Cartoon Network Lost Media - A Compilation of Modern Mysteries

We've talked about a lot of CN and Adult Swim lost media over the past couple years, but let's revisit some of the topics that have yet to be found.

[@smittyjjensin558]

I cant wait for this lost media to show up in adult videos.

That crossover image of mewtwo and the kanker sisters is so unimaginably funny. needs to be a meme

[@Karmy.]

I thought it was a meme wtf

[@Karmy.]

Like I thought that someone thought it would be funny to photoshop Mewtwo at the Kankers' door similar to the early 2010s YT fad of (x) drops by Squidward's house

[@Masterge77]

You have the old "Squidward in the Bathtub" meme, which is close enough.

Guess Ne-Yo was so sick of Tuesdays.

[@thexwhats2989]

[@SillyGoofyOllie]

he didn’t heart tuesdays anymore 😢

[@juliusnepos6013]

Lol

[@Masterge77]

My guess as to what happened to I Heart Tuesdays is that Ne-Yo and CN couldn't reach a deal and the show got cancelled before it was produced. It's a shame, the concept sounds really interesting and unique, and reminds me of the kind of cartoons I used to watch as a kid that involved high school students that fought villains and stuff (Danny Phantom, Kim Possible and American Dragon come to mind).

[@TheNewSoda]

10:56 I think cartoon Network deleted anything related to Subway after the whole Jared scandal

[@TheNewSoda]

I could be wrong but I imagine cartoon Network would want to cut off working relations with Subway because of it

[@Burger_pants]

@@TheNewSoda yeah this makes total sense. most companies are REALLY strict and weird about that kind of thing, they want NO association with certain entities, even in the most mild and vague correlation, they will freak out and often start suing people.

[@Burger_pants]

PS. even moreso with anything related to children. except gambling for some reason, and softcore porn, welcome to 2024

[@fogsfunhouse]

thats actually a pretty good theory XD

[@Masterge77]

Cartoon Network pretty much stopped doing Subway toys long before the Jared scandal, or even before Jared started appearing in commercials for that matter.

[@FragglevisionReturns]

I'd love for you to make an entire video about Lostwave. You've discussed Ulterior Motives before, but there is a HUGE swath of partially found, unidentified songs out there, many of which are being discovered by a diligent community. La Cancion de Alicia, Back to Bed, Waste My Time and Uptown People were ALL discovered in full within the past two weeks.

that Cat News sketch sounds vaguely like those Fried Dynamite bumpers from the same era.

[@TVindustries5000]

I was thinking the same thing. I remembered it as Hotdog Dynamite for some reason

[@user-ew7vj3hw9m]

I swear it was a mad skit

[@NCTStudio]

Thank you for acknowledging my commitment in the finding of one of the KND files, albeit indirectly

[@WallabeeBe4tles]

Thank you

[@tigerspruce8580]

The only thing I can think of that could possibly be the cat news show is a show called Cat 22. Im probably 100% wrong here, but Cat 22 was a cartoon network short aired in between cartoons back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It was anout a cat who wore a suit, but he was a spy and went undercover around dogs. So it probably wasnt that show.

[@PWPictures67]

I remember that show. It doesn't have anything to do with news though.

[@tigerspruce8580]

@PWPictures67 yeah, I know. Just brought it up cause it was the only cat themed short I could find, especially one with cats wearing ties. That and I wanted an excuse to talk about it cause I adore that short.

[@embr420]

My God i remember all of this i must have been glued to the toob as a kid 😂

Dexter Laboratory has a COMPLETE SERIES DVD coming out June 25, 2024.

[@KomodoKrap420]

With or without bonus content

[@Daboypurplhart]

Yeah, but it’s hard to say if it will have all of the media or just having all the main episodes

[@KomodoKrap420]

​@@DaboypurplhartI guess we'll have to wait and see:/

[@glitchhunter09]

I mean the Banned episodes will most likely be on there. Except Rude Removal. That may or may not. regardless it's archived anyway.

[@brokenmindsette6302]

I remember seeing your comments on the CN forum back in the day!

[@mind-of-neo]

I will be on the lookout for all of this to add to my ever-growing collection of random obscure media

[@PridetakerDC]

im so happy when this man posts. makes my day better every time

[@Snowy167]

All I can remember from something I watched a long time ago was that either a monster, demon, or something not from this world went to an orphanage or hospital with sick children. It looked at the tags with the illness the children had and saw that one had cancer and then said “your name is cancer” but it said it as “sanser”. It might have also said something along the lines of “what a beautiful name”. It then took the child, went somewhere and the child slowly died while the creature didn’t know what was happening. Does anyone else remember or know what this was from? If I had to guess, it might have been on adult swim

[@thestraydog]

OK so that was an animated show called Superjail! that aired on Adult Swim. The little girl was saved and cared for by a burn victim inmate of the prison named Ash. Actually just watched the episode a few weeks ago, I think it's streaming on Max? Or maybe Hulu. It's one of them somewhere, anyway, it's pretty hysterical

[@MatthewDovidio]

Hi LSSQ Glad to see a new video is out

[@MisterGiygas]

Not sure if this would count as lost media, but back in the early 2000's anime such as Tenchi Muyo and Rurouni Kenshin would air on Toonami during the day, albeit heavily censored to match TV-Y7 standards at the time, meaning no swearing, minimal blood, etc. One afternoon I was watching an episode of Rurouni Kenshin, the one where Kenshin and another group are fighting against an army/villain that had gatling guns and they were completely outmatched. Some of the characters were outright dying, which was one thing (characters would also die in Dragon Ball Z), but then suddenly a few of them were saying legitimate swear words such as "damn" or "bastard", and I remember being very surprised by this. It was essentially an uncensored episode! It might not seem as big a deal today, but a cartoon with actual swearing and a TV-Y7 rating airing during daytime Cartoon Network was really unusual back then. In addition, I also recall Rurouni being pulled around a week after that episode had aired, and I always assumed it was due to them accidentally airing an uncensored episode. I could be wrong, but after several decades that one memory has always stuck out to me more than most others from Toonami at the time. I wonder if anyone else remembers this?

[@Unkindpigeon.]

"let's put live action on a CARTOON network called Cartoon Network." "Why isn't it working?"

[@Masterge77]

CN Real was the result of the Writer's Strike of 2008, when every TV executive had a collective BSOD and decided that people should only watch reality shows because they were cheaper to produce. Stuart Snyder was one of those executives, and David Zaslav is from that same crop of executives.

[@funkyfeem727]

I recognise the guy at 34:22 thats Keith Duffy from the Irish boyband Boyzone. He seems to have a jacket with aka cartoon network on it. From what I've seen he was a guest. I wonder if he remembers much about the show it could be worth contacting him maybe?

[@mathieuleader8601]

I think Ne-Yo's Tuesdays cartoon could have been reworked into a good Y.A book series

[@user-ug7lt6gu3x]

Cartoon Network lost media compilation! Finally!

[@natethefighter]

Regarding "Lady, Play Your Mandolin", that earlier footage could very likely be pulled from a cartoon that reused that animation. I believe there was at least one Merrie Melodies cartoon that used it, I think "Goopy Geer"?

[@xoxgodmodxox2813]

5:09 are those lost piolts? If so I have some. Like Cheyenne Cinnamon

[@kinnelyuwu5771]

Smfa and problem solvers were so good, and you're so real for admitting to liking them

[@biggiemyke]

What's killing me is the space ghost coast to coast episode with the censored version of the room by Tommy wiseau I still can't find it

[@deadeye_john]

19:53 Hey Destroy Build Destroy and Hole in the Wall were awesome. They were rememberable.

[@quinnhouk5369]

I loved those shows when I was younger

[@cauwama]

I loved the live action era because I was too young to know it was CN's low point.

[@Tbro2303]

Hole in the wall gets overlooked way too much cause of the time it came out

[@NicoTheCinderace]

DBD was the best of the Live Action era, tbh.

[@deadeye_john]

@@NicoTheCinderace Yeah it was very over the top

[@zuluecho5886]

Is there a playlist anywhere of all the music used in the background of these videos? It’s really groovy

[@Karmy.]

I'm in that same boat about AKA Cult Toons, found the Vimeo page through RebelTaxi and watched a few but never saved any 😔

[@TheGropaga]

Guys, does any one know if there are cartoon network mashups with popular artists at the time? I believe there was a mashup of Offspring - Pretty fly for a white guy with Ed,Edd and Eddy and a bunch of other cartoons + artists/ songs? I think there was also some RHCP song redone? The general idea was that the tune was as in original song, but the lyrics were rewritten and some cartoon pieces were used as a “movie clip” for the song. It was quite hilarious

[@ShadeATV]

Groovies?

[@vocalist92]

Oh that Pretty Fly EEnE promo has remained ingrained in my head since I was a child. I always associate the song with the show because of it

[@tiaraelijahgreen395]

Great Video!

[@mailordery]

Hello! I usually don't make comments like this, but I thought this was a good place to ask. I've been trying to find if this animation short (?) exists, but I have no idea if it's been covered already or if I'm thinking of something else. Here's what I remember: -This was around 2006-2007 as I was about very young and was actively watching CN this time in the fall of November. This was in the Midwest as I was watching CN on my grandma's comcast TV. I dunno if its a broadcast interruption, but I definitely remember it being super weird. It was some kind of special animation film that played and the film consisted of a near abandoned small town in a canyon or desert looking area. But once it became night all the townsfolk were cursed into becoming evil monsters..? I definitely remember a mayor character who was cursed to be this mole like creature. I'm not sure on more specifics here, but I just want to figure out if this is real, some weird broadcast interruption, or a dream that little me dreamt once and I couldn't tell.

[@essenceofherbal4125]

Was there any mushroom cloud shaped monsters?

[@Charalspirals2]

late night black & white! Yooooo, those were peak childhood years....I got my first tv in my room about 98 and I would stay up and usually fall asleep to it... good times.

[@lukeigi7261]

Unrelated question but what songs do you use. They sound so good but I can’t find them

[@mart5610]

51:40 Didn't the Jared Fogle Subway thing happen in 2015? Rick and Morty the TV show came out in 2013 way before the Jared thing

[@Lovemythorns]

Here once again asking you to make a video about Eurovision Song Contest 1964 lost footage I’m not giving up any time soon

[@Karmy.]

5:40 12 Oz Mouse is one of the best things ever when you're high lol Shame the pilot is gone forever

[@jester2012]

16:55 MikeCatSU might be mis-remembering the comic strip 'Breaking Cat News' as a cartoon..?

[@TVindustries5000]

I dont remember many commercials for all kids meal toys. most times u just got to the restaraunt and u would just see what was there. McDonalds and Burger King would have them sometimes but i dont even remember seeing Subway commercials for kids toys at all really (as in, if there WERE commercials they may not have aired on major networks even if related to the network in question)

[@1964catt]

there is one possible lost media around the late 90's and early 2000's consisting of music channels on TV back when crt tv's where king, i remember there where a few tv stations that where just black screens with colored symbols scattered around that would pop in and out of existence around the screen, the symbols would be a speaker or a rain drop stuff like that and the screen would only have one symbol per channel or song that was playing and i think it might genuinely be lost media at this point as there is no sign that those channels existed at all, oh and this was around the bottom left corner of ohio if it was a region only channel

[@spacewar]

Was the entire Spaced Out series found?

[@sketchyspot]

Ahhh, Cartoon Orbit!! Now that's some classic, early internet fun!

[@shin-ateYen]

No one ever mentions tower prep or unnatural history the only two good series that were made for CN real Both series ended due to CN real ending as well. They were supposed to have a second season. And never had a DVD or general release I know unnatural history might still be on daily motion but tower prep is harder to find I randomly manage to find both back in 2022 complete. If anyone is interested i might just make a internet archive account just to put both of those hidden gems on there.

I'm I the only one remember that one show on CN about plastic brick character in the City doing something wracking stuff and also the cool thing is there is toy of it for scanning for the app to play it on the device. The character detail: they built like 2 piece of 2 by 2 brick, one for the body, one for the head with molding detail. I think they have 2 by 2 flat tile of hair and foot and I'm also pretty sure the show have arm but in toy form it just molding detail on the body. and there diverse of different character in the show the one I remember strongly is the pirate.

The way you feel about Cartoon Network is very similar to how I feel about it. I didn't even know they HAD an official forum, though I can understand why so many people on it were frustrated with the current status of the network. I stopped watching CN regularly around 2016 outside of Adult Swim, the only part of the network that seemingly had everything together while CN kept listening to out-of-touch executives who listened to equally out-of-touch investors and shareholders.
