives" on.

  • Now I know why white people called us niggers

  • sadly i kinda remember watching this when i was a kid... it's a vague memory but ya it's there

  • Man, the song really breaks down around 0:20. It wasn't that bad before that, but then it just...breaks.

  • @SuperSmashBrosGmod "Hammer M.C." Fighter!! "Daytime/Nightime Super Smash Bros Brawl" Coming Soon... Training!!

  • I prefer Vanillaman, personally.

  • A white person probably wrote this song

  • Comment removed

  • There is a long list of shitty saturday morning cartoons from my childhood years. Its really bad when you thought it sucked as a kid...like this that Macaulay Culkin show,back to the furture, bill and ted. basically any cartoons based off movies. Just shows like trying to cash in on movies to video games the cartoon was just as bad with no creativity just slap together overnight to sell shit to kids...

  • @Souper13

    Back to the Future wasn't that bad of a cartoon. Sure it wasn't as good as the movies and didn't feature Marty allot.

    But it wasn't bad.

  • @AquaDelusion lol.....its called ebonics.

  • I remember watching this when I was a kid. This and a cartoon with Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretsky and Michael Jordan.

  • @TroyDavidAlexander I literally was just having this conversation w/my cousin 2 days ago. I was dissing hammerman & my cousin remembers us (me & my bro) always talking shit about it in back when it was on and I told her about this cartoon and she remembered it, it was called 'Pro stars' the intro is in the related vids. I always say it's one thing to think something is shit in retrospect but when you always thought it was crap esp when you are a little kid...that is one crappy show.

  • HAMMERMAN OHHH NO :D

  • Seems to me he has a magic dictionary. It makes any word rhyme with any word that it's jammed in with.

  • Comment removed

  • One of the greatest videos I had the chance to watch. When is Lil Wayne gonna make a saturday morning cartoon?

  • Magic... SHOES you say??

  • Wow this theme song really exposes what a terrible rapper mc hammer was HAHAHA

  • where's the magical thong from pumps and a bump

  • I can't believe I've actually seen this show before.

  • The beginning of the end for such a talented rapper...sigh..

  • Do I really need to watch the show after that?

  • Guys watched Hammer Man.

    Girls watched NKOTB.

  • mc hammer is the master of enjambment

  • When watching cartoon intros on Youtube, no matter WHAT year they were made, no matter how terrible they are, the top comment is always, "Man, this was the golden age of cartoons! These people really CARED about what they were doing, unlike today! Bring back _____!"

    EXCEPT this one.

  • @Gravidtron lmao ur right

  • Did... Did that just happen? I think I'm slowly going blind in my right eye.

  • This is "The Room" of Saturday Morning intros.

  • HI IM JIMMIE

    I JUST DID A DANICNG VIDEO TO

    MC HAMMER STOP CANT TOUCH THIS

    AND ES IT GETS INTENSE

    HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT :)

  • Sheesh, no wonder he went bankrupt

  • I think he wrote the song right before the show premiered

  • imagine if DMX or Snoop dog got their hands on the magical shoes

  • @capnhands They sell them for weed.

  • Fuck, I can talk over music too. "So I got on the internet; and I checked Yahoo Mail; my in-box was empty; God I need a life;

    NEED A LIFE, NEED A

    NEED A LIFE, NEED A

  • I Luvz me some MC Hammer. i want to watch this...now!

  • Was that the intro to the actual show? That was way too long, I tuned out after about 20 seconds

  • HAMMUH, HAMMUH, HAMMUH MAYUN!

  • Is the description a typo or an intentional joke?

  • This intro goes into way more detail on the backstory than is really needed.

  • For years I thought this show didn't exist and it was nothing more than my childhood imagination.

    >mfw it actually DID exist

  • I love this show!!

  • @AquaDelusion lmaoooo word

  • @AquaDelusion Lots of rappers do that.

  • He rhymed man with man ._.

  • @Leterren No, he rhymed "man" with "Hammerman." Two different words.

  • yes, ive been askin people if they remembered this for years, no one ever di, was starting to think id dreamed it

  • My favorite part of the video is the granddaughter flailing around at that one point in the middle.

    I also like that this video of a cartoon about MC Hammer requires controversy.

    Hehe. Mourning. ^J^

  • I'm sorry, but this is not a Saturday 'Mourning' Cartoon. This is a Saturday MORNING cartoon — the junk THESE days that kids watch are Saturday MOURNING cartoons. (Because everyone who remembers when cartoons used to actually be GOOD is MOURNING for them! Get it? :D)

  • @KizulEmeraldfire

    Wait are you seriously trying to convince us that old cartoons are great and modern cartoons suck in the comments for a video for Hammer Man?

  • @saundebn

    Actually, I was mostly just making fun of a typo in the description of this video — but, now that you mention it, yeah. Most (not ALL, of course, but MOST) of the cartoons from the '80s and early- to mid-'90s were far better than the stuff that's on today. >.>

    For example: the new 'TMNT' cartoon is okay, but it lacks a lot of the character that the old 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' cartoon had. Sure, it was corny — but it was more creative! It didn't just reuse the comic's stories.

  • The new one is certainly better in terms of animation quality, and the stories are (or, at the very least, were) much deeper than its predecessor's, but for some reason, when I watch the new one — it just seems more 'same old, same old', and more predictable than the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.

  • Also: the theme song of the old T.M.N.T. cartoon is far, FAR better than that of 'TMNT'. :| Even the new TMNT GAMES aren't all that great compared to the old ones — but I blame KONAMI and Ubisoft for that, not the cartoon.

    Granted, I've only actually PLAYED the GBA neo-TMNT games, but I've seen videos of some of the other ones (like Turtles in Time: Reshelled), and… they're just not as good in my opinion. :(

    However, this is just MY personal opinion. I don't expect many to agree with me. :p

  • @KizulEmeraldfire it didn't re-use comic stories because it couldn't to keep its PG rating. i actually think the new series was handled much MUCH better, though it did at times feel restricted from going places the original comics did due to the overly graphic nature of the originals.

    Also, most cartoons from the 90's are better than modern shows. The 80's were very VERY weak.

  • b/w this and "pumps and a bump," methinks MC Hammer has a shoe fetish.

  • @sydandtaytum yes more than cant touch this. he had pray, have you seen her, too legit to quit, hell, even pumps and a bump...his first album was one of the fastest selling and highest rated albums of that time...the early 90s. while youre on youtube, just type in his name. better yet google it.

  • @txsgul Thank you!

  • @txsgul Oh, and don't forget "Addams Groove."

  • ...wow, i thought i was bad at rapping.

  • I love how he worships himself in this song lol 

  • @qmeche123 He wrote the song based on the story concocted by the creators of the series. Where do you see him "worshiping" himself?

  • So he stole James Brown's shoes to have magical powers? Sounds about it

  • @Aznar245 How do you figure "stole?"

  • @MaskedMan66 as in this cartoon was a ripoff

  • @Aznar245 A ripoff of what? And you said he stole James Brown's shoes.

  • @MaskedMan66 its figurative.. don't question what i said ok? just a cartoon

  • @Aznar245 Too late, I did question. And I'm asking this now, what was this show figuratively ripping off? Bearing in mind that Hammer is one of the biggest James Brown fans in the world, and even got the Godfather of Soul to play himself in the video for "2 Legit 2 Quit."

  • @MaskedMan66 shut the fuck up bitch

  • @Aznar245 And a pleasant day to you too, sir! :-)

  • It truly is a saturday mourning cartoon because it leads me to mourn this man's career.

  • P.Diddy didn't have anything on M.C Hammer back in those days in fact P.Diddy wasn't even known. But now its the other way around. Who is M.C Hammer? But yes I remember on Saturday mornings watching this

  • @misterjgl Everybody remembers him, or at least is familiar with "U Can't Touch This." But that's showbiz; nobody stays on top forever. Another 20 years, P. Diddy will be in the same boat.

  • hahaha I remember this..from the 90's aired on saturdays on ch 7

  • Oh GAWD!!!! I remember this shit!! This came out when i was just 11y.o. WORST FUCKING CARTOON EVER!! Shit....i'd rather be tied down and forced to watch reruns of Fantastic Max. Lol!!!

  • @jkillah999 I'm gonna have to say this is at least 3 times better than C-Bear & Jamal.

  • mc hammer was far from a one hit wonder. and back when this cartoon first came out, it was the shyt. but then again, that was back around 1990. but yeah, in no way was mc hammer a one hit wonder.

  • @txsgul really? cause i can only remember lyrics to one of his songs...which i think is what makes a 'one hit wonder'... maybe he had other songs that charted, but no one remembers them/cares.

  • magical shoes! now this is a ghetto azz cartoon lmao!

  • Oh man no wonder hes a one hit wonderXD

  • Biggie watch out.

  • Wow, you REALLY have to try to be this bad.

  • FUCK YEAH Hammerman's the hammer!

  • the granddaughter is cute though.

  • Anybody involved in the creation of this 'show' ought to be embarased.

  • I dont remember but a lil bit of this cartoon it used to come on ABC channel 7 in New Jersey.

  • The intro is the greatest thing ever compared to the actual show. The words 'choppy animation' can't even begin to describe this show.

  • RIP Hammer Man: Sept. 1991 – Dec. 1991

  • I need this show in my life

  • I can't believe I remember this show.

  • MC Hammer is the reason why rap artists don't creat saturday morning cartoons starring themsevs.

  • @Chibiwaza

    Is that a bad thing? He pretty Much saved us.

    Think of... a lil Wayne Cartoon...

  • Your mom is "worthy of the load" 0:40

  • This is the show that ended his career

  • i love this theme

  • HA that is so cool.....my last name is Hammerman

  • Saturday Mourning Cartoon? No wonder the 90s were so depressing!

  • LMAO wow something reminded of this show damn.........this with them two broads that was trying to steal his shoes.

  • I think I liked this show when I was really little, but forgot it for almost twenty years.

  • I loved the episode where Hammerman rescues a guy from his kidnappers, only to find out that the guy wants to go back. Brings me back.

  • I used to watch this show when I was young. LOL!

  • It's a cartoon starring MC Hammer. How do you mess that up?! Even if there wasn't much else, the sheer campyness of the premise should of made it at least a little funny to watch, but they somehow ruined that too.

  • omg...You have to be kidding me.

  • You would have had to have grown up during this time to know just how big MC Hammer was.

  • @tapiaassasin exactly.... he was like a god....

  • Oh man, I remember getting up at 5am to watch this in England when I was a kid, lmao.

  • Imagine if Snoop dog got those shoes

  • @capnhands o.o Oy vey......

  • @capnhands

    ...no imagine if ICP got them..... good god.... horrifying 

  • I know it's a bloody awful song, but I was still singing HAMMER MAN, HAMMER all day at work today

  • Wow.. what an abortion of a song.

  • I think I have Exposition Poisoning.

  • I'm trying to pretend that this bad acid trip didn't happen.

  • is this song about james brown givin him shoes?

  • @rawwshard I thought so too.

  • 13 episodes. Wow.

  • I was all over this cartoon as a child! The theme song was AWFUL, but I watched it to death!

  • Haha. Silly Rob. "I loved that cartoon, it was genius! They don't make cartoons like that anymore." Seriously? No...seriously? ;)

  • I wonder if his magical shoes were British Knights?

  • @Locnar79

    Is that a reference to the Victor character The Hammer Man?

  • thanks for posting this. This brought back memories. I used to love this cartoon. I was 9 years old when it came out.

  • Wow.....

  • I loved this show when I was little! I actually thought Hammer actually had magical talking shoes, of course I was 4 at the time!

  • The whole thing is gey. I hate this show when I was a kid.

  • @blastardinc this shyt was stoopid then & it is now. wheres kid n play?

  • classic

  • This long ass theme song, LMFAO! But I did watch this growing up.

  • MC Hammer is like the power glove. So bad.

  • Just god awful lyrics...he didn't even try to make it rhyme or flow well. The cartoon looks like it isn't much better.

  • I remember watching this when I was in kindergarten.  I didn't realize until just now how awesomely bad it was.

  • shit sound like 50 tyson

  • My brain was just raped

  • LOL that's just awful lol.

  • My brain just turned to mush from being mind-fucked so hard....

  • Woah what the hell man.

    What the hell.

  • the theme song is a summary of the first episode LMAO

  • LMFAO man havent seen this in YEARS! God thats awful rapping lol this and the super mario bros cartoon used to come on . Good ole saturday morning cartoons X)

    Wake up at 7am, watch bob ross then cartoons til noon lol Then watch Conan the Barbarian movie, or another classisc, CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR! then go outside.

  • ...The fuck did I just watch?

    That was the funniest theme song I've ever heard!

    "So Gramps opened up the bag! And took out the magical shoes!" XD

  • thumbs up if you think the theme song is rancid

  • Words cannot explain how horrible this is.

  • Stop! ...watching this, please.

  • SO GRAMPS OPENED UP THE BAG

    AND TOOK OUT THE MAGICAL SHOES

    These lyrics don't exactly roll off the tongue

  • i grow up whit this cartoon I LOVE IT 

  • he did an excellent job rhyming "man" and "man".

  • @irrh No rule says you can't use a word to rhyme with itself; listen to the second verse of "Suddenly Last Summer" by the Motels.

  • @MaskedMan66 Sadly, you're right. Rules like that don't exist... which is exactly why we have terrible music from acts like MC Hammer and The Motels.

  • @irrh Which proves that this is the only Hammer you've ever heard and that you've never heard anything by the Motels.

  • Comment removed

  • I wanna see gramps with the shoes on soul man

  • @rockycrackcrack They did do an episode with him in, actually.

  • ...SEARCHIN'!

  • This premise is so awful that it is awesome.

  • omfg i havent seen this since i was five

  • im a trusting guy but this whole story sounds a bit unbelieveable..

  • lol............some of us thought this was hott

  • Sweet more Youtube Poop material!

  • "Yo, Hammer! We have 15 minutes of studio time left to write a theme for that cartoon!"

    "Fifteen? Naw, man--- I can do it in five!"

  • @MrWoofington And it still managed. The tune itself isn't bad-and the tune, more than the words are the most important. Though it says something-probably about me-that I remember the words and the tune 10 years after seeing the show.

  • @MrWoofington hahahah you killed it with that one.. LMAO!!

  • @MrWoofington lmao..classic!!!

  • @MrWoofington :9 youre right

  • this whole show sounds like its adlibed

    

  • It's odd when the theme song for an animated comedy makes you laugh unintentionally. There's just something inherently funny about the phrase "magical shoes".

  • This show makes me embarrassed to be black if there was a top 3000 list of horrible

    Poorly written no effort put into it but the opening theme song cartoon this wud be it most 90s cartoon animation was poor but this made show makes wunt to shit a bottle of abotime

  • I watched every episode of this when I was a kid. I just realized that it maybe the worst theme song ever.

  • So many lame Saturday morning shows based on real people.New Kids On The Block,John Candy''s Camp Candy,Kid N' Play and this.I know I might be missing some....

  • Huh. It's like watching the whole show in under a minute...

  • Sounds like hes just telling his friends a crazy dream he had.

  • @GashisDX LMAO....

  • HAMMER MAN. HAMMER.

    TWO HOUR TOUR. HOUR.

    HAMMER MAN. HAMMER.

    TWO HOUR TOUR. HOUR.

  • ...I never watched the show, and I'm not much for rap, but that was just... painful.

    And somehow hilarious. Thumbs up.

  • This is the funniest thing that I have ever seen.

  • This is funny as hell although for the wrong reasons

  • Was watching the 1991 Falcons/Redskins playoff game on YouTube and heard Verne Lundquist joke that the Falcons were going to listen to some Hammer music at halftime (referring to the Falcons adopting the "2 Legit to Quit" song as their theme).

    I joked to myself after I heard that comment that (considering they lost) coach Jerry Glanville must have played this show's theme in the locker room.

  • this is the joint

  • Damn!!!
