@@grinningweirdo4888 not to mention multiple characters "cheat" throughout the show and do unexpected things. I get they wanted to show that cheaters never win, but he didn't cheat this ONE time.
It's funny because Dick really did win a race legitimately once, but they edited the footage to make it look like he cheated. No, srsly, he crosses the finish line first, but they do a 'rewind' that makes it look like he cheated by extending the nose of his car when we clearly saw he didn't. And even if he did cheat, another racer pulled a similar stunt to win in a different race (stretching their neck to cross the line first) but wasn't disqualified.
That was Rufus Roughcut who did the neck-stretching bit. A lot of the other racers cheat, like Prof. Pat Pending, the Slag Brothers, the Anthill Mob -- to name just a few.
I like that it’s established how Dick is actually so good at racing now, that he has time to fall asleep at the finish line while waiting for the other racers.
Thank you, Brian. I was hoping someone would say it first. And further, He can never replace Paul Winchell at any of his characters. As much as he makes a very good Winnie, He doesn't capture the purriness of Tigger, which Paul did, instead, he gives him an ego, which Paul's Tigger didn't have. And as for Dick Dastardly, He just sounds like he is trying too hard.
I honestly think it isn't going far enough. For one thing, have the antagonists be a whole dynasty of dastardlies! Have the main racer be under the tutelage of Dick who cannot race due to the conditions of his parol.

Considering this was pitched to Cartoon Network? Because CN doesn't have good taste anymore. Remember, this is the same company that now, last time I checked, pretty much plays only Teen Titans Go, and thought Thunder Cats Roar was a good idea.
@@angelangelis8362 let's not forget about masterpieces that were cancelled beacause of toys, like Synbionic Titan, the cg Green Lantern show, The Batman and a lot more of good catoons that were cancelled.
Jeff Bennett (Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, The Penguins of Madagascar) is always one of my favorite voice actor along with Tom Kenny, Rob Paulsen, Jeremy Shada, Seth Green, and Seth MacFarlane. That's why he is voicing Peter Perfect here.
I feel like this is the best way to do a reboot. Updating the animation, designs and music while keeping the original tone and staying true the characters
sadlobster1 So true. I guess CN thought they were not going to be able to portray them without offending some stupid people who will whine about gangsters being inappropriate for a kids' show.
Vice Roy: Remember, if it weren’t for me, you two would be flying around in a plane chasing a dumb bird Dick Dastardly: It’s not our fault that pigeon was clever
RW:Well,well,well this is a pleasant surprise ^_^ especially when the voice of Dick Dastardly is none other than the Legendary voice actor himself Jim Cummings.😁
The fact that Peter Perfect and Penelope Pitstop got married and had children named Parker and Piper, keeping the PP brand, really catches my attention.
I love how they straight up reference how Dastardly has ALWAYS been practically at the finish line, but always looses because he chooses not to win without cheating. If I were a racing god as well, having victory served every time would be too boring 😈
Dick boutta make a raunchy interview about his cartoon band's latest album with that voice. but yeah, TBH I love this pilot. Prof. Pat Pending going full-on mad scientist feels natural for some reason, and I'd expected the new Gruesome Twosome to get a fair amount of following after we met them better. the car designs are top-notch.
Imagine what would've become of a rebooted Wacky Races if Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone were exec. producers. Both men would've looked at the original Wacky Races from Hanna-Barbera. They would've done their own interpretation, but with respect to the original show, too. Steve Bernstein would've handled the music scores for that show. Who knows?
@@BullseyeRey oh! Oh! I know! Maybe he married a perfectly sane and normal woman, and they have a nice and wholesome relationship despite him being a supervillain
SO THAT’S WHERE I REMEMBER HIM FROM. HIS VOICE SOUNDED SO FAMILIAR! Though, I feel like I’m forgetting where else I heard his voice in....hold on...I think he voiced Harry Osborn in Spectacular Spider-Man and Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe!
Now this looked like a better reboot then that other one. It has more of the racers and I loved the redesigned Bouldermoblie and Convert-a-car plus the Creepy Coupe looked more dynamic.. Wonder if they would've done the other racers as well
Probably. This was only a pilot so they only needed enough cars to show the concept. More than likely more cars (old and new) would have been added had the series been picked and it had more money/resources.
I know that's not canon but I'm pretty sure that Dick Dastardly is just avoiding the One Punch Man Problem here: He knows he is the best driver in all of history. He can get so far ahead of the competition every time that it is no challange for him at all. So instead of living a life of emtpy victories he made his own goals: I will only win by cheating! So every race is a challange for him and deep inside he enjoys it!
I am willing to start a petition #WackyRacesForever I love the idea of a continuation to one of my favorite Hannah Barbara shows, so get this trending on Twitter, UA-cam, anywhere.
If this had been tweaked a bit and polished, it could've been a great reboot and I probably would've gotten into the franchise much sooner. That being said, I di greatly enjoy the og series as well as the reboot (which seems to have kept some of ideas such as a semi evil/cheating Pitstop relative)
Dick Dastardly and Muttley are my favorite because the remind me myself and my brother (Dick personally is the best of the duo because he was played by Jim Cummings one of my favorite actors)
“No Muttly, we can’t win a race Fairly. We are villains, ergo we have to Cheat.” I’ll give the man one thing, he certainly commits to his role.
Ever since he won the race fairy AND STILL was cheated of his ACTUAL win, he's just given up and tries to make everyone's lives sucky
He was placed at the finish line. Would it really have been an unfair win?
Bite that still annoys me that he was cheated out of a fair win by clearly doctored footage
@@grinningweirdo4888 not to mention multiple characters "cheat" throughout the show and do unexpected things.

Everyone cheats in the Wacky Race though.

The announcer is racist towards evil mustaches.
Maybe that's why he is cheating because he knows that they'll say he cheats if he does fairly
RW: that is so true I remember watching that part
Fact fiend With Karl Smallwood?
That was Rufus Roughcut who did the neck-stretching bit. A lot of the other racers cheat, like Prof. Pat Pending, the Slag Brothers, the Anthill Mob -- to name just a few.
I like that it’s established how Dick is actually so good at racing now, that he has time to fall asleep at the finish line while waiting for the other racers.
i mean he always was good at racing. The whole thing with him is that he would get ahead of the racers then he would cheat to make sure he keeps it.
Ah, to finally hear Dick Dastardly being voiced by Jim Cummings is one thing that makes me ahappy in my head place
Jim Cummings is good as Dick Dastardly, but he could never beat Paul WInchell, the original voice of DD.

No Mutley we can't win fairly, we're villains.Ergo we have to cheat. I love that line.
It show shows after all that time he's still pretty dumb
Mutley in doggish "Are you doped out of your mind???"
Its cool without being edgy, its goofy but with some elements of seriousness and it does it all without clashing..... How did it not get green lit

Can we all just appreciate how Dastardly could pretty much win Every race he participated in if he wanted to Without even cheating ?
Yeah, but remember what happened the last time he does that
ironically dastardly was cheated out of his win. @@frankhorrigan1508
He would if he ever stop cheating, that is.
Yeah know, HBO MAX needs content. This could be something worth revisiting.
0:40 Did Fred Jones Wander into the Gorillaz Universe?
My thoughts exactly
Yes, he did wandered into the Gorillaz Universe.
@John Collins no
John Collins no just no and again no
Well the Gorillaz had inspirations from UPA, and they created limited animation, so it makes sense
The art style is like a weird mixture of Gorillaz and Totally Spies

And you should dislike seth macfarlane rather than favorite him ok?
Too bad we didn't get to hear Muttly swearing. I always loved that "RACKA-FRACKA-BRACKA"
You forgot the “Rick Rastardly” part at the end

Wait...
Peter Perfect. Parker Perfect.
Peter Parker.

I mean, it’s less a reboot and more a sequel
This is better than the 2017 reboot. But still cant beat the original
It is better than the reboot. When did they begin hiring third grade kids to write their scripts for them?
I actually like the 2017 reboot. Except...I wish they would've included the Ant Hill Mob among the racers, like the old show did

they all look alike anyway
So thats why the new wacky racers felt off compared to it; it was nothing like this. This felt well... wacky, crazy, chaos!

So Penelope and Peter to ally tied the knot. Not a bad reboot if you ask me
Maybe Dick should have some family help. I imagine a granddaughter

SO THAT’S WHERE I REMEMBER HIM FROM. HIS VOICE SOUNDED SO FAMILIAR! Though, I feel like I’m forgetting where else I heard his voice in....hold on...I think he voiced Harry Osborn in Spectacular Spider-Man and Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe!
Pretty sure the character who is the sister was also Angela Cross from Ratchet and Clank 2

Probably. This was only a pilot so they only needed enough cars to show the concept. More than likely more cars (old and new) would have been added had the series been picked and it had more money/resources.
Can we even call this the Boulder-mobile?
This feels like this was made today as a throwback to the 2000s
I can hear, that Jim Cummins used his Darkwing Duck voice for Dick Dastardly.
While I liked the 2017 Wacky Races and would love to see it come back, this didn't look too bad.

So every race is a challange for him and deep inside he enjoys it!
I don't know, maybe he's losing by cheating and then making bank by betting against himself.
Some things never change.

Okay, for the blond-haired racer, was that James Arnold Taylor?
4:00 yes, that’s him.
is that James Arnold Taylor as that brother character?
Ratchetrpg01 Yes
As someone whos watched the Animatrix, hearing supermoves playing at the start was a delightful suprise
I haven’t seen wacky racers in aaaages I’m gonna have to watch some soon
Hearing Jim Cummings as Dick Dastardly is something, but for some reason he nearly sounds like Tiggers original VA
That's because Paul Winchell originally voiced both Tigger and Dick Dastardly and Jim is more or less his widely used understudy/impersonator.
Was *not* expecting Supermoves
The Pilot Episode of Wacky Races Forever, from 2006 Is Not picked Up Cartoon Network ❤

Is no one really gonna talk about 1:27
This pilot is also super charming
Her line makes me question a few things once i heard Dick Dastardly say this one 3:36
Alright, I recognized Supermoves by Overseer, but what was the second track?
Why is Penelope Pitstop's daughter not talking with a Southern accent?
brian sedlock 1st person who's ever to ask about her accent .
thank you. Why is the Slag Brothers' car made completely out of bones? It was made out of a boulder which gave it the name Bouldermobile.
It’s still mostly made out of rocks. It just also has a triceratops skeleton fossilized into it.
Fits with the whole “prehistoric” theme of their car.
Vocal accents aren’t genetic.
SegaMaster172 Plus the bones possibly adds some extra protection.
Beautiful. Its very fast and wacky. Some of the cars look really bad ass actually.
Wow, this is amazing, i wasn't aware of this. Sadly they never make an actual series from this 😢
Even when i missed some of the other racers
Whoa this is amazing!!!! I absolutely love Jim Cummings as Dick Dastardly! Why couldn't the new show be like this?!
