Adventure Time is GOATed and the Root Beer Guy episode is legendary! It reveals a lot through the actions of an "average" citizen of the Candy Kingdom. And, that's greatly in keeping with the noir style. It's often a vehicle for an "every man" to be integral in an extraordinary story.
oh yeah, you absolutely bodied w/ this video idea lol bmo noire is one of my favorites too, so going for root beer guy felt like a 180 but im not complaining its easy to forget how characteristically detailed some of the 'townie' episodes got. i didnt even remember this one during my rewatch, you easily convinced me to give it a second look
Nah for real, Hogie for real gotta change up his diet. He expects to have game with Cree and he's still shoving those nasty Apple crumbles down his throat?
You really cooked with this one. The only thing I know about noir is that one character in BoJack who keeps saying "we aren't making Casablanca" and I laugh every time despite knowing little to nothing about noir. Personally, I love the detective my little pony episodes that come across as noir. They where my favorites as... I would like to say as a kid but I still like my little pony so I guess they are my favorites. Honorable mention to that one recent always sunny in Philadelphia episode that is film noir inspired because it's one of the only good recent episodes. lol. Great vid.
One that definitely comes to mind is Garfield Babes and Bullets! AniMat ranked that as the 1# classic Garfield special of the Lorenzo Music era and for very good reason! 🙂
Since you used clips for all three of the Hoagie detective eps of KND, there’s something interesting about one of them I’d like to point out. Operation CRIME (the one where Kuki ends up taking the detective role) actually first started out as a comic from Cartoon Network Block Party. It has a slightly different story but the kid who is featured in both versions (assuming it’s the same kid, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at either version) is featured in another comic this time in Cartoon Network Action Pack.
Yeah! i actually read that comic while i was finishing up this video and yes it does use the same kid. Before this I didnt even know there were Knd comics so it was definitely a cool read.
@@corduroycrook Yeah they kept them going for a while even after the show ended. The most unique ones were the KND VS DCFDTL comics because they were not only Spy vs Spy parodies but had different artists do their own takes of the characters.

Thank you! I was in the same boat before this video but really there are so many good noir movies. I get why so many shows reference them lol

I suddenly have this urge to watch Casablanca.
You should, it’s reaaaalllyyy good
Ah yes, my fav trope in cartoons
