I think Jamie has the potential to be even half of his alternative self, he just has to move on from his terrible personality traits, get muscles, and actually be a member of the team.
With a bit more exposure I think Megas could be extremely popular today, alot of these jokes are perfectly in line with modern internet humor. And it's a mecha show about a guy who's mech in controlled inside a car using video game controllers, how can you not love that ?
Unfortunately, there is zero chance of this show ever coming back because Cartoon Network wrote it as a tax write off. Meaning it won’t ever revive ever.
@@bthsr7113I hate how they made Jamie out to be a desperate coward who can't be bothered to apply himself, their one-sided friendship doesn’t make any sense considering even Coop knows it's severely lacking, unless the foundation is pitying Jamie and him having no other friends until Kiva came along.. Meanwhile, Coop has plenty of friends..
I like how these scenes show highlights the core personality of the main characters. Coop is practically a 12 year old stuck inside an adult body, who just wants to eat junk food, likes cars, video games and dislike institutions while Jaime is a full blown villain (pervy, likes to steal, see other people as beneath him) if he actually commits to his cause
The problem with Jamie is that he's the stereotypical individual in their early twenties (in a time where there was loads of opportunity), he would have girls chasing after him if he moved past his negative traits, worked on his physique and actually applied himself to being a member of the team.
A big guy living up north causing destruction on a weekly basis, constantly having flashbacks and easily distracted, I'd swear this took cues from Family Guy. 2005 gave us gold in Megas XLR and Ben 10. The Megas theme song will always live rent free in my mind 🤟🏾
16:50 that's my favourite one, I love how jaime is always some evil emperor and even coop thinks of him that way. And he's still his best bud lol, he knows him so well.
The best part is how the alien gives Jamie a fish and you think the “not good enough” button is just going to open a pit or something but instead it blows up the entire planet
@@skippyjones4254 What makes it for me is the "not good *enough*" label Evil emperor Jamie was offended not bc he didn't liked the fish but bc the alien could do better
It's funny how much of an a-hole you can tell Jamie is, by his fantasies, but it's Coop who turns evil in the future, replacing Megas with a Zaku, conquering the Earth, and Jamie who becomes the hero, leading the resistance
As a kid i loved this show. A little more unique than others that were on CN. Thanks to this show I became interested in repairing/modifying cars, stereo, metal an so on 🤘
I missed the time period when this first was being advertised on Cartoon Network. I remembered being on Toonami before Zatch Bell, Naruto, & Pokemon Chronicles at the time... I wish Megas XLR could come back.
@@tgiacin435 yes, that’s the problem!!! A cutaway is to relieve tension in the moment, they don’t work if the show is nothing but cutaway jokes… family guy is a perfect example on how NOT to do cutaway jokes
That’s what happens when a show / series becomes long running, the creativity and humor dries up and goes in the opposite direction because they think the audience will be too dumbed down and eat up anything thrown at them..
I hate the fact I missed this show as a kid. I was always had to do something when it was on. Especially given the fact I never actually saw enough of this show to even realize Bruce Campbell was in this. Also 7:24 how tf you gonna make a bookcase fall so hard on a computer, it literally EXPLODES?
i will NEVER stop this idea from becoming a dream come true a live action megas xlr movie directed by jon favreau come on hollywood make that happen before my time is up 7:32 i can relate to.....THIS 12:08......tear drop
It still amazes me how this got past as a kids show. But hey, I ain't complaining. This show was literally a combination of every boys dreams and hobbies. Giant robots, video games, cool sports cars, chicks. What's not to love?
Somebody needs to compile every time we see The Button. That Cool Energy Sword Thing, This Better Then, Exactly The Same Button Coop Pushed 5 Minutes Ago, 5 Minutes Until End Of Episode... you know, The Button!
To this day, Coop using overly destructive force to level the DMV is still one of the best jokes ever written.
I still wonder how they even managed to tow it. That could have been its own gag, like a tow truck dragging Megas by the foot.
It's his laugh for me😂
I think everyone can relate to the unbelievably useless government run organization.
I like how even Coop acknowledge that Jamie could be a tyrant if given enough power
Jamie is the definition of “Good guy out of self-preservation and friendship”, lol.
Jamie would 100% be the bad guy if he actually commits to his cause. He's too wimpy that no one actually takes him seriously
@@quakethedoombringerWhich is funny because in an alternate timeline Jamie is a heroic freedom fighter while Coop is the evil Tyrant…
It's ironic how in the 2 parts final episode Coop is the tyrant... Seriously, we need a petition to bring back Megas in current tv shows.
I think Jamie has the potential to be even half of his alternative self, he just has to move on from his terrible personality traits, get muscles, and actually be a member of the team.

This show was ahead of its time.
I can email you all the episodes my email is on my channel's about info
Unfortunately, there is zero chance of this show ever coming back because Cartoon Network wrote it as a tax write off. Meaning it won’t ever revive ever.
@Janquin2006 as chris pynoski said, never say never
I really hope someone will be able to bring this show back someday. Definitely could of lasted longer than two seasons!!!! Never give up hope.
I love how Jamie doesn't even show up to his own birthday party.
Not only that, but Coop didn’t even touch the cake.
That’s friendship right there.
@@dk2k1 Indeed.
Yeah, he’s a real buddy. Wonder what made Jamie miss his own birthday... or forgot?
I like how in Jamies imagination, Coop is HIS sidekick rather than the other way around.
To be fair they are both each other's sidekicks.
@@barrybend7189 Nah, Coop is there way more for Jamie, and Jamie is a lot less cool. Jamie is a bad side kick.
@@bthsr7113 And then you get to the finale
@@bthsr7113I hate how they made Jamie out to be a desperate coward who can't be bothered to apply himself, their one-sided friendship doesn’t make any sense considering even Coop knows it's severely lacking, unless the foundation is pitying Jamie and him having no other friends until Kiva came along..

Him going ham on the DMV is so cathartic as an adult.

using a time travel belt to steal candy from a baby is so funny to me.
NGL, Jamie's fantasy on having tentacles really made me laugh hard XDDD
Agreed 🤣
I saw on a podcast where co creator Jody Schaffer was like "yeah this is taking it pretty far lol, I'm surprised it got past censorship"
1:15 This moment was just....... perfect!
Those mini scenes are what made "Megas XLR" one of the coolest shows on Cartoon Network.
Not the one of the coolest, but THE coolest.
@InternalxHD I've seen "Downtown". It was a beautiful adult animated show.
3:18
Can we talk about how Megas has a matrix of leadership from Transformers? Lol
I know right, that’s why I love this show
And use it to make cheesimus prime.
I was about to mention that kek
@@raylenn4444bruh me too
Shhh, no one tell him about the _original_ Wave Motion Gun.
Jamie sounding like a budget Spike Spiegel is always a great addition to this series.
That’s because it is Steve Blum and kiva is voiced by fae
Steve Blum always voices the cool dudes.
MEGAS XLR’s Comedy was on a completely different level!! 😂😂😂😂 The fourth wall breaking on the buttons was perfect.
It was my favorite cartoon series I always wait for Sunday afternoon to watch it
The DMV part is hilarious
Facts
Hilarious and relatable
A big guy living up north causing destruction on a weekly basis, constantly having flashbacks and easily distracted, I'd swear this took cues from Family Guy.
2005 gave us gold in Megas XLR and Ben 10. The Megas theme song will always live rent free in my mind 🤟🏾
Original release
May 1, 2004 -
January 15, 2005
Both are amazing.
Dont forget Generator Rex
They also gave us more Teen Titans.
3:33 did the Matrix of leadership just get filled with fake cheese. awesome.
And create a giant cheese Monster
1:15 That's a whole mood
I do miss this show so much! It was well ahead of its time as far as entertainment was concerned.
16:50 that's my favourite one, I love how jaime is always some evil emperor and even coop thinks of him that way.
And he's still his best bud lol, he knows him so well.

@@skippyjones4254
What makes it for me is the "not good *enough*" label
Evil emperor Jamie was offended not bc he didn't liked the fish but bc the alien could do better
15:03 "RINGS!" "Onion Rings?" "DUDE, RINGS!!" 😂
Dude XD , they called Sonic 2 XL years before it was a thing =P
*Proximity alert!*
It's funny how much of an a-hole you can tell Jamie is, by his fantasies, but it's Coop who turns evil in the future, replacing Megas with a Zaku, conquering the Earth, and Jamie who becomes the hero, leading the resistance
I love this show growing up!, also this still nuts to me that Coop voice actor is the dad from Wizards of Waverly place.
Right, I was wondering why he sounded so familiar in wizards
¡¿Que!?
Oh my😮
11:51 How they manage to get away from that scene
hell yeah🤟
Somehow, I already knew what You're referring to.
1:49 that song is legendary
This show was ahead of it's time.
This show really needs a reboot or continuation.
It was written off as a tax loss so that won't happen unfortunately.
“Kneel before the might and glory that is… Jamie 😤”
Coop and Kiva: LMFAO
3:22 I didn’t know Megas XLR was a Prime...
4:40
As a kid: Ha! Lame!
As an adult and a teacher: Ohhhhh... I feel this scene!
11:50 legit caught me off guard, wtf man
GOOD OLD CN!! 😂
Both this and Star vs.The Forces of Evil. lol
Ma man jamie.
🤣
Just by the look on his face you know it’s gonna be something like that.
Those two guys are nothing but trouble.
As a kid i loved this show. A little more unique than others that were on CN.
Thanks to this show I became interested in repairing/modifying cars, stereo, metal an so on 🤘
I missed the time period when this first was being advertised on Cartoon Network. I remembered being on Toonami before Zatch Bell, Naruto, & Pokemon Chronicles at the time...
I wish Megas XLR could come back.
Probably haven't seen this shown in like 15 years, never realized spike spiegals voice actor was in it
Anyone else notice the device at 3:32 is just the Matrix of Leadership?
9:11 as Spongebob said, “I don’t need it. I don’t need it…… *I NEED IT!!!* “
11:50 i like how you are thinking Jamie
2:11
If you've been in a BSA troop, you'll know that Coop having been a boyscout tracks surprisingly well.
3:32 Holy shit, isn't that the Matrix of Leadership!?
Surprising that Bruce Campbell is actually in this show.
How is that surprising?
Hail to the king, baby!
He’s actually been in quite a few cartoons. He was in My Life As a Teenage Robot too.
Twice?
3:29 you have a uphill battle trying to convince me they didn't just knock off the autobot matrix design
Oh this show is full of intentional references. That’s part of why it is so good.
Why would anyone try to convince you of that? They literally had the bow of Space Battleship Yamato in Megas' chest in the first episode.
*ANGRY ULTRA MAGNUS NOISES* HE PUT EZ CHEEZE IN THE MATRIX!!
Go work on your English. It's obvious you don't know what the word 'knock off' means.
God.
These are like Family Guy cutaways.
AND I LOVE IT
But actually funny
Better than those 😂
6:14 Damn, that's cold.
6:17 DAMN
I love how they can pull off better cutaways than most shows in adult animation even could.
This show knew how to do cutaways right, unlike family guy….
Family guy reached a point where they are mostly cutaway gags
@@tgiacin435 yes, that’s the problem!!! A cutaway is to relieve tension in the moment, they don’t work if the show is nothing but cutaway jokes… family guy is a perfect example on how NOT to do cutaway jokes

11:54 suddenly im concerned whats on jamie's search history on his computer
He'd fit in perfectly today
@@AnakinSkywakkathere’s probably thousands of files
Absolutely loved that Escape from New York reference
I just realized Megas had the fucking matrix of leadership in his chest.
These are the cutaway gags family guy wishes it could have
11:53
Trying not to have dirty thoughts lol.
11:05 the disgust xD
Damn crazy that they used some of this music in DBZA for Vegeta’s monologues 😂
God I miss this show. They should have a 1 hour special series finale or something.
3:29 YOU PUT CHEESE IN THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP!
"His tentacles are so long"
I hate the fact I missed this show as a kid. I was always had to do something when it was on. Especially given the fact I never actually saw enough of this show to even realize Bruce Campbell was in this.
Also 7:24 how tf you gonna make a bookcase fall so hard on a computer, it literally EXPLODES?
Yeah, I feel like if I got to watch this show more than a few episodes, I’d probably start being influenced by Coop more lol
This show is the greatest
The amount of fantasies that involve Coop inflicting unrelenting amount of force on just about anyone is.... concerning
Well he became evil in another dimension só...
Except the DMV. That's normal.
Magas XLR was legendary the humor was top notch, i wish this show would make a comeback
I wad 7 years old when this premiered on Cartoon Network... Damn I'm getting old.
Cartoon network shows that came after 2010 are garbage. Not saying all shows from 2000 were great but mostly better
@@youngbud9269 Adventure time Regular show Steven universe and so many more were good after 2017 its trash
@@hampter112 haven't seen Steven universe but i agree
I was 10 or 9.
Damn, we gettin' old.
fact coop went "if we left jamie alone with aliens we'd be fucked" is hilarious
THAT DMV DESTRUCTION IS SO SATISFYING
i will NEVER stop this idea from becoming a dream come true a live action megas xlr movie directed by jon favreau come on hollywood make that happen before my time is up
7:32 i can relate to.....THIS
12:08......tear drop
13:05 He knows what he wants and I respect that.
That Escape From New York reference was great.
13:20
_Remedial???_
That's just godsdamn _diplomatic..._
And this ain't _any_ human he's talking about, either. IT'S COOP!
12:19 I've never seen a more accurate depiction of pure Bliss ... !
Coop needs a cold shower like every episode
That tenticle hentai reference christ on a hard roll i wish I didn't ever get it
You got tentacle fantasies?
Love this show
I like Coop's simplicity.
1:18 absolutely relatable
man this show was awesome
If Megas XLR gets a live adaptation, Jack Black should be Coop immediately.
I don't remember Metal Maidens, but as a metalhead they do look cool
I wish they would’ve made a third season with a little more crossover’s
This show was awesome!
6:49 “wter” resistance 😂 then they correct it
Kinda bummed we never got anything this creative ever again. Music included.
CN’s version of Ino-Shika-Cho :)
Metal Maiden: gets said
My mind immediately: is that an Iron Maiden joke?
This show was too good for human peoples
I don't know about that,it may have fed into our vengeful destructive nature. For those of us who have watched and seen the series anyway.
It still amazes me how this got past as a kids show. But hey, I ain't complaining. This show was literally a combination of every boys dreams and hobbies. Giant robots, video games, cool sports cars, chicks. What's not to love?
Was that device they put cheese wiz in the fucking Matrix from Transformers? 🤦🏾♂️
11:52
i didn't knew back then... now i know... I'VE BEEN ENOUGH ON THE INTERNET TO KNOW...
Daily reminder that Coop is the best engineer on earth, and doesn't become a super villain just because he's chill.
Wanting to pilot a giant lady robot is so based IMO
4:58 LMFAO 😂🤣
Somebody needs to compile every time we see The Button.
That Cool Energy Sword Thing, This Better Then, Exactly The Same Button Coop Pushed 5 Minutes Ago, 5 Minutes Until End Of Episode... you know, The Button!
missiles more missiles all the missiles
2:22 protect your livers boys
What's the soundtrack at 7:50 named?
Video Tronics. You can find it over at Universal Production Music. CHAP213: Archive: Science Fiction
They don’t make em like this no more 😭😂😂
Jamie becomes shang tsung.
The most meta joke in this show is two anime veterans taking a back seat to a Jersey boy.
This show walked so Symbionic Titan could... Get absolutely screwed over
I knew cartoon network had a show with family guy style humor cutaways-except this show did it WAAAAAY better than Family Guy ever could have.
11:22 one of them was having a seizure lmao
This part right here had me laughing...3:45...😂😂😂...🤣🤣🤣...
3:29 is that the matrix of leadership?
Is it just me but at 3:29 is that supposed to be the matrix of leadership from transformers
