Nickelodeon, back when it was dope.

I wanna see some Action League Now episodes or something like that next after this.

[@SolSeal2004]

They remind of the kids from Peanuts

[@also_arles]

tommy reminds me of charlie brown

[@spyro115]

if only kids today were more clever to fend off their bullies as these kids.

[@Blossom44100]

spyro115 Agreed

What?

Ikr

[@decimatorentertainmentstud8523]

I loved the jazz music in the background

[@TheInkPitOx]

I like how the background looks like stamps designed to look like pennies.

[@gotanksrox5331]

wait, THIS ACTUALLY EXISTED? i thought i dreamt it up one day

[@MySushiBear]

Same creator as Sheep in the Big City! I thought the animation looked familiar.

[@joshuasampson6343]

Mo Willems. He also created Suzie Kabloozie and Feff the cat

[@packersfan]

My god so many things I've forgotten about all these shorts!! So great to see them all again!!

[@missaamane8580]

You know when you haven't seen something for years and then when you see it all the memories just come back right away. .

[@TurboTailsRetroClassicGamer]

Poor Billy. Every time Billy speaks, Tina gets mad and they toss him outta the group, most likely into a trashcan, due to the sound effects we hear.

[@sean.furlong1989]

Am I the only one who gets a beatnik vibe from Betty-Ann?

[@ZakWolf]

Yes, Betty Anne was supposed to be a beatnik, same with Grubby Groo. Though at times, Betty Anne kind of reminds me of a modern-day hipster, with her horn-rimmed eyeglasses, and how she just untied her shoes for the heck of it.

[@aidenaiden1316]

That was some MAJOR SCREAM HE HAS!! AND I LIKE IT!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gabe_s_videos]

I always assumed the intro was saying “they never stay, never stay small.” Turns out he’s saying “They nervous, they nebbish, they small.”

[@dannigro8794]

Gabriel Schleifer I thought it was they notice they never stay small

Nobody fall for your shoes on untied prank, but Rapunzel. But by the time they come back to do it again, she got them back

Grubby Groo debuted on Sesame Street decades ago

[@carenasmith7]

Oh mane I remember this show.. I loved this show

[@mathewgodfrey1517]

The pauses the happen after an out burst.

[@flowerlover9686]

I remember seeing this when I was about 10. Good times.

[@mottoanime8218]

I remember this

[@FreeAimDog]

her: hey your shoes are untied me: but i wear flip flops, so they never had laces.

[@neo-warkid4edwards222]

Tina: GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@ConversusVans]

Tommy's screaming never gets old. They need to air these shorts on Nick Pluto TV (yes, I've got Roku).

[@TheInkPitOx]

Wasn't this a part of Kablam?

[@ConversusVans]

Not this short, but later Off-Beats shorts. These were on Nickelodeon's SNICK block in early '96, then they were later shown on the first (new) Paramount Rugrats VHS Release, "Tommy Troubles".

[@Umbralon]

The origin story of Millia Rage.

[@LunaP1]

Oh god I remember this show. XD

[@dennyfrontier]

holy shit I remember this

[@unclefranklin4575]

Wasn't this on a Rugrats vhs tape? Or maybe it was the Hey Arnold movie?

[@CosplayCameraGuyphotography]

more More MORE 🤣😂🤣😂

[@katherinenovelli4326]

It’s not nice to pull pranks on people or flip someone on the nose. When I was a little girl, I’d tell my mom that her shoes are untied and if she wasn’t wearing sneakers she would tell me “I Don’t Have Laces” but I didn’t growl like Tina did. And it’s true that dogs don’t wear shoes.

[@PerryWhyte]

2:10 Is he tying her hair into her shoes?

[@johnboehmer8604]

1:29 when is he going learn to keep his comments to himself

[@niceguy4441]

Tommy is what i imagine my husband was like as a kid.

[@athletics0067]

That actually shows kids to be secretive

[@MissTV36]

I think I saw this cartoon very long ago.

[@koolaidman8242]

Yes because that SO evil

[@yaboyschooledya]

This show has a kinda Charlie Brown vibe too it

[@SilverSupernova6]

What was Tommy even casting the fishing rod into?

[@inkyboy88]

Maybe he was going fishing and decided to practice casting real quick.

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

What was this show?

[@MissFurby2535]

This was when Nickelodeon cared for entertainment for kids that it was funny and colorful now we got stupid sitcom shows on Nick with bad acting

[@gamersideshowtom2084]

I forgot about this show

[@eddy9216]

#OffBeats

[@sansw.d3539]

W-what the heck is this?

[@cell-chankikuhara8484]

Wow flickering noses sound sooo fun pssch Lame stupid populars! 🙄

[@TimmyToonLover]

I still think The Populars look like The Delightful Children from Down the Lane. Minus the simultaneous speaking, that is.

[@mollycassaundra]

I was hoping someone else thought this.

[@fernie-fernandez]

TimmytheToonLover There was an episode in KND called REPORT, where Number 5's segment was based on that...! You don't think that any of the developer were on that short?

[@mitchfletcher2386]

Fernie Fernandez Mo Willems.

[@christophercervantes5753]

They really do don't they!

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

Fernie Fernandez Is that what that was?

[@briannaflores3064]

1:18

[@stevarino1989]

Oh man I LOVED this back when I was in 3rd grade. I remember they were shown a lot around 1997/98. I haven't seen a lot of these shorts since then!!!

[@sonikku956]

I never realized that this was inspired by the beatniks/50's jazz era as a little kid.

[@genie1363]

Never realized the intro says they nervous, they nebbish, they small. Spent an entire childhood trying to figure that out.

[@TimmyToonLover]

Thought he said "They never stay, never stay small." But you may be right.

[@Hakajin]

I caught "nebbish" as a kid, but I had no idea what it meant. I still didn't, until about 20 seconds ago when I looked it up on Urban Dictionary.

[@ZakWolf]

The closed-captioning would mistakingly say it as "They never stay, never stay small," as if Mo Willems was trying to imitate a vinyl record skipping, due to the "retro" feel of these shorts. The captioning also would always get Grubby Groo's last name wrong, spelling it as "Grew," "Gru," even "Dude!"

[@sean.furlong1989]

I thought he said that too! After nearly 20 years I now know!

[@ZakWolf]

Before SpongeBob's "Your Shoe's Untied," we had the Off-Beats do it! Looks great in HD too, compared to the 1990s Rugrats "Tommy Troubles" VHS that was recorded in EP/SLP, resulting in a noticeably low quality.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

Yup!!!

[@KGA7771]

It's like Nickelodeon's version of the Peanuts Gang

[@ZakWolf]

And it's also ironic, given how in the late 90s they were airing both "The Off-Beats" AND the real Peanuts cartoons!

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

Lol i always liked tommy he shouts when he has a response 😂.

[@hi.imjojo.x]

I didn't even remember this existed! Whoaaa!

[@christiankirksey5931]

Johanna Caba It was on Rugrats video Tommy Troubles

[@Wickedfan219]

I remember having that tape! Along with Chuckie the Brave, Tales From the Crib, The Santa Experience, Dr. Tommy Pickles, A Rugrats Vacation, Discover America, The Rugrats Movie, and Rugrats in Paris.

[@christiankirksey5931]

Wickedfan219 Actually I do have those videos myself

[@Simpsfan300]

Same man. It's been so long that when I came across it my mind was blown.

[@MinyMiny]

Oh my gosh I remember this??? I didn't even remember that I remembered this o_o

[@pygmiegoatsheepbeat]

Gosh this brings me back! I mostly forgot about this! It wasn't really a series, it was just.....a little segment between commercials. I remember the one who always ended up yelling something. Didn't remember any of the names though. But I remember bits and pieces!

[@ke228]

Lmao I totally forgot about how they used to always dropkick that one kid.

[@PhineasFlynn98]

I love The Offbeats so much and they’re on a list one of my top 10 favorite KaBlam! shorts along with some other KaBlam! shorts like Prometheus and Bob, Action League Now!, Life With Loopy, Sniz & Fondue and all the Henry & June segments.

[@TimmyToonLover]

Also, that girl in the beginning said "The Misfits" which is what The Off-Beats were originally named. Wonder if the original opening is available somewhere.

[@SethHarrisGordon]

I was thinking the same thing myself, hmmm it's kind of a Mandela Effect in a way.

[@Jensettiman]

They don't make shows like this anymore. Sad but true.

[@vincent8286]

Aw memories. Thanks for the great quality of these.

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

The art style is done by the same guy who made the Suzy Kabloozy shorts from Sesame Street!

[@ZakWolf]

Yep. Mo Willems also created the Cartoon Network show "Sheep in the Big City." I love his art style.

[@PumpkinLicorice]

But how'd they get so popular if they're so damn mean to everybody??😩

I haven't seen or thought of this in 20 years until this came across my feed.

Yes. Mo Willems, who also made Sheep in the Big City and Codename: Kids Next Door.

[@dannyb.931]

@@YuukiTakemoto1996 Technically, Warburton created KND but Willems had a major role in the art direction
