Hillybilly Blue

What A Cartoon! show on Cartoon Network
Written By Butch Hartman & Michael Ryan

[@tmwk__]

A great depiction of the American Southern culture. 1. Heavy southern draw accents 2. Trucks 3. Elvis Presley everywhere.

[@SaRENRampaiger]

and the texas cop being bribed for money across the border!!

[@terranceaddison4599]

Don't forget: Faith Family Food Football NASCAR Waffle House

[@galaxywarper92]

This was truly part of a golden age for Cartoon Network.

[@leochingu]

"you're too heavy I'm pullin ya over!" "How about a bribe?" "that's fair" lol

[@MrWolfSnack]

That's Jeff Bennett on the voice of the shrimp. Two years after this, he was the voice of Johnny Bravo.

[@MrCartoonfreak90s]

and Elvis too. Thank you very muccchh

[@RoadrunnerMoose]

I think he's a crayfish (or crawdad depending on where you're from).

[@Ponynstuff320]

Yep. Crawfish

[@okjeffy6581]

Doesn’t feel like it was created by Butch Hartman. Dudes come a long way.

[@JulesHinmon]

Maybe that’s because Butch directed it, but Mike Ryan created it.

[@technologick1183]

I miss when *Cartoon Network* used to do this.

[@Neku628]

Nunya Bizness Now, they barely give any new talent a shot.

[@technologick1183]

Hellbound Iscariot Because the broadcast is swamped with _Teen Titans Go!_ and, as much as I love the show, _The Amazing World of Gumball_.

[@jeffreywilliams8499]

Me too

[@juancarlosmorales548]

Confederate Flag and blowup doll. Man cartoons in the 90's...

[@1Hol1Tiger]

There's nothing wrong with the Confederate Flag, the South are just "Designated Villains" in the eyes of the media

[@marcomongke3116]

Times were based af

[@BenComedy-ie5hy]

Also the Redneck truck driver

[@shikimoravonmerquise2895]

The best unlikenowadays snowflake-made for crap

[@MrBrando07]

Don’t forget the bribe at 4:44

[@craigs3183]

If they showed a cartoon like this now, the censorship would be off the charts!

[@gaoutlaw]

"You boys are too heavy, you'll have to open it up." "How about a bribe?" "That'd be fine."

[@brandtoncartwright6733]

0:19 Butch Hartman the creator of Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, and T.U.F.F. Puppy

[@IsolatedModder]

Also Johnny Bravo. Also, the voice of Elvis in this is Jeff Bennett, who also voiced JB.

[@bradyanderson6311]

Brandton Cartwright Bunsen is a Beast as well.

[@animefan25]

@@IsolatedModder Butch didn't create Johnny Bravo. Van Partible did.

[@IsolatedModder]

@@animefan25 You're right, it's been a very long time since I watched it and hearing that name reminds me of seeing it on all the title cards. Thanks for correcting me ❤️

[@KaitoSuperweapon667]

I remembered this as a kid... I don't think you'll find this on Tv anymore

[@zoidlloyd7736]

Yeah has to be a flat screen if it's gonna fit in that bindle

[@olcsohigany]

1:05 Elvis voiced by Johnny Bravo!!

[@ImmortalfireTheMod]

"How bout a bribe?" "That'd be fine." LOL

[@TheDUDERulez1]

Never heard of this one! Thanks for posting!

[@stagneso]

I just saw KFC Colonel Sander chasing a chicken. 😂😂 I love this show.

[@fortedelux]

Did ya notice the trucker is wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, just like Johnny Bravo.

[@RichardKleiner]

"you're hitched. That'll be twenty dollars (burps)" Love it!

[@AwesomeGirl86]

Cool! The guy who created the Fairly Oddparents, Butch Hartman, made this cartoon. :) I didn't know that until now.

[@MyGuyJustinH]

I didn't know that either

[@gaoutlaw]

Ya'll promise to love her tender, love her sweet, and never let her go? Lmao

[@Angie2343]

Elvis in real life would be cracking up.

[@L33TRedNinja]

Why can't today's cartoons be more like these?

[@CanzetYote]

I find that hillbilly rat/opossum guy to be oddly adorable.

[@BrandonKohout]

Jeff Bennett, Charlie Adler, Rob Paulsen, Jim Cummings, and Butch Hartman.

[@ianlewis6258]

Elvis sound like Johnny Bravo!

[@jimmyalonzo859]

It is....its Jeff Bennett....the voice of Johnny Bravo

[@okjeffy6581]

@@jimmyalonzo859 the Jeff man

[@plabcentral630]

Johnny bravo is based of Elvis

[@arrowpictures2844]

This short would not get away with it in the modern world.

[@themagicalfox6]

This type of cartoon wouldn't fly today

[@LordShadrach]

Rebel Flags? Stereotypes? Blowup Dolls!? Elvis!? Damn this short is fucked up!

[@angelcramirez4949]

That’s what makes it funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@LordShadrach]

@@angelcramirez4949 And that is why I loved it! Too bad this wont be made again..

[@yurilouback6331]

Kids cartoons that weren't all squishy and mushy. Good times

[@LOS_NEGRITOS]

cartoons (and cartoonists) had GUTS back then. even though im not finding this one particularly funny or anything.

[@bgmike8912able]

Need a safe space?

[@carlosfer2201]

Thank god I watched this dubbed as a kid. I could barely understand what they were saying here.

[@CandaceGriffinMusic]

wow when i was a kid growin up in alabama in the 90s, i never realized i was being made fun of lol.

[@TheDarkOne9942]

Jesus, Butch Hartman did this! It looks way better than Fairy Oddparents! What the hell happened? Why did it Happen?

[@JulesHinmon]

Butch wrote for and directed this cartoon. Mike Ryan created it.

[@artmanadvanced]

The only thing that makes these cartoons so great is their greatest downfall, they're already great self-contained stories with no clear form of continuity outside of a few outliers. Also, is it me or is the moment where the health inspector announces his arrival and the chef/maitre'd's reaction so much smoother than the rest of the cartoon? Noticing the phenomenon of "high quality animation moments" in modern cartoons got me doing a double take here.

[@bobross38]

Well, most of the people who made these cartoons were not hoping on making a series, with the ones hoping for ( even if it’s well thought out and has a sense of continuity ) has a 50/50 shot of actually getting green lit based on the timing and budgets of Cartoon Network Studios.

[@ARWINGx1]

2:20 that's supposed to parody KFC, right? since I'm from Sweden, I wouldn't have noticed that (when I was a kid) since Sweden doesn't have KFC

[@lucylocket4740]

Yes it is!

[@okamijubei]

Correct!

[@steviegilliam5685]

Man I'm sorry to hear that

[@quelltech]

@@steviegilliam5685 Eh, they're not missing much- the place went completely to pot after the Colonel sold it.

[@zoidlloyd7736]

Took me a while to get that. hmm by the blue space chicken on Futurama u think it's a cross wire he talks southern n I'm not ready too assume he's foghorn leghorn

[@paleknight1]

Ironcially I vaguely remember this short.

[@KankuroDog]

XD just realized how true that part was when Eustace tells Mordecai about gravity and ketchup Silly cartoon and a bit educational :P

[@laurenhooba]

This is the funniest What-A-Cartoon short.

[@mr.redeyes2583]

it wouldn't fly today...

[@youisiaint]

what always got me when I watched this as a teenager was the blow-up doll. They couldn't even show something like that on Ren and Stimpy, no matter what context. and that the truck driver marries it. I actually thought that was the funniest part.

[@JulesHinmon]

"Oh ho ho! That was closer than tobaccy and spit."

[@williamfrady84]

This is amazing. I forgot how awesome that mix up show was.

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

Lmao the blowup doll look like Peach! XD

[@SegunOlusanya]

Kentucky; Why did the Chicken Cross the Road? The Colonel wanted to 'invite' him for dinner

[@MDthornton83]

That rat dude is kind a cute. A little dopey, but cute.

[@JulesHinmon]

He looks more like a rat, but he’s actually a possum.

[@boru25]

I love that rat Mordikai! He's so adorable and the faces he makes while talking are beautiful!! I hope the animater reads this cause I gave this video 5 stars for Mortikai alone! I even do sketches of him!

[@MDthornton83]

That puts an entirely different meaning to the joke of "why the chicken crossed the road". I'll say.

[@PiscesEarth1987]

Been looking for this episode! You rock!

[@blueravenfire]

glad this cartoon never became popular. looking back on this now, i find this kind of offensive.

[@sirjosh9]

Mordecai: You is the brainiest mudbug I ever known. Eustace: I is the only mudbug you ever known.

[@FramerCid]

the crawdad sounds like Don Knots LOL

[@TechnoHajikelist]

at least they're not at the Georgia Mountains where the Cuyler family dwell... Early Cuyler is bat s**t crazy!

[@Gasoline85]

"It's comin' captain, ya'll want fries with that?" XD

[@ThePYT1991]

3:18 it was at this moment that I knew my childhood was fucked up.

[@gandalfwiz20007]

5:58 Voice's Norman from Adams Family

[@EmprezzzTa3518]

ii love the freakingg theme song!

[@ahmadnajee]

Dat Elvis guy sounded like Johnny Bravo lol

[@Angie2343]

5:30 Reminds me of Sebastian escaping the chef in The Little Mermaid.

[@jake94]

Great memories. I really miss the What a Cartoon Show.

[@danucciguzman]

*sighs* I miss 1996...

[@TheIconoclast]

@gagbonkers it's "if you aint got kin, you ain't got nothin"

[@fishyfrost]

Elvis sounds a way lot like Johnny Bravo.

[@SoundwaveX7]

That's because it was voiced by the same voice actor who did Johnny Bravo.

[@CaptainOvide]

Shouldn't the Inspector issue a warrant before arresting the Garcon and Chef?

[@PiscesEarth1987]

Dude! It's a cartoon

[@Angie2343]

It's a cartoon. The Powerpuff Girls get thrown in jail all the time as a play for humor.

[@sakurashy8492]

I remember this from my childhood.

[@ImperialKnight770]

a blowup doll on a kid show?!?

[@Tabbimura]

Too me this long to figure it out.

[@ImperialKnight770]

Jarosław Sobiński guess that's the reason they only had one episode.

[@themagicalfox6]

Makes you wonder why they had one in the first place..

[@mdizzle99987]

GIVE ME THAT!!!

[@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698]

You can almost smell the Butch Hartmanness in this!

[@jacobj3933]

So that's why the chicken crossed the road

[@williamcooper007]

Yeah, to get away from Colonel Sanders!

[@YariTheImpaler]

Of all the cartoons that came from this show, I wish this one would've got its own series. As well as The Adventures of Captain Buzz Cheaply.

[@needadispenserhere6109]

It should’ve along with worm paranoia and Fat Cats.

[@niloxs]

i always thought the opening was such a kickass guitar riff does anyone know if its from an actual song?

[@pinkyapple333]

1:55 PWND!! lol, I used to love this show

[@cartoonlover2326]

The guy in white looks like the KFC man.

[@Oldiesfan017]

Doesn't the Head Waiter look like Mad Jack the Pirate at 5:04?

[@CanzetYote]

Kinda but not 100%.

[@Oldiesfan017]

Ok.

[@Angie2343]

That's the idea...

[@warjdani]

haha that was so funny I'm going to say that now.

[@gaoutlaw]

Eustace bought a blow up doll...lol.

[@caranauba]

[@Jervis-JehanYvesLaurent]

2:25 THE KFC MAN?!

[@dynamicsketch]

I never could understand the dialogue one bit when I saw this. Turning up the TV didn't help either.
