It was still a bad idea for him to go after Velma. At that point Velma was considered Freddy's girl just as much as Daphne...although Daphne was also implied to have been Shaggy's gal too since she's the only one of the serious trio who actually likes Scrappy.

[@JayGatz4]

Interesting! Sounds like he's never had a canon girlfriend then, since canon is only what happens in the text/on the screen. Which means his statement about him being 'successful' is about as valid as any fanfiction somebody writes where he never gets a woman.

[@UltimatePerfection]

Agreed, that amazon women episode implies as much, considering the volcano that expects a VIRGIN sacrifice doesn't want him.

I think they don't want to acknowledge Johnny because of all the adult jokes. Probably thinking a Dan Schneider situation may happen but the jokes aren't creepy. The jokes are funny.

[@esperfire3779]

But they're fine with acknowledging Cow & Chicken? Not saying your reasoning is wrong, but that really feels like a double standard if true. I think it has less to do with the adult jokes, and more to do with Johnny's endless pursuit of women being viewed as objectification. Funny thing being, the whole point of the show is that he is consistently punished for that behavior, and the women themselves are usually the ones doing the punishing. If anything, the show was a bit ahead of its time in that regard, as the women in it are empowered and can take care of horndogs like Johnny by themselves easily.

[@CasualREDACTED]

@@esperfire3779 if you are referring to "the carpet munchers" or whatever the lesbo biker gang was then they have tried their damnedest to erase that. But I also don't remember a lot of jokes from Cow&Chicken so you probably know more than me about that.

[@ink1931]

I always find it funny that this is considered by some to have not aged well because the entire joke of JB to me is the dichotomy between a naive moronic guy whose headspace is still trapped in the 50s-70s living in the modern world where his idea of romance/general etiquette is already considered outdated itself. I think the series really deserves credit for making a character with so few redeemable qualities yet still so lovable and entertaining for so many people, I think that's why you don't see him getting outwardly lambasted the same way a character like Pepe Le Pew has (though even in that case, it comes across as simply people not being privy to a very basic joke). Also wanted to note, Johnny Bravo actually appears as a silent cameo in Teen Titans Go's WB 100th Anniversary Special, which is pretty cool to see him acknowledged but also really annoying that he didn't get any lines especially because Jeff Bennett himself has a voice role in the episode!

[@DefaultFlame]

Johnny can be very sweet and caring when he isn't trying so hard, and he tries so very, very hard, all the time.

[@pablocasas5906]

I also thought that as well, for some reason the first season of Johnny Bravo feels very 70s in my opinion. I know that the show, alongside Dexter's Lab, Cow & Chicken/I am Weasel and The Powerpuff Girls where the last series to be produced under Hanna-Barbera Studios, but unlike the rest of those JB felt more like a sort of classic JB style cartoon made in the late 90s The second season felt more like a modern cartoon from the era, which I actually founded more funny as a child. Not that the first or final seasons were bad, it's that I found the weird humor from the second season funnier

[@pablocasas5906]

Something that I loved about the Johnny Bravo cartoon, is that its Latin American Spanish dub, especially in the second and third seasons, added tons of regional (mainly from Mexico) jokes that weren't on the original, that was something that other shows from CN from that era used to do a lot, particularly in other shows like KND and Ed, Edd 'n Eddy. I remember a joke from an episode where Johnny accidentally hijacked a train where he demanded to watch CN shows for free on TV, don't know if that joke was in the English version as well, but in LA Spanish it was funnier because Johnny and I am Weasel share the same VA, Víctor Hugo Aguilar

The fact that the network won't acknowledge that it existed is dumb af. Johnny's implied views and opinions are outdated and misogynistic, but the show itself goes out of it's way to reprimand and punish him for it! Just goes to show that media literacy is truly dead.

[@mightyfilm]

If that's the reason, I call bullshit. They use Pepe Le Pew in Boomerang's LT promotions and folded his cartoons back into their for kids Looney Tunes block. The difference between Pepe and Johnny is that Johnny gets comeuppance when he tries to hit on women. Why that is considered the no-no only comes off hypocritical. Maybe if we whine endlessly about it. You know like the 50-somethings that watched LT when they were kids and NEVER again. The ones who heard about his scene getting cut from Space Jam 2 through the media's insufferable game of telephone that lost all the details.

[@richardhart9204]

The entire point/joke of Johnny Bravo, is that he's oblivious to his own sexism and immaturity.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

True, but I think that the issue is moreso that his persona is very imitable, so the concern is that a young audience will copy the behaviour without really knowing the context. I'm not saying that it's a credible thing to be worried about, as I can't imagine a bunch of small boys thinking that behaving like that would have better results than on the show, but TV networks underestimating the intelligence of children is nothing new. The show would probably do alright if they did something along the lines of the new X Men cartoon and just made the exact same show for an adult audience (provided that they don't go out of their way to add edgy content on the grounds that it's a show for adults now. Johnny Bravo doesn't need to have a shift in tone or an increase in the raunchiness of the humour to work. It's already fine as is and there's enough room for the show to explore some more mature ideas without it becoming a mean spirited show that adds swearing, substance abuse and overly sexualised female characters.)

[@verdatum]

I recall an interview with Chuck Jones, I believe on NPR, where he recounted that early in his career, he was explicitly forbidden from doing smear animation, as it was seen as a trick of low budget animation studios, used to save money. So Chuck rebelliously started to experiment with it, and found that it added to the language of animation. It allowed cartoon characters to have a level of mobility that was not simply mimicking real life motion, but instead, was surpassing it. A major result of this was the timelessly iconic frantic chase animation that instantly became one of the trademarks of the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons. Come to think of it, WB really oughta make a decent Wile E. Coyote theatrical film. Oh...wait...oh no...

Cartoon Network has really dropped the ball on this one! Always happy to see more people stand up for Johnny Bravo! One of my favorite 2000s cartoons ever! We need this back! Well done! The Christmas special will always be my favorite story! This show definitely deserves a comeback! Also I head cannon Johnny and Velma but I respect your head cannon as well!

I enjoyed this goofball of a man. He shows the best of humanity and comedy. It sucks to find out what happened to him during Johnny Bravo but I'm glad he got back to doing what he was passionate about. He clearly knew what he wanted for his show. (I guess that’s why season 1 only got the hall of fame.) My favorites were the holiday specials and at one point it was one of theirs too. From showing the love for one another to how much of a kid he truly is. But I distinctly remember when we had cable an seen JB AN THE EDDS Valentine’s Day special and bumper I fell in love with that episode. To this day I remember watching it only once on CN and just looking back last year it’s still one of my favorites. I’m truly glad JB got his own movie and in the hour timeframe (Classic) and I hope to see it in the near future. Just wish they aired it in America. Plus it was interesting to see behind the vail. Both the staff and samurai Jack. lol classic bumper. Hopefully one day we will get our ultimate series box set on dvd/bluray.

Rumor has it that there was gonna be a live action Johnny Bravo movie starring Dwayne Johnson about him trying to find out who his father was but was scrapped because of the failure of the Powerpuff Puff Girls Movie. I think I would've went with that idea but I'd much rather have it be animated though

[@slim_streams]

Damn D'Angelo stepped his editing game up on this one. Loved the interwoven clips

[@charlesbennett7484]

I remember this one girl back in school that used to draw a lot of Johnny Bravo fan art, some of it was ... a bit NSFW ... point is, she LOVED this show.

[@Zooropa1310]

My head cannon for Van Partible's name goes like this... His parents, freshly arrived in America, needed to write their sons name on some immigration forms, but it had to be written in English. So in sitcom cartoon fashion, they looked around and saw a beater vehicle with a For Sale sign that said "Van - Partable." And the rest was history.

Mae Whitman is one of my favorite actors/VAs still in the business.

[@HatsOffMedias]

She's a superstar

[@Superlad9494]

​@@HatsOffMedias she's also able to be 2 Batgirls and 1 Wonder Girl at the same time as she's voiced both the original Bette Kane and Babs Gordon (the second and the one most are familiar with) on Young Justice as well as Cassie Sandsmark, Donna's successor in the bracelets...just be warned if anybody voices an Amazon...each one's lasso has a different effect and Cassie's will make show how much your own anger can literally shock you.

@29:12 i just realized Johnny is quoting the KISS song 'Come on and Love Me'

[@deoge3278]

A Brax and Johnny show!?! Dude...that would b effing awesome! Every video u make I always learn something new about shows I actually thought I knew quite a bit about. This video is my favorite of yours...so far. And u deserve an award for your cut aways. They are perfect! I seriously did not 1...but 2 actual spit takes from being caught off guard by how funny they were. And, this is so cliche to say, u should so many more subscribers. But in this instance I actually mean that. And I totally believe u will hit big numbers. Its always evident all the work u put into stuff. And from an old wanna be cartoonist I thank u very much. I remember back watching this stuff new and loving it. Then art style changed. Or voice actor change...lots stuff would happen that u couldn't readily find out like today. And then when u could I totally forgot about so much. But u remind me about those questions and then answer them. And not just in this video. But all of yours. Your channel is the only 1 I have notifications for. Ive even started drawing again some. And after all these yrs and the use and advancements of the internet I don't put any pressure on myself to come up with some original characters. Which is just a weird way of saying I'm old. Doodle away. Ur doing the lords work my friend...bless u

I always remember the Farah Fawcett episode and his quote along the lines of: "Oh man Farah Fawcett!! ....the only person who's hair's PRETTIER than mine."

[@MattHunterSays]

Johnny Bravo was a funny character, and a staple of the early Cartoon Network. I loved the original episodes, but I largely skipped the "Carl and Pops" era.

[@ClassyJackBF]

Johnny Bravo was absolutely my favorite CN show back in the day. Excellent video.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Funfact:johnny bravo name came from Barry Williams Greg from the brady bunch. The name not the charater.

[@thisplaceiswack2417]

Noone ever understands my reference when I say "hoo ha huh."

[@marciusstephen7452]

WOOAH MAMA! I can't believe I used to hate this show very much. Ever since I realized that Johnny Bravo off screen is a different person I really fell in love with the show's humor, and him actually if you ask me.🥰🥰🥰

[@uptownkittydc]

Absolutely love the channel 😍

[@HatsOffMedias]

Thanks for the support!

[@Debatra.]

The modern impression of Johnny Bravo has the same issue that Pepe Le Peau has. The misinterpretation of him being someone to look up to. With both cartoons, the joke wasn't "look at this stud" but "look at this idiot who *thinks* he's a stud". Though Johnny has the added benefit of genuinely being a good person, whereas Pepe was mostly one-dimensional.

[@BirdiePlaysYT]

I love Valhallen shaking his hair to the song.

[@lemonsgj]

Thank you for making this! Johnny Bravo was my favorite show as a kid aside from Dexter and Ed, Edd N Eddy!!

[@Unk.B.]

I always thought Johnny was like 17 😭😭

[@featherguardian6023]

I’m honestly surprised Johnny didn’t have a Harem because this Cartoon has Anime written all over it.

[@michaelcutler6118]

What about talking about Carol and Johnny Bravo's friendship? Never mind, you spoke of him, lol.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Originally the Johnny bravo name Came from Greg from the brady bunch.

[@TheGoldfishArmy]

That's where I originally knew the name from. I've never been able to hear people talk about this show without thinking about The Brady Bunch

[@jacobsantiago5693]

When I was young, I loved Johnny Bravo. I actually saw him as a wholesome character. I liked how he was on his dates and how much he loved his mother. He was very confident and loved himself even after all of the rejection. I also kinda thought the little girl was his daughter from a previous relationship, and he didn't know.

[@mattwolf7698]

Johnny probably didn't hook up with Velma because she's a minor, honestly that episode would have been pretty badly remembered in retro spec if they had got together.

[@threasae]

"Jinkies, jinkies... is that some kind of breakfast cereal or somethin?" Is my favorite Johnny quote! Love this show

[@topaz_no_life9440]

nobody ever gives mae whitman the love and attention she deserves ! i love her in everything she’s ever been in fr 😭

[@rojoajax4441]

Love your stuff, the commentary, the breakdown of behind the scenes, and most of all the topics you cover. Also I love your bumps and transitions. Mans got talent right here.
