Top 5 Weirdess Cartoons ever!!!

[Superboy Prime]

Now I have an enormous cartoon collection both on bootleg and actual release. I'm talking hundreds of complete series!! I have been watching so many lately that some have turned up to be so bizarre that after I was done watching them I would scratch my head and wonder what the makers of the cartoons were smoking. So I decided to put a list down and see what some of you other toon fans think and what other cartoons you may want to add. So without further ado, here is my

TOP 5 Weirdest/Wacky/head scratching/questionable/ Cartoons ever made!!!!


5. Fred And Barney Meet the Thing (1979)

I know this cartoon has been talked about before. And out of all the Marvel toons, this one will always pop up as a questionable toon and try to comprehend what Hanna and Barbera were thinking when they changed directions on what the Thing actually was in the comics to this kid friendly (or is it madman friendly) cartoon. Lovable teenager, Benji Grimm puts his two rings together and becomes the Thing!! But even this campy cartoon has nothing on the intro. What the hell is Fred and Barney doing hanging out with the Thing? What do they have in common other than toon hijinks? I'll never know and I don't want to!! Believe it or not, this toon also ranks in my top 10 best cartoons ever!!! I can watch it over and over and I always do. But that doesn't mean it's not a weird and wacky cartoon. Watch the episode when the Thing thinks he is a duck...you'll never look at the Ever lovin Blue-eyed Thing the same way again. It's fabulous!!!

4. The Gary Coleman Show (1982-1983)

Another toon that always makes the loony list. Where it is a toon based on the Gary Coleman made for t.v. movie "The Kid With the Broken Halo." Some things changed up from the movie, but this toon still ranks up with any wacky list. It just has too!! And it is yet another toon that I LOVE and can watch over and over! I love Gary Coleman (R.I.P. buddy) and I always will. One time at a convention back in 2007 I met Gary and told him how much I loved this toon. You could tell he thought I was kidding and trying to heckle him, but I was serious!!! So no matter what anyone says about you Gary or this toon, I love it and you forever. But man, it's still a weird one brotha.

3. The Brady Kids (1972-1974)

Not a common toon that people remember or watch but if you ever do, make sure your not on drugs!!! There is no need for them! You'll be out of your mind plastered after just one episode!!! For each episode takes the Brady kids on adventures with there animal friends (a dog, two pandas, and a cookoo bird that has magic??) where at the end of every episode they sing a song that is good for the whole family. But unlike the previous two toons, this one is kinda hard to watch. Especially when your trying to watch a whole season. Try it, I bet you can't. And if you got the stomach to try and watch an episode I'll recommend the Superman ep where all the animals find out that Clark Kent is Superman and all the humans are too Brady stupid to. No wonder the real life Brady actor's agent refused them to do the next season of voice over for these Filmation toons. He must have saw the devastation that this toon might do to there futures in the acting biz!! It's a masterpiece when it comes to wacky.

2. Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling (1985-1986)

When I was a kid, I can remember counting down the days till the fall season when this toon was going to air!! Well, you can imagine my disappointment when I saw the first episode on that Saturday morning. No fighting, no wrestling, no nothing!! I kinda got into the hi-jinks the wrestler's got into as well as some of the real wrestler's promos that aired throughout the show. But even for my kid brain, it was bad. And a little boring to boot. Now fast forward into my adulthood, I thought I was wiser and would love the horribleness of it when I got the complete series on bootleg. After watching it for a while, I found it hard to get through ANY episode. And then thinking about it. These wrestler's just went around town dressed up in their garb, driving around in those horrible cars and did stuff. They looked like fools!! Almost as big as a fool as me for watching this thing and dozing off due to boredom. Sorry Hulk Hogan, I'll always be a big time fan, but I just can't get into this toon and all the craziness in it. Too weird, too boring, too much!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPSra3AccE0


1. The Super Globetrotters (1979)

Okay, now nothing but nothing all these other weird toons have on this list can compare to this one...NOTHING!!! I always remembered the Globetrotters on The Scooby Doo Movies and the Harlem Globetrotters, but when they got their very own superhero toon in 1979 I missed it as a kid. I was probably watching the Superfriends. Thank god I was because I would've been F@&KED UP!!! As I finally got this series on bootleg a few weeks ago, I thought I would have the pleasure to watch it and get a laugh and a little entertainment. I got more than I bargained for!!! It was just so freaking weird and scary all at the same time!! I swear, I don't know what Hanna and Barbera were thinking when this hit the air. A talking basketball called the Crimeglobe that told the Trotters of danger (and was annoying as hell)? A Globetrotter team that turned into a bunch of jive supa fools when they became superheroes and had some of the most lamest superpowers and look (the Trotter with the shyat in the afro was cool though)? And every episode was the same! They had to defeat the enemy in a basketball game against monsters and creeps (Even Attila the Hun and the Huns???) where they are always losing the first half and then turn into their superhero alias's and then win the game. What the hell am I watching??? I don't get it?? And even as an adult, I NEVER WILL!!! I can stomach a few episodes in a row before I have enough. Go ahead and try to watch a few of these, you'll forget your name, your car, your whole world. I'm speaking the truth!!

Agree, disagree, let me know!!!

[Silverstar]

Sure, The Super Globetrotters was pure cheese, but I actually enjoyed that cartoon as a kid. Of course, I was 10 years old in 1979, not the most distinguished palette in the world back then.

[KJ Styles]

I co-sign all of your picks except Turbo Teen, I actually thought that show was pretty cool. Even though I was a wrestling fan, I thought Hulk Hogan's Rock N Wrestling was pretty cheesy. It might have been better if the wrestlers themselves had done their character voices. I loved the late, great Junkyard Dog. He was my fav back then.

[ClassicToonFan]

I have to agree with you on these intros. I've seen a clip of The Brady Kids and it seems a little strange. It seems The Osmonds and The Jackson 5 had better cartoons than The Brady Kids.

The whole Laverene & Shirley & Happy Days & Mork & Mindy cartoons seem a little overdone. I haven't seen an episode of those other than the intros.

It seems like everyone that was a kid or teen favorite back then had their own Saturday morning catoon show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIbM-sftdWA

Fred & Barney only interacted with the Thing in the open and some interstital skits. There were no cross-overs. I actually think that Marvel wants to disavow any knowledge of this series ever getting made. ;) :p



4. The Gary Coleman Show (1982-1983)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TooCr9mAfaI

Disagree on both. The Gary Coleman show, as you note, was spun off from "Kid With the Broken Halo", and picked up where the movie left off. Brady Kids was a by-product of the Brady Bunch's success, of course, but when half the kids left after the 1st season (Not sure if their agents had anything to do with it, as you claim), the series pretty much was DOA. The Osmonds & Jacksons had Rankin-Bass producing their shows, with the animation done overseas (England, Japan, et al), but the Bradys actually had the better show.



2. Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling (1985-1986)

When I was a kid, I can remember counting down the days till the fall season when this toon was going to air!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pch_77AX08

It was bad enough that Hogan and co. didn't have the cajones to do their own voices (talent included Brad Garrett & James Avery), but the comedy skits weren't that special. I wouldn't rank it so high. The Globetrotters with the Impossibles' powers and bonuses? Airing opposite the Super Friends? Epic fail!

Agree, disagree, let me know!!!

I was a fan of Fonz & the Happy Days Gang, so I've got a problem with that being on your list.

My list:

5. Rubik. An 80's fad as a cartoon hero? I don't think so.
4. Turbo Teen. Meant as a parody of Knight Rider with the whole sentient car deal.
3. Wolf Rock TV. A total dud that both Dick Clark and Wolfman Jack would like to disavow. Lasted just a month, and somehow landed in syndication years later. (Clark co-produced with DIC)
2. Super Globetrotters. Why H-B couldn't revive the Impossibles, I don't know.
1. Hammerman. MC Hammer sanctioned this show that involved magic shoes. Epic fail!

[Superboy Prime]

That's what I love!! A true cartoon geek...just like me:)

[Shawn Hopkins]

I'd still have to put Turbo Teen at the top. A kid turning into a car is just weird, dude. The transformation sequence always freaked me out when I was a kid.

Pro Stars, in which Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson fought crime for, some reason, was also weird as heck.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px5njG8ikvo

Also, will a mod please fix the typo in the title. It bugs.

[Dr.Pepper]

Oh wow. I seriously have no idea what these people were smoking when these shows were being approved. I mean why is the commander in Laverne and Shirley a pig? And why do the Brady kids have pandas as pets?

[Silverstar]

Oh wow. I seriously have no idea what these people were smoking when these shows were being approved. I mean why is the commander in Laverne and Shirley a pig? And why do the Brady kids have pandas as pets?

I can't answer the first question, but I do know the second:

The Brady Kids found Ping and Pong (those were the pandas' names) on an island which they got marooned on. The pandas were on a rocket ship from China which crash landed on the island before the Bradys arrived there.

-Yes, I still remember that. :sweat:

[KJ Styles]

My List.....

5. New Kids On The Block- Arguably the worst singing group toon EVER, even worse than Partridge Family 2200 AD.

4. Rick Moranis In Gravedale High- NBC tried to cash in on Rick's "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" popularity, and it failed miserably.

3. Goober & The Ghost Chasers- The absolute WORST of the Scooby-Doo knockoffs IMO.

2. Little Rosie- Roseanne Barr's cartoon was so bad it made Yo Yogi look like a cult classic!! She even had the nerve to blame ABC for it's horrific ratings. Loved her sitcom, but HATED her cartoon.

1. Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch- This was too crappy for words. Imagine an animated version of "My Mother The Car". Yes, THAT bad! For those who find Scrappy-Doo annoying, he was a breath of fresh air compared to the little Moped-like bike in the Chopper Bunch. NBC must have known that this didn't have much of a shelf life, which is why they aired it opposite the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show.

There's probably weirder/more questionable ones out there, but these are the first that came to mind. I doubt that Wheelie or Little Rosie will EVER leave my list though.

[Anthonynotes]

Chiming in...

"Fred and Barney Meet the Thing": As others said, they only "met" in the intros and interstitals; very much false advertising. :-p The show was one of the anthology shows popular on TV in the late 70s; the Thing's half was Ben as a teenager who could turn into the Thing at will. The other half were reruns of last season's "The New Fred and Barney Show."

"The Brady Kids"... mostly last saw it as a kid, but even now would probably make it my vote for "worst cartoon ever" (yes, worse than Pokemon, Family Guy and a good chunk of Adult Swim in my book ;-) ). A crudely animated Filmation cartoon based on a live-action sitcom I never liked (The Brady Bunch) with not one, not two, but *three* wacky animal sidekicks (the two aforementioned pandas plus a magical mynah bird---don't ask), and Archie-like song numbers (traced over old animation of the Archies themselves).

"Pro Stars": I remember this... guess it is weird even with the greatest basketball and hockey players ever known teaming up a la some sports-themed "World's Finest" teamup (with then-bigger-name-than-he-is-now Bo Jackson also in tow). Wonder what a modern version would be like (Kobe Bryant, Brett Favre and Sidney Crosby?)

"Wheelie": This one was a knockoff not of "my Mother the Car", but of Disney's "Herbie," with an all-auto-world a la Pixar's "Cars." Was half-hoping there'd be a Chopper Bunch cameo in "Cars" (maybe as a motorcycle gang bothering the semi instead of those sports cars?). And like "Cars", no explanation how their world "worked" without opposable thumbs either (though we saw the vehicles use their tires, fenders and radio antenna like hands, so...).

"New Kids on the Block" and "Hammerman": Early 90s cheese. The former, my sister liked, I didn't (she liked the band as well, and, well, I didn't); the latter, really bad animation not helping...

"Turbo Teen": I thought this one was weird even as a kid; weirder that it was *the* favorite show of a classmate of mine, while I couldn't see *why*...

-B.

[KJ Styles]

"Pro Stars": I remember this... guess it is weird even with the greatest basketball and hockey players ever known teaming up a la some sports-themed "World's Finest" teamup (with then-bigger-name-than-he-is-now Bo Jackson also in tow).

-B.

Replace Brett Favre with either Tom Brady or Peyton Manning and you'd be accurate.

Bo Jackson was big time back then, an injury forced him to retire. Otherwise he might have been the first person to make the Hall Of Fame in TWO sports (baseball and football).

As for Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch, I think the poor animation and annoying voice acting really turned me off. I'm sure Pixar would have done a better job though. If there's ever a sequel to Cars, then your idea could come to fruition. I would just hope they'd leave out that annoying little Moped who's catchphrase was "I told you, I told you!!". He was annoying as all hell!!

[Superboy Prime]

A little info on the Thing cartoon:

To quote Stan Lee circa 1985: "Norman Lear wanted to produce a Marvel cartoon via Hanna-Barbera and had mentioned he always liked the Thing. He also asked if I could come up with a way the Thing could pal around like Archie but still be the Thing when needed. I knew comics, he had the #1 show; if that's what he wanted, that MUST BE what will work!"

At least Stan knew he was out of his element.... :ack:

Norman Lear was the producer of that show? BTW, i wonder if that show is why Marvel decided to go with DePatie Freling (and later their own production studio) for the future marvel cartoons, so they dont have to see their characters turned into a show like that anymore.

There is going to be a sequel to Cars in 2011

[Mister Intensity]

The cartoons on this aren't so much weird as they are bad.

I don't recall Lear's name being attached. He would, though, produce one for WB, Channel Umptee-Three, which bombed.

[Blackstar]

This wasn't a cartoon, it was a live action series, but it did run on Saturday mornings for a single season, and it was weird.

Going Bananas (http:///www.imdb.com/title/tt0419331/) (NBC, 1984) - An real orangutan (not a cartoon or a puppet) named Roxana Banana escapes from the zoo one day and gets zapped by a U.F.O., giving her super powers. Roxana travels the country with her human friends in their RV helping random citizens in need and foiling the plans of a pair of would be would be con artists known as The Gritz Brothers: Hank (played by James "Uncle Phil on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and the voice of Shredder on the 80s TMNT" Avery) and Hubert (Bill Saluga).

This was indeed a real program.

[Shawn Hopkins]

The cartoons on this aren't so much weird as they are bad.

What world do you live in that's so fantastic a kid turning into a car, with a full-on werewolf-like transformation, isn't weird? I want to go to there.

Yeah, I remember it. I think I only saw it once, though. It might have been because it was short-lived and it might have been because that was about the time I accidentally dumped a cup of Kool-Aid into our big wood-paneled floor-model television and shorted it out. No, we didn't have other ones in every room, this was the 80s and we were without TV for quite a while.

[dth1971]

Don't forget Norman Lear didn't sue DePaite/Freeling in 1972-1973 when DFE did an animated All in the Family takeoff with dogs calling it "The Barkleys".

Indeed, and it was dumped at the 12-1 hour (ET), where the NBC affiliate in my area opted not to air it at all.

That timeslot? Probably one reason I never saw/heard of it... if our TV was still on at that time, we'd flip over at 11 to watch "Soul Train"...

[KJ Styles]

Soul Train aired at 12 in my market, at 11 I'd watch WWF (now known as WWE) Superstars.

Kidd Video was a pretty weird cartoon. A band of kids all of a sudden getting sucked into an animated universe. It was a pretty good show, but weird.

[Mister Intensity]

What world do you live in that's so fantastic a kid turning into a car, with a full-on werewolf-like transformation, isn't weird? I want to go to there.

Okay, I'll grant you Turbo Teen was weird, in fact I advocated that it should have been included in the Saturday Morning Cartoons 80's set for that reason but most of the cartoons on the original list that started this thread were more on the bad side than the weird side.

I grew up in Central Time Zone, so Saturday mornings ended an hour earlier than out east... one reason we could flip to Soul Train without missing too much cartoon-wise.

I recall Kidd Video. Typical 80s, well, 80s-ness from what I recall. Never did like the 80s (even though I grew up during it)... :-p

[KJ Styles]

I hated the 90's the worst. 60's thru late 70's were the best, bar none.

The 00's are by far the worst overall IMO. Especially with SatAM toons became virtually non-existent with the dismissals of FoxKids and KidsWB. SatAM toons began to decline in the mid-90's (both in quality and quantity) so I can see why you'd hate it, but the overall quality was pretty good IMO.

The 60's were excellent. The 70's had it's ups and downs but they get a thumbs up from me because of the prominisce of Scooby-Doo and The Superfriends. The 80's are probably my personal favorite.

Yeah, I get it. For me, the 60's and 70's were AWESOME!!! The 80's were good, especially He-man and the Marvel toons. 90's started the decline and the 00's are the results. Both stunk and remind me of what is bad with today.
