@Kek The Hero I think NB Studios is being too hard on himself. I can see the inspiration in the character design as far as sihlouettes go. But with that hair style, the beard, and mask resembling more of Robin and The Incredibles than the Tick? I don't see how Face Beast looks like The Tick.
@@DemonicRemption To be honest I completely agree, originally I was just making a joke about how The Tick and Crimson Chin look a lot alike but now that I rewatch this I don’t understand how he thought that was a ripoff of The Tick.
One of the many things I love about the animated series, is Chairface Chippendale's plot to deface the moon. Other shows of the time would have stopped the villain before he could implement his plan and maintained the status quo. Here the "Cha" on the moon could be seen for the rest of the shows' run. Also there was no way Chairface could fit his whole name, using that font.
@@missingsig Why is it likely that joke was unintended? That doesn't make any sense, they wrote for him to not finish etching his name- saying it was an animation oversight doesn't make any sense

Yeah, it was a solid beat em up, if a bit long though. Honestly don't know what this guy was smoking, "everybody hated the videogame" bunch of bologna.
@@peterberg3446 Yes. In the first Tick comic book series #3 titled "The Night of a Million-Zillion Ninja". The Tick and Oedipus (who is a dead ringer for Marvel Comics Elektra) are hiding out in her mansion. Then, all of a sudden, a hedge mysteriously appears surrounding the house. Despite the "hedge" only consisting of ninjas holding a tiny twig and saying, "We're a hedge" the disguise is so ingenious that everyone falls for it.
One of my favorite lines in the Amazon version which spoiler alert one of the villains who is a twist villain and he’s model logging and then the tech yells would you stop villainsplaining
Important video but it does not go into the absolute height of Tick humor, the animated show, nearly enough. Also, sewer urchin wasn’t even mentioned 😡
Evil Doers you face... cancellation :( At least we got The Boys and Invincible. If I HAD to lose The Tick I'm glad we at least got those worthy successors. My favorite lines from the 2016 show. ""WATCH OUT SHE SHOOTS GLASS EYES!" also "Why wont you die?" "I don't WANNA!"
I was one of the lucky few who was intrigued to the Tick about a year before the cartoon came out on Fox! He may not be the hero we need, but he's definitely the hero we deserve! SPOON! 🥄 (this is what I invariably think of when I hear the band Spoon)
What I like about the version from 2016, is that it appears that his origin story in that one may be that he didn't even exist until his existence was necessary for Arthur plot armor. That is my favorite interpretation of his origin. He wasn't born. He wasn't an ordinary guy who gained powers. He doesn't have a past. He simply, is, because it's necessary for him to be.
@@leowu988 I haven't even watched the flash since halfway through season 4. It got boring and I was tired of the formula for every season being the same; flash is fastest man, oops looks like he's not now, he loses someone close to him, oh and now he's being framed, he begins either escape or behins taking out the lower bad guys again, then he kills the other fast guy or villain and reassumes role as fastest man.
i just finished the amazon series, and while the show itself was good Im now absolutely obsessed with the Tick as a character. In my opinion the actor who played him was amazing at playing the role, although I guess if you were a fan of the other versions I can't really speak in that aspect as I never seen anything else yet. I'm so dissapointed they cancelled season 3, I really wanted to find out if Walter had to do with the creation of the Tick.
Without the Tick the Venture Bros wouldn’t exist as Jackson Publick one of the creators worked on both the animated and 2001 version of the Tick and he was introduced to his co creator Doc Hammer by Ben Edlund.
great fun fact: Part of the creation team, involved with the 90s FOX cartoon, the creators of the Venture Bros were involved! A lot of the niche humor comes from them
I hope we get a new Tick, a cartoon one preferably. And hopefully after the Amazon series Ben Edlund's done experimenting with edgy Tick and we can actually focus on the comedy
The Tick & Mystery Men is how it would be in real life. It wouldn't be so clean and perfect, people would have real issues with their powers and personal life.
in the picture at 1:24 Ben Edlund is wearing a Venture Bros shirt! He wrote and directed season 2's Viva los Muertos, the only episode of the Venture Bros not written and directed by the showrunners, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick. Jackson Publick actually got his start in TV writing working on the Tick cartoon.
I don't think any live action adaptation can come even close to replicating the visual style of the comics or animations. Like the Tick himself is a big giant doofus of a man, a caricature. How do you make white dudes with exceedingly average proportions pull off _that_ costume design?
Haven’t seen it, but Warburton is brilliant in everything he’s done. I’m a Brit and I was surprised to see Serafinowicz in the role, but I think he did a great job.
The Amazon shows is almost doing it realistic and acceptable but one thing is wrong: Tick's eyes and retina are never supposed to be visible, they're supposed to look like he's blind. Can't they do CGI that hides the eyes?
I think I used to game with Ben... I loved The Tick from the get go, and I had the original comics. Until a "friend" stole them and sold them to Bop City Comics. Ah well.
Couple years ago I found several issues of the New England Comics Newsletter, including the first appearance of The Tick. Sold them for hundreds and hundreds of dollars! 😋
Don't feel bad about basing a character almost entirely off of an other. Everyone does it. Makes me thing about "Simpsons" (S7E18) "The Day the Violence Died" "Okay, maybe my dad did steal Itchy. So what? Animation is built on plagiarism! If it weren’t for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners we wouldn’t have the Flintstones. If someone hadn’t ripped off Sergeant Bilko, there’d be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney. Your honor, you take away our right to steal ideas, where are they gonna come from?"
dude i hate that amazon cancelled their version of the tick, it kinda makes sense though, around that time the boys was getting way more popular and they simply shifted budgets. invincible too. hey we still got 2 great shows, i just wish the tick wasnt left on the back burner. its the perfect superhero.
I was like 6 when the cartoon aired. I hated it back then and after rewatching an episode I hate it now still 😂 I like the message but dislike the medium
I don't remember which episode of the 90s animated show had it, but one of the best lines I've ever heard: Tick: "If you guys are selling insurance we don't want any." Man in suit: "No, Tick. We're with the government." Tick: "Well, no thanks. We've got all the government we need." Even truer today than when it was originally written.
I wish the Amazon series had more episodes. It started off as my least favorite version of the tick (I started collecting comics in the 80s), to my most favorite and still feel like that series only got better and was really coming into its own when they cancelled it.
Don’t be ashamed of your character that looks like the Tick, just remember Crimson Chin still exists and it’s basically identical to The Tick.

Dude I thought I was the only one to notice that.
To be fair The Tick is literally just The Roach from the Cerebus comics.
I'm here after the blue beetle,
They need to learn from the tick and patrick warburton
The Tick reason for being a hero is just "I'm indestructible and strong so why not fight crime"
Better than saying, "Why not commit crime?".
probably one of the most chad reasons to be a superhero

Cool channel looking forward to more
The tick is freaking awesome
Game everyone hated? I liked it!!!
Yeah, it was a solid beat em up, if a bit long though. Honestly don't know what this guy was smoking, "everybody hated the videogame" bunch of bologna.
I wish you would have mentioned how Ben wrote for Venture bros for awhile
The comics are freaking awesome! Man Eating Cow, Paul the Samurai, the Ninja Hedge..... 🤣

@@peterberg3446 Yes. In the first Tick comic book series #3 titled "The Night of a Million-Zillion Ninja".

@@howiehall4622 I know about the Ninja Hedge I just thought of it as a gag, not a character in the same way Man Eating Cow or Paul the Samurai are.
@@peterberg3446 Oh, I see what you mean. I guess it was confusing the way I wrote it! My bad.
Have you read Chainsaw Vigilante?
My favorite as a kid
Amazon show is amazing and not gritty. Its just more plot based, still fucking ridiculous though. Love it so much.
Loved the Amazon version I'm on season 2 episode 5 👍
That Facebeast fellow you got there looked fun.
SPOOOOON!!!
I’m impressed by the amount of research
Also, you forgot Tick's signature power, that of drama. He is a drama magnet, weird stuff ALWAYS happens around him.
Missed an appearance in the intro of MIB2 as T..
One of my favorite lines in the Amazon version which spoiler alert one of the villains who is a twist villain and he’s model logging and then the tech yells would you stop villainsplaining
Easily, the animated series is the best version of Tick out there.
Well done & reminds me of one punch man
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!
:=8D
*SPOON!*
But, did he escape from the mental institution, or are all of his adventures taking place in his imagination?
love The Tick

My favorite lines from the 2016 show.
""WATCH OUT SHE SHOOTS GLASS EYES!"
also
"Why wont you die?"
"I don't WANNA!"
And now it's canceled and I'm sad
What? Noooo, I just started watching the Amazon show. I loved the cartoon as a child.
Interesting
Is how lil' Wooden Boy is not a meme, a meme?

Cha Mon.
You forgot about Sewer Urchin, dude
Patrick Warburton 🍼💙
CHA
Seriously? Not Deadpool?
The Amazon series was sooooo dull.
Get to season 2 it’s great

Who puts gum on a roof?
I love how the comic book made fun of superheroes at that time and the Amazon prime show makes fun of modern superheroes
Gotta love The Tick. SPOON!
Sadly Amazon cancelled the show :’) I loved watching it 😭
It's so good. I don't get why ppl watch the flash and this get cancelled

No social media engagement I’m guessing, you can hardly find UA-cam videos about it. The show is ridiculously good.

McCulloch even wrote a few epsiodes.
I loved both seasons on amazon and I was super bummed out when I realized the show was cancelled. Is it worth reading the comics?
Yes, though I don't think the original one ever had an ending.
Yes
It sucks that Patrick Warburton's Tick run for only 1 season, literally everything about that show ruled
This was NOT useless history, it was actually good. I really liked this video. Well done.
Ahhh, the all time greatest battle-cry...
"I HOPE I DON'T GET HURT!!"
Also "Not in the face! Not in the face!"
"IT'S OK TO PLAY WITH DOLLS!!"
@@Dudebrush4pwood Boys don't play with dolls, they're "action figures!"
The Amazon show is really good. I’ve watched both seasons at least 3 times.
I hope we get a new Tick, a cartoon one preferably. And hopefully after the Amazon series Ben Edlund's done experimenting with edgy Tick and we can actually focus on the comedy
Yes!
Didn’t like the animated series as a kid, I didn’t get it. Now having watched it almost 30 years later, I love it!
Always liked the tick. Wish the Amazon show would have been renewed. Remember when Spider-man took a jab at the tick in his show?
The Tick & Mystery Men is how it would be in real life. It wouldn't be so clean and perfect, people would have real issues with their powers and personal life.
The Tick is my favorite superhero
This such an underrated video and channel, hope he becomes UA-cam famous some day or sooner.

Met Ben briefly when he was still with New England Comics. I was glad to see him move on to better options.
I loved the tick Comics and the cartoon, but the Patrick Warburton Tick was the best by far.
I think I used to game with Ben... I loved The Tick from the get go, and I had the original comics. Until a "friend" stole them and sold them to Bop City Comics. Ah well.
The Tick from the comics is definitely my favorite version. Sucks to lose the original ones.
Couple years ago I found several issues of the New England Comics Newsletter, including the first appearance of The Tick. Sold them for hundreds and hundreds of dollars! 😋
The fact that originally he beat up beaker and bunson honeydew from the muppets to escape the insane asylum was hysterical
I'm still waiting for the Little Wooden Boy spinoff.
They did a live action The Tick and I loved it, so of course they cancelled it.
JCVJ was much better and should have gotten a season 2.
Spooooooooooooooooon!
As a kid I thought the tick was a made up hero not an ACTUAL hero. 🤣
Whom is also made up 👀
I loved both TICK TV shows, and I want more.
Whassisname - that british dude, Serafenawiczsa - or whatever - he was excellent!
TV has been all downhill since the cancelled the 2001 live action Tick show.
Haha, I would have to agree.
Don't feel bad about basing a character almost entirely off of an other. Everyone does it.
Makes me thing about "Simpsons" (S7E18) "The Day the Violence Died"
"Okay, maybe my dad did steal Itchy. So what? Animation is built on plagiarism! If it weren’t for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners we wouldn’t have the Flintstones.

This is real high quality content for sure! Keep it up man!
The Tick is CHAD
dude i hate that amazon cancelled their version of the tick, it kinda makes sense though, around that time the boys was getting way more popular and they simply shifted budgets.
invincible too.
hey we still got 2 great shows, i just wish the tick wasnt left on the back burner. its the perfect superhero.
Brilliant character, especially in the original comics.
You are wrong about the moon in the animated series. It now reads "HA" because the Tick managed to destroy the C and blow himself off into deep space.
This is so nice and well edited. Wheres your subs bruh?
UA-cam doesn't recommend quality content bro lol
I thought the tick was a test subject that escaped from a facility and later became a hero of a city that's just called the city
Patrick Warburton returned to the costume in 'Ted 2', which almost counts as a return 😬 but not really, no.
I was like 6 when the cartoon aired. I hated it back then and after rewatching an episode I hate it now still 😂 I like the message but dislike the medium
I don't remember which episode of the 90s animated show had it, but one of the best lines I've ever heard:

Tick: "Well, no thanks. We've got all the government we need."
Even truer today than when it was originally written.
That last throw with the tire to a persons head, it would kill a man..
The live action shows don't hold a candle to the cartoon.
Ben is a local hero. He lived a few towns over, in Pembroke, Ma.
Since the tick is a blood sucker I think I know he’s religious origins😂
So we ever know the Tick’s history/background
Heavily underrated show. Good video here!
SPOON!
4:17 looks like a plagiarism of the episode of dexter with the beard
don't forget Tick is a rip-off of The Roach from Cerebus!
I never read Cerebus, but there's a strong resemblance. I wonder if Ben Edlund was a Cerebus fan.
Love how our polish last name broke your brain XD
OfTen. OfTen.OfTen. Do you like ticks up your ofTen?
I simp the tick, mainly because his whole premise is a joke
I wish the Amazon series had more episodes. It started off as my least favorite version of the tick (I started collecting comics in the 80s), to my most favorite and still feel like that series only got better and was really coming into its own when they cancelled it.
Patrick Warburton rules!!! 🤘🏻🤪
Chairface must be inspired by the Chippendale chair villain from Al Capp's Fearless Fosdick.
I'll have to check that out, haven't heard of it.
Are we just gonna ignore the girl squirrel in the room...
I've always felt that The Tick character was based heavily on Dave Sim's The Roach.
It's the other way around.
His name is Putty, his nemesis is Vegetable Lasagna
