|[[Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi|Chris Viscardi and Will McRobb]], show co-creators, on ''[[KaBlam!]]'', from ''Not Just Cartoons: Nicktoons''}}
 
'''KaBlam!''' (''Kablam! Theater'' in pre-production) was an animated anthology show designed to show off more animated shows, and the first spin-off of ''[[All That]]''. Running only a half-hour, it crammed in four two-to-five minute programs per episode as well as various miscellaneous animated short series that would come and go. It spawned two spinoffs, ''[[Action League NOW]]'' (which was the centerpiece of '''KaBlam!''' throughout its run) and ''[[Angela Anaconda]]''. It was masterminded by [[Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi]], the creators of ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'' (McRobb also wrote for Nick's original ''[[Doug]]'' and ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''), as well as Robert Mittenthal, who co-created Nickelodeon's incarnation of ''[[Double Dare (1986 TV Show)||Double Dare]]''. It aired on Nickelodeon from 1996-2000, with many episodes left unaired. It's more less-remembered than any other Nicktoon save ''[[Oh Yeah Cartoons]]'', [[Screwed by the Network|but there's somewhat of a reason there]].
 
It was hosted by [[Chew Toy|Henry]] and [[Little Miss Snarker|June]], who resided inside a comic book (which was more notable earlier on; season four toned down most of the comic book refrences except for "turning the page") in which they frequently [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|broke the fourth wall]], [[Lampshade Hanging|mocked tropes]], and got into their own adventures.
Line 146:
** And June's been in a lot of ''[[Mad]]'' episodes. (Doubles as [[Production Posse]] a bit)
*** And in an episode of ''[[Judging Amy]]''.
** One-shot character Fuzzball is [[The Buzz on Maggie|Maggie!]] (as well as [[Bratz|Roxxi]], and [[The Mighty B!|Gwen]].)
** [[The Adventures of Pete and Pete|"Endless" Mike Helstrom]] is Sniz (also an example of [[Production Posse]])
** "Weird Ryan" is [[PB and J Otter|Peanut Otter!]]
Line 170:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Henry and June LOVE doing this.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: June was actually kicked out of her "Firelog Girls" troop because she's such a terrible cook.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Henry and June, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110918235116/http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_KaBlam_Forum/topic/4265635/1 according to] [[Word of God]].
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Every single character on the show. Larry of "Life with Loopy" actually had two regular outfits.
* [[Literal-Minded]]: Loopy.
Line 264:
* [[One-Episode Wonder|Two Episode Wonder]]: ''The Henry and June Show''.
* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]. The references to popular culture and figures of the time - from ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'' to Rosie O' Donnell to Moesha to rapper Busta Rhymes - make it pretty obvious that this is a product of the mid-to-late [[The Nineties|1990s]].
* [[Unmoving PlaidPattern]]: Tommy from "The Off-Beats" was the inspiration for starting the trope page in the first place. The cartoon did that with several other materials, too. September disguises himself as "the President," complete with wig with unmoving hair texture.
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Slightly averted, as in the "Kablammy Awards" episode, June pulls the envelope (it says who won) out of the top part of her dress. However, since she's ten (and flat, [[Pokémon (anime)|unlike some ten-year-olds]]), it didn't get anything past the radar (unlike SOME stuff).
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Henry and June.
