What was the best of these? And what was the worst?

What was the best of these? And what was the worst?

Definitely the worst right here. It's like the worst aspects of Ren and Stimpy rolled into one pilot

And what was the worst?

Every short Butch Hartman participated in.

This is a close second, though. All it needs to be good is John K, ironically.

The best is Hillbilly Blue because I still want to fuck Mortichae.

Every short Butch Hartman participated in.

I wouldn't say worst, just very generic for their time.

Yucky Duck, Sledgehammer O' Possum and George and Junior shorts for worst. They're just so ugly looking. What's worse, the 3rd of these uses Tex Avery's property and ruins it.

Nigga, that’s one of the best. I’d say the worst ones are the ones by Pat Ventura because of the shitty animation.

Animation wise, it's great, but 1/4 of the runtime is looped animation and fart noises.

Hands down this one’s the best of the ones that didn’t get turned into shows.

Speaking of Pat, he has his own blogspot.

remember all the zoomers pearl clutching about the one with the cat getting cartoonishly abused
the drawings are fun to look at but thats all those really have going

I always liked Bagboy! and was mad it never got turned into a series. I even baggered my Grandmother into helping connect to the internet with our old Dial-Up Connection so I could go on the Cartoon Network website and vote for it in the "Next Cartoon Network Star" contest or whatever it was but they ended up going with Megas XLR instead.

Memorable for all the wrong reasons.

the farting over the credit roll

never saw this one before...i thought it rocked.

fuckin’ crushes cockroach with his teeth

cockroach later shows up alive without explanation

check creator’s YT account

those views

Bruh…

The old guy hooked up to the oxygen tank was my favorite.

Huh, interesting watch. I saw one episode and it was 'decent', but it does feel wrong for someone who has worked in the industry to be making these relatively high budget cartoons for so little fanfare. Not even furries are flocking to it.

Here's all of them
youtube.com/watch?v=VEn87UwwOe0

5 of these shorts directly leading into series(and all of them being pretty successful ones at that) and another two shorts indirectly leading to two other shows(albeit not at CN, though they'd get quite a bit out of Family Guy anyways) out of 48 total shorts says to me that What a Cartoon was definitely a success even with more than a few clunkers and failures among the bunch

course then comparing it to the Cartoon Cartoon Show era shorts which had 6 shorts become series out of 34 which is a somewhat higher ratio but only two of those shows(GAOBAM and KND) had any long term success so a bit more of a mixed bag

next if we take a look at Oh Yeah! Cartoons over at Nickelodeon(both because it used a similar format in general and because it was created by WAC creator Fred Seibert after he left CN), it has a much larger amount of shorts at 96, but only three shows emerged out of it and only one of them(FOP) was particularly successful(and even that's hampered by Nelvana owning the international rights to the first couple seasons rather than them) so not the best results for Nick

and finally looking at Random! Cartoons(which was originally conceived as being a fourth season for Oh Yeah! Cartoons) we have 39 shorts but of them only one got picked up as a show by Nickelodeon("Fanboy" as Fanboy & Chum Chum) which was kind of a wet fart for the network, especially when two other shorts(both of Pendleton Ward's shorts Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors) got picked up as series elsewhere with one of them becoming one of CN's biggest hits ever

kind of interesting to see how these pilot short programs worked out really well for Cartoon Network(even the abortive Cartoonstitute resulted in them getting Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa out of it) while Nickelodeon only ever got middling at best results out of it

Well this is just sad. I'm going to watch and comment on all of them now.

I forgot all about Mina and the Count I loved that one

Sounds like an executive problem.

digits

Nice

All it needs to be good is John K, ironically

And we’d still be waiting on it

it was actually close to becoming a series, but that didn't happen.

I would have watched the fuck out of a Buzz Cheeply series. That pilot had great characters.

Best is Dexter's Lab pilot. Worst anything by Pata VeXHP44ntura.

no

i'd associate it more with OY!C anyways
though i preferred the style/animation of the WAC short over the rest produced at OY!C

Of those that didn't make it, Captain Buzz and Tales of Worm Paranoia were the best. The worst would be Zoonatiks, Yucky Duck and O Ratz

Best

Buy One Get One Free

Worst

Yucky Duck

I remember seeing this as a kid. It's very well animated, but I don't find it terribly entertaining.

The squishing noises and the intro always make me laugh

IT SHOULD ON TO YOURSELVEEEEES YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING

Probably because furries don't know.
That said, do they have any big artists anymore? That one person who was THE BIG ARTIST for furs, but never makes it into the big time because they are NSFW or something.

Behead those who insult worm

I have that cow chicken vhs

you were better off riding off of john's coattails, eddie.

Looks dead unfortunately. But it did lead me to find his later two shorts, Jamal the Frog and Dangerous Duck Brothers. These two are actually pretty good and well animated to boot! It's a shame it looks like he left the industry just as he was hitting his stride.

I REALLY liked this one as a kid and forgot all about it
thanks for unlocking an ancient memory
