  • Cartoon Network has been around for 30 years. Despite this, the network never had a definitive mascot similar to SpongeBob. However, in 2010, C & N were introduced in Cartoon Network's bumpers and promos. Unfortunately, they have faded into obscurity in recent years. So in this video, I will shed some light on Cartoon Network's forgotten mascots.
    All photos and videos belong to their original owners.

    I wonder if Brian and Nick have ever been interviewed about their time with CN, I'd like to hear their experiences being in costume or voice acting as the characters. Hell, it'd be nice to at least have them show up in Multiversus in some way.

    Hey! Great video, nicely detailed and doesn't forget the nerdy details that I like to see.
    I wanted to add that C and N actually had a show, well... technically. The clips you showed from CN France on an yellow background were actually from a miniseries called "C et N font des vidéos", where C and N talk about these very childish everyday situations at school etc, they even have parents lol. This style of filming was then reused in the CN MDR block as the final set of bumps in late 2015, which had them announcing the next show (before the block got discontinued).
    CN France actually ran wild with C and N, in 2014 with the introduction of CHECK it 3.0, they actually went above and beyond and gave us our own C and N, with our own announcer duo on bumpers that were US-styled rather than European-styled. We were really eating good back then. And the irl images you showed were actually from an event called "la journée mondiale du prout", which was a day where CN France's team installed a giant whoopie cushion for everyone to jump on, including C and N!
    It's kinda sad that they removed all the interaction they had with their viewers, they're extremely bland nowadays, even more than CN US. Television in general is getting rid of these fun additions that kept viewers interested, CN is getting blander with their branding, and same applies with the rest of TV stations.

    Cartoon Network had a few "mascots" besides C and N. In CN's early years, it was Fred Flinstone and occasionally Scooby-Doo. During CCF years (1996-2004), it was whatever show was the most popular at any given time like the Eds. During CN City, there wasn't really any mascot as every character was represented. During Noods, it was the noods characters obviously. Check It was C and N, and Dimensional/Pastel is either Robin, Gumball, or Craig.

    I've recently been obsessed with watching old broadcasts of Cartoon Network and this era has not been saved it seems in the way the 2000s was which is such a bummer cuz this era has so much life to it and cable TV as a whole feels like it had a shift to being boring Bland and uninteresting and not worth watching when 2016 started and everything cool that TV was died that year everywhere or at least began to. one of the shows which was coming out in 2017 that I was excited for coming out welcome to the Wayne suffered from this Bland shift. many other shows have as well that they came out before 2016 on television would have survived and even thrived.

      here is some difference to C and N.
      1st one:
      the font looks different, the font they used was Eagle Bold, which it was used on the CN logo by 1992 to 2009.
      2nd one:
      they don't have arms and legs, instead, they just used their corners to walk or catch or hold.
      3rd one:
      they don't have a voice yet, instead, they just do noises like screams, etc.

    This dudes really just said that the early 2010s CN bumpers were on par with the CN city bumpers Lmfaoooo. Yeah maybe behind the powerhouse and checkerboard era lol. As for the whole fleshed out CN mascots thing I’d have. To just disagree, the characters themselves are the face of Cartoon Network that’s what set them apart from something like Disney or nick with sponge bob. And it’s probably why all the cartoon both old and new resonate so much with both newer fans and older fans and that been true for most of cartoon networks life span. And is why the almost all the eras of CN are so beloved especially the CN city era. So while I disagree with you’re take I respect it for what it is .

      You are just being nostalgic, first of all CN City could've never lasted, it was made with a show selection that is limited and that was very costly to maintain. That's why it got replaced, because it was getting old with the new shows being introduced.
      And secondly, yes, CHECK it is on par with City. It had colorful and effective bumpers, a creative direction, dope music, a killer 20th anniversary event with characters interacting like in the City era, 4 iterations and mascots to go along with it.
