Its such a sweet show. Anyone else would depict Sumo as a idiot and his father abusive, but they didn't make them that way, they are smart and resourceful. Jeff definitely has OCD, and they show the truggle of it. He hangs out with kids who probably have ADHD which must be a nightmare. They showed kids with can't keep up with the others without makingthem seem lesser, they showed people who aren't perfect parents without making them awful. Clarence is a character without a dad, and they don't make him sad. He says "I don't have a dad but I have a Chad" It's so sweet. This show is so good, it depicts odd situations in a positive light.

Clarence is one of those shows that genuinely make me feel like a kid again.

[@arielglr7177]

I'll say this, if Clarence was released before 2010 it would have been considered one of the best cartoons of CN, but when it initially aired people wanted family cartoons to have unnecessary big plots, you can see this with the firsts pair of seasons of Adventure time, it started as a silly cartoon until they began to put major lore into it

The funny thing is that, I actually remember in 2000 when I was 4 years old. And I thought I saw a Clarence cartoon that aired on Fox kids in 1991.

[@okjeffy6581]

The cartoon kind of looked different. Sumo was much taller, there were a bunch of other characters which were toys, Jeff also had a different voice actor, the format was 4:3, (Because hd tvs weren't common back then) chad had a blue polo tshìrt and black pants with brown belt, there were so many differences, most characters didn't exist, clarence was much shorter, and most characters voices were different.

[@jesus9472]

[@okjeffy6581]

@Wormboy no, im being serious. My Mom also wondered why it wasn't on all the time. It was usually broadcast on tv at least once a week. I dont know if it was a fever dream I had, or maybe I got it confused with another character from another fox kids cartoon. Whats Scary was that there is no Wikipedia page.

That’s the different between a show that is just checking off diversity boxes and one that just wants to write those character

[@princesspeachfan100]

Because back then nobody really cared about that sort of stuff in cartoons, (and honestly I really wish it could’ve stayed that way), now ever since SU the cartoons when crazy with that… It’s like who cares if this one’s this and the other one’s that? People go crazy for that sort of stuff now because it’s almost everywhere for cartoons ever since… Remember cartoons were just CARTOONS?

[@spookysoup1319]

because people like to see themselves in characters, like i am far more likely to read a good book if i know it has queer characters because it is relatable to me. i understand you're probably a kid writing this comment but being queer is something people will punish others for, or worse, so seeing it represented as something normal, even celebrated, is a very nice thing

I remember my dad liking it a lot, strangely enough. I was a teenager but we’d flip through channels at dinner time when I was in high school & land on it. He liked it because he said it was like “Ed Edd n Eddy in the modern day”, and we both watched that together when I was a kid & loved it. Now that my dad’s gone, I wish that I watched more of it with him. I’m glad he was able to take something special from it.

[@Sloth_Guy_Alex]

If clarence had Lore people would've loved it because nowadays if a cartoon doesn't have a story it automatically sucks. Spongebob doesn't have a story, but he's loved as always, gumball didn't have a story until like the last seasons but people still loved gumball. Do you ever think why everyone likes craig of the creek so much? Lore, story, even tho it's very similar to Clarence. I love Clarence and uncle grandpa and idk why they were hated. They showed that not every cartoon needs to have lore to appeal to the audience. Audience? You mean kids? Kids don't care about the lore and stuff because they don't always watch tv and they don't know what a streaming platform is. They think that when they miss an episode of their series on tv, they're just going to wait for the rerun and if they don't, well they just don't watch the episode and go on with the story. But that doesn't happen with Clarence because every episode is fresh and not repeating

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Clarence probably doesn't need a lore unless if there's a mystery around Aberdale, like some kind of murder mystery type.

@Captain Bruh i wouldn’t say it was horrendous, but it definitely wasn’t a favorite. i totally agree with you, though.

[@jasonhaiad]

im pretty glad people can see how underrated it was now, that era of cartoon network is possibly my favourite

[@gingeralebean5375]

I remember really liking this show. It’s very grounded, and realistic. The characters are all clearly stereotypes, but still very fleshed out and characteristically put together in realistic and less dramatic ways than you’d expect in a kids cartoon. For example, Sumo is very clearly poor, and somewhat neglected by his rough and disengaged family. And due to that, he is the rough, tough, lesser-hygienic and sometimes batshit crazy child in the friend group. But the show never has to directly explain that to anyone. If you know, you know. And that’s all the show gives you. It’s very subtle and I remember when watching the show as a tween, it felt pretty personal and each little adventure the kids would go on would remind me of real life events of my own childhood that I used to enjoy. It was a really great show in my eyes.

[@dxgaming4200]

The fact that the creators decided to have families going through poverty in the show was very relatable to me as a little kid.

[@ravenlordgoat2157]

I remember that when this was airing, I was starting to feel really jaded towards kids animation, hating the newer shows like "Breadwinners" and "Teen Titans Go." I didn't feel that way for this show, though. It was one of the only ones I actually remember not hating.

[@what6893]

This show was a big part of my childhood. I cried when it ended... And the credits song makes me so nostalgic.

[@violet1719]

I love Clarence so much. It’s the only cartoon that I’ve seen that really represents growing up in lower middle class. Clarence is a fun kid, who still actually acts like a child compared to other cartoon children in other shows.

[@okjeffy6581]

But I remember in a 1991-1998 series that aired on Fox Kids, (and I know that there not actually be one, but I remember it very well. Hell, or it maybe was just a fever dream that took place in my early childhood) Clarence was portrayed as a nice and smart, sometimes dull and mean character. His voice was much more different, his appearance was much more shorter, his shirt was fully green, and he kind of had a look that resembled garfield the cat. I don't know if it was real, or maybe it was just a weird fever dream if mines.

Personally I consider Clarence along with Ben 10, Samurai Jack, Adventure Time and Gumball as one of the most important shows to ever come out of Cartoon Network. Though unlike those shows, what makes Clarence so different and unique was that it was a show that was trying to be its own thing without being so loud and complex. I mean it did have it’s gross moments but the stories were laid back and it took slice of life ideas and nostalgic moments in our life while also reminding us why we didn’t understand what made the world work, weither it be pretending, the best of a bad situation, trying new things, dealing with poverty to just learning about romance. It’s just an accurate representation of childhood. Man take me back to the years of 2013-2015

I dont understand why cartoons have to be a masterpiece when they're literally made for small children

[@beanjuice3568]

You'd think that be so simple to understand, but here we are, surrounded by a bunch of people presenting their criticism on it

[@mat2468xk]

I think it's silly that some people criticize children's cartoons like they're Evangelion or something. But at the same time, I kind of sympathize with their point. SpongeBob and so many other animated shows manage to be appealing to adults while being a kids' show. And that's pretty much always a good thing, I guess. I see your point. Never really cared about TTG but people always say they hate that show as if it's some sort of unpopular opinion.

[@embracethememe4888]

@Illumurian define quality? What a child thinks is quality is much different to an adult

[@night-seeker666]

@@mat2468xk Well, people treat it like an unpopular opinion because of people who use the excuse that it's a kids show and we should be soft on it. Shows like early Spongebob and Transformers Prime are excellent examples of having moments that kids will enjoy and adults will understand. Then there are shows like TTG and the early-new Spongebob episodes (the newer ones are getting better) send messages to kids like we should keep our rooms trashed and that it's okay to abandon a city to burn a Wicker Man of the person you left behind and dance on the ashes. We're not gonna leave these cartoons alone. Why? Because we don't like them. If you are against a cartoon I don't like, then that's fine.

Clarence is a lot darker than it is it showes problems with/ having fun with friendship, relationship, trauma, hygiene, family, creative, independence, anxiety, and so many more this show was very heartwarming and really relatable and a reason why its so good. Clarence sees everything something you can build a beautiful thing very spontaneous. and Jeffs control freak and why hes like that sumo with his family relationships and how it reflects on relationship honestly every character has that and its very good written even the background characters very entertaining.

I've actually adored Clarence right from its pilot. Seeing a kid character who is so unapologetically in love with life was just charming, and his demeanor, while yes obnoxious, was quirky and charming. The dynamic between the main trio is great and well-developed, and as you mention the show's continuity, while not being a plot driven show, was fantastic. Also...the people who made this show clearly love their horror movies. There were horror homages, episodes with a surprisingly dark tone, and...everything to do with Gilben. As an adult and a horror fan it made me appreciate the show on another level.

personally, i LOVED clarence when it was airing because it just felt like a more relatable, realistic down to earth show. i'm guessing most people didn't like it because the other shows airing on cartoon network had more aesthetically pleasing art styles and weren't episodic unlike clarence. i honestly don't get why it was hated, but i can see its flaws and weaknesses. overall, it's a great show imo and really underrated.

[@xoolti7781]

i 100% agree with yu here, i always come back to watching this show because it's also a comfort and just uniquely written if that makes sense. it has a good mood vibe in every episode, even in ones that are horror or more mellow themed. it doesn't progress or build up the characters growing up and such, it instead just focuses on the fun of childhood while keeping a realistic and relatable tone just like yu stated. which is the whole show's point and one of the things LS mark said in the video. a lot of people probably judged clarence from it's cover, or from other reasons.

I remember being a kid and watching it when it first came on, when we still had cable. Soon after we got Roku, and it left my mind.

I’m probably going to watch it again, because I did really like it.
