The Forgotten Shows Of Nickelodeon

[@diurtydantv8061]

You are correct in your assessment that children are assholes. In 2nd grade I got in trouble and was sent to stand in the corner by the door until I was ready to rejoin the rest of the class. Like 5 minutes later some kid I hated was running out of the door so I tripped him and told the teacher I was on my way to rejoin the class and he just so happened to run by as I stuck my leg out. I got away with it.

[@keithragin89]

[@pompousFurball]

when i was in 4th grade i got away with making a definitely racist remark by schmoozing a teacher (pretty much going along with anything she said to convince herself that what i said WASNT racist)

[@OPGardevoir]

Yes

[@microfighterz]

In grade 3 a kid kicked me in the balls and I got in trouble for apparently lying about it when I literally threw up from the pain.

[@gulfcoastgaming6034]

Fun fact about El Tigre: the last episode was originally gonna have Manny becoming a villain, but most likely because of studio interference they left it up to a poll and the majority vote was for Manny to be a hero. You can actually find the cut ending with villain Manny

[@ASloppyJoe]

Honestly don't understand why that was the plan, throughout the entire show Manny only does heroic things (not counting the trouble he causes which is less "I might be a supervillain someday" and more just being a dumb kid with an influential grandfather), only fights villains, always learns The Lesson Of The Episode, you get the gist.

[@jamangel]

Cool

[@ferretappreciator]

​@@ASloppyJoeperhaps it was supposed to be a comment on how the past catches up with us or how our family dictates our lives, idk, never actually seen the show

What's weird is, I've ALWAYS remembered Cat scratch existing, even McDonald's made some promotional toys that I owned but I never remembered the show or it's premise, just that it was goofy AF and actually funny at times.

[@Xx_lost_or_unheard_trackz_xX]

It was Burger King. I've never seen Catscratch until 2021 and ended up loving it. We need a reboot!

[@deathgangkid]

Omg I want Catscratch kids meal toys 😂

[@KlutzyNinjaKitty]

I don't remember watching the show or any episodes. But I remember the toys + the one flash game on Nick's website + the fact that the gray one had the same voice as Pleakly from Lilo and Stich and Tallest Purple from Invader Zim. That's it. That's all I got.

[@2-Way_Intersection]

deadass, never saw catscratch as a kid, but *somehow* (maybe via a happy meal i ate before i gained consciousness) i had a mr blick toy that you could stretch to make his eyes light up. idk if that was a thing he could do in the show, but having a black cat now, it *is* pretty realistic to them in general, so eh

[@DefyReality-ll2cg]

- Making Fiends had SOOOO much potential to be a heavy hitter! No other Nicktoon was screwed over as hard as Making Fiends by Nickelodeon, and the worst part is Amy Winfrey can't even continue the web series as Nickelodeon owns the copyright and are content to let it rot in their vault. - Catscratch was a hilarious show and I miss it, It also deserved better. - Mr. Meaty was defiantly weird AF but I enjoyed it. The puppets themselves weren't creepy and the show was pretty entertaining at times. - El Tigre was a fun show too, I like that Manny wasn't a happy go lucky moral compass, (we have too many of those in animation as it is) I like that him and Freyda were accurate representations of how actual kids act as it made them feel more realistic. - Season 4 of SpongeBob is just as god as seasons 1-3, Season 6 was the beginning of the end tho. - The Penguins of Madagascar was fine I guess, I mostly had it on as background noise.

[@DonVhanDude]

My mom had a small Catscratch plush toy (apparently from McDonald's in 2007), but we always called it "Spooky Cat" because we didn't know where it was from and she would use it as a Halloween decoration. I don't even know if she watched the show, she might've just liked the character. Great video btw! Edit: I commented before I saw the McDonald's bit lol she had one of the Mr. Blik plushes that you didn't show in the video, it was the one with the "side eye" face

[@linguinec9984]

I'm actually broken hearted about how Amy Winfrey got treated... I don't remember it being so short, Making Fiends really was gem and I feel like it left a huge imprint on me personally. I regularly think about references from the show lmao. Edit: all of these shows had a huge impact on me lol. I spent at least one elementary school year role-playing penguins of madagascar with my school friends on the playground (I was always Rico).

[@nicholasroberts7838]

The creator of making fiends was the director on a lot of the best episodes of Bojack and it makes me soooo happy she went on to do awesome things, I absolutely ADORE making fiends, she deserves every little bit of success that comes her way!

[@Jay-is6jt]

I'm so happy you were so kind/open to mr meaty in this video because I literally LOVED this show as a kid, like it was my FAVOURITE thing ever, i would actively seek it out and get so excited and happy whenever it was on. I also watched and loved all the original making fiends flash shorts and would watch them over and over. I think these were a big part of where I got my love for both puppetry and like, creepy / freakfest content that grew into a big love of horror. I do vivdly remember some mr meaty episodes like scarring me for life, but even then I couldn't stop watching, it brought me a lot of joy as a kid. You're absolutely right that that show had so much love put into it and it's really well built from a physical perspective

Quite the opposite. I imagine most blocked it out, as people tend to do with traumatic experiences.

[@KlutzyNinjaKitty]

Mr Meaty is where my fear of intestinal parasites originated. That, and the one time we needed to treat two of our cats (who were kittens at the time) for worms and one of the kittens threw a massive ass worm up right in front of me. It was still wiggling and everything. Eugh.

Oh man, its nice to find someone who also recognises voice actors and is full of "useless" info like myself. Helps me feel a little less odd about how much time I've spent watching TV and cartoons as a kid/teen.

[@RustyNips]

Ya I often recognise voices and go mad cause i can't place who they are (never know actor names) and often have trouble figuring it out cause its a side background character that won't show up in searches or arnt credited Same for tv actors I'll know the voice but never seen the face before

It makes me feel old that the era you're talking about still feels like "modern" Nickelodeon to me. I was a teenager at the time, so it felt like a big transition period from shows I watched and loved in the late 90's and early 00's to whatever was next.

[@blubberblubblum]

I can remember so many odd things from cat scratch . Waffle always yelling SPLEEEEN, “the claw” episode, how obsessed they were with rootbeer and convinced that girl to buy it for them

[@punkuke]

I'd remembered Cat Scratch for years without knowing the name because I got in huge trouble one time for watching the intro and the first like 30 seconds as a kid. I guess it was because of the violence? But I was REALLY not allowed to watch it. Always just remembered it as "that one show with the 3 cats that my mom yelled at me over." Your description of the heroes in El Tigre sounds exactly like how heroes are in One Punch Man, I love that.

[@eimxiuerniuewancw3376]

in my country, Penguins of Madagascar is one of the most memorable and known childhood memories and cartoons to anyone really - i remember quoting entire episodes with my friends on recess, and i still to this day remember the musical episode by heart. There was an app me and my brother made my parent download, where there would be all main characters and you could play their iconic quotes and put as ringtones, which every character had at least 200 or more there. everyone i know watched it, i remember always rushing home to be there when it aired. one of my closest friends keeps telling me his favorite memory of childhood is us quoting penguins at school. sometimes when my mind is on autopilot i sing the musical episode. so when i saw the thumbnail and the beloved penguins called forgotten, i felt attacked personally

Oh yes...Catscratch and I am with you on the episode in which Gordon mutates after getting an allergic reaction, your video on childhood trauma definitely resonated me with me on the topic of transformation.

[@eaglest0554]

El tigre sounds like such a cool show? Like, a kid's superhero show where his family cycles between heroes and villains each generation, and he should be destined to be a villain, and that's actually allowed to be a real possibility? And on top of that making him share a namesake with the family's first super who was also super torn between heroism and villainy? That's such brilliant writing.

[@Zvwry]

This video really brings me back. I remember sitting on my bed watching nicktoons after school on a Friday up until like 3am. El tigre, my life as a teenage robot, avatar the last airbender, old SpongeBob, making feinds gosh I remember all of it. Nicktoons and boomerang where my favorite channels. I wish I could go back.

[@sonic5577]

So the creator of El Tigre actually wrote several posts (I believe on tumblr) where he explained what he felt the future of El Tigre would be and went into Manny as an adult.

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

Here are my thoughts: - Catscratch is the most hilarious Nicktoon I’ve ever seen. It could’ve been the next SpongeBob or Looney Tunes, but stupid Nickelodeon pulled the plug. - From what I’ve heard, Making Fiends was originally a series of webtoons and when they canned the show, the creator wasn’t allowed to make more of them. - El Tigre was a solid series and after rewatching it, it makes me feel bad about complaining about it years ago. - Mr. Meaty is without a doubt, the best puppet show since Between the Lions and it really helped shape my style of humor and storytelling. Too bad the series lost its identity in the second season and changed it into a generic teen sitcom that was full of stupid life lessons and rewrote most of their characters. - The Penguins of Madagascar is living proof that the penguins can really stand well on their own, but the real star of the show is the man, the myth, the legend…KING JULIEN! You can never go wrong with King Julien.

It is totally biologically possible for the Catscratch brothers to have different fathers. In fact, I'd say its likely.

[@NunofYerbizness]

Honestly I feel like if Nickelodeon were to _ever_ remember Making Fiends, they could probably go the Samurai Jack route and have the next season be for Nick @ Nite, just so they can be able to delve into the darker themes and tones that the web series episodes kinda went for (like referring to the giant kitty as "yon hellcat" instead of "yon fiendcat"), maybe even an episode where Charlotte comes to the conclusion that her parents are legit dead, I dunno… There actually are fully-written scripts for a 7-episode 2nd season, though it truthfully doesn't seem likely they'll ever see the light of day. Same for the planned merchandise items, too (besides the DVDs and T-shirts); There was a Charlotte voodoo plush, except her head was replaced with a slot where you could instead place a picture of someone, and one of those Russian doll toys where there's a bunch of smaller ones inside a big one (this one had Grudge first, then Vendetta, a generic fiend, and Buttons 2). I was also a Tibbitt-era kid for SpongeBob stuff. I think watching that was the first time that I realized newer episodes were being made of stuff, and that these didn't all just exist right outta the gate; I think it was "Toy Store of Doom" that I had the epiphany… I had a few compilation DVDs of SpongeBob, and only Absorbing Favorites was the one that had anything from the first 3 seasons. The rest were "Atlantis SquarePantis", "Spongicus", and "To SquarePants or Not To SquarePants", though I don't remember that one having that cover. I also have a few mandela memories of a few of those episodes; Pest of the West, I remember Patrick's song where he warns about Dead-Eye Plankton, ending with a slightly faster tempo, and the guys that sing the last line popping up from either below or to the right of the screen, accompanied with the sound of people quickly getting off of their stools, or something. And then during the second verse of the song "Idiot Friends", I seem to remember a faint slide whistle noise for whenever Patrick would rise from below the screen. And then Picture Day, I remember that episode ending with a quick zoom-in on SpongeBob's photograph. Also I got this song as an ad, during the part where you were talking about Mr. Meaty's musical episode? It appears to use the same lava lamp background at one point, so I think that has something to do with it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnWYoYyKfMpssNk

I remember loving Catscratch. I dont remember anything at all about it. I do however remember playing a couple flash games based on it on the Nick site and loved them. One was a Worms rip off, and another was some kind of turn based combat game. Edit: The Worms one is called "Catscratch: This Means War!". Cant find anything about the other game, might be misremembering another game as Catscratch themed.

[@theluigifan1]

Post-first movie SpongeBob can get really REALLY good sometimes, namely Season 4, which sometimes feels like a bit of a holdover from the first 3 seasons. Some of my favorite episodes are Krusty Towers, Fear of a Krabby Patty, Shell of a Man, Whale of a Birthday, The Lost Mattress, Skill Crane, Krabs Vs. Plankton, Selling Out, Ghost Host, Mrs. Puff You’re Fired, Have You Seen This Snail?, and Good Neighbors. (Yes, I even like this one too because it’s one of the only Squidward torture episodes that I feel doesn’t go *too* far and Squidward’s rage in the episode is genuinely funny thanks to the delivery and expressions he pulls off and the fact that his rage is actually pretty justified)

[@antoniocounts1]

Cat scratch was the show. The nostalgia of these shows hit different.

I will say, Slumber Party has a great bit with Girly Teen Girl. I was so happy that a scene my sisters and I have been quoting for years went viral on tiktok. I also enjoy the storm sleepover episode, at least the hot tea hot cocoa bit. Also Making Fiends was one of my favorite shows as a kid and to learn it was so short a while ago looking it up I was shocked. Thanks for highlighting it, El Tigre, and Cat Scratch.

[@Theflautist20]

Hell YESSSSSSS I *LOVED* El Tigre! I totally agree that it was fun seeing Manny be a main character that got into trouble-- not so much so because he was a bad person but because kids can be little bastards. I loved that as a kid and it made him and Frida more relatable for sure.

[@Hoopryfien]

I've just reached the end of the El Tigre segment and gotta say i'm loving this video. I remembered watching quite a bit of Catscratch as a kid but that show basically vanished from my conscious memory until a few years ago when I was doing some house cleaning and came across an old McDonalds Waffle toy. I also have what I think is an El Tigre McDonald's toy that I have on a shelf in my room, these shows deserve to be more talked about (especially El Tigre imo cause Jorge is a fantastic creator). I'll be surprised if Mighty B isn't mentioned in this video. Edit: Mighty B mentioned, good 2:10:00 And there's the aforementioned Waffle toy 2:18:30 And the aforementioned El Tigre toy

[@Naokarma]

So to sum up: El Tigre and Spongebob Seasons 4/5 is exactly as good as I remember, Making Fiends wasn't a figment of my imagination and was too good for this world, The Penguins of Madagascar was just a little bit worse than I remember, and Catscratch/Mr. Meaty apparently exist, but only arguably. Sounds about right. And yes, I'm just as mad about the Making Fiends thing; it's actually terrible to hear what happened there.

From another Nickelodeon/ Cartoon Network kid raised by tv, I absolutely love this video. and I agree that people give season 4 of SpongeBob too much shit in fact I’m gonna go rewatch it now!

[@tortellinoss]

Dude. Making fiends was the cats pajamas. I was so upset when it just like, disappeared. I completely remember watching all of the episodes on TV also

[@ImaniAlchemy]

I remember absolutely loving Making Fiends but it always creeped me out as a child and I never knew why because the art isn’t creepy or anything. This video made it make sense for me lol

[@jasonharrison5877]

look man, im sure so many people have said this, but your popularity you are getting so deserved, and idk maybe its anecdotal but i think you've really got yourself a solid, loyal fan base. you are like, a voice for the voiceless right now. like, the post irony of youtube reviewers, like me, like a lot of the older gen Zers, (21/22), you really get what we have all been tryna communicate to "normal" people for so long bro, like seriously.

That's too bad about Cat Scratch. I remember liking it. Making Fiends ruled! I remember when it was a Flash web series and was so happy to see Nick picked it up. It always makes me smile to see Amy Winfrey in credits. Edit: (after watching the actual segment) Oh. Man, Viacom sucks. Edit: "Did he just say 'I am so L337' like it's 2006?" Oh, sweetie. Try 1986.

i thought i read the video was 20 minutes, my brain goes “huh this is a pretty large section for a 20 minute video” i look at the time and its 2 hours, ive been blessed by the gods

[@tobiasheadrick8092]

Nobody ever talks about Cat Scratch to the point I thought it didn’t actually exist it was one of my favorites when I was a really young kid 🥺🥺🥺

[@truedarkness4052]

Same. I remember the episode where Gordon turned into a monster and it legitimately scared me lol

[@eroobs]

I love that I'm a year older than you but u stay humbling me with the lost arts and knowledge I forget ab- I love how diverse your taste is in games and shows bc same and it's so hard to find people who enjoy all of the things I feel like I've finally found my community so thank you! Same ab the mcds toys- I'm still heartbroken ab losing my hello kitty mcds stuffed animal key chain situation from like 2006? She had jeans and a T shirt

[@blank0099]

As a kid I loved Gordon’s allergic reaction to broccoli that I drew it and my dad had my child drawing tattooed on his leg

[@olemonqueeno8684]

I COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT THE NAME OF MAKING FIENDS. I just remembered "blue happy girl" and for some reason thought they were ghosts. So glad I watched this :')

[@lovexnxpeacexox]

The QuintonReviews cameo was *chefs kiss*

[@MaxineLunaZorua]

Subscribed after I heard you don’t hate Poof from FOP. Ya got valid opinions good sir and I respect that.

[@hblackburn5580]

OMG Quinton!!! Super awesome he popped in! But I'm surprised you didn't mention "The Mighty B!".

[@spang4775]

oh my god, i completely forgot about catscratch, the intro music was the most insane flashback ive ever experienced

[@yesipan]

I relate so much to watching reruns of old shows as if they were new. My favorite shows on Nickelodeon were reruns of older shows that I would always stay up late to watch and treat like they were premiering for the first time.

[@FieryRedmond]

A mid 2000s Nick show that literally no one but me seems to remember existed was Skyland

[@HMZeroTwo]

Shoot, I remember a good chunk of these. _Especially_ El Tigre and Making Fiends.

[@mvpmvp3861]

I just talked with my sister and we both couldn’t believe that Making Fiends was only around for 1 month. We’d sing the opening song all the time. That show was a staple to us 😭

[@themudkip5295]

that quinton reviews cameo was actually so good. fun fact, when i first started watching you from the izzy video, i thought about how you two reminded me of each other.

[@DESERT80Y]

1:24:06 I think it was during the war that was mentioned in the crusty crab employee training video where it says that Mr. crabs went into a depression after he was in a war

[@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario]

Weird how you mentioned post movie spongebob but not Kappa Mikey or The Secret Show

[@BugsyFoga]

Honestly the way I remember a cartoon or film that have been forgotten for years is if it got a fast food kids meal toy, was an avid collector of those when I was younger.

[@trinitythompsontt]

Finally a niche topic I’m interested in and in fact was apart of as a “weird girl” and it’s hours long 💗 amazing content keep up the good work 💗

[@BinglesP]

SAME

[@onelovelylilidiot4959]

I can't believe you would say 38:19 after making repeated references to shipping Noah and Owen in that TDI video lmao. Was that one of those lost battles?

[@nicklemay8056]

Would love to see a part 2 to this eventually! Wanna see u talk about chalk zone

[@Jake-tx1fb]

Putting both an entire catscratch analysis and the spongebob hemppance theme song has thrown me on an entire loop. The d&d episode of spongebob is goated, just behind karate and the extended atlantis jawn. God bless this video tbh

[@ShinobiSora]

Making Fiends was so good. It reminds me a bit of Secret Saturdays as far as shows that go cancelled and then kinda disappeared. It is nice to see Pearl episodes, that's probably why I like the episode Whale Watching so much. Pearl and Squidward interacting and bonding is so fun. It's nice to see characters outside of Spongebob and how they intereact sometimes. It's nice to have variety. Like having good, moral characters and trouble-making ones. Both are okay. Mr. Meaty freaked me out though. I like puppets, but this was too much. It's too puppety for me. I can appreatiate the effort, but there's just something I can't get behind.

[@nixipixi8945]

"In 2005.... when I was 4!" Aaaand.. this is the episode where I realize I'm 10 years older than he is.. 😢
