The whole concept was recycled from a series of commercials for HA! The Comedy Network (they later merged with another channel and changed their name to Comedy Central).They all had a guy doing a bunch of wacky stuff and going "Is this funny? I don't know! I'm asking!" It worked better as an ad than as a cartoon.
Also I don’t like he was getting squish flat by giant purple foot I don’t hate slap t poch because Nickelodeon shouldn’t do that to him that was mean gross an weird
I had looked for this for around ten years I remember me and my dad watching it on nick on a thanksgiving marathon around 2007 or 2008, and thought it was completely lost media when I searched for gingerbread men in prison, and could not find it for around ten years even posted about it on lost media on Reddit at one point. One day a couple of years ago I told my friend the story and he found it in 5 minutes lol thank you uploading and not letting this be lost and bringing back a fun thanksgiving memory!
I finally found this after like 10 years...This sht was TRAUMATISING. I always recognised it from the intro song and it always creeped me the f out.Whenever they would play this at night I knew I should change channels or I wouldn't sleep at night. Scariest parts for my younger self were: 1:09 , 1:40 , 2:13 , 2:53
Seeing this now,makes me wish Cosmo (from Fairly Oddparents) were in Slap's place doing these things trying to make Poof (or anybody) laugh. XD. And cause Darren Norris voices Slap and Cosmo.
I like the characters of Slap T. Pooch and the Tough Cookies, I just think that the concept of asking what is funny is something that you should never do when your trying to be funny. Sometimes things are funny just because they make no sense like that one Gingerbread man saying “I’m not a muffin” XD. They could’ve done this like Rocko’s Modern Life where you have this cool minded character in this crazy insane world. Also that choir with that farmer and his animals are very obnoxious, I feel like I’m gonna beat up that farmer and his friends if I hear him say “what is funny ?” one more time. Also it’s cool seeing this character appear in The Rugrats Movie in the Nickelodeon logo !!
To bad he hasn’t shown up or made series of him to also I don’t like the part he got squished by purple foot 🦶 but me I don’t like it was rude mean an gross weird to also I wish we see more of him
This was such a smart, layered cartoon; there's just so much going on. The surrealism, the nonsensical choir and almost haunting little tune, the David Attenborough-style voice, the slapstick played totally straight meshing with the meta questions about humor and craft and cartoons (especially visceral, 90s era ones in the vein of Ren and Stimpy.) You could make the argument that it's not really supposed to be funny, and yet it manages it anyway.
4:47-5:27 I never thought I'd enjoy hearing criminally insane gingerbread men doing a blues number while attempting a jailbreak (never thought I say that like a normal sentence either).
i love this cartoon. the background music is so catchy and addicting, the dog and the randomness. its just completely insane its awesome. cheers to the creator thanks for the weirdness.
Brandon Panek same here I looked for it for years and couldn't find it till today. To put in to perspective I searched for 9 years and my friend found it in about ten minutes.
My favorite part was reading the sign of "Prison of the Criminally Insane Gingerbread Men". It was random like everything else, but one that just rolls off the tongue that even hearing it bursts into chuckles. And of course, the criminally insane gingerbread men have the personalities to match from singing to insane mantras to even "did you take a bite out of me?!"
i can see why this didn't get its own series, this is one of the most repetitive and inconsistent shorts I've ever seen all the main character does in the short is ask if anything that is happening in the short is comedic. while the singers are repeating the words what is funny like they think people will forget the title of this cartoon, i get it writers this cartoon is called what is funny. but do you really have to constantly hammer it down to the audience every second that you got? and the story completely goes from having this short be about a dog trying to ask the audience if anything he does is funny to this Gingerbread Men jail plot. either stick with one plot or the other plot guys
This is... really bad. No wonder it didn't get picked up, the jokes fall flat, the concept isn't great, and the show is just annoying. But I will say... I think you could have done something with the concept of someone who can just *change the reality of the cartoon,* and use cartoon logic to get out of situations. Like what if Slap was stuck in the vat, and used the thumb-tacks to launch himself out, due to pain in cartoons usually being portrayed as the character being launched in the air? You can do so much with that idea, I feel....
@@excitablepack7076He should have taken lessons from the masters of comedy,like The Looney Tunes Gang for example,instead of making comedy that is not funny,like being locked up in The Prison For Criminally Insane Gingerbread Men with Criminally Insane Gingerbread Men for example.
You can knead us with your hands. Or you flatten us in pans. You can stick us in your oven but there's no heat cause we can dance .because we're tough cookies , tough cookies, You can cook us , you bake , but we won't break because we're tough cookies
Yes well he was first on oh yea cartons and short but someone had to put him intro he got stomp by a giant foot purple creature or human can’t tell whoever’s that is 😒
He is asking what is funny and what makes people laugh. he isn't trying to be funny, he is asking if it's gross or if it makes no sense, is it funny? he asking what is not how it is.
This is a much better concept than it is in practice. Nothing is more unfunny than asking if a joke is funny (nor is it at all entertaining)
The singing criminally insane ginger bread men were the only absurdly humorous bit in the entire short.
I don't know. The gags are more funnier than the dog asking what is funny alot.

Fun Fact: Slap T. Pooch appears in the Nickelodeon Movies Logo Intro of the Rugrats Movie
He was this close to being Nickelodeon's mascot.
@@DilanCommunications how
Also I don’t like he was getting squish flat by giant purple foot I don’t hate slap t poch because Nickelodeon shouldn’t do that to him that was mean gross an weird
@horridhenryperfectpetertom2621 shut up 😒
Him getting squashed by Thorg was funny because he's an annoying jackass with a bland personality
Does anyone else feel like Slap T. Pooch is relatable to someone who can't figure out how to make jokes?
Mi vida no hay de perfil
This whole cartoon is a six minute version of Bojack Horseman asking "Do you get it?"
Good ol' Nickelodeon Cartoons! :)
"What is funny?" I bet today's nickelodeon's writers for the live action shows wonder the same thing. LOL!
Should I mentioned the drama shows?
@Rhoda Bernardo true me I feel bad 😔 he got stomp an he didn’t deserve it but me I wanna know why he got stomp by giant purple foot an stomp for
For some reason, this would make a good Dr. Seuss book if the scripts have rhyming words.
The cartoon wore thin easily due to the overuse of Slap breaking the fourth wall every 15 seconds.
+twist58 I understand. But that's the basic plot. A dog is pondering on the subject of humor, and what makes a gag in a cartoon funny.
Yosef Demby Comparing it to say, Looney Tunes' brand of humor, Slap T. Pooch doesn't stand a chance.
+twist58 True. True. In a way, it's more philosophical than funny.
as well as that chorus
@@twist58 Or Deadpool.
Always loved this short and the soundtrack!🤣
The musical number was good, but I didn't care for the short itself.

It aired in 2007 as part of the super stuffed Nickelodeon thanksgiving marathon.
He later became mascot for nick movies
Yea but only one but he should been own by Nickelodeon second their were stupid for putting him on rugrats movie 1998 intro and that was stupid 😒

That stupid moron hate slap t pooch an he hates him also he’s responsible for slap t pooch got stomp by a giant purple foot 🦶 rugrats movie 1998
Sadly, Slap T. Pooch was 4gotten after he disappeared on the beginning to THE Rugrats MOVIE.
He was on intro and stepped by giant and nothing
I wonder what happened to him hope he’s not forgotten 🥺
Seeing this now,makes me wish Cosmo (from Fairly Oddparents) were in Slap's place doing these things trying to make Poof (or anybody) laugh. XD. And cause Darren Norris voices Slap and Cosmo.

i love this cartoon. the background music is so catchy and addicting, the dog and the randomness. its just completely insane its awesome. cheers to the creator thanks for the weirdness.
The music is way spookier than I remember it being.
I feel like this was a fun idea for a short, but it's... just... well, not funny.
say what you want about this short, but this is as a whole is far more entertaining than the entirety of current day nick sitcoms.

They should of used Slap T. Pooch in the Fairly Odd Parents for the fairly odd pet instead of Sparky.
Agree
But I love Sparky, they should've used him Instead of Chloe
@@TJZOfficial sure 😒
I didn’t even know this dog character had a cartoon short I only remember him rom watching rugrats movie 1 on vhs
I never like they put him in that ulgy logo intro not I hate slap t Pooch the stupid logo intro logo footprint an giant stomp on him an they made him
This cartoon was cool.
+Brandon Panek Cool.
i recorded that but fucking recorded over it like a dumbass

isn't that the dog from the 1998 nickelodeon movies logo that was shown before the rugrats movie?

Yea but feel bad he got hurt an stomp for

An also he was shown on cameo movie called the rugrats movie intro vsh he got stomp by giant purple foot but it was bad werid an gross ow 🤕
The way I can see this work if it was an edutainment series that teaches viewers the fundamentals of comedy.
@@jacomaniaassuperdriveminion sure 😒
I honestly wish it was more about the criminally insane gingerbread men.
@@Vinny792 sure whatever moron 😒
I think I figured out who voiced Slap!
Daran Norris!
Internet says it's Vincent Waller, who also directed the short.
It's 2024, SpongeBob is still king of Nicktoons while Slap is a janitor fixing toilets
Fun fact slap T pooch was angry because orange tiny ball wouldn’t get off of his fingers
True than what 😒
I love thiss😍
I would ask how someone couldn't understand what being funny is.

He is asking what is funny and what makes people laugh. he isn't trying to be funny, he is asking if it's gross or if it makes no sense, is it funny? he asking what is not how it is.
funny or not, for me ANY work of voice acting in cartoons, or even live acting in some Nick series by Daran Norris is ALWAYS funny :DD

The Show is bad, but the Song is Great!
Lewis Comic The What is funny song or the Tough Cookies song?
Well actually is appreciated
Is kinda good idea but i get is was rejected
I was wrong it's not trying to be funny but ask what is funny.
Helpful push
What is funny? I don’t know. I’m asking.
What is funny?
What’s funny you may ask, Slap T. Pooch?
Getting r**ed in prison by gingerbread cookies for being cringe is funny!
This one was kind of a stinker ngl. Very tedious and repetitive, even for a kids cartoon.
It is still trauma to me....
SAME
1:12-1:15 that’s not funny that’s just plain disturbing
