  • I remember this along with another one where two guys play guitar and one becomes famous for playing the tune wrong. and the "Jumping" animated short. Also the live action Frog Comes to Dinner.

  • I'm looking for one of the short takes I believe was called "the butcher." It's a crazy butcher who accidentally hacks off his finger and then goes nuts and hacks up the rest of his body. Very bloody. That's how I remember it, anyway. Can anyone help??

  • I have been looking for this for YEARS!

    Thanks so much for posting it!

  • now all we need to is find all the "sports cartoons" and that one where they cook with all the weird green ingredients, anyone know what im talking about, with 3 chefs i think?

  • HOLY SH!T, NO FUCK!NG WAY! I totally stopped looking for this, same as the other poster I was looking for the Rock and Roll Pet "Shop" and man it is good to see this. I used to wake up at 6.a.m. to try to catch it on Nickelodeon in the morning, in like 1987. Thanks for posting this, one of the best youtube finds ever! So funny how many people liked the exact same thing as me, like the bird and when the lizard turns plaid and the guitar riff, wow, that made my day!

  • I totally remember seeing this on Nickelodeon!

  • my daughter was a toddler when this came out.... my granddaughter is 9... somethings are just cool forever.

  • I knew this wasn't a false memory!! Epic! I love when the lizard turns to plaid!

  • This almost brings a tear to my eye, i loved this so much as a kid, i like others have been searching for this. Even the guitar riff haunted my own guitar playing, ive had that riff in my head for over 25 years.

  • does anyone know about the one where a guy was cracking an egg, and a little voice says, "who is it? Stop that!" then the guy crushes the egg? Then he hears a knock on his door.... LoL

  • @dmarco46 That would be 'The Killing of an Egg' by Paul Driessen. :)

  • @strangelove262 ok smartguy (an actual compliment) what about the one where this cat keeps asking its owners for cream and the house is catching on fire?? (same era of HBO)

  • @dmarco46 You know, that sounds awfully familiar but I don't know the name of that one. I only remember Killing of an Egg because it was on Liquid Television. :)

  • I have been looking for this for at least 5 years. Thanks for posting!

  • This is the coolest little rock song!!  :-)

  • I loved this as a kid, thanks for the flashback!

  • It has been ages since I last saw this! The chameleon dancing is my favorite.

  • I remember Rock and Roll Pet Store from the 1970's. I used to be on a show called The Intentional Animated Film Festival. I think it was on the BBC. It has been a life time since I have seen it. Thank you so much for bringing it back.

  • I get chills when I see this. Not because it's that good, but because it used to air on Nickelodeon waaaaay back when Nickelodeon was good and I hadn't seen it since I was probably five. Awesome. Thanks, YouTube!

  • @bucksworthmcgee I know how you feel! I know how you feel! That smiling chameleon brings me WAY BACK! I am 32...likely we're near the same age. Remember when Nickelodeon had GOOD SHOWS?!

  • Thank you soooo much for posting this! It's been ages, but that song came back like it was yesterday.

  • i remember this one!!!

  • I remember this being on Nickelodeon :) I loved this short! Thanks for uploading it!! I have been looking for it forever!

  • That USA Network cartoon was Fantastic Planet, use to air on USA Night Flight.

  • There used to be a full length movie cartoon on HBO around the time this existed. All I can remember is that there was a group of people, with one of them being this arrogant super hero who wanted to wash his cape. That's seriously all I can remember.....and I probably saw it 10 times. It was probably one of the very few full length animated movies that HBO would have played. Anyone know?

  • You might look up the cartoon twice apon a time. I think this may be what you are looking for.

  • @LtStarkiller You're talking about "Twice Upon A Time". Released copies are heavily cut, but the original uncut copy is posted on YouTube. After you watch it and all the memories come flooding back, also look up (from the same user) the original end credits - he altered them, but posted the original music after enough fans protested. The cape bit: inept superhero-in-training Rod Rescueman must launder his cape before he can save Flora Fauna, who is in the process of falling from a great height.

  • Wow I remember this. Does anyone remember these two HBO shorts?

    One where a guy is a tape editor or something and the tape unwinds and chases him till it eats him.

    The other a trippy frog with a guitar singing some old late 60's early 70's type rock music.

  • The tape one is called Recorded Live and it's on Youtube!  :-)

  • yep

  • does anyone remember a late nite cartoon on the usa network ? its about giant blue alien humanoids that have humans as pets ? if anyone knows the name of the show PLz let me know .

  • AHHHHH ! the good old days .

  • YES!!!! OMG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SINCE THE 80s!!! I LOVE THIS!!!

  • i remember this being on niceklodeon between shows when i was little as well!!! thanks so much been looking for this everywhere!!!!

  • Been looking for that plaid chameleon for a long time!

  • watch this video and then listen to the song "rocker" by ACDC. It sounds similar.

  • Thanks so much for posting this; I've wanted to see it again for at least twenty-five years! I would describe it to everyone in hopes someone else saw it, but nobody believed me... Now I can prove it wasn't a fever hallucination when I was little :)

  • YES! This was my favorite short take! Thank you for posting this!!!

  • I have been looking for this for YEARS!!! Thank you!!!

  • Does anybody remember a singing frog cartoon? I remember it either being on HBO Short Takes or on Nickelodeon or both. It was singing frogs and other small animals. In one part a couple of frog faces appear out of blooming flowers then they turn into stars or moons and fade to silhouettes. At the end all of the animals are singing together at a party. A mouse is playing the piano with a mask on backwards on its head. Kind of a rock song. Probably from the 70s. Anybody remember that?

  • In case no one answered your question , I do remember that short toon with the frog . . billy squire sings it = rock me tonight .... good old days . laters

  • Yes!...thank you soooo much! Please don't ever remove this. I too watched HBO just because there was a chance it would come on..... The chameleon changing colors was my favorite part and the dancing rabbits was mom's.

  • HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP!!! I have been trying to track down this cartoon for at least a *decade* now! I *loved* this as a kid!! I used to sit through boring grownup movies for hours Just For This! :D

  • It was one of my favorites too. :) Glad I could help another fan find it.

  • @kyranthia OMG! I tried finding this on imdb... no luck.. Google... wrong name. Rock and Roll Pet Store (I had put in "petshop"). I LOVE THIS! Thanks for posting. I had an urge to see that smiling and color changing chameleon! Thank you for posting this! I saw this in the mornings on Nickelodeon back in the 1980s, early days, when it didn't suck! This was real programming! Love the rocking pets, dancing bunnies, and all the memories. Thank you so much! Go YOUTUBE and Go YOU!

  • @AlexReynard Same here, bro.
