Cartoon Network/Radar: Difference between revisions

{{creator}}

 

Oh, how we love a cable network that airs TV-PG shows during the day on what is ostensibly a "children's entertainment network" and whose Standard and Practices Department is, at best, bipolar, and at worst, utterly incompetent. Whether you loved the [[Cartoon Network]] that aired classic cartoons, the [[Cartoon Network]] that currently airs original programming, or the [[Cartoon Network]] that aired a healthy combination of classic cartoons and modern favorites, this channel is known for shattering the [[Animation Age Ghetto]], and these examples (past and present) are proof!

** Drug humor (season one's "Eli Whitney's Flesh-Eating Mistake" and season two's "Pasteur Packs O'Punch" had Larry acting drunk; in "Betsy Ross Flies Her Freak Flag," Betsy Ross and George Washington's army all have red-rimmed eyes and act like stoners. On top of that, there was a strange, white cloud around the "Magical Farm Place Farm").

** [[Dead Baby Comedy]], in the form of several instances of [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood|child abuse and neglect being played for laughs]] (Otto's life in the orphanage as seen in "Eli Whitney's Flesh Eating Mistake" and "Orphan Substitute," Otto getting left behind on the island on "Hate and Let Hate" for most of the episode, an unnamed child getting a piano dropped on him during his birthday party on "The Clownfather," and Otto getting injured while Tuddrussell tries to be like a father to him in "Father Figure of Our Country.")

== Dexter's Laboratory ==

* There's an episode of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' wherein [[Mad Scientist|Dexter and Mandark]] face off at each other in their giant robots, ready to destroy each other. They open fire with ''missiles'' from their ''crotches''.

*** At the end of the episode, they move on to the next chapter -- "Photosynthesis."

** In "Decode of Honor". There are two very hilarious moments--

*** Firstly, DeeDee and Dexter get in a fight over their decoders, inadvertently switching each other's code sheets. DeeDee leaves, delivering the zinger "But Dexter... your club is for big I-D-K-S-Cs." Dexter translates the code, "I...D...K...S...HEY! I'm gonna tell Mom!" For those who only get it for face value, it's an anagram for "dicks".

** In one episode, a teacher openly fawns over a child in ''elementary school''.

** At the beginning [[The Movie]] ''Ego Trip'', when Mandark sneaks into Dexter's house to steal the Neuratomic Protocore there's a shot of Dexter's parents' legs sticking up in the air, tangled together, with his mother moaning "Honey, I don't think that's gonna fit!" It then zooms out to show them playing Twister.

* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' - Every time Jack kills someone, the guy turns out to be a robot, bleeding [[Symbolic Blood|oil]]. Even if he/she looked perfectly human before.

** Not all the time. The episode ''The Princess and the Bounty Hunters'' showed a clear instance of Jack killing not one, but ''five'' non-robot characters. How they snuck that past the censors is a question for the ages.

* On an episode of ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]'', the animals got overweight because they ate fatty human food. In the end, when they're forced to work it off, Principal Pixiefrog tells the teachers that their insurance rates will be astronomical.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8WPmNYDtU0 This promo] 30 seconds in.

* ''Joey to the World'' sadly didn't get past the radar (in one of the rare times that Cartoon Network's censors actually did do a competent job at monitoring content -- that wasn't found in a [[Looney Tunes]] cartoon). The Cartoonstitute short was credited as being "created by Cartoon Network", and they were putting it as a candidate for a comedy series...sadly, theories have it that the creator didn't know he was supposed to produce something for ''children'', causing references to things that would never fly on Cartoon Network. The short was never included on their site and is considered an old shame for them, but it's still up on [[YouTube]], credited as being created by Cartoon Network.

* In Camp Lazlo episode Bean and Weenies, Lazlo compliments Rag's buns and Clam's mystic mustard. Its your interpretaion. Just sayin, is all.

** This line from "Losing Lancelot"
