Favorite shows within a show

[zoombie]

What are you favorite fictional cartoon shows that excist within a real cartoon?

Sometimes did you ever wish they did real episodes on these fictional shows?

Itchy And Scratchy show (The Simpsons) it had some funny stuff, including the one when Itchy was dressed in drag on a beach.

Buddy Bears (Garfield and Friends) they annoyed Garfield, and it was just so funny how they annoyed him.

Fatheads (Rocko's Modern Life) I really don't know. I just found them entertaining.

Muddy Mudskipper show (Ren and Stimpy show) I liked it best for the theme song. It was a catchy jingle. Plus Muddy's old school attitude with the catchphraise "You lousy bum." But it was mostly the theme song. I have never forgotten to that song.

Those of what that come to mind at this moment.

[DarthGonzo]

Lets remember to explain why we like things. List thread rules and all that.

I liked the Fatheads cartoon from Rocko, primarily for the theme song.

[tb4000]

The Crimson Chin, which was a comic and a tv series on FOP. Mostly for Jay Leno having no problem constantly reprising the role. Plus it was a decent parody of Batman/Daredevil.

[zoombie]

I loved the Crimson Chin, I don't know if he counted because he was a comic book characters, not cartoon character.

May I also had his rival Crash Nebula.

Here is a pereference I have for this list. I prefer we list cartoon shows within the show. Shows that are considered cartoons in this fictional shows. Not shows that are live action in these fictional shows like Krusty the Clown, who is a cartoon to us, but in the Simpsons he is live action.

[Golgo13]

You can't forget The Fatheads and, more importantly, Wacky Delly from Rocko's Modern Life.

[Annie-Mae]

A couple of the short bits they did on Family Guy
Dagermouth and Boom Boom, Sherry and the Anus, 2 and 1/2 men

Then Terrence and Philip from South Park and Stimpy's Cartoon

[Radical]

My favorite cartoons that excist within a real cartoon are:

Itchy & Scratchy(Simpsons) - My most favorite which is the best Tom & Jerry copy which is more hilarious along with bloody violence/massacre which Itchy is more badder than Jerry on bashing on poor Scratchy like with Tom with the violent/sadistic/gory stuff.

The Squishy Bears(Eek! the Cat) - I love those bears which they're funny which they're a parody of the CareBears which even Pierre the green bear is like Grumpy the CareBear & that part when they were being Boyz II Men called Bearz II Men was hilarious.

The Fatheads(Rocko's Modern Life) - They were both funny & disgusting cartoon characters which has its popularity created by Ralph Bighead.

The Muddy Mudskipper Show(Ren & Stimpy) - It's Stimpy's favorite cartoon show which Muddy Mudskipper was funny for being a mean jerkoff fish on Stimpy much like Ren.

Terrance & Phillip/Chinpokomon/Russell Crowe Show(South Park) - I love Terrance & Phillip were they're pretty funny Canadians with their fart jokes & their episode when they split apart was the best & Chinpokomon was an interesting Pokemon parody with the weird creatures along with an Ash/Team Rocket copy with the selling merchandise brainwashing the kids from the Japanese was funny which is also my favorite episode & the Russell Crow show is funny when he beats people up & his ship committing suicide.

Immature Radioactive Samurai Slugs(Tiny Toon Adventures) - It was a funny cartoon parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dealing with mutant martial artist slugs saving the world along with the Iodizer who's a cool & funny supervillain with Hamton & Plucky being the slugs which is my favorite episode ever.

Plunger Boy(What-a-Cartoon Show:Godfrey & Zeek in "Lost Control") - I thought that cartoon was kind of funny with Plunger Boy going scary/psycho over a do-not-touch rule.

The Crimson Chin(Fairly Oddparents) - He's a pretty funny superhero who's a parody of Batman/Daredevil and the dumb/wacky supervillains were interesting like the Bronze Kneecap & Crimson Chin's evil twin & it's Jay Leno's best VA role ever.

Action Kamen(Crayon Shin-chan) - He's Shin-chan's favorite superhero which he's cool & funny when he beats those supervillains & used Penny's mom's bunny-bashing move which was funny.

[Leviathan]

Does My Black Son (from Family Guy) count, even if it's just an intro?

Other than that Invader Zim's Scary Monkey Show is work a chuckle for sheer stupidity.

[Net1360]

"My Mother & Me", a parody of "The Parkers" (1999-2004) seen briefly on The Proud Family as only a title card on TV.

[Chris Johnston]

Does Tek Jansen count, despite being within a live-action program?

[Frank Castle]

"Coming Attractions"- The Critic

It's funny how most of the parody movie sequels are better than the actual movie sequels that were made after the shows demise.

[DrTooth]

Here are some of my favorites:

Cheat Commandos- I'm guessing this counts. A hillarious send up of every single 1980's cartoon ever made, most noticably G.I. Joe (and contains special elements of various others, the character of Crackotage contains elements of Wordsworth from heathcliff, noticably the rhyming and headphones). And let's not forget the parody celebrity voice Gunhaver, Crack Stuntman.

Captain Courage of the Cosmos- In one of my favorite episodes of Ducktales, the nephews and Doofus are completely spellbound by a cheap, pathetic Sci Fi show, and it's fake hero, Captain Courage. Launchpad, however, despises it.

Bionic Bunny/ Dark Bunny- I always liked the random super Heor shows kids watched while watching them in their series. Bionic Bunny is just one of them. Dark Bunny, however, is a pretty decent send up of Batman TAS (especially the theme song).

Channel DDD- I epecially love the King DDD of the Stars cartoon. One of my favorite episodes. And the sequal, where they hire dorks to animate a new episode for them, and wind up getting Tiff Hentai.

Action Kamen- the only thing I truely like about the US production of Crayon Shin-Chan is the name change of this character. But other than that, a great sentai warrior send up. ACTION BEEEAM!

Slappy Squirrel Cartoons- No. not those ones. The ones she filmed in her glory days that you rarely get to see. And when you do, they get cut off by Wacky Snacks commercials.

Binky the Clown- "If you don't do jumping jacks with Binky, you'll grow up to be WORTHLESS!" Need I say more?

I also like a lot of others mentioned. Terrance and Phillip, Krusty the Klown, Itchy and Scrathy, Crimson Chin, Muddy....

[zoombie]

Here are a couple more addition, technically they are not cartoons shows within a cartoon show, but cartoon movies within a cartoon show. And it is only the individual episode of movie that I liked, not the cartoons themselfs.

Little Poops the movie (Rocko's Modern Life) - a parody of the Smurfs, it was real funny when they got stepped on by Really Really Big Man. To quote Heffer "Not the little Poops."

Dummi Bears In The Land Without Smiles (Rugrats) - a parody of the Care Bears. it was a corny movie, but once you get into the story, it is hard not to want things to work out. I felt that way with the first two Care Bear movies. Just like the adults, I wanted to know if that little girl would pull through. And we never found out if she did, those dam trouble making babies they ruin things for everybody. I agree with Stu "It just isn't fair." LOL

[Kryten]

Nobody's said Wacky Delly?

"I... HATE.... BOLOGNA!"

[Don_East]

Nobody's said Wacky Delly?

"I... HATE.... BOLOGNA!"
It was mentioned at post #5, but yeah, that's a classic.

"I AM THE CHEESE! I AM THE BEST CHARACTER ON THE SHOW! I AM BETTER THAN BOTH THE SALAMI & THE BOLOGNA COMBINED!"

[Kitschensyngk]

"I AM THE CHEESE! I AM THE BEST CHARACTER ON THE SHOW! I AM BETTER THAN BOTH THE SALAMI & THE BOLOGNA COMBINED!"

:lol: That still makes me laugh.

[Harlan_Phoenix]

After finally watching Everybody Loves Hypnotoad today, I'm going to have to go with that. That's just pure genius.

[Rud]

"All my circuits" from futurama, Calculons acting had me on edge every time:D

[Leviathan]

I just remebered South PArk's Fat Abbott. That was probably the first time South PArk did a striaght partody of another cartoon and it worked.

[DarthGonzo]

:lol: That still makes me laugh.

Same here. Rocko's Modern Life's greatest moment.

God, that show needs a DVD release.

[Antiyonder]

I go with Binky The Clown, especially because of his infectius catchphrase, Hey Kids!

My favorite Fatheads moment is when we meet their annoying neighbor Rollo (I think that's how to spell it).

[Anarky]

The Itchy & Scratchy Show- The Simpsons (hilarious homage to Tom & Jerry)
The Krusty the Clown Show- The Simpsons (most unprofessional children's program ever)
Sideshow Bob's Cavalcade of Whimsy- The Simpsons (Bob did win an Emmy)

The Scary Monkey Show- Invader Zim (that ubiquitous simian)
Mysterious Mysteries of Strange Mystery- Invader Zim (cool theme, cool host, and of course...DIB!)

Sick, Sad World- Daria (hilarious headliners)

All My Circuits- Futurama (all the absurdity of soaps...with robots! Calculon is a stud.)
Everybody Loves Hypno-Toad- Futurama
Good Morning Earth- Futurama (I wish we had more hosts like Morbo on the air)
Elzar- Futurama (master of the spice weasel. BAM!)

The Muddy Mudskipper Show- Ren & Stimpy (Ya lousy bumb!)

[Chary Moota]

Wacky Delly from Rocko's and Itchy and Scratchy from The Simspons for sure. Wacky Delly was just so amazing...yeah, you guys already quoted it; I don't think I need to. ;3 I love how in the show, everyone thought it was the best thing ever XD Oh, and Itchy and Scratchy's just a great spoof of Tom and Jerry...hilariously stupid. It never fails to crack Bart/Lisa up.

[Starfire6417]

I think the show ''Rugrats'' would make a good live action movie or tv show.
although on some of tommy's adventures like in the grocery store where his cart flew into that thing of boxes and tommy went into the air and landed on the diapers might not be too save for a baby.

[Darklordavaitor]

Add me on the Wacky Delly train.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but what the hell does this have to do with this topic?

[nwm2112]

How about Los Dias y las Noches de Monsigñor Martínez from King of the Hill? "Vaya con Dios!"

[Lavenderpaw]

The Justice Friends in Dexter's Lab.

[Mattashell]

That post made me think of the Puppet Pals. A cartoon within a cartoon within a cartoon.

There used to be a show called the Brown Hornet on Fat Albert. I used to watch every week to find out what happened, but those cliffhangers never really lined up.

"Puppet Pal Clem, there is a spider in your bed...BONK!"

1) That is off topic, as it has nothing to do with the subject of this thread, as Rugrats was it's own, stand alone show. An example of a show within a show would be Reptar or the Dummi Bears. And,

2) Live action infants with superimposed moving mouths a la Baby Geniuses? No thanks, no thanks.

The Brown Hornet cliffhangers were always completely random and fake. They were never connected to anything. It was just a parody of cliffhanger shows.

How the shell did I forget that one? That clearly is one of my favorite Superhero side shows.

It's funny, because it was originally based on a radio act or stand up act or something that Bill Cosby did. But instead of being a superhero, he was a detective. But the producers of Fat Albert didn't think that could be too exciting, so they changed it to be a corny Space Opera. I admit, I was disappointed that in the Fat Albert movie, he was only mentioned in passing.

[Master Toon]

The Justice Friends (Dexter's Lab)

Action Hank (Dexter's Lab)

The Crimson Chin (Fairly Odd Parents)

The Itchy and Scratchy Show (The Simpsons)

[zoombie]

I hate to continue this off topic discussion, but I just wanted to set the record straight on a couple of things.

First of all, I agree with Blackstar's comment about the idea of a Rugrats movie not translating well to the big screen.

In case you don't know, Nickelodeon is making a live action movie from a Nicktoon series, actully a triology about Avatar: The Last Airbender. To compare a movie based on Avatar and one on Rugrats, Avatar wins easily. It defently more exciting a movie that will have real intense action with martial arts, explosion, and spiritual powers. Oppose to a movie with talking babies going on pretend adventures. No offense to Rugrats, infact the original series (pre 97) was great.

That is all I got to say about that.

[The Irishman]

Not sure if they count, but the three Simpsons spin-offs (from The Simpsons Spin-off Showcase) are pretty good send-ups of the idea.

Otherwise put me down for The Scary Door (Futurama), Itchy & Scratchy and Wacky Delly.

[Kitschensyngk]

How about FUNi's Shin-chan's Action Bastard?

"The bastard always gets the girl!"

In all fairness that's just your opinion. I happen to think a live action Rugrats movie would be great. In fact, I watch my Baby Geniuses & SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 DVDs all the time.

[Alph]

The Justice Friends in Dexter's Lab.

The Justice Friends are a real life Super Hero group in the Dexter universe, not cartoon characters.

[Hordesman]

Pootan from Cromartie High School

[DrTooth]

How about FUNi's Shin-chan's Action Bastard?

"The bastard always gets the girl!"


I already mentioned that a page back. Didn't know you could get by saying "bastard," so I called him the original Japanese name: Action Mask.

[Juu-kuchi]

Kujibiki Unbalance.

[zoombie]

After becoming familar with this show. I have to add:

Action Bastard (Crayon Shin Chan) - he is a super hero, but he is kind of creppy. In one episode he had a toy that resemble a part of a male body. Saying he wants Shin to hold his rod. Is he the Japanise super hero version of Michael Jackson? LOL Not to mention his side kick / maybe girlfriend doesn't look legal (if you know what I mean). He is truely is a bastard and love him for it.

[Mr. Mxyzptlk]

'Big Shot' from 'Cowboy Bebop' is good stuff; nice theme music and I love the hosts. And the idea of a really cheesy western-ish show meant as a means of directing bounty hunters to serious criminals is fascinatingly strange.

[cyde]

Sick Sad World (Daria) and Big Shot (Cowboy Bebop) for the win.

[GregX]

Russell Crowe: Fightin' Around the World

[Joe]

Little Poops the movie (Rocko's Modern Life) - a parody of the Smurfs, it was real funny when they got stepped on by Really Really Big Man. To quote Heffer "Not the little Poops.

From what I recall, those diaper-esque creatures were called "poots"

[Zorak Masaki]

Would the buddy bears from garfield and friends count? And while we're on that topic, there was also an episode where garfield woke up and he found himself somehow in a he-man/transformers type cartoon.

[Cartman]

Binky the Clown (Garfield and Friends) - Very mad character who annoyed the heck out of Garfield

Krusty the Klown - He actually hosted different types of shows. Sometimes he hosted a kids' show, other times a telethon, other times, a comedy show.

Itchy and Scratchy - Very gruesome, but seemed to crack characters on the show up.

Terrance and Philip - Even though their voices sound sophisticated, they rely solely on toilet humor.
