What A Cartoon! - Godfrey and Zeek in "Lost Control"

[@ZakWolf]

I always loved this short as a kid. Rob Paulsen and Tom Kenny make a great pair, two prominent voices of my childhood (even they basically make Godrey and Zeek sound like Heffer Wolfe and Pinky). I especially loved the Plunger Boy educational short film, particularly when he suddenly turns all threatening and scary when talking about the emergency shutdown levers.

I click on all of these thinking there is one that I haven't seen but the memories all come flooding back... I used to watch so much damn TV.... I've seen this whole series lol

[@JulesHinmon]

2:16 WHEN THERE’S A FALSE ALARM, WHOEVER PULLED THE LEVER WILL BE TAKEN AWAY AND SEVERELY PUNISHED!

[@Bigtoonscomedycartoons479]

What the heck!? 2:16 😂😂😂

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

2:20 OK bye now enjoy your tour, Bye!

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@JulesHinmon that part still makes me laugh hard, I almost had an ulcer from laughing so hard

[@ZakWolf]

School fire alarm systems in a nutshell! "BUT IF THERE'S A FALSE DRILL, WHOEVER PULLED THE FIRE ALARM WILL BE TAKEN AWAY AND SEVERELY PUNISHED!"

[@DecoytheSkeletalBoy]

What A Cartoons really ran the gamut of "This could make a great show, it's a shame it wasn't picked up" to "Why would you ever think this could make a full series? It doesn't even work as a short." This was one of the latter.

[@gabe_s_videos]

Or “This is a great short, but I don’t really want more than one of it.”

[@TinketVonDutch]

Tom Kenny and Rob Paulsen are in this short. Kenny voiced a giraffe (Godfrey) by using Heffer’s voice while Paulsen did a pig (Zeek) by using Pinky’s voice with a few enhancements.

[@TylerEllis-pv4sl]

The pig sounds like rocko

[@ZakWolf]

@@TylerEllis-pv4sl He mostly sounds like Rocko at 1:12 - 1:20. But in other cases, Zeek sounds more like Pinky, once in a while sounding similar to Yakko.

[@erainmartinez8175]

I miss this show

[@twist58]

I had the privilege to speak briefly with this short’s creator Zac Moncrief back in 2014. He was nice. He once said that he chose Tom Kenny and Rob Paulsen for the lead characters because he couldn’t see anyone else for them other than those two.

[@julianboim7493]

6:16 Therfore I would have to say: POOP ! 💩 😂

[@julianboim7493]

I haven’t seen this cartoon in over 24 years ago! Dang! 🤩 Wow!

[@gabe_s_videos]

I just realized they're going down the water slide on a giant turd XD

[@rstein926]

That guy at 04:41 looks like an older version of Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

Rob Paulsen & Tom Kenny, Love them.

[@ZakWolf]

Two prominent voices of my childhood!

[@ShellshockPrime]

This would have been Cartoon Network's answer to Rocko's Modern Life.

[@aust_inc]

POV: you fastforward past the movie on the VHS to watch the bonus cartoons at the end.

[@zacmoncrief238]

was this actually ever on a V HS? Never found it in the real world! I coulda made some money off it if it had:)

[@aust_inc]

@@zacmoncrief238 yes! It was on the Scooby-Doo Wedding Bell Boos VHS.

[@zacmoncrief8111]

@@aust_inc wish I had known that back in the day… I’ll have to look for that k. eBay or something! Thanks for the info! Hope you enjoyed this one as much as some if the other shorts!

[@scoobertscoobydoo8879]

Directed by Zac Moncrief, who’d later work on shows like Family Guy, Phineas & Ferb, Brickleberry and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

It’s the Tom Kenny & Rob Paulsen Show.

[@ZakWolf]

Yep! They make a great duo.

[@bernicetam6557]

0:40 Heffer from Rocko's Modern Life

[@ZakWolf]

And at 0:41 it's Pinky from "Animaniacs" and "Pinky and the Brain!"

[@TVkingOmega]

Notice the bus stranger reading a magazine with John K…

[@StarwarsHalofreak]

I knew the 90s was the era of toilet humor, but jeez.

[@kfc28371ify]

I remember this one haha😂😅 Especially Plunger Boy! Edit: Oh, yeah and... "Don't talk to strangers!"

[@JulesHinmon]

This show would have had a far better shot of being made in a world without Rocko's Modern Life.

[@grievousdude9634]

0:45 A CARICATURE OF #GenndyTartakovsky READING A MAGAZINE ON #JohnKricfalusi!!!!! XD (Proof that it's a caricature of Genndy: twitter.com/zacmoncrief/status/1150499439133376513 ) #CartoonNetwork #WhatACartoon #cartoon #cartoons #nostalgia #nostalgic #characterdesign

[@ZakWolf]

Not too surprising, given that John Kricfalusi was one of Genndy's influences. He even admitted that "Dexter's Laboratory" was basically his answer to "Ren and Stimpy," and featured several of the same artists from the Games Animation-era episodes (many of which worked on these "What a Cartoon" shorts as well).

[@gundambassexe31]

Now a available on Checkered past the what a cartoon shorts

[@devindurantphxsuns]

He so said shitting down the whole plant lol

[@lorenamansillagoyeneche8920]

[@Ubritoons96]

[@danielferstendig]

I wish this was a series.

[@abelmantor2449]

[@rayraydundaddi]

Rocko & Heffer ❤

[@dragonfiremystics5296]

Does anyone remember what movie this appeared on? You know after the movie there was usually a little cartoon that would play.

[@zacmoncrief238]

did you ever find out?

[@ryanmcglade8956]

Plunger Boy's dark side 2:15

[@ZakWolf]

Definitely the best part of the Plunger Boy film!

[@eleanorhogan8643]

I find that bit funny because he starts off cute and sweet but then he gets all angry and scary.

[@cathleenross2126]

Hey I like to say thank you so much for uploading the original version of What a Cartoon, I was wondering if you could do Johnny Bravo next?

[@WhataCartoon]

Thank you, but I cant upload that one nor do I own it.

[@cathleenross2126]

So is all of the What a cartoon videos will be the original verisons?

[@jeremygaal5127]

Heffer Wolfe & Yakko Warner!

[@donlough3928]

HAPPY PHILLIS

[@christhecustomcharacter1409]

Was this a cow and chicken pilot?

[@MrBrando07]

Listening to Godfrey and Zeek's voices, sounds more like a pilot for Rocko's Modern Life

[@abdullahibouraleh6919]

No.

[@dashiedash2789]

Imagine if Rob Paulsen was the voice of rocko instead of Carlos alazraqui mainly because it sounds little a bit Australian

[@terranceaddison4599]

Has nickelodeon or gendy tartovtasky vibes to it I can't put my finger on it. But the voice acting was Great

[@JulesHinmon]

6:27 Why would you need a trophy to be Employee Of The Month when you are the boss and can just keep the remote and make yourself Employee Of The Month anyway?

He scary me

[@durece100]

Who?

[@jaxcrosslane]

I remember watching this show as a kid. Now that I understand how this world works, I can tell that they was trying to brain wash us from our youth.

[@SerAbiotico]

How so?

[@okamijubei]

Pretty original, a giraffe's name is Godfrey.

[@BernyjackStone]

what a cartoon with the animals are the best and better than dexter's laboratory dat is a total bullshit

[@sawekszyper6919]

For @galaxyphonetehspartan805 (Remake) Zeek: Television Is Our Magical Window To The World Sparta Madhouse Remix (Marcelo Edition)

[@likeanyonecaresabouthandles]

Can you upload HD versions of Swamp & Tad and/or Short Pfuse? Swamp & Tad was on Johnny Quest: The Darkest Fathoms VHS, while Short Pfuse was on The Town That Santa Forgot VHS. You've done a nice job with Yoink Of The Yukon and this one!

[@WhataCartoon]

+Brad Spector Thank you! It means a lot to me that you enjoy them and think so! I REALLY wish I could upload Swamp and Tad and Pfish and Chip, but I don't have those VHS's at this time. However, I think I'll be ordering that Jonny Quest VHS, so look out for me uploading that one! I'm an original What a Cartoon! enthusiast (obviously) so I'm always watching out for lost originals and uploading the ones I have and ones I find elsewhere.
