Man this thread has been a trip, I thought I knew a lot of dumb cartoons but wow the 80s and 90s were a true bottomless pit of garbage. cadillacs and and dinosaurs? really?? :pwn:

Here's some more trash that I must have only caught part of an episode or two when I was a kid, and for the longest time I wasn't sure if it was just a fever delusion until someone posted it in a similar thread a while ago, WildCATS. Felt like an x-men ripoff, came out in 1994 and only had one season.

The intro is painfully 90s complete with an awful rap segment. Try to watch more than just the intro though the whole thing is just terrible.

This is probably going to be impossible to identify since I saw this when I was maybe 6 years old (late 90s) and don't remember all the details, but here goes nothing:

This cartoon aired later in the evening, but probably not past 11. It was on one of the major networks you could watch without TV or satellite (North Jersey, if that might make a difference in which of these networks would be available). A dad was looking for a pony in the city (??) for his daughter, and he finds this bloated genetic mishap of a horse that he has to carry in his arms. After a certain point (maybe he dropped it?), the horse explodes; I think only fluid came out of it - no body parts. I can't remember too much about the art style; it likely resembled a cartoon from the New Yorker or a Red Bull commercial. I'm guessing it was a pilot for a series that didn't ever take off since I never saw ads for it and it was probably more depressing than funny. Seeing "Sammy" on page 7 reminded me of this cartoon, although I don't remember there being a son involved and the dad wasn't a goofball.

Was this just some kind of fever dream, or does anyone else remember seeing something along the lines of this?

What I love in that show is the way they got around not allowing people to shot each other. You know in GI Joe how every one always bailed out of the jet at the last min/all the baddies where robots? Well in Dino Riders all the bad guys used mind control boxes to control the dinosaurs so the good guys would always be shooting the boxes off the Dino's and have them spaz out against the bad guys.

Was always waiting for that T-Rex to finally chomp the bad guy.

Not a cartoon but reading the thread unlodged a memory of watching this in my parent's bedroom as a kid. I didn't know the name at all but just googled "real life hamster and gerbil kids show" and this showed up. I recall it being incredibly zen and mesmerizing in a way. It says it aired here in the US on Animal Planet, which may be right, but my memory says it aired on Odyssey Channel, a short-lived cable channel owned by the Henson Company (which aired a TON of obscure stuff I barely remember).

Also Pappy's Land. That show holds up. I watched a bunch of it recently and it's still really pleasant.

It's one of those French to English joint studio effort cartoons that there were a bunch of in the 90s and were always on commonwealth countries programming I wouldn't be surpirised if there were some in the US to that were French-Canadian/US joint efforts that have weird annoying stuff.

I remember seeing this in the wee hours of the morning on YTV. They would also run reruns of Dragon Ball and DBZ around the same time slot after their initial cancellations before they started dubbing new episodes in the late 90s/early 2000s

I still have a soft spot for the '95 Dragon Ball dub with the buttrock intro theme

Welcome to Pooh Corner was a show that aired on Disney Channel in the early-mid 80s featuring human actors in costumes. It was a surprisingly sophisticated production for the time, the costumes were partially animatronic with articulated faces and all the backgrounds were bluescreened in.

Bots Master

A young neo-liberal in a corrupted capitalistic future fights the evil Megacorp, using humanoid machines who sometimes have golf clubs and baseball bats for arms. And he squirted lemon juice on their enemies. But the real memorable part of the series was that when the fighting started heating up, ZZ would yell "It's Laser Time BOYZZ" and that was the cue for viewers at home to put on their 3d glasses and watch Megacorp get their poo poo kicked in in the 3rd dimension

I remember back when ABC would advertise the poo poo out of a Garbage Pail Kids animated series leading up to the new fall Saturday morning season and then ...... nothing. I remember parents and schools got all butthurt over these stupid cards, banning/confiscating them. Chalk it up to the parents' lifetime exposure to lead and gas fumes I guess. That's probably why it got pulled at the last minute.

Over 30 years later I find out the complete series is on YouTube

So I don't know the name but it's bugged me for decades:

I only saw part of one episode, but it was about a land (probably a dreamland) populated by sheep (who were the good guys) and opposed by a bunch of cartoon nightmare creatures. The bad guys were led by a shadowy cabal of mysterious figures that stayed hidden behind purple shower curtains.

It was all in italian and it was intense to my nine-year-old self.

E: this would be the mid 90s

Even the parents needed a minute to realize the purpose was to lifecycle the entire toyline and send them back out to buy all new toy robots. No matter how cynical you are about the professional toy commercial industry, you gotta slow-clap a play like that.

I love that movie still. I don't think I could show it to my cousins son though because it needs a lot of context I think. He loves modern transformers but has never seen the old stuff. Guess I could buy the complete series for him first.

On a similar note I still watch the intro to the G.I. Joe movie every now and then because it's just so 80's awesome.
