Someone at TV Tropes mentioned this was made by some of the people who worked on Ren& Stimpy, also the musiic when Johnny's explaining the world is foul and evil, is the music they used on Ren & Stimpy when a character was going insane.
i remember staring blankly at this cartoon without realizing what was going on cept maybe the squishing of the worm part....probably cuz i was so young but now that im looking back at this cartoon i find it just fucking hilarious, cuz the dramatic-ness of the life of an insignificant worm
What A Cartoon! was in my opinion, the epitome of hardcore 90's cartoons! I am 22 and i still enjoy the traditional humourous gags and the wacky and unusual plots of each short! If you compare every WAC short to all the new CN shows, it's obvious which one will come out on top :) What A Cartoon show was what made Cartoon Network the BEST! Along with 2 Stupid Dogs and Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, it's one of my most favourites on that channel, and always will be :') anyone else agree?
I loved cartoons like these as a kid. While it was a little disturbing, I still preferred it over Disney. Probably because I felt more different feelings while watching these cartoons instead of all the friendly ass-kissing cartoons with the default bad-guy.
It's obviously aping Ren and Stimpy pretty hard, but actually this is a lot better looking and more competently made than John K's own Ren and Stimpy Adult Party on Spike.
to me the intro song is the definision of cartoon network, cause its the only thing i remember from back then besides cow and chicken. and both series scared me
The animation is impressive, but the short in general just feels like it's trying WAY too hard to be the Ren & Stimpy show. But then, that was the case with a lot of cartoons in the 90's.
Gosh i miss these cartoons..i really wish that they put these back on air and take all of the whack stuff off....this cartoon, personally, is great...when i was younger i didnt think nothin about it but as i watch it now there's a meanin behind it.....this really need to be put back on cartoon network and the shows that are on there today need to be removed....they need to bring back all of the good cartoons from back in the day.....but like i said in the beginnin great cartoon=)
I never saw this one when i was younger...but this is the funniest short cartoon ever. My friends and I have been laughing non stop at the"peace man" and "gotta get that exercise."
I remember watching this when I was 6, 7 or 8 years old and it disturbed me and I didn't get the humor, but now I'm 20 and this is the funniest shit I've ever seen! Although it is still disturbing haha!
I used to love this as a kid, but rediscovering it now, in my 20s, I can appreciate it far more. This kind of creative freedom and bravery is all too lacking these days, regardless of whether you enjoyed this or not.
What a cartoon was probably one of the most interesting things cartoon network was doing during the 90s. giving a animator sutch freedom was very innovating.
I love this stuff, because it's so odd ball and strange at times. But remember that this spawned some of the classics like dexter's laboratory and the powerpuff girls.
DUDE EXAAAAAAAAAAAACLY , EVEN NOW AT 15 I REMEMBER THE FEAAAR I FELT NOW 7-8 YEARS AGO !!! GODDAMNIT NOW I REMMEBER HOW CRAPPED I FELT !!! PLEASE SO MUCH PEOPLE I DONT NEED THUMBS UP BUT ANSWER ME IF YOU HAD THE SAME PROBLEM !!! PLEASE !
yeahh...who does not remember these cartoons before now not only ben 10 is not bored before we should make a protest or something to put these drawings before the original good, let kids do it! the seasons change, but these cartoons will always be a classic, reminds me too much my nines I have 20 years and I keep seeing on youtube, to return these cartoons, I loved Dexter's Laboratory hahaha was good among others, bye guys! I support pdt
i wish this was back on but i haven't got kids channels anymore :( im 15 and i wish all the old cartoon were on instead of some of the crap and not be on at stupid o clock and thanks for putting this up :)
@Joemamma69000 nope, his name is only listed in special thanks, but Eddie Fitzgerald, Bob Jacques, and Kelly Armstrong have all worked at Spumco. I don't think John K's character designs are typically this geometrically rounded, they typically have more angles to them.
No, but he did work on the Ren and Stimpy Adult Party cartoon, and like John, is a veteran animator who was mostly forced to work on generic pap for much of his career.
Given how much this feels like a Spumco cartoon, I'm surprised it took until 2003 for him to work with them, but he was mostly busy with Tiny Toons and Animaniacs back in the day.
The LOWlands! What a shame this didn't become a series. But on the other hand, I can't see how they ever expected this to be popular with little kids.
I watched all the what a cartoon vids and this one i do not remember at all, i could about quote the others but i dont think i ever saw this one for some reason
This is possibly the most disturbing kids' cartoon I've ever seen. And I LOVE IT!
