Why You Barely Remember Yakkity Yak

The early 2000's brought us a lot of cartoons that unfortunately didn't last too long, becoming a weird or obscure memory you hold on to for the rest of your life. That's the case here with Yakkity Yak, a show left forgotten by time only remembered by its theme song! So, here's why you barely remember Yakkity Yak!

[@JordanFringe94]

What other obscure cartoons or shows can you barely remember but never forgot? (Also, I know the theme song is based off the original song by The Coasters, part of why this theme song is so memorable).

[@ThePrimo80s]

Jonny Quest and Thundarr the barbarian. Hardly anyone remembers these two. Well people who I talk to any how. 🤣

[@eatatjoes6751]

The Xs and the Buzz on Maggie. The Xs is a work of irony considering it ended up becoming obscure, and the BOM had terrible execution but a good concept.

[@ianstratton]

This show seems like it only exists because Nickelodeon got the licensing rights to The Coasters song Yakkety Yak and built an entire show solely around that....

[@eatatjoes6751]

That's probably what happened and frankly, I'd rather have that than Baby Shark.

[@4daptability991]

Fun fact: the theme song was actually written by The Coasters in 1959. I remember this from reading _The Watsons Go to Birmingham_ in the seventh grade, because it's Kenny's favorite song. I used it in a project where I had to create a soundtrack for a hypothetical movie adaptation. I don't know if it's because of the show or because the teacher played it in class, but I nicknamed my friend, Zak "Yakitty Yak." Him not liking the name made it really funny. Edit: Someone beat me to it! Ah well...

That's the exact show that popped up in my head when he was wrapping up the video. There's such vague memories and stuff I remembered wrong about the show.

The secret show 😭

[@DTFauxClassic]

An interesting note about Corneil & Bernie: Even though it originally aired and ended in the 00s, they were actually renewed for a second season, which aired around 2014. The bad news was that they *seriously* cut corners going from traditional frame-by-frame, to being Flash animated. It was surprisingly faithful in style and tone, but a lot of the charm was lost in its animation. If you're ever looking for a nostalgia trip, or curious about the new episodes, both seasons have been officially uploaded to KZbin for free viewing.

(Compared to most Nicktoons, Angry beavers seemed much more family friendly). My childhood was mostly all cartoons, but my favorite channel as a kid was the Qubo channel. If you didn't have the Qubo channel as a kid, I am so so sorry! As awesome as the Nickelodeon cartoons were, nothing stuck out to me more than shows like Marvin the Tap-dancing Horse, Gofrette, and Scaredy Squirrel.

Might as well throw in a comment about an obscure mid-2000's cartoon I remember but seemingly nobody else did: Pecola! It was on playing on Cartoon Network in like '04, and I remember it came on early in the morning right after Adult Swim ended. It was a 3d animated show where the main character is a penguin, and everyone had cube-shaped heads. I loved watching it before I got ready for school, but it was taken off the air rather quickly from what I remember. Edit to add bc I actually want to add two more: Zatch Bell, and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Both were on Cartoon Network around '05-'06. Me and my sister loved them, none of our friends watched either though. Those shows were a trip

I remember a few shows that my sisters have no memory of. Growing Up Creepie, Grossology, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Dave the Barbarian, Catscratch, Martin Mystery, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Lloyd in Space, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Mucha Lucha, Tutenstein, Jojo's Circus, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, Rocket Power and My Dad's a Rockstar. Any time I tried to talk to them about any of these cartoons they just look at me with a blank face. They really have no memory of any of these shows even though I remember watching these with them.

Funnily enough, Yakity Yak is probably the only show out of all of these I don't remember at all (well, and Martin Mystery)

[@pomponi0]

You nailed it. I barely remember this cartoon, although the setting and characters feel incredibly familiar. It also makes me feel nostalgic. Not for the show itself, but the early 2000s, when there were dozens of new cartoons competing against each other and most were at the very least somewhat entertaining. Now, remember Yvon of the Yukon? That one was unpleasant to watch and it came out around the same time, I believe.

I wonder if he will review a show from YTV in the future.

I remember coming home from school to watch this on Nickelodeon in like 2003 when it first came out when I was a kid. I also remember one of my teachers telling us before going to lunch not to talk in the halls making all that yakkity yak and me and my friend who watched the show just looked at each other and laughed

I remembered watching Yakkity Yak as a kid I liked the characters and animation but I’m sad it only had one season

I remember watching Yakkity Yak on Nickelodeon when it was airing there which is why I never bothered to revisit it, my memory of it is the killer theme song & this dream I had one time when I was in middle school where I ran into Mr. Highpants in a dark alleyway so yeah, I just never wanted to go back & rewatch this one, remembering it exists is good enough for me. As for shows that did make its way over to Nick that are obscure & people should actually go back & re-watch or watch for the first time, I highly recommend Pelswick. It was a show I did watch when it was new to Nickelodeon but it was always my there's nothing good on so I'll watch this series. As a kid, I didn't hate or love it, it was just there & was fine for a watch but holy cow, it's a totally different story watching again as an adult because you actually get the stuff in this series. It says a lot of stuff that I wish people weren't too afraid to say. I always tell people to watch the episode Draw, that's a good example of what you can expect from this series. Pelswick is a hidden gem that I wish people would talk about more. Totally dig deep back into those obscure shows, I'd totally love to hear more people talk about My Dad the Rock Star or Corneil & Bernie because nobody touches on those series it feels like. Maybe it's just me who wants to hear people talk about more obscure shows from the early to mid 2000's but I'm super happy to see someone talk about Yakkity Yak because it hit huge within the kids at my school at least & then fell off the face of the planet, it's like with Teacher's Pet, super popular show when it was running but now most people forgot it exists.

I still love this show and I still watch it sometimes. I was obsessed with this show as a kid and I had a crush on Yakkity.

[@JordanFringe94]

Truly appreciate that, thank you so much! :D

[@brendanoriega9903]

I totally forgot about this but as soon as I saw the thumbnail instant memories came back!

[@roachaximus5899]

I remember the song more than the show, it randomly pops up in my mind tp this day

[@MICHA3L216]

2:32 thank you for reminding me of this sonic animation i haven't seen in 10 years

[@tacksgmvs2070]

I do remember this show a little. In a way it kind of reminded me of Catscratch, except I liked Catscratch better.

[@JordanFringe94]

Good ol catscratch haha will cover that eventually

[@deanmoriarty6015]

the theme song and the theme song only has been stuck in my head for my entire life

[@Homodemon]

You damn right, I barely remember it and I was one of the few kids who actually watched the show every afternoon back then.
