I'd say it's a lot better known that most of the shows on this list except for [sp]Robot Jones and Evil Con Carne[/sp]. The former definitely shouldn't of been so high up in the list.
i wasnt aware jimmy neutron was an obscure cartoon, or evil con carne, considering it shared a timeslot with the grimm adventures of bill and mandy, which is definitely known.

Certainly not obscure is it? At least among cartoon nerds
Well to be fair as someone who grew up and saw most of the cartoons in the video, half of these aren't really obscure to me either so I suppose I may have a different view of obscure in terms of childhood cartoons than others. I never really thought about it I suppose, but there are quite a few shows that I watched as a kid on live tv that would be pretty damn obscure now since they haven't ran in years probably. Especially the original Adult Swim stuff where you may see one old rerun every few months on like a 3am on a Sunday.
What's bizarre about that princess Natasha it showed up in Australia much later and even for the time it was created, it was very late for the AOL Hype.
[QUOTE=Nautsabes;51992107]i wasnt aware jimmy neutron was an obscure cartoon[/QUOTE]
I don't think he said anything about it being obscure, just using it as an example of something Oedekerk had done that was more widely known, akin to his usage of Kung Pow.
I wonder how many folks remember shows like Sheep in the Big City, Chop Socky Chooks, Cramp Twins, Robotboy, Fat Dog Mendoza, Spaced Out, the original British version of Skatoony or even the briefly shown Amazing Adrenalini Brothers. Heck, even Class of 3000 or Pirates of Dark Water.
Glad I'm not the only one who remembers Grim & Evil
I actually recognize almost everything on this list. Moxxy and the thumb stuff were the only things I didn't know at all.
I still remember when Robot Jones had that old MacInTalk voice. Humanizing the voice kinda defeated the purpose.

Its a running gag, slipping in zone-tan stuff and shit.
Man what the hell was that terrible American adaptation for Pili
The main reason Pili is successful in Taiwan is the eastern culture (namely the culture around Wuxia and Xianxia novels)
Take those elements out and you ruin the show completely, so even if it wasn't cheesily and poorly done it'd have no place in america.
Who knows, maybe we're ready for another, unadapted attempt. Xianxia and Xiuzhen novels are becoming increasingly popular worldwide nowadays.
Grim & Evil was my jam. Shame they didn't create a series based off of Evil.
Edit: I just looked it up, they did. Probably never aired in Canada.
That fucking marionette show, I remember seeing it once and it was around the time they had a butchered Saint Seiya too. Didn't know that the guy voiced by Sean Schemmel, aka Goku, was never even originally voiced - or that it was actually a popular series overseas. :v:
i remember all the shorts for the wedgie segment
So 30 years of this?

That's probably from Thunderbolt Fantasy: Tōriken Kōki, which was a co-op effort between Pili Co. in Taiwan and Urobuchi, director of Madoka and the Fate/Zero anime.
Hell yeah, Sunday Pants, Grim & Evil, and Robot Jones were some of the ones that stuck out the most to me in this video.
I also noticed that the video showed 1 or 2 seconds of The Imp, which I didn't even realize was on Cartoon Network.
Here's a random video from the YouTube channel that archived the shorts:

I skipped through the video thinking he wouldn't bring up the What a Cartoon Show. Thank goodness I wasn't disappointed.
I remember Thumb Wars from the 2008 Clone Wars premiere lmao. Also those Wedgies, I remember those.

also I remember at one point when I was young, years before Avatar the Last Airbender ever aired, getting up late one night and putting on the TV. It had to have been Cartoon Network, and I didn't stay up long - and I don't remember specifically what I saw but years later after Avatar had started there was a scene in Book 2 that just like hit all those tickboxes and it all came rushing back. One of the scenes with King Bumi.
It obviously couldn't have been Avatar since that wasn't even out yet, but it must have been some anime with just a similar scene.
Steve Oedekerk is such a bizarre filmmaker. I remember finding his thumb films by typing random words into the URL bar into whatever internet browser i was using at the time.
Kung Pow was great though.
Pan's number ten on broadcasting glitches reminded me of this time several years ago I was getting ready for school and saw my mom had left the TV on and it was showing this old black and white silent film. I only remember someone rowing a boat with frantic music playing, and I couldn't find the remote to figure out what movie it was. It probably wasn't a broadcasting error my mom likely just had the TV on HBO or something but it was a similar scenario to Pan's.
It was pretty funny that General Skarr moved to Endsville in the later seasons of Billy And Mandy

I had something similar.
Some years ago, when i was still a kid, i was just flipping channels. During that, i saw some cartoon on RTP2, (i was living in portugal before) and all i remembered was the kid floating and then got naked or something. Saw it for like 2 or 3 seconds and then i continued flipping channels and, minutes later, i wanted to know what the hell was that so i came back to the channel and it's now showing Noddy.
I was late.
I actually remember watching a bit of The Moxy Show back when i was little, shame not much of it exists on the internet.
Also holy shit that americanized version of Pili was godawful. it may be on par with Doogal, that movie Pan reviewed awhile back.
missing neds newt, fat dog mendoza and spaced out.
Fuck. I forgot about those wedgies shorts. Nacho Bear, B.A.E, and Agent Cat was my jam. Mr. Bigsby also introduced me to the "Try checking your blinker fluid" joke that I still reference to this day.
I remember Australian ABC used to show Princess Natasha all the time alongside the show @ 16:15 (I think it was called The Zambini Brothers or something).
