I AM WEASEL: A Mini-Retrospective

[@DigimontamerB]

From what I read, the reason for the changeover was because when the shorts originally debuted, the audience didn't like Weasel. They found him obnoxious and sympathized more with I.R. Baboon. And it wasn't in a way where it "worked" like the Roadrunner cartoons. So they reworked it so that Weasel and Baboon were now allies so that Weasel could be nicer, and Baboon could get some wins.

Man this was a very well done video man, i hope you do more of these 10 to 15 minute retrospectives 👍

Great video! I give it a thumbs up! I used to watch Cow and Chicken more then I wanted to and I glance at I am Wessel every once and a while when it was airing. I forever have the "you don't need pants to do the victory dance" in my head thanks to that show!

Before there was peepers and Sylvia in the there was Weasel and ir

I GENUINELY enjoyed everything about this video. I'd love to see you'd do more videos like this! 🔥💯

[@aradahS]

I always hated Baboon’s voice as a kid. Every time this came on I used it as a break time 😭😭 And another whole banger from Heema, as usual

[@misterHEEMA]

It's so funny, because the VA for Baboon (Charlie Adler) was the same one for Cow, Chicken, AND The Red Guy 😂 bro was covering all bases

Man, growing up in the late 90's to watch Cartoon Network on DIsh Network. Damn it was awesome.

As much as I like Cow and Chicken, I can see why it's own spinoff outlasted it. Feel like I.M. Weasel had more mature writing to balance out the juvenile humor (mostly thanks to Weasel), and it got pretty creative with the characters being in any situation they could, doing a solid job playing off each other. And of course you have the Red Guy managing to make them both look normal.

I.M. Weasel has anybody noticed that he's with girls of different color and always treats them like they were loose lady's As much as I love this show...I realized cuz I think of Buffalo Galz munching on carpet... WOW 😳

Great video! This was always one of my favorite CN shows as a kid. There was a bunch of behind the scenes information you could have gone into, like how the show is loosely based on "Pop Goes the Weasel" or how the show's structure of how Weasel and Baboon have different jobs and set pieces being inspired by Huckleberry Hound, making it stand out more compared to Cow and Chicken's Ren and Stimpy-esque humor. Also surprised you didn't mention how Maxwell Atoms was a writer/storyboard artist on the show and his episodes were the more insane and over the top ones (Magnificent Motorbikini, Dessert Island, A Troo Storee, The Baboon's Paw being some noteworthy examples), which influenced his style of writing for Billy and Mandy, though you can probably say that in your B&M video.
