You NEED to stop accepting the absolute worst, most obvious scams in human history as sponsors, pretending to like them and putting them at the beginning of the video NOW. I'm tired of disliking and reporting good videos
No
Putting live-action shows with zero ties to animation in a cartoon centric channel is the equivalent of adding vegetables as an ice cream topping.
Honestly it depends on the veggie kinda maybe. Some of them like Snap Peas are sweet and might provide some nice crunch, but then again no matter which way you put it or which veggie you use, it will always taste kinda strange.
@@ranting2daMAX I think your missing the point here….ITs literally called “CARTOON NETWORK”!!!!
Animax did the same thing in my country. Instead of buying some anime they decided to rebroadcast live action show from they other channels (Like AXN)
@@HaouRex Animax? In Latin America, this channel in particular was the replacement for Locomotion (A channel dedicated to mature cartoons beyond just anime). Then, Animax got replaced by the disastrous Sony Spin after getting overloaded with Live Action shows.
How can a channel suddenly forget it’s roots and fall from grace is beyond me.
@@mintstar3703 In hungary sony was the one who own A+ and Animax. A+ is was a channel that only broadcast anime between 2004-2006.
In 2006 Sony bought and later in 2007 they renamed the channel to Animax.
in 2009 they start broadcast all kind of live action from AXN. But they still have some anime series to...
in 2012 they stop buy new anime series and all they get is more shitty live action, reality show and documentaries.
Needless to say the channel is dead later in 2014.
We don't have a single tv channel now that dedicated to anime.
Rarely get any hun dub Anime. (But not really a problem cuz the dub quality here is piece of shit)
To be fair. If Cartoon Network had to have a live action segment, shows like “Out of Jimmy’s head” probably would work best because it combined live action with animation. Therefore bringing the “real” promised in CN Real, while still keeping the “cartoon” in Cartoon Network. The only problem is it was done poorly.
Yes, I thought out of Jimmy's head was okay. All the other live action shows were garbage
That one was probably the least horrible
I don’t get why Cartoon Network decided to do live action shows in the first place when it’s literally called, "CARTOON NETWORK!"
Yeah
Exactly! Leave the live action shows to Nickelodeon and Disney Channel 🤣
Yeah. That defeats the purpose on making live-action shows when it's a channel about cartoon. CN could've been called "Live-Action Network" by now.
I believe it had something to do with the executives losing faith in animation at the time
Probably because they wanted to expand the content they had on the channel
Out of Jimmy's Head is actually a sequel series to a Cartoon Network movie Re-Animated. In the movie Jimmy gets hit by an amusement park train at a theme park based on an animator's world and characters. He was injured so badly that his brain had to be replaced. They used the brain of the animator which they kept cryogenically frozen at the theme park. Because of the animator's brain he starts seeing the cartoon characters and can speak with them. Golly Gopher was voiced by Paul Reubens or better known as Pee-Wee Herman. I remember kind of liking the movie but not the show.
Tom Kenny was also in it
Consider this: Survive This was on the same channel as Total Drama Island at the time. A cartoon parody of a reality TV show on the same channel as an actual reality TV show. To quote a certain nerd, what were they thinking?
Out of these shows, Hole in the Wall was definitely the best one. The MAD series Cartoon Network had on around that same time even parodied it as if the Chinese created it as part of the Great Wall and the Mongols had to play the game in order to attack China. I'd like to implement it to stop the Americans and those in the South from invading. I mean yeah the show's concept is stupid, but that's the point. After all, it was based off a Japanese game show, and Japanese game shows are crazy! Just look at how crazy Takeshi's Castle is or Dero! Wipeout was inspired by Japanese game shows like Takeshi's Castle and because of that, Tokyo Broadcasting System sued ABC for it.
the one live action show I actually cared about: hole in the wall.
Hole in the wall is actually lost media now

You're 100% right about Out of Jimmy's Head feeling like it was written without a laugh track because it originally wasn't, it was a decision the network decided to slap on around a quarter of the show's lifespan and because of the Writers Strike around that time, the shows writers couldn't object to the decision.
Fun fact: Many of these shows (along with Problem Solverz and Secret Mountain) never aired in Latin America at all so many of us didn’t know these shows were a thing until we discovered them online.
Weird, because I definitely remember most of these shows. Def remember watching Hole In The Wall, Dude What Would Happen, The Othersiders, Level Up, and Unnatural History. But yeah, they aired a lot of the older cartoons as well as anime.
Like, remember Votatoon? That stuff was awesome.
dude what would happen, level up, destroy build destroy and unnatural history did air (i vaguely remember seeing the first 3), they didn't last long though. and out of jimmy's head only aired on channel 5 in mexico for some reason
I envy you guys in Latin America. In Nigeria, we saw many of these awful shows and I hated them so much😂😂😂😂
"Paul Blart is a movie about the Clone Wars" is not a sentence I ever expected to hear
cartoon network making live action shows is like brushing your teeth then drinking orange juice
Not just brushing your teeth. Like, brushing your teeth with the extra minty stuff
@@bigjalapeno7061 oh fuck no
It’s like eating poop thinking it’s chocolate. I did that when I was young.
@@okjeffy6581 how are you not dead
@@okjeffy6581 oof
Those teens said "Dude, what would happen if our show got cancelled?" and Cartoon Network was like, *"Say no more".* Something I remember from that era was we were watching Jack and Jill in the theatre in 2011 and one of the commercials that came on was a preview for Incredible Crew with Jeremy Shada singing how cool it is to run errands with his mom. My mom, of course, loved it, but I was cringing so hard because it's so much "How do ya do, fellow kids?" energy.
I mean it's insane that Finn the Human and Miles Morales are in the same show, but it's like they tried to pull an Amanda Show and forgot what made that show work. Though I'm not surprised Shameik hit the big league, he was the funniest on the show by far and he's the perfect Miles Morales. I'm glad Sony recognized his talent.
I had no idea about any of this but that does sound crazy
tf
Yeah
OH GOD I hated that skit, I was so scared he was gonna replay that
Oh fuck, incredible crew was so fucking criiiingeee
Actually @26:11 "Hole In The Wall" was an original Japanese gameshow that came out back in 2008 that STILL exists to this day in Japan in fact! And CN just made a US version of it!
Also anyone remember when Level Up had a Roblox event back in 2011 to promote the show?
Also Incredible Crew kinda reminds me of SNL skits. But if they was made by Adam Sandler! 💀
Nah, Sandler was a legit cast member for SNL and can definitely come up with something funnier than Incredible Crew
This was a dark time in cartoon networks history.
Granted, CN is going through a rough time right now because of the internet overshadowing TV and the Warner Bros. Discovery merger. But at least we know they already recovered from awful eras in the past.
@@mintstar3703 people don't wanna hear this but I think Cartoon Network's decline started in 2009 and continued to this day and its worse now. No renaissance happened. Cartoon Network as a brand lost its touch in 2010. Around the same time they abandoned action shows.
@@mart5610i dunno i think the check it era was good for introducing some long running successful new shows onto the channel like AT, RS, SU and TAWOG.
That's not to say Check It was perfect though, they still continuously spammed live action shows onto the channel which kind of annoyed me, but I wanna say that I do believe the channel did improve with its original programming
As much as I hate to say this, but I'd think I rather watch Teen Titians Go! over whatever the hell we had on Cartoon Network.
@@russellgroenewoud9199regular show adventure time
"Dude, What Would Happen" sounds like a mashup of "Hey Dude" & "What Would You Do?" but the premise is just challenges on UA-cam you can only pull off if you're rich.
Honestly it’s kind of shocking how some of these actors in these live action Cartoon Network shows would go on to have pretty successful careers especially considering how this era flopped hard
Of course we had Jeremy Shada (the voice of Finn in Adventure Time and Lance in Netflix’s Voltron series) and Shameik Moore (the voice of Miles in the Spider Verse movies) in Incredible Crew, but we also had Level Up. The girl in Level Up, Aimee Carrero would go on to star as She Ra in Netflix’s She Ra cartoon and one of the guys, specifically Jessie T. Usher, would go on to play as A Train in The Boys
Oh and the guy that did rollercoaster show was a main character in New Girl
I think the reason we had CN Real was because of the writer’s strike of 2008/the recession of the time. I don’t want it to happen, but I could see them doing it again with the current writer’s strike
The writer's strike wasn't the reason for CN real. The only thing it affected on CN was Out of Jimmy's Head
@@cartoonfanatic the writers strike also had a ripple effect that helped with this decision. That’s why there was a lot of reality tv and stuff like that in the years following 2008
@@samstapltonn we had writers strike in the past too? I thought it was only 2023
@@arinhossain2100 naw bro, there was one in 2008, that’s why the second Transformers movie sucked so bad
@@samstapltonn oh okay, I didn't know that bro because at that time when first 2 live action Transformers movies came out I was kid so I was barely aware of things. I didn't we had more writers strike in the past
I wish i grew up in the good times of cartoon network, i usually hear people talking about how good it was "back in the day" ,and i have watched some of its popular shows like dexter's laboratory and ben 10 and etc...
Apparently I used to watch Dexter's Lab but I have no memory of it. It's weird
As someone who was born in 96 growing up in the 2000s era of CN along with Nickelodeon was a great time for a kid. Only thing that sucked is that you had to catch these shows when they aired, there was no streaming services.
Late 2000s was this and a bunch of Canadian cartoons.
I use to watch CN Back in the early 2000s and mid 2010s. I also had to catch the episodes and I remember crying in 2015 when I missed a rerun of a UG episode.
@@jeremyknight9980 I used to watch Nick, CN and Disney Channel
@klutz47, i lived through & witnessed what i still consider to be the best era of CN. Mid to late '90s/early 2000s.
CN Real's shows weren't bad, they just didn't belong on a cartoon channel. As their own thing, they're all fun little reality shows that likely wouldn't have been hated as much if they aired on another channel.
Thank you. Someone who doesn't hate all these shows like they're the devil or something. They were just mindless fun that didn't try to be anything they weren't. Most of them deserved better.
Conner is just an elitist with bad opinions. Don’t have to shame every show just because it’s live action.
@@mattpace1026
Not only that, but many of these shows effectively served as precursors to some of my favorite reality and game shows of all time. Without The Othersiders, Survive This and Dude What Would Happen, I might’ve never discovered Ghost Adventures, Survivor and Mythbusters.
I remember actually enjoying Dude, what would happen? and Destroy build Destroy, but for real they had no place on Cartoon Network, they would've been better suited on like Discovery Kids
Also, Tower Prep's only bright spot was Drew Van Acker, who played the main character. He went on to play Jason Dilaurentis on the teen drama Pretty Little Liars
I kinda enjoyed watching DBD because of Moist Critikal’s father.
I didn't mind CN Real when I was in middle school. As an adult, my feelings towards CN Real remain the same. But still, CN having a live action show block felt a bit out of place.
@@MikeJr9284 Yeah. I agree with you.
I agree. I’d prefer those shows on a different channel other than Cartoon Network when someone else as a CEO had to make smart decisions for Cartoon Network instead of dumping live-action stuff.
I'm trying to invent a word that describes the feeling that these shows give off, as well as shows on networks like Disney XD or that one era of nickelodeon full of bad shows. It's a feeling similar to the "how do you do fellow kids" but it also makes it seem like its cool when its not and also gives you a false sense of accomplishment for getting involved with it, there has to be a word for this uncomfortable feeling I get. and if there isn't, I'll make it myself.
"Fine. I'll do it myself." - Thanos
I remember actually kind of liking Destroy, Build, Destroy and Dude, What Would Happen? when they were on. I used to just keep Cartoon Network on my TV at the time. They're just kind of turn your brain off shows and kind of entertaining (to me anyway). I realize that they weren't for everybody though.
I remember keeping my tv on Cartoon Network mostly and flipping it to nick, Disney or boomerang every 30 min. to see which was better. but my show was jimmy because at least I was getting some kind of comity toon show.
I enjoyed Dude. What Would Happen and Destroy, Build, Destroy as well. I remember an episode of Destroy, Build, Destroy that featured Grave Digger and Maximum Destruction from Monster Jam.
That's exactly why all these cartoon hipster UA-camrs hate shows like this. Mindless fun is to them what garlic is to vampires.
One of the few good thing that came out of CN Real was that my mom took one look at "Dude, What Would Happen" when it aired and she's since always called it "Three Stupid Boys."
Also, Reanimated and Out of Jimmy's Head were guilty pleasures of mine back in the day.
I don't think I've ever even heard of most of the live action shows. I guess I wasn't missing much
three stupid boys is a much better name ngl
I still think Jimmy's Head stinks. But I will agree that the funny animated characters were the savers of the show.
I still found that scene where the penguin was making random jokes like he is in a real standup comedy pretty hilarious.
Same.
@@bigjalapeno7061 yep. just the lack of preserving these shows speaks volumes. But there was a good moment when they aired both reanimated and fosters home for imaginary friends in 3D for one night only. Both aired on Fridays and they were Halloween episodes.
Here’s a pretty good question. Did CNReal keep its promise on having it be strictly on Wednesday nights, or did it just give up and have nothing but live action crap all week long?
Honestly, Level Up was probably the least terrible of the live action shows. They knew how cartoonishly dumb the premise was and tried to have fun with it.
Interesting
Never seen the full show but I always had a soft spot for it. Clips I've seen of Level Up are kinda funny and the premise is the most cartoon live action show seen so far on CN.
My thoughts:
Destroy Build Destroy: I remember only watching one episode where it was a promotion for the Live Action Scooby-Doo movie coming up, so they had the Scooby-Doo cast as contestants and even featured the Mystery Machine. I remember thinking it was alright.
Dude What Would Happen: I think I watched this alot because it would happen to be on just before I'd go to school, so I'd often watch it while eating breakfast. But I legitimately can't remember a thing that happened in it except one episode where they went vampire hunting to see if Twilight Vampires or Classic Vampires are easier to kill, which I actually think sounds pretty cool in concept.
Level Up: OK, I can't lie, I legitimately loved this show. I haven't watched it recently so I can't verify if I still do, I just remember loving all the Monster designs and all the villains.
Incredible Crew: Can't lie with this one either but I loved it. In fact there's some jokes that I still replay in my head to this day despite not seeing it for years. Kinda ironic that it sorta mirrors Waffles opinion as I never really understood the appeal of Game Grumps.
All the other shows I never watched because I didn't care enough to see them. I think I might've seen the pilot for Out of Jimmy's Head and thought it was OK, but besides that I never saw the show.
I love Triastan Pasterick in Incredible Crew, it’s too bad he stopped acting.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the one thing I remember from BrainRush was that a kid was asked what the name of Nemo's father was from Finding Nemo. He said "Merlon" or something, with his answer spelled out onscreen. He got the answer wrong (It's "Marlin"), but it was still registered as a correct answer and he got a cash prize for it. That was what instantly solidified for me that the show was not worth my time.
Ok, there is one other thing I remember. A kid was asked to name-drop as many transformers as possible, and he could only name the three on the poster/cover of the first Michael Bay movie (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron).
On another note, I gotta say, at least "The Othersiders" had the most creative title out of all these ghost trend shows.
Oh, yeah, and Tower Prep was rad; easily the best part of CN real. That show was Paul Dini's baby, and it's a crying shame how things turned out. By some bizarre coincidence, it seems I just started revisiting the show ON THE EXACT SAME DAY you uploaded this. Things might've gone over more smoothly and be able to take its concepts, setpieces, and action scenes further if he stuck to his strengths in animation (as well as Cartoon Network's strengths), but the end-result was still intriguing all the same. It's been an inspiring work for me, as I've grown up with it influencing a series script of mine, making sure to avoid its pitfalls as it's completely independent and as animated as possible.
It shows that the best thing about Incredible Crew is not even about the show itself, that being one of the voice actors went on to star in my favorite movie franchise of all time, which is the Spiderverse Franchise!
I liked incredible crew as a kid (and still do as an adult).
It's basically The Whitest Kids U Know but for kids.
I'd argue that Cartoon Network had to hit this low in order to course correct almost immediately into their Renaissance. Helped that they had 2 fantastic cartoons in this era to transition us into the Cartoon Network Renaissance. These 2 cartoons, if not obvious, were Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. And Flapjack is very much an origin point of the creators for so many of the greatest cartoons of the following era like Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Gravity Falls. So I think that show specifically deserves a lot of credit for the CN Renaissance, (and the overall TV cartoon Renaissance of the era, not just limited to Cartoon Network).
The Cartoon Network renaissance wasn't real and didn't happen. Live action shows were still being heavily pushed on the network long after this "renaissance" started. New logo means nothing
The primary reasons CNReal sucked like this was because of the Writers Strike. Because these were more just throw ideas at a wall and film it with a minimal camera crew, they were far cheaper and let themselves stay on the air. Once the strike was over, that's when we got the revival shows like Adventure Time and Gumball.
BUT!...Now we are in the midst of yet another writers strike; this time with the rise of AI bots. We could see some really terrible things happening in the near future.
The only CN show that was affected from the strike was Out of Jimmy's Head. All the other shows weren't affected since they were covered by The Animation Guild and not The Writer's Guild of America
@@cartoonfanatic Really? I thought this entire era of live action was because of the strike. It's why we got the huge push of reality shows and others similar.
hole in the wall is actually very nostalgic for me because someone remade it on roblox and i used to play it all the time
you know this era was unpopular because most of the media produced by it are lost media in some way or another
like, when it came to Latin America, we didn't get most of the Live Action Shows available in the USA ( specially the one about the kid with a Walt Disney like brain in his head that made him see cartoons talking to him in real life, we got the movie, but I never knew about the show until just recently, about 1 and a half year ago )
This change was the reason why my favorite shows, Flapjack was canceled early
I'm still mad about Misadventures of Flapjack not getting a proper ending!
Some of these old cartoon network shows were parodied on MAD.
This era of Cartoon Network happened long before I realized media could be bad, and even I (a stupid 7 year old) knew that these shows did not belong in the Network.
I don’t care what you say Destroy Build Destroy, Dude What Would Happen and Hole in the Wall was one of the best shows for me in my childhood
Near damn no one remembers it and it was cut so short but tower prep was really good. And was doing stuff that Wednesday, the magicians, and all these other schools of magic and powers did way before it was popular.
Destroy Build Destroy was just okay. It was more game show type with kids in it. Dude What Would Happen is stupid funny. Hole in the Wall is ass and was originally from a different network. i think FOX
@@mart5610 I never saw the original FOX version ether way it was fun
@@UndeadVideoProdTower Prep is GOATed. Such an awesome show, shelved because of lack of female audience.
This era screams writer's strike!!! 😤😤😤
i was addicted to cartoon network when i was young, it's sad they got downhill so quickly.
*A lot of new Cartoon Network fans who think CN had some sort of renaissance in the early 2010s with new cartoons like Adventure Time, Regular Show and Gumball fail to realize that CN was still pushing new live action shows during this time. 2009 to 2013 if I'm correct. Long after the "renaissance" started and logo change.*
*2000s Cartoon Network will forever be missed*
Tbf i think CN was atleast putting more emphasis on the animation stuff than the live action stuff although I could be wrong
@@jadenbryant9283 It wasn't I remember them playing Incredible Crew and Destroy Build Destory a lot when the new cartoons were on. Probably more so than in 2009 because CN Real was originally a block on Wednesday nights.
Nah, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, Young Justice, Generator Rex, Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc, The Looney Tunes show, and eventually Steven Universe later on, were enough for CN to put its focus on more of its Renaissance shows by then. The only year the live-action shows were super advertised was in 2009 with CN Real, and CN Real got cancelled in early 2010 right before the CHECK it era began. The Noods era of the late 00's was trash, it was responsible for killing a lot of what made CN great in the late 90's and early 00's.
Also, there was already forms of live-action on CN long before then. Re-Animated movie from 2006, led to Out Of Jimmy's Head being created in 2007, that's what started it all, and the "Fall Is Something That Grownups Invented" theme CN had was also live-action territory as well and killed CN at the time. Well before that. If you ask me, Everything between Re-Animated in late 2006 and CN Real in 2009 (including the Fall 2007 era) was more live-action than any other period in CN's history.
@@mqgTWO96 before 2009 there was Reanimated which was just a movie and that 1 show Out of Jimmy's Head. And that lasted really for a year during the Fall era. Anything else live action was the block Fridays or fried dynamite. And those Ben 10 movies. CN Real was a block only on Wednesday nights. 1 day out of the week in 2009 compared to constant showings throughout the week of Incredible Crew, Destroy, and Hole in the Wall during the "renaissance". And the Noods era was kinda cool. Branding was on point and Flapjack and Chowder carried the network along with Total Drama and Star Wars Clone Wars. Ed Edd n Eddy was still going and Billy and Mandy and Foster's were ending. And some old shows were still re airing. By 2010 they started playing old shows and action shows less to focus on new cartoons and live action. Thats why they changed the logo in 2010 if you didn't know
@@mqgTWO96don't forget about Star Wars The Clone Wars
Oh it WAS the worst era of Cartoon Network but NOT anymore as now Cartoon Network is full of nothing but WOKE CRAP these days.
Andrew WK is also a Gundam Fan and did a cover album for the OG 0079 series.
Pretty righteous dude.
I remember watching Incredible Crew and somewhat enjoying it back in my elementary school days although I barely any of the sketches. The only ones that I can kind of remember are “my foot’s asleep” and another where they fuse stuff together and make this poorly rendered robot thing and that’s all there is. But the thing that really stuck with me is that catchy ass intro, how many of you still bumpin’ to that?
Jeremy Shada is also the voice of Lance in Voltron: Legendary Defender and GingerBrave in Cookie Run Kingdom.
That's kinda interesting
This is the first video I’ve seen from you after not watching for 3 years! I’m glad you’ve stayed the same!
Damn that poor red Volkswagen beetle been through alot in "Dude What Would Happen?" 😭
It's ironic how CN managed to profit off live-action series that almost overshadowed animated shows, yet the channel's name is called "CARTOON Network" for a reason, which completely defeats the purpose on why CN Real was made in the first place.
I really do glad Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Gumball are successful enough to save CN from its downfall.
Will you do a video about Toonami? It was one of my favorite Cartoon Network blocks as a kid 😏
First video of yours I’ve come across and you’re really well spoken and this video was really entertaining thanks for posting your videos!
I thankfully barely remember this. Though it was "that era" that I dropped the channel and never looked back.
I remember enjoying Dude What Would Happen, Incredible Crew, and Hole in the Wall. Destroy Build Destroy I didn't watch much and Level up sounds familiar, but I never heard of the rest of these shows. I remember watching DWWH again when it was on Netflix and still liking it a bit, but I get the many problems it and these other shows may face. At least it was an interesting attempt... Also its been a while since I watched a ConnerTheWaffle vid.
I don't think I've ever watched any of the live action shows honestly. Back in those days I mostly went to Cartoon Network for Pokemon and Beyblade and not much else. It was around that time when I was first starting to get into Pokemon and Beyblade
@bigjalapeno7061 Fair enough. I mean, even if you have watched them. They are easy to forget at times.
@@TheBlazingBronzeBro Yea I'd probably either forget or not like them
12 year old me didn't give a fuck about the rollercoasters, I've never liked them. I gave a fuck about the money those kids were winning. Did you see that one kid win $750? That's like hitting the lottery as a kid. I could've bought so many video games.
Hell, even now as a 25 year old, $750 is still a substantial amount of money to me. Probably put a hundred or two towards a Steam Deck and the rest in savings.
Kid Danger: *wearing his mighty pup movie outfit* For the love of Princess Luna! Danny Phantom HAS ghosts and Danny Phantom fights the ghosts! Holy goat!
I don't think Cartoon Network is just about what you grew up on. It's about watching new shows as they come out and engaging with the community, in my opinion.
If I had a nickel for everytime a black superhero was on a Cartoon Network live-action show, I would have 2 nickels. Which granted, it isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Destroy Build Destroy is the only one that fits in with Cartoon Network, tbh. Even if it's live-action, at least the main host has a more cartoony tone.
Not to mention that he actually appeared 3 times in their animated works.
Wait really?
What were some of the other things he appeared on in CN?
@@wraithsage2399 Aqua Teen (which he actually appeared in before DBD), MAD and Uncle Grandpa.
I chalk a lot of this up to wrong place, wrong time. Some of these shows were kinda interesting, but but not at all suited for *Cartoon* Network. They seem more in line with a kids block on Discovery Channel or CW. It's like they didn't have faith they'd stand a chance there and dumped them on CN for a captive audience.
they did my boy Andrew WK dirty by giving him such an awful show.
i think they should've done something like Eric Andre with him, just have him troll people in public and maybe interview celebrities and fuck with them the whole time, that would've been awesome.
like, Andrew is already a live action cartoon character, i feel like letting him loose on an unsuspecting crowd would create absolute TV gold.
Don’t forget this all happened because of Boston’s idiocy to not tell the difference between a Mooninite and a BOMB
Hole in the wall first originated in Japan titled Human Tetris. it was a huge hit with Japanese audiences which was copied by other countries like Australia And yes over here in the States
24:20 Out of Jimmy's Head looks like a cross between Lizzie McGuire and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. On acid.
I swear there was a show that was either on nick or Disney channel where there were these 3 kids in sone sort of action show and there was a part halfway through where they had this mystery on which of the 3 characters was a spy and it was super obvious it was gonna be the comic relief kid who gets replaced because why would they give up the pretty boy and the action girl?
1:38 cartoon network is still going strong
Meanwhile losing it's hours to adult swim
imma say it, the part with punching bag filled with whipped cream straight up reminds me of a certain sticky white substance.
which is exactly why i'm glad the show died, dunno how that happened on cartoon network
I actually enjoyed Out of Jimmy's Head as a kid. And I remember the movie explained that he can see those cartoon characters after he got in an accident at a Disney World type of amusement park, and to avoid bad publicity, the owners offered his family to pay for his surgery where he also was given the brain of the guy who created the characters of the amusement park
I'm SO glad I was born in 1987 and missed the live action cartoon network junk by a wide margin. I DO remember destroy build destroy and just wondering what its purpose was. It was like it was trying to be mythbusters but failing miserably. I didn't tune into ANY other live action cartoon network show.
Born in 87 as well, I remember cartoon network before they had Dexter's lab and Powerpuff girls. Just non stop reruns of old Hanna Barbera cartoons, Looney Toons, and a handful of action cartoons like Captain Planet and (the far superior) Swat Kats. I only caught these live action shows on accident, tuning into Adult Swim an hour or so too early.
Destroy Build Destroy sums up CN Real perfectly.

i remember being legit upset during this time because nick also had some boring live action shows going on (naked brothers band).and im pretty sure i resorted to watching qubo. i do wish i couldve been on that brain rush show though, i dont scream on rides at all so i wouldve cleaned house.
I actually remember watching Dude, What Would Happen, Hole in the Wall, and Destroy Build Destroy on television as a kid, and I actually enjoyed those shows. I also recognized that the music at 11:34 is from the first stage of Parappa the Rapper 2.
The interesting thing that I noticed about brain rush was that it was filmed at someplace I would later go on to work at haha but I didn't really watch the show until watching this video, so now I see it and I'm like "oh thats xcelerator and silver bullet" lol
I honestly think i was in a great depression cause i vaguely remember these shows and I was in high school at this time. I remember not liking destroy build destroy or the in jimmy head. But omg everything else 😂
At least Shameik Moore of Incredible Crew got a happy ending with playing Miles Morales.
Damn I remember stopping watching CN for good around the time I'd turn it on and Destroy Build Destroy was on
Dude: *jumps into water*
Other Dude: WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
DUDE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? Would be a perfect meme
The point of the Megamouth Shark question is that he read you a short story and you had to answer 6 questions about it. If you had remembered, you would have known.
I remember actually liking tower prep but no one I knew at the time or know now remembers this show its almost like I was the only one watching 😂
If I’m being honest I loved incredible crew when it aired. I enjoyed the UA-cam skit humor. I can understand why some ppl didn’t like it, but it will always have a special place in my heart
After hearing about Dan Schneider allegations and how Nickelodeon treated their child stars in the late 90s to early 2010s makes feel like we were too harsh to CN real
I still have Vietnam-style flashbacks of the ‘Fart in a Jar’ song.
Yea that was bad but that was Nickelodeon. Not Cartoon Network
@@bigjalapeno7061 Huh. I swear I thought it was something that happened in 'Dude. What Would Happen'. I guess I remembered wrong.
@@koolsteins Yea it was just a stupid segment between commercial breaks. I think most of those things were bad
@@bigjalapeno7061 One in particular that I have fond memories of is the Presidents song that aired during the 2008 Election period.
@@koolsteins I don't think I've seen that one
I remember Destroy, Build, Destroy and Dude, What Would Happen lasting a good couple of years. By the end of 2009 no one even remembered the Othersiders or Brainrush or Survive This or Bobby Says.
Creo que esos dos fueron los únicos programas que se transmitieron aquí en Latinoamérica
I deeply remember watching Hole In The Wall on CN when I was a kid, hell I even went to the Cn website and played the ACTUAL GAME they made based off the show. A really weird premise that I don't hear a lot of people talk about.
Also I never got the silver body suits.
I have to admit something. I liked Dude, What Would Happen over Fetch with Ruff Ruffman. I personally think the Dudes' stunts are more entertaining than Ruff's missions. Plus the former had a better soundtrack (the one good thing about bad shows.) Destroy Build Destroy is the best one however as it is an original idea that CN would do. (There's even a reference to it on Uncle Grandpa where the host make a guest appearance.)
I remember watching an episode of The Othersiders. I think it was when they were investigating an abandoned hospital in L.A. since then, I've repressed that memory since I was too young to get it
I have a memory of them on a ship
I got arrested at the abandoned hospital in Downey once. Assuming they explored the same one, Hollydale.
@@wolfhoodlum1789 No joke, That episode is a big reason why I'm scared of Hospitals. Not only was it scary as a kid but as an adult who should know better, it still feels like something is watching me whenever I go into any hospital
Thank God Chowder, Flapjack, Ben 10, Total Drama, and Clone Wars were also on during this time. Otherwise, Cartoon Network would be dead!
As well as the woefully underrated Camp Lazlo, reruns of Billy and Mandy, and I think Gumball was on around then too.
@@locoardilla8084 I think it came on after Adventure time which was 2010
No the penguin seems to sound more Yakko than SpongeBob to me😂
I'm still upset all these years later Tower Prep ended on a cliffhanger with no resolution after they escaped.
5:00 that was my issue too, and it felt like that's all CN would put on for a while there.
I absolutely hated it.
I started playing minecraft at that point and said goodbye to TV almost completely.
I used to love the old Cartoon Network when there was Ed edd and eddy, Dexter laboratory, the grim adventures of billy and mandy, cow and chicken, and Courage the Cowardly Dog and more sucks how they ruin it
What part of Cartoon Network didn't they understand? Still, at least it's better than what CN has now with the garbage pit they're making
I always loved Live Action Cartoon Network shows and movies as a kid.
19:24 Survive this suena interesante ya que básicamente uno de los programas mas exitosos de cartoon network 2010- actualidad es drama total el cual tiene el mismo concepto solo que es un show animado
I grew up in the very tail end of the 90s and through the 2000s so I got some of the old school Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Lab etc but mostly saw stuff like Billy & Mandy, Fosters and Teen Titans. I loved it all though. As I grew older I shifted more towards Disney Channel and seeing this crap boy am I glad I did.
Like. Destroy, Build, Destroy just seems like someone on the crew watched one episode of Scrapheap Challenge and said "What if it was teenagers instead of engineers, and had more explosions."
the only Cartoon Network show I watched was Steven Universe, which is probably one of the best even though it wasn’t really from the ‘golden era’.
I’m so glad I didn’t grow up in this weird era
So, how long until you do a full-on Cartoon Network or Nick retrospective?
I’m surprised that the live action movies weren’t mentioned.
In the case of Out of Jimmy's Head,it felt like they were shooting A Ned's Declassified style show but was told to add the laugh tracks afterwards.
