The fact that his friend was ment to be a Onion instead of a human make this interessing

[@thelogoshow9897]

The Onion Was JJ

[@harrie_world]

@@thelogoshow9897and they cloned him then he was Babs

[@MANNBACHBAZZY]

@@harrie_worldyes, they split him to two

[@eliasdoezeverything]

Kinda weird how the pilot was made in 2009 but not actually aired until 10 years later in 2019

[@JayRidders232]

Development hell.

[@Bruh404-i4e]

0:32 man they changed the humans into short versions of them instead of being tall/long.

[@heyspellicup]

I remember this version of Pinky Malinky. I can kind of see why it wasn't picked up for a series at the time. But Im still glad it got to see the light of day in the end though.

[@ThunderTheYellowJolteon]

This is more different than the actual Netflix series. And way better.

[@Bluescluesminionsfan464]

I saw the Netflix and Nickelodeon produced it

[@fortranXVIII]

huh wasnt expecting to see you here

[@VibrantlySmartalicious87]

So is that how Nick and Cartoon Network became rivals?

[@mariasocorrodesaguedesdeod6778]

I prefer the Netflix version

[@Gustavtoe]

netflix is better tbh

[@emilianoruizaspe2834]

Adventure Time = Rejected from Nickelodeon but Rescued by Cartoon Network Pinky Malinky = Rejected from Cartoon Network but Rescued by Nickelodeon and Netflix *COINCIDENCE?!*

[@RicartiRicardo]

It would have been good at Cartoon Network

[@TobyWorldNetwork]

@@RicartiRicardoyeah

[@RicartiRicardo]

It would have been kind of like gumball

[@DillionDog10]

I think not!

[@Mohammadhamzasiddiqui2008]

I think NOT!

[@KoolKidKenny-bo6xj]

This just feels like Rocko's Modern Life. And I love it!

[@enzo2.2]

2:29 who thought he will do a middle finger...

[@NPlushStudio]

This is so much better than the Netflix version

[@faustinochannel9178]

Am I the only one who realizes that the 2010 CN logo is in a “2009” Pilot?

[@MurderLamb]

0:46 that squeal is hilarious :D

[@devingoodman0567]

⁠​⁠@R1FT102 nah you said it wrong you have to do it more bri’ish like “IT’S BARRY FISTBURGAH!”

[@OMGSOSILLEH]

oAAAAAAAAAÆH

[@_JasonTheFox_]

Pinky malinky What's good for 2009

[@LennieFunki]

This is weird, I see why it was not picked for CN, the onion looks like Babs from the actual show

[@Crey-xb3ks]

This looks like a MAD parody.

[@NexeleFairex]

1:39 this frame is so cursed lmao yea this pilot looks kinda better than the show we got

[@BubsTheCool]

0:46 sequel to aeugh; œaaagh

[@Agoobernamedren]

I binged the whole Netflix show

[@viber_z]

it’s not bad and not good at the same time

[@positiveimage8183]

Babs looks like an onion.

[@MANNBACHBAZZY]

@@positiveimage8183with JJ’s personality.

[@Iordofthegame]

your profile picture is a porn artists character, i had nothing to get out of saying this but ok

[@pixel__huh]

The voices were so weird and i love it

[@JoyTaylor-101]

Why is the intro such a head banger

[@Fiftyseven575seven]

It's way different from before and I wish it stayed the same

[@rafaelgutierrez6275]

"We have Gumball at home" Gumball at home:

[@rexquinones1456]

thats what i was thinking

[@Yourdailymemes53716]

The fact freddy fistburger was actually gonna be rude😭

[@MJ_2Day]

Yeah that dude was so chill in the show Freddy Fistburger

[@grahamskaggs4376]

(in my opinion) everything about this is unappeeling, but thank you for preserving it anyway

[@iamnoralis]

Time for Class ŒŒŒ ITS BARRY FIST BURGER

[@jakyloyjuan]

Time for class-!

[@jakyloyjuan]

GAAAAASSSSSSPPPP

[@jakyloyjuan]

[@snezzzz]

[@MANNBACHBAZZY]

Dang, did not know Pinky was British. Also JJ and Babs were both one character. How did i not know this?

[@user-wu6vi5sd6n]

This kinda reminds me as 6teen and amazing world of gumball

[@Loganstr3]

I think this looks better

[@Aleksandreshushtakashvili]

Time for claAss LOL THAT ACCENT IS NOTHING LIKE THE PINKY MALINKY WE KNOW TODAY

[@AlguemExistente-vs3rt]

I'm glad Netflix removed this strange onion and replaced it with Babs

[@KeiyaanDyerTheCoolDude]

Same

[@harrie_world]

He’s truly JJ

[@iamnoralis]

That ITS PINKY MILINKY I felt that

[@MegaJuarez15]

After scathing the show I’m glad what we had in the end but this could be for like short films

[@asmalanimationstudios]

We need a Pinky Malinky Pilot 2009's Episode Name.

[@logantyree6103]

What could've been!

[@anidiotonyoutube2022]

What SHOULD'VE been.

[@Mohammadhamzasiddiqui2008]

I didn't know it was from cn originaly

[@MTAD100]

Oh i get it so nickelodeon rejected Adventure time and Cartoon network rejected pinky mailnky

[@marialuisabarbato5308]

freddy fistburger looks like murdoc niccals

[@FrenchFriesWasEaten]

Thats the opposite of adventure time pilot...

[@X1Daring2]

This has a better intro lol xD

[@Kamryn-b1m]

[@retie2326]

Fun Fact: Calobi Productions thought is was a rip-off to Gumball because of this scene here. Almost at 1:07

[@Thepooperwooper]

Yet the pilot came in 2009

[@thelogannetwork]

It’s sad because this was supposed to air on Cartoon Network but it aired on Netflix, do some research. And the was made partly by the creators of gumball. Yes Nick owns it but it never intended to be a ripoff.

[@GreenAppl3VR]

This pinky Malinky looks like weird. We need the other characters.

How did he become a sausage

[@KaneGriffin-ug1hb]

A rare genetic mutation That runs I his family

[@RicartiRicardo]

It has a Gumball kind of art style

[@INMOP20]

They were made by the same animation studio, in 2015 Nickelodeon bought the rights to Pinky Malinky, but following the animation style similar to Gumball

[@FireyBrazilfnfhhpayFan]

It seems like the game has changed, doesn't it?

[@BrugVRisCool]

Was this lost media?

[@vanderlytavaresmelo]

The actual one was the one I watched as I was younger, this one seems much better in parts of... humor? Idk

[@simtrainertoyslayerextras4811]

They replaced that opinion guy with that girl and boy

[@JuanGonzalez-tx7ol]

I wish they never replaced him

[@CaydonToons]

Why is pinky British

[@Katiealexander30]

Wait what

[@BTMMAUTTP]

Pinky a little like sounds like UK dub Thomas from 2009-2014.

[@danteyblasdiaz4256]

Comercial's burger. King 2007

[@danteyblasdiaz4256]

[@user-nw8hs2cd1w]

Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon

[@nobbyjrmarkas8977]

I REMEMBER PINKY MALINKY

[@Astro2010-d2k]

Me too

[@LostMediaFan]

Same! I used watch in netflix

[@seekbutbetter4521]

HE WAS A BOY💯🔥🗣️🔥💯🗣️

[@JakesLegos]

Bro this actual rude and tough version of Freddy is way way better than the actual series Freddy

[@LOS_NEGRITOS]

this is superior in any given way to the unbelievably dumb shit the final series ended up being. like the human designs are so varied and fun, and the food dudes have both this gradients that make them stand out among everything else and their animations and expressions are crazy and creative. its like the dude behind the project got a lobotomy after this.

[@KomodoKrap420]

This show should've stayed insane and zany

[@FPBRM23]

theyre both decent in my eyes

[@anouar-ic3nk]

0:45 funniest part in my opinion

[@German_animationball]

Did it get declined and shifted to nick?

[@dejus_e]

Made by: Chris Garbutt💀

[@carolinelozano7385]

I don’t know this show was in 2009 in Cartoon Network

[@Pixeljelly_only]

I think i am the only person who loved the show

[@user-fp4gl8ox6m]

Deaf people: great animation 😀😀😀 Blind people: 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨💀

[@DddEee-bx7fb]

Pfft what a wiener

[@adiabutarif]

I know that guy she’s trying copy show

[@frankbobryk]

i think its actually funnier than the show

[@Bunchysoft]

I think the Netflix version was kind of bad and I would have preferred this one

[@Duolingofa]

¿Eso?

[@jessicapineda8977]

Todo ❤

[@goon5725]

I watched a few episodes after seeing this. I mean, it’s not bad, but this would’ve been better. Maybe even a hit. I bet if it got its shot, we’d all be calling TAWOG a rip-off.
