    . . . I probably shouldn't have ate while watching this.
    You know, I really liked Megas XLR.

    I think I remember that short! Anyways, this was an interesting FF Shorts, because I watched those Cartoon Cartoon shorts when I was younger.

    Actually I am glad to see this cartoon got aborted before it got turned into a series. A stupid premise, lame animation, and unimaginative plots does not a good show make.

    Still, enjoyed watching this episode of Familiar Faces/Shorts.

    I don't remember this, but I do recall having heard the phrase "Fungus Amungus" about a million times when I was a kid... and I LOVE Futurama...

    Wait, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty shear codename: kids next door was in that contest and won. low brow got 2nd and wasn't made into a series in till later (a year or so).

    WOW! Someone actually remembers this short besides me. That and that summer of cartoons thing which was done 3 times. That's how Megas XLR, Billy and Mandy or Grim & Evil, and Kids Next Door Started out.

    Looking back on this short, yeah, that part where they burn that germ alive scarred my fragile little mind back then.

    i remember it !! holy crap....i didnt think it was that dark lol ofcourse i ....watched anime backed then and saw ten times worse xD
  • CaptainAndy27
    Didn't Codename Kids Next Door get made into a series from a short like Megas XLR (which by the way is an amazing show.)

    I never saw this particular short, but I remember a good amount of them being pretty good. This one also didn't look bad. Nice video CR. I always like seeing your stuff. =D

    That would've beeen a great series, but maybe it was more fun for adults than for kids, so they didn't pick it :/

    Holy shit! I loved Cartoon Network's Summerfest me and my friends watched the marathon at his house that weekend and thought the cartoons were all pretty interesting and I've been trying to remember all the titles that they premiered. I know my one of favorites was Private Eye Princess, I loved the voice actress they had for her, too bad I can't find the clip. In fact, I have a hard time finding a bunch of the clips and names of the shows. It's bizarre. But man back then Cartoon Network was really creative and took some cool chances and did a lot to entertain kids these days they still have some fun cartoons but they could use to ditch CN Real.

    Great vid, CR.

    Wonder if that short's anywhere on YouChoob...

    Funny as always CR. I am curious, does Cartoon Network still do Summerfest to find new talent? It seems like it would be a pretty cool way to get some new ideas out there and see the stars of the future!

    The short itself...meh. I working out cleaning horrors every episode would be kind of hard. It would be like Santa with Muscles. The premise would wear thin after a while. But as a one-shot, it's pretty cute. And I am curious about the hysterical girl and what cleaning product she's supposed to be.
  • navebucketdude  - megas XLR FTW

    i would love to see a familiar faces on goat(from megasXLR). :drunk:
  • ninjaboyz101
    Again CR, you have given me the name of a series that I've been trying to remember the name of for quite some time by complete accident, I could not for the life of me remember the name Megas XLR

    I loved the Venture Brothers clip. I almost never see or hear anyone reference that show. I'm so glad to see a little recognition.

    Now for something completely different. Are you ever going to make a FF about Hey Arnold? You alluded to it in another video and I've been dying to see it ever since.

    Thanks for the great videos

    Considering the competition, no wonder Megas won out. Great episode.

    Is it just me, Dr. Tapscrew, or or half the Characters on this show voiced by John DiMaggio?
  • SpecterM91
    avatar
    My god, DiMaggio played freaking everyone in this short. Not there's anything wrong with that.

    What's weird is, I remember the Megas pilot and Long Hair and Double Dome, but mot this. Still, funny as it was, I'm glad Lowbrow eventually became Megas. No lie, that's probably my favorite cartoon to ever come out of Carton Network. Nowhere else could you see Bruce Campbell as a MODOK parody piloting a mech with a chainsaw for a hand to fight alongside a mechanical Mr. T.

    I remember this. Wow you've gotten obsure.

    This would be an awesome series
  • Arther
    Why would they have a night light in the bathroom? Plug socket seems a bit daft to have in a bathroom as well.

    Nice vid, looked up the whole thing on youtube as well so thanks for that. ^_^

    But I'm glad to see it now. Might have been a fun series, though I'm ultimately glad they went with Megas XLR. What can I say, giant robots FTW. Keep up the good work CR. Perhaps for a lark you could explore the various dubs of Sailor Moon? Or maybe how Toonami was in the old days with Moltar at the helm? What can I say, I miss the old CN, especially Toonami in it's glory days.

    It's a Plug-In air freshener, and outlets are also used to plug in electric toothbrushes, shavers, hair dryers, etc.
