There's just an extra layer of comedy in the simple fact that he is the Evil Midnight Bomber _What_ Bombs At Midnight. For some reason that one little colloquial detail of it being "what bombs at midnight" rather than "that bombs at midnight" just adds that special level of something that makes this guy stick in my head.
I think it's an old dialect thing from the 40's or 50's. Another example of "what" used like that is Taz from Looney Tunes going "What for you bury me in the cold, cold ground?".
It's even got a sick roof-mounted forced induction / cooling system to improve the performance without having to keep the hood propped open. Dude is a polymath.
Damn, I thought he was another opposite of The Tick because of his general mannerisms: His weird metaphors, constant rambling about what he's doing, how openly evil he is, his lack of reason to be evil, etc. I imagined they just reflected everything Tick did but replaced good with bad.

The named Barry who thinks he's a superhero & also calls himself The Tick is pretty freakin' hilarious too, plus all the other minor characters banter is great. Like I said, this is my favorite episode of this cartoon series.
I like how that explosion scene kind of implies that his explosives were only strong enough to take down some thin corrugated metal walls in the cheap Sidekick building. The three inside were mostly surprised and barely singed. Cartoon physics sure, but doubt anything better buildt would have been in danger. Much respect for Intent in the plan and the apprehension!
I made this guy as a low-tier villain in a mutants and masterminds game. Like, he was super low PL but he still almost killed the party because they bumblefucked around for a long time.
Look, I'm not saying that Venture Bros. is bad. I just don't especially care for the implication that it succeeded in ways that The Tick would have but couldn't, and The Tick is fantastic as-is.
This had 3 seasons, but you'll never find the last one on DVD. There was some scriptwriter who didn't sign on and they had to pretty much delete all the eps he wrote. That's also why the Galactus episode from season 2 isn't on DVD. He wrote like 8 episodes for season 3.
I see this was part of the inspiration for Overwatch's Junkrat, as well as his line "I’m the evil Australian bomber what bombs at whatever time he damn well pleases. "

You're all over the place!" "Evil's OK in my book, what about yours?" "I Can't Baby, cuz you're not!" "This could happen to you, this could happen to anybody!" "I don't like the cut of your Jib."
I like how he's such a clearly insane and unhinged individual, with a diabolical plan to blow up a club full of superheroes. But he still wears his seatbelt in his car.
Both wrong! It's my man, Mr. Monkee himself Mickey Dolenz going to town in a dual role as both Arthur and....THE EVIL MIDNIGHT BOMBER WHAT BOMBS AT MIDNIGHT!

I love that someone, in their infinite wisdom, actually made a _MegaZeux_ game about this guy. It's not very in-character, but it's a very cute game that's fun to play!
I love how his car looks vaguely grenade-shaped, with the green coloring and the roof rail running down the back into what looks like a mounted ventilation unit.
You know, I remember when "Villainous" was first being advertised, they were roasting a lot of the villains in other Cartoon Network shows. I know CN doesn't own "the Tick," but I almost want to see a fan work of Black Hat checking The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight out. Think about it: He doesn't make many of the usual villain mistakes: He doesn't trap a hero then monologue his entire plan to him. He doesn't make his plan overly convoluted. He doesn't try going for something beyond his reach (well, some heroes like the Tick would be tougher than others and probably impossible to kill, but he'd have still wiped out a chunk of people in the business). Even outing himself to Arthur was more acceptable because: A. He knew he was probably caught anyway, and had to act fast. B. He's nuts. The only real goof I see is that he tried planting his bombs inside the club, but as the sidekicks survived the shed's explosion, it seems that model only blue toward a certain direction. Finally, he actually made a guy quit the business. Granted it was a sidekick, but even that's more than most villains ever achieve. Personally, I think the Villainous cast would enjoy watching him work...though they probably wouldn't give him anything too dangerous for their own safety.
@@micharosa6201 He’s monologuing going the entire time he’s onscreen. And instead of catching a hero, he gets caught in the act by Arthur and continues monologuing and giving away his plan. Chairface Chippendale got further in his plan to write his name on the moon.
I was sat here wondering "why do I know this character and that line" then a thousand memories of "The Tick" flooded into my mind from far back in my childhood. Great show.
I love cartoonish villains, the fact that he has such an overly long name that he says all the time and that he compulsively narrates to himself about how evil he is. I need to watch this show.
Junkrat: Who are You supposed to be? Midnight Bomber: Why, I'm basically You, But SO HE SAYS TO ME, BAD IS GOOD BABY, YEAH, BABY! I AM THE EVIL MIDNIGHT BOMBER WHAT BOMBS AT MIDNIGHT! YEAH BABY, YOW! Junkrat: ... Y'know... I think I'm starting to like this guy. YOW!
You know, the fact this obviously evil whacko in an obvious villain outfit muttering and shouting about being a villain literally called The Evil Midnight Exploder What Explodes Things At Midnight while spending the WHOLE NIGHT IN PLAIN VIEW planting kaboom seeds all over the place that are clearly such, clearly LABELED as such, and sourced from a _clearly labeled bag of such,_ without any of the NUMEROUS superheroes watching ever finding anything about it suspicious or even noticing, proves that The Tick and Arthur _are straightly the most competent superheroes in town._ Ye gods, that is TERRIFYING.
One of the most vital skills for life is being able to laugh at one's own ridiculousness. It's a constant of the human experience, it just varies in its presentation.
I wanted for SO LONG a video of just these bits of The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight but lacked the source and skills to make it happen, so THANK YOU, made my day :'D
i like how this guy is actually just a crazy person like idk if that's the norm for the tick (i've never really watched it), but we need more characters like this in superhero shows no real evil plan no flashy scheme no elaborate lair just a random guy who's probably on all the drugs trying to murder people

The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight has two crucial types of equipment.
1. His bombs, of course.
2. Crystal methamphetamine.
No, that's how he calms back down after a busy night where the middle part was spent bombing. Gotta regulate that dopamine.
He has too many pearly white teeth to be on Crystal Meth XD
3. Legs. He's got legs, baby, he's everywhere!
4: Smoke
5: Style

I think he actually said "An object in red cannot be stopped."

I read that as "maniacally inclined"
So he says to me,"Wished this guy was in more episodes." Yeah baby main character! You're the momma rat's pajamas.
Apparently they planned to bring him back, but then a real life bombing happened, so they wrote him out.
So he says to me- he says, "But our cartoon got cancelled!" Yeah baby! Yeah!
"This could happen to you baby....This could happen....TO ANYBODY!" This line kills me everytime.
"An object at rest cannot be stopped!"
He's got a point there.

I love that someone, in their infinite wisdom, actually made a _MegaZeux_ game about this guy. It's not very in-character, but it's a very cute game that's fun to play!
I love how his car looks vaguely grenade-shaped, with the green coloring and the roof rail running down the back into what looks like a mounted ventilation unit.
1:03 He even has custom made bombs. You know he's committed.
All these years later - still funny.
You know, I remember when "Villainous" was first being advertised, they were roasting a lot of the villains in other Cartoon Network shows. I know CN doesn't own "the Tick," but I almost want to see a fan work of Black Hat checking The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight out.
Think about it:
He doesn't make many of the usual villain mistakes:
He doesn't trap a hero then monologue his entire plan to him.
He doesn't make his plan overly convoluted.
He doesn't try going for something beyond his reach (well, some heroes like the Tick would be tougher than others and probably impossible to kill, but he'd have still wiped out a chunk of people in the business).
Even outing himself to Arthur was more acceptable because:
A. He knew he was probably caught anyway, and had to act fast.
B. He's nuts.
The only real goof I see is that he tried planting his bombs inside the club, but as the sidekicks survived the shed's explosion, it seems that model only blue toward a certain direction.
Finally, he actually made a guy quit the business. Granted it was a sidekick, but even that's more than most villains ever achieve.
Personally, I think the Villainous cast would enjoy watching him work...though they probably wouldn't give him anything too dangerous for their own safety.
Intresting statement
@@micharosa6201 He’s monologuing going the entire time he’s onscreen. And instead of catching a hero, he gets caught in the act by Arthur and continues monologuing and giving away his plan.
Chairface Chippendale got further in his plan to write his name on the moon.
@@micharosa6201 yes I agree with u on that one my friend.
@@liquidplague9763 He's hardly being subtle, let's be honest.
@@LordTyph you say that, but he managed to rig an entire club full of superheroes with bombs. while they were still in there
So he says to me, This guy definitely understands presentation. He's a true Supervillain!!! YEAH BABY!!!!
“Bad is good baby, down with government!” 😂
I was sat here wondering "why do I know this character and that line" then a thousand memories of "The Tick" flooded into my mind from far back in my childhood. Great show.
I love cartoonish villains, the fact that he has such an overly long name that he says all the time and that he compulsively narrates to himself about how evil he is. I need to watch this show.
I just love villains that have straightforward villain names that match their straightforward MO's.
2:11 Obscure reference to the original Wheel of Fortune (NBC Daytime). Made my day
The greatest super villain in history
YEAH BABY!
Before even getting a good look at the villain, I could tell be the voice acting this was the tick
"An object at rest cannot be stopped!" Newton's got nothing on this guy
An object at rest cannot be stopped. Now thats some philosophy!
SURFS UP, SPACE PONIES! I'M MAKING GRAVY WITHOUT THE LUMPS
'AN OBJECT AT REST CANNOT BE STOPPED!'
Words to live by.
Maurice Lamarche is such an amazing voice actor
Arthur being thrown out by MBison... _who is apparently a Super Hero_ in this universe.
Bad is good baby, down with government!!
"An object at rest cannot be stopped" I can't tell if this line is fire or ridiculous. I'm using it.
Junkrat: Who are You supposed to be?
Midnight Bomber: Why, I'm basically You,
But SO HE SAYS TO ME,
BAD IS GOOD BABY, YEAH, BABY!
I AM THE EVIL MIDNIGHT BOMBER WHAT BOMBS AT MIDNIGHT!
YEAH BABY, YOW!
Junkrat: ...
Y'know...
I think I'm starting to like this guy.
YOW!
They copy-pasted this guy as a Champion in League of Legends: ZIGGS.
@@Hydrocannon
Ok(?).
You know, the fact this obviously evil whacko in an obvious villain outfit muttering and shouting about being a villain literally called The Evil Midnight Exploder What Explodes Things At Midnight while spending the WHOLE NIGHT IN PLAIN VIEW planting kaboom seeds all over the place that are clearly such, clearly LABELED as such, and sourced from a _clearly labeled bag of such,_ without any of the NUMEROUS superheroes watching ever finding anything about it suspicious or even noticing, proves that The Tick and Arthur _are straightly the most competent superheroes in town._
Ye gods, that is TERRIFYING.
He says he’s the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight.
*YEAH BABY*
i have schizophrenia and seeing this caricature of a paranoid schizophrenic is killing me. too funny
One of the most vital skills for life is being able to laugh at one's own ridiculousness. It's a constant of the human experience, it just varies in its presentation.
The existence of an “evil” midnight bomber implies there is a normal or good midnight bomber
This is my favourite episode, it never gets old.
"An object at rest cannot be stopped"
I mean, he's not wrong.
It really caught me off guard, because the thumbnail artwork looked like Rugrats.
"it's the only jib i got" is an underrated line
You really get to have those 10 seconds of silence at the end to contemplate his philosophy
I wanted for SO LONG a video of just these bits of The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight but lacked the source and skills to make it happen, so THANK YOU, made my day :'D
If only his bag didn’t say "bombs" on it.
i like how this guy is actually just a crazy person
like idk if that's the norm for the tick (i've never really watched it), but we need more characters like this in superhero shows
no real evil plan
no flashy scheme
no elaborate lair
just a random guy who's probably on all the drugs trying to murder people
The thing!!!! 0:48
I love how his costume makes him look like a roach
this guy is insane and i love everything about it
This made me miss the 90s so much
"An object at rest cannot be stopped!" That's certainly something to think about.
This was my least favorite episode as a kid. My mom claimed it was an episode more focused on the adult audience of the show.
Wouldn't you know, this is one of my favorites by far now 😂
