The following collection is a delightful potpourri of childhood ephemera and full-on weirdness, replete with old-school cartoon clips and less-than-childlike fare. (Two words: Salad Fingers. Shiver)
So leave all apprehensions about the uncanny valley back there with those week day worries and catapult yourself into the weekend. We begin with Larsson's medley, which should put y'all in the mood for some Saturday morning cartoons (only a few hours away).
The Cartoon Medley
Simon's Cat, "Fly Guy"
Fredde Gredde: I'm quite interested in animation (you can see some proof of that in my "Cartoon Medley," (around 4:25), so I'd like the theme to be animation! One of my favorite YouTube shows is Simon's Cat.
Cats are awesome.
"Hey Ya!" Charlie Brown-Style
Karen Hartline: Charlie Brown doing "Hey Ya!" by Outkast. 'Nuff said.
The Smurfs, "Foul Weather Smurf"
Lauren Rubin: Someone needs to prove to me that the Met Office isn't run by Smurfs, because some days I really believe they are playing with the weather in London.
Salad Fingers, "Picnic"
Amy-Mae Elliott: Not all cartoons are for kids as the excellent Salad Fingers series shows. This one is SFW -- but it'll still send a shiver down your spine.
Batman: The Animated Series
Radhika Marya: This '90s animated series holds up so well, I actually own all the box sets. I always loved the show's overall look (partially achieved by painting many of the scenes on a black background).
Madvillain, "All Caps"
Zachary Sniderman: Thank you, Madvillain. We miss you.
"Badgers"
Jolie O'Dell: I'm ashamed to say it, but we often sing this ditty around the house, complete with a choreographed dance. This can go on for hours.
Ducktales Intro
Adam Ostrow: The intro to Duck Tales. I wish I could remember why I liked this show as a kid.
"Batty Rap"
Lauren Indvik: Robin Williams singing the "Batty Rap" from Fern Gully. I can recite this on request.
The Meth Minute 39, "Watermelon Nights"
Blake Robinson: We need some stop motion in this group!
Punga Zune Art
Evan Wexler: Re-animation?
