What does /co/ think about KaBlam!?

>>90149645
it's kablawesome. I've been rewatching it lately. shit holds up fantastically. It was genuinely 90s-pleasant without going so far that it became embarrassing (mmmmost of the time)
it's just a shame that unlike, say, Oh Yeah! Cartoons or What A Cartoon, the one-offs they showcased never became anything. not a single one.
Action League Now! got to spin off, but it only got one actual new episode, so that barely counts.

it's actually surprising how many really hip and with-it jokes they had. it felt a lot like the recent MAD cartoon, no surprise the same guy made it.

P+B is so amusing and yet so boring at the same time. I have to be in exactly the right mood to enjoy it, and I'm usually not in that mood while watching KaBlam!

hey you know what I found out though? Life with Loopy's puppets had magnetic faces, with the features painted on metal plates so they could move around. that's pretty tits in my opinion

>reminder that Nickelodeon aired a cartoon with a character named Sniz
I miss the time before execs could search words on the internet.

>that time henry and june straight up went skinny dipping
>but in the next shot june visibly had her undershirt on
>then it was off again
i'm thinking that was a last minute edit, mark..

>>90150702
Was the Angela Anaconda from somewhere else?

Action League Now was hilarious

Life with Luppy was terrible

everything else was mediocre

I wish Sniz & Fondue and The Offbeats got their own full series.

The creator of Henry and June uploaded every episode of KaBlam! (including the lost episodes and the pilot to "The Henry and June Show") to his website.

I thought this one-shot was cute.

>>90151345
The creator of Life With Loopy had a short-lived show called Phantom Investigators for Kids WB! It's pretty neat. A mix of stop motion, puppets and live action (the ghosts are filmed in live action)

oh good point, angela anaconda did spin off, and that was a one-off.

>>90153954

>token black girl is a dj

>>90153920
that and jetcat and offbeats were probably my favorite.

>yeah but in fucking quicktime or whatever
Just download it then.

>>90153954
oh man I forgot all about this... i don't think at the time I recognized it, and I certainly didn't give it much of a shot.. i like the girl, i like the phrase 'spectre detector', but the rest.. bleh

>>90154061
it'll still be in quicktime's format or whatever. vlc can run it but not very well. some of the episodes are really janky
it's okay, i still appreciate what he did, but kablam's also on watchcartoononline so i'm checkin it out there.

This was one of my favorite Nickelodeon programs. They had a particularly funny segment about retarded superhero dolls and action figures failing at everything and generally being a nuisance.

This was it!

>>90154348
What porn?

>Henry's VA is Dode from Brick.

Weird.

>>90153920
What was the name of this short again?

It was where CARTOONS AND COMICS COLLIDE which means it's basically as /co/ related as you can get. Also that skank-ass ska soundtrack was phenomenal and it's no exaggeration that the show got me into ska music when I was a youngin'.

'Tweren't the highest quality, but it's definitely this comfy kind of experimental and weird. It was like an Adult Swim show for kids.

>>90149645
Had direct tv, so I was able to watch it again 3 hours later on Nick West.
>>90156412
Anemia and Iodine

>>90155696
Meltman was one of my favorites.

Remember the episode where Henry and June were dressed as astronauts, and June pissed herself because she didn't realize their space suits were just Halloween costumes?

>>90153840
You did not just diss Prometheus and Bob.

>>90159865
It straddled the line between hilarious and unsettling so thinly for me. Especially with Bob's constant whelps of pain.

>>90149645
God damn it, Mickey! You're fired!

>>90157721
That one where he points out how much they all suck. Or where the flesh gets amnesia. The shorts were better than the spin-off. It might have been better if they did a second half as a different show or two, like the old Hanna Barbera shows.

>>90158317
scene?

so weird to think this show is 20 goddamn years old

>>90155729
there's a little here and there
>>90156613
someone needs to do some kind of parody where they're now living in a porn comic and hosting other people's short porn comics and cartoons, turning the page and all that..

>>90158317
What's really funny about that is for years I remembered it being Henry, because (and I wasn't concious of this yet) it felt like no cartoon would ever allow a girl to make a mistake or be humiliated at all.

go tell yer mammy, there's more kablammy

>>90156824
>Anemia and Iodine

Thanks mate.

>>90155360
even weirder she's a catgirl but there's also a cat in that cartoon.
also it was cute as fuck

>>90150754
Prometheus always creeped me out as a kid.

>>90149645
forgotten gem, srsly, loved that so much


... it holds up really well actually

>>90166242
there were just a few really comfy moments, totally weekend-dad-visit grab a sundae and sit and watch moments on Nick back then.. kablam, and before that Snick.. plus shit like early Toonami and cartoon planet on CN.

I remember someone telling me Henry and June were characters from an erotic novel/film.

I guess it was true.

>>90158317

Birth of a fetish

Henry and June were my first ship. Probably gave me a mild fetish for bro-tier tomboys.

>>90166927
would that be 'Benny and Joon' ?
>>90168360
son that's no fetish, that's called being straight. people who think femininity is about ribbons and flamboyancy are.. well, let's say confused.

>>90150754
Oh man I remember watching entire episodes just so I could get to the phrometeus and Bob shorts
Couldn't care about anything else, cartoons were OK and the puppet show about the kid and his sister too I guess, the super hero toy show sucked

>>90160093
Bob wasn't the one getting hurt dumbass, it was the alien
Bob just spoke that way because he couldn't communicate

>>90168790
yeah but when prometheus got hurt it was funny
but when bob got hurt, which was often (but not as often) you just felt bad for the poor bald rickety retard.

>>90169000
Bob didn't get hurt in most episodes and when he did it was entirely mild compared with Prometheus
Maybe you were just a little faggy kid and grew up to become a full blown faggot. Ever considered that?

I also thought June was a lesbian lol

>>90169063
not even that first guy, he was just disturbing, dude,. i'm pretty sure he was meant to be.
it's like i love watching Frank Moore's crazy experimental art film shit on vimeo, but every time the palsy-ass motherfucker 'talks' it creeps me the fuck out. it's just visceral

>>90169123
i'm pretty sure she had a crush on JTT like all girls in the late 90s

>>90152045
What does Sniz mean? Google's just telling me it means a sneeze that doesn't finish or something like that.

>>90155696
Were all of these figures custom made or did they take some off the shelf and modify them?

>>90156613
>ska soundtrack

It wasn't just Kablam that had this on Nick. What was with 90s/early 00s Nick and ska? Not dissing ska, just wondering who at Nick decided "This is what every show needs to have"

>>90169233
do you have safesearch on or something? because that's like, result four, and results 1-3 and 5-forever are 'vag'
didnt you see the south park episode 'snuke' when hillary clinton had a suitcase nuke in her sniz?
>>90169302
theyre mods. the flesh is an old conan the adventurer figure, thunder girl's head is from a barbie competitor, the body is supposedly a heavily modified she-ra but I don't buy it. wrong scale, way too many joints. stinky diver is a GI joe diver, I don't know those guys, and.. I assume Meltman used to be something before being melted

>>90169343
it was seen as harmless, easily licensed, no lyrics to worry about, and gets everyone pumped up. plus they didnt wanna be left behind on another fad

>>90169353
Safe search is off. Maybe it's just Google giving us different results because we live in different areas. And I don't watch South Park so no.

>>90169370
Nick is the only place I remember having ska on TV back then.

>>90169424
don't forget Mission Hill, basically THE show of the year 2000

I'M A CARTOON CRAMMER
AND I LOVE TO KABLAM

>>90169726
manwhen this show was on I had just started to kablam. Good times.

Just to bump, here's episode 1 guys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRFfAtzoxR4

>>90170781
>aliens attacking DC

Couldn't do that any more.

>>90155696
imagine actually having to go outside in the 90s with a camera and a handful of action figures because it's your job to record them doing weird and funny shit around your neighborhood/town.

that first episode is specially impressive with how much work it must have taken with the car and the litter.

>male and female leads
>the female lead is not constantly shitting on the male lead
what is this strange world

>>90169176
No
He was meant to be uncanny because everything was supposed to since that was the style
If wasn't creepy at all tho it's just you
Probably being the first cartoon you saw with no music or dialogue didn't help

>>90171296
She totally does tho

>>90170781
Wow, I never noticed that you could understand what Prometheus is saying. All this time I thought it was just random electronic sounds.

>june hits henry with her ass, then proceeds to shake said ass, making a sound like a bowl of water sloshing
a more innocent time
>>90171143
right? chuckimation looked like a lot of work. Especially having to make all the broken versions of them still look consistent. In real life action figures are too resilient to break in amusing ways. Apparently the voices were done by local radio personalities

>>90171426
man i dunno, consonantless moaning is creepy to me.
>>90171534
it's.. roughly a 2 to 1 ratio of henry and june respectively getting shat on. That's pretty good.

>>90171780
It's weird how despite the crummy quality of the ripped files, somehow we just all had much worse sound from old TVs. or maybe it was our ears. I never used to be able to understand squat, I needed captioning. Part of it's vocabulary I think, when every tenth word is outside your sphere, you just get used to it.
I recall a Rugrats episode where the response to "can you make a key for that lock?" was "double-bolt or single?" and I heard it as intentional tech gibberish like 'double builder thingo'. the fact that half the shit they said on that show was gibberish led me astray.

>>90171534
but it's like "lol i trol u" pranks and bantz

you just know one of them is going to say "wanna fuck?" one of these days.

I love how the action league characters didn't remotely care about scale, they were all different sizes, some drove toy cars while others drive real ones.. and the musem of modern art was the refrigerator with kids' drawings on it.

>>90172005
I see it more like June nonchalantly asking Henry if he needs to jerk off after they watch a saucier European cartoon together, and telling him he doesn't have to leave the room. Then it just progresses from there. They probably never even vocally acknowledge what they're doing, it's just friends hanging out... inside each other.

>>90172045
>childhood friends imperceptibly turning into lovers
it's nice to dream

>>90170781
The Off-Beats seems like a Peanuts ripoff.

>>90172102
>childhood friends
god that would have been nice.
>>90172446
except everyone is either charlie brown or lucy so it's not as needlessly cruel to just one poor misfit.

>>90153920
Looks like Joe Murray.

>>90174532
what else did he do?
the kid with the cat ghost was so cute

Is there even a good torrent for this series? I remember looking a few years ago and finding nothing

>>90177931
torrent schmorrent. It's on watchcartoononline and in much lower quality on mark marek's website. What more could you ask for? It's not as if a torrent is going to make an old crudely-made 90s tv show suddenly HD. just stream the shit.

>>90178064
I just prefer torrents so I can have copies on my hard drive when I'm away from wifi

>>90178255
ah yeah that i get
but anyone savvy enough to torrent would surely know a way to rip flash or html5 videos from streaming sites, wouldnt they?

Love it. Henry and June sketches were my favorite part desu.

>>90178750
it's funny, they used to be my least favorite, but now i appreciate them way more than wacky short cartoons

can't get the damn ska out of my head

I always thought June was a boy for the longest time.

june's voice did things to my ten year old dick

what is her VA up to now?

>>90169343
Ska was really trendy for five minutes in the late 90s. No Doubt actually started as a ska band. And remember, the cool music Andy and Jim were into on Mission Hill was ska.

>>90149645
It was the shit

>>90149645
i loved this show i shoul rewatch it

>>90176447
Joe Murray did Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo. I meant that short cartoon is done in a similar style.

>>90183930
Apparently not much looking at her wikipedia page.

>>90183289
so weird how often we hear that
>>90183930
I like how it was basically the same voice she used for Helga but ... just the chill attitude made her so much hotter

>>90187847
wait, did joe murray draw the bug trio then? I thought that was povenmire's art style

>>90154250
And nothing like it will EVER BE MAAADE UH-GAAANE.
