The COMPLETE History of Cartoon Network Crossovers (1997-2023)

[@JoeRuffler]

Let me know what your favorite era of Cartoon Network and If you want more videos check out my group reaction channel Sorta Stupid, weve been doing a TON of Cartoon Network shows over there that i think you’d like! 👉 youtube.com/@SortaStupid

[@ShadyRK9]

2000-2009 was my favorite era. (before CN real!)

[@ruffsenpai]

@@ShadyRK9was a fantastic era!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I'm new here

[@supervector4757]

The check it era was certainly the best time for Cartoon Network

[@davidbacon6468]

I am a pure 100% cartoon network fan all the way

[@KatelynJewel]

I noticed MAD has mostly been forgotten at this point, and while the whole show is about crossover parodies, I think it's at least worth pointing out that there was one CN crossover skit they did for the channel's 20th anniversary called Once Upon a Toon which was a parody of Once Upon a Time where a kid was trying to reunite all the old Cartoon Network shows and restore the characters' memories.

[@kirboghostking]

That Ben 10 x Gen Rex Crossover (Not the Shitty Reboot one) Lives in my head rent free i swear.

[@OLeozaoBR]

2:09:35 Villainous is produced by Cartoon Network Latin America division and Victor and Valentino is an show that takes place in Mexico.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I love how Cartoon Network has their own (sort of) connected universe, just like Hanna-Barbera!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Yeah. Several H-B Characters appeared in a few Episodes of Johnny Bravo as Guest Stars and/or Cameos

[@KatelynJewel]

Since you grew up with the City era and didn't talk about this certain block during the Powerhouse era, I can definitely tell you never saw Cartoon Cartoon Fridays (not to be confused with Fridays which started in 2003.) This was definitely the biggest crossover during that time since it was hosted by a different character from a show each week, and we got to see them interacting with other characters (my favorite being when Mojo Jojo was hosting and had to do it alongside Blossom and Courage much to his dismay.) Also, that promo for CCF that aired on Nickelodeon wasn't from 2004 because the block had ended the previous year. In addition to CCF, the Powerhouse era had some skits during commercial breaks that would pave the way for the City era such as Fred, Chicken and Thundarr the Barbarian looking for a parking space, Sheep in the Big City's titular character trying to find a group at a table in a cafeteria where he fits in, and Scrappy-Doo ranting about the network being taken over by the newer shows. Other things worth mentioning from that era are JBVO which Johnny Bravo hosted taking requests from viewers to show episodes of any Cartoon Network show as long as it was short (if that alone wasn't enough to qualify, one episode had Scooby-Doo characters make guest appearances), and the Fancy Anvil Awards Show in 2002 which was hosted my various Cartoon Network characters.

[@deandredukes95]

The 2000s was the golden era of cartoons!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

1:54:32, Seeing Billy, Ed, Jake and Scooby-Doo hang out would've been Comedy Gold.

[@ReneMartinez-pp6qd]

I'm not gonna lie but I think the plot to the wb 100th anniversary crossover would easily become a movie of a lifetime ❤❤❤

[@MarshallLeeA]

Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc features the 15 year old Pebbles and Bam Bam as a blink and you miss it cameo And a full Blue Falcon crossover in season 2

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I would be shocked if they traveled through Time

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

11:22, Seeing Dynomutt and Blue-Falcon appear in an episode of Dexter's Lab is Hilarious

[@JohnSmith-jh6ey]

Hector also cameoed in jail in “duck” “im not even on this stupid show anymore “

[@cooleopard50]

1:25:22 The way you guys'll be starting Ultimate Alien soon, it's the PERFECT time to get into Generator Rex, since the crossover for both shows Occur during this time. Generator is way underrated, and it deserved so much more

[@SwintFujiyama9]

27:48 How Jonny Bravo says Pterodactyl is Beyond Hilarious😅🤣😂....

[@jamesrobson8308]

Serecet Saturday's from what I remember was pretty okay, it's all about cyrptids

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

1:19:57, Some reason I like to see a Scooby-Doo/Ben 10 Crossover Movie or a Scooby-Doo/Secret Saturdays Crossover Movie someday

[@PikachuPikahue]

Amazing video Ruff! It was really enjoyable, and its cool to see you talk about all of these cartoons in one video. I'd love to see a sequel video covering the other crossover stuff like the movies or the comics!

[@justasimplenobody2666]

You 100% should check out Generator Rex, very underrated gem from Man of Action that I wish I saw more of. The concept of the nanites, how they fleshed out the concept with the enemy designs and the overarching mystery throughout was something that kept me invested even past all the cool shit Rex would transform into and fight against. I honestly need to go back and watch the ending if there is one since we stopped using cable halfway thru the series run, so I've been wondering for years how the overarching plot tied up. The Secret Saturdays was also good, I never knew of the newer crossover with Ben 10 tho. Definitely a must-watch now that I'm aware of it.. Secret Saturdays was based around a family of cryptid hunters basically, heavy emphasis on their family dynamic while having some cool creatures based from real life mythologies and I'm sure a few original creatures here n there. Both series are worth a chance at the very least, I'm sure they might not be for everyone but there's obviously a lot of love behind both series. ❤ Omg I NEED to read the IDW comics for the crossovers that cover art looked amazinggggg The OK-KO Cartoon City episode, that punch.. my whole childhood in one sequence, I could actually cry 😭

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

4:04, Johnny's Eyes are revealed

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

2:24:42, Eat your Heart out, Space Jam 2: A New Legacy, you got nothing on this. UPDATE: 2:26:52, I really hope Scooby-Doo and the Gang doesn't mind if The Titans, The Gremlins, Daffy Duck and Yogi Bear can use The Mystery Machine for their adventure. Double-Update: 2:28:46, This should've been included in the actualy Episode as the Extended Ending instead..... *Robin: Looks Like you really were on the Guest List after all. My bad. All the WB Animated Characters: >GASP!< WHAAAT!!?? (Everyone, except for Robin, facepalms themselves) All the WB Animated Characters: ROBIN, YOU STUPID IDIOT! Ophellia Ramirez: Can you guys believe this? Juniper Lee: I can't. JabberJaw: I'm with you two. Cyborg: You gotta be kidding me, Robin! Scooby-Doo: Yeah, I agree with him! Daffy Duck: YOU MEAN TO TELL US THAT WE WENT ON THIS INCREDIBLE AND INSANE ADVENTURE TO RESTORE THE STUDIO AND SAVED EVERYONE'S LIVES FOR NOTHING ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE WAY TOO DUMB AND YOU WERE EVEN STUPID ENOUGH TO JUST FORGET ABOUT DOUBLE CHECKING THE DANG GUEST LIST TO SEE IF MICHIGAN JACKSON FROG WAS ON THE LIST ONLY TO FIND OUT HE WAS ON THE LIST THE ENTIRE TIME???? Raven: How in the world can you screw that up, Robin? ITS NOT THAT HARD TO DO! Aquaman: You're really the biggest Fool ever! Top Cat: That might have been the BIGGEST blunder ever! Even Dynomutt would be shamed of that. Dynomutt: And I thought I often make mistakes! But never THIS badly. Blue-Falcon: What is wrong with you, Robin? Dynomutt: What Blue-Falcon said! Robin: I, I, Eer, listen...I just---! Bugs Bunny: All in favor of getting Robin for screwing up big time and making Daffy, Yogi, The Gremlins and the rest of the Titans go on this Adventure for nothing and wasting their time, raise your hand! >Everyone, expect for Robin, rasies their Hands< Bugs Bunny: All against the Idea and that Robin should be let go easy and be forgiven? (Robin rasies his hand) (Robin runs of screaming) Daffy Duck: GET HIM! All the WB Animated Character: YEAH! GET ROBIN! (They all chase Robin) All the WB Animated Characters (Running): YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, ROBIN! Robin (Running): Can we please just talk this over? All the WB Animated Characters (Running): WHEN WE'RE DONE POUNDING YOU LIKE CRAZY!! >Looney Tunes Theme Music Plays< Porky Pig: Th-Th-Tha-- (Beast Boy, in Pig Form, pushes him outta the way) Beast Boy: >Chuckles< That's all, Yo!

[@ronin-reverie]

Love all the work that went into this! Such a fun nostalgia trip!

[@JoeRuffler]

Glad you liked it! 🙏

[@waltersalmonscartooncrosso784]

1:20:03 I grew up with the CN Noobs Era and I give it a 8/10

[@izurukamukura2262]

I kind of missed not hearing about the power puff gorillaz cross over

[@blitz4506]

Dang i was hoping youd go through the 2010s crossovers blind. But its good to see another video.

[@chad9186]

I wonder if the I Am Weasel segment with the retired Hanna Barbera characters took some inspiration from Slappy Squirrel from Animaniacs

[@glennparker7028]

1:48:16 we all can see the snail!!!!!!!!

[@philipshenton6677]

You forgot the Johnny bravo crossover with scooby doo

[@McCheeseincakes]

6:11 What disrespect to Speed Buggy! Another tiny crossover you could have talked about but completely glazed over on top I'm just calling him "sentient car"!

[@sapphiresupernova]

Still my favorite channel, although unfortunately I don't have cable tv anymore so I missed all the 30th anniversary stuff last year. I have max though so I at least get to rewatch my favorite shows from when I was little. Also, the Moxy Show was CN's first show, but a) they rarely showed it, b) it was cancelled quietly, c) most of it is lost media now, and d) the only bits I know of it come from youtube lost media channels and wikipedia. I truly don't remember ever having seen it as a kid, although that could just be because the show was older than me by a couple years. Whoa, SGCTC premiered almost exactly a year before I was born lol that's wild. Do you guys remember the reruns being on TBS? It was kind of like seeing your teacher out of school for the first time. Powerpuff Girls is still my all-time favorite show and the episode where they showed up Major Glory is good and all, but the dick robot and hot p*ssy jokes at the end sort of lose it for me 😂. And Bubbles isn't even the fastest out of the girls, that's also Buttercup. She flew so fast she time travelled and took the other two with her. Crossover Nexus was the channel's 25th anniversary special so that's why it was so big. It's also the first mention of Puffy AmiYumi and Moxy since their shows ended. I still love that they used the original designs for the PPG instead of the 2016 reboot style. Ditto with the WB/Cartoon Network Studios crossover special there at the end. I apologize for my rambling; I'm on the ASD spectrum and cartoons are one of my hyperfixations.

[@mctosianadaje5814]

KND was my childhood and also the crossover with grim adventures of billy and Mandy I always idolized numbuh 5 bc she was so cool and if I was in the latter s universe I probly would be friends with her if decommissioning wouldn't be needed

[@jamesrobson8308]

Generator rex was pretty goated back in the day

[@mctosianadaje5814]

Plus in Polish version of the grim adventures of KND numbuh one says that he does offers help even the little ones

[@mctosianadaje5814]

If the class of numbuh 3000 was a real crossover I would watch it because I'm a total sucker for all KND related

[@Hypercube2017]

40:05 ok, but, _voice actors ain’t cheap._ Or sometimes alive o_ o 1:05:21 yeah, this is a scene I remember for some reason. I think it’s because how much sense it made when I was a kid… don’t ask, ok? 1:26:14 you really should check out Generator Rex and Secret Saturdays, from what I saw and remember they were really good series.

[@n.d.engleson6499]

2:24:44 100 YEARS!!!!!

[@aierionsmith6760]

the powerpuff girls my favorite superheros

[@Peridot916]

Could you do an episode analysing Pearl from Steven Universe? I'd like to hear your detailed thoughts on her

[@teenflashgaming-yc6ul]

49:18 mommy Frankie

[@pado6614]

I would preffer you to talk about Courage and Scooby doo

[@supernerdgavin]

Generator Rex is fantastic. Honestly I think it’s better than Ben 10 at times. It has a much darker story and setting, with really good character work

[@theshenpartei]

God nick should of done this too with some of their cartoons on tv The Games don’t count

[@teenflashgaming-yc6ul]

What about dark knight Batman joining on the Rachel thing

[@antoniowilliams796]

Confirmed: there gonna do Ben 10(2016(

[@Wolfieboy3224]

Did you see the episode of billy and Mandy with yogi bear and bo bo

[@nicholassims9837]

Will you do a Nickelodeon version ?

[@JoeRuffler]

I’ve been debating it 🤔

[@jakewood8675]

I love watching your videos especially on the Sorta Stupid reaction channel. I think you will love Generator Rex. It's not only better than Ben 10 in some ways but it also has a darker tone and setting. ⚙ By the way, have you ever seen Sym-Bionic Titan, The Secret Saturdays, or Storm Hawks? Those feel like shows you would also enjoy if you want to give them a try. 😍

[@One_Run]

Please watch ok ko

[@nnamditube6477]

TMNT is not from cartoon network and warner bros is from nickelodeon and paramount

[@HiggsBosonBlues2020]

Its as if no one remembers the Laff-a-lympics. Also, crossovers were already a big thing in the 70's. Scooby Doo, being the forerunner in it. This is the complete history of poorly researched content. smh

[@DarkestVoid]

Great video but the “sexism” is more so a joke. Idk why so many people are that soft that they try to find something “wrong” in everything.

[@JoeRuffler]

I know it’s a joke that’s why I pointed out it was a joke. Maybe you’ll find the irony in your comment now lol

[@DarkestVoid]

@@JoeRufflerno irony because my comment wasn’t directed towards you it was directed towards other people who actually find stuff like this a problem in shows but okay buddy lmao. If I was referring to you then you’d know it so reading comprehension may be something you need to work on lmao.

[@JoeRuffler]

“Great video but” who made the video? It’s clearly not a reading comprehension issue. I’m the one that made the joke about the sexism. Not sure why you got so triggered buddy lol

[@maximilianosanchez1106]

You missed Harvey Birdman Attorneyat Law and the MAD CN/Once Upon a Time parody sketch. Also all Hanna-Barbera sketches in Billy and Mandy, like Hoz Delgado running over some HB characters with his truck, or Yogi Bear trying to steal Billy's basket. Also, does Jellystone! counts as a crossover series since it has most HB characters? it should since you counted 6teen's Jude in Total DramaRara.

[@ghoulthedamned5940]

The fact that The Moxy show got referenced in one of these Omg. That's a real deep cut to the channels roots.

[@ShadyRK9]

New avatar! Cool!

[@JoeRuffler]

Yea my hair got a bit longer lol

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

1:22:43, "Mystery Solvers Club State Finals" is actually one of my Favorite Episodes ever, along with "Heart of Evil" (Featuring Dynomutt & Blue-Falcon)

[@aquelgamermexicano]

The "Our Dad" bit from PPG always puts a smile on my face because they just casually owned sexism by making Captain Glory look like a dickhead in every level, since he was not only an sexist douchebag with all his questions, he ended up feeling like in an insensitive asshole when realizing the girls don't even have a mom, he even turns to the rest of the league being like "I fucked up" And as for Cartoon Network City, i do LOVE how Villainous essentially brought it back as the setup for its worldbuilding.

[@aquelgamermexicano]

Fun fact for any Vivziepop fan but not clinically online LOL: Beetlejuice in Teen Titans GO is voiced by Alex Brightman, who plays him in the Broadway play of the character, but is also the voice of Sir Pentious, Adam and Fizzarolli from Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss respectively

[@Inspiration_Date]

You missed the Clarence episode "Video Store," where it crosses over with Home Movies, of all things.

[@KSweets23]

*spoilers but fionna and cake had a crossover reference in one of the episodes but i won’t spoil what it is

[@glennparker7028]

17:34 What's Space Ghost doing here?

[@CopperNickus]

Great avatar! Well designed and I love that it has your tattoos. Love the video.

Groovy video and it must've took you awhile to make this possible, right?@@JoeRuffler

[@supernerdgavin]

Damn, he called Starro “the starfish creature” kinda forgot Ruff knows 0 about DC lol

[@JoeRuffler]

This is true lol

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

​@@JoeRufflerSeriously, why can't we get more of these groovy Cartoon Network Crossovers like this right now??

[@ultrachristian28]

Very nice video as always buddy ^^ I'm surprised you didn't notice (or at least not mentioned) how the uncle grandpa x steven episode actually some foreshadowing/kinda spoilers As Lars and Sadie'ship literally sinking Or UG telling steven to pulish his gem at least once a year (this is a very obscure reference, but the only gem that needs to receive this treatment is a DIAMOND, and we actually see steven pulishing it in the garnet weeding episode lmao) And about the Ben 10 crossovers. . .yeah, is better if you don't deep to much in those before omniverse, but a mini-series reaction to every crossover (and maybe the reboot specials?) afterwards? Holy shit i'm about it ^^

[@WolfMoon351]

Meh I don’t really like Teen Titans Go. It’s pretty annoying. Also for the 100th WB…why focus Teen Titans Go?

[@JoeRuffler]

Because it’s the most popular currently airing Cartoon Network show

[@luigigoomba6526]

Johnny bravo is 17 not early 20s 27:00

[@ProfCoolio]

I hope my animated series idea can come to fruition someday. Looks like so much fun making a crossover

[@SoraFan23]

(sniff) I really miss this Cartoon Network. It was always the network I tune into to when I was coming back from school.

[@RGRDBEM]

This was super nostalgic and fun to watch! I can't for you and the group to react to the rest of Ben 10 and Teen Titans and get to the crossovers!!
