''[[Ka Blam]]'' (''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|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 13:

Common shorts on the show included:

* ''Sniz and Fondue'', the story of two geeky [[Funny Animal]] brothers of [[Cartoon Creature|indeterminate species]]. Filmed in traditional animation.

* ''[[Action League ~~Now~~]]'', which followed the misadventures of a band of incompetent action figure superheroes. Filmed in a mix of stop-motion and live-action described as "Chuck-imation".

* ''[[Action League NOW]]'', which followed the misadventures of a band of incompetent action figure superheroes. Filmed in a mix of stop-motion and live-action described as "Chuck-imation".

* ''Life with Loopy'', the adventures of Loopy, a spunky girl who gets into bizarre situations, as related by her older brother. Filmed in a mix of stop-motion and puppetry.

* ''Prometheus and Bob'', the dialogue-free chronicles of an alien (Prometheus) and his attempts to educate a caveman (Bob), made [[Failure Is the Only Option|hilariously unsuccessful]] by Promethesus's arrogance, a meddling chimpanzee, and Bob's [[The Ditz|overwhelming stupidity]]. Filmed in stop-motion.

Line 21:

* ''Surprising Shorts'', which had no recurring characters or plot or art style but seemed to be the overarching title given for a series of one-off cartoons. It appeared occasionally during the first two seasons.

** There were some one-off cartoons that did not fall under the ''Surprising Shorts'' title, but were presented as their own entities.

* ''The Offbeats'', a traditionally-animated series created by Mo Willems of ''[[Sheep in The Big City]]'', about a group of unpopular kids. Occasionally replaced ''Life with Loopy'' during the first two seasons. Although it was considered one of [[Ka Blam]]!'s best shorts, it was the first of the regulars to end because of Willem's creating Sheep In The Big City for ''[[Cartoon Network]]''.

* ''JetCat'', about a girl with a cat-themed superhero alter ego. It, along with ''Race Rabbit'', replaced ''Sniz and Fondue'' when it left and stayed for the rest of the series.

=== This show features examples of: ===

Line 48:

* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: Promethus of ''Prometheus and Bob''

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Averted, as Loopy isn't really annoying. Except her whole little, "Viking cheerleader from Venus" game.

* [[Anvil On Head]]: Used a few times in H&J, but not often.

* [[Anvil on Head]]: Used a few times in H&J, but not often.

* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare the picture of Henry and June above with [http://www.flickr.com/photos/33274287@N05/4151283979 this image from the first season's opening].

** The animation for ''Sniz & Fondue'' also was cleaned up in season two, but that was because they got a new overseas animation department.

Line 89:

** Ironically, Snuppa and Bianca were the stars of the original Sniz and Fondue [[Pilot]], "Psyched For Snuppa"

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: The Henry & June shorts.

* [[Content Warnings]]: Being one of the first Nick shows (along with ''[[Are You Afraid of the Dark]]'' and reruns of ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'') to be given a TV-Y7 rating when the ratings were introduced in 1997 (the rest were TV-Y and TV-G, or not rated like game shows and Kids Choice Awards), a parent warning was shown at the begining to remind parents of very young children to watch something else. It was dropped in 1998.

{{quote| '''Nickelodeon Announcer''': Sometimes on ''[[Ka Blam]]!'', things go "kablam!", and that's why it's rated Y7 (''cue to Henry struggling to hold up a very heavy TV-Y7 rating logo''). }}

* [[Cool Shades]]: The end title card for the episode "Harold's Glow In The Dark Brand Butter" features June looking very cool in shades while shilling the titular butter.

* [[Constantly Curious]]: Loopy.

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Mr. Stockdale, the network executive in charge of ''[[Ka Blam]]'' in-universe. Though he's not malicious as much as he is senile and incompetent.

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: The main kids in ''The Offbeats'' segments were voiced by young children, most notably [[The OC|Mischa Barton]] as Betty-Anne Bongo. The later episodes had several of the kids' voices sounding a bit lower, including the females (who were voiced by girls). The only adult voice actor was series creator Mo Willems, who voiced September the dog, and Grubby Groo. Not to mention that Henry and June were done by kids, along with Loopy and Larry.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Pretty much every character on Life with Loopy or the Henry and June shorts.

Line 103:

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: June (mainly in season two onwards).

* [[Deranged Animation]]: A good amount of the shorts

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Nick advertised the show as, "the first animated sketch comedy". Uh.....what about ''[[~~Animaniacs (Animation)|~~Animaniacs]]'', which proceded the show by three years? And don't forget te older ''[[The Banana Splits]]'', everyone.

* [[Disintegrator Ray]]: In the episode ''Tastes Like Paper'', Superhero!Henry and Superhero!June got zapped by one of these when a giant UFO attacked. They got better.

* [[Dueling Shows]]: With ''[[Oh Yeah Cartoons]]''.

Line 111:

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: A season 4 episode has a scene involving a group of female fans of June's that are so obsessed with her, that they dress like her, have their hair like hers, and yes, are as hot-tempered as she is.

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Loopy has two purple beads in her hair to keep her pigtails up.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Bob]]: Bob of ''Prometheus and''...uh, yeah...

* [[Everything's Better with Bob]]: Bob of ''Prometheus and''...uh, yeah...

* [[Everythings Better With Bunnies]]: Race Rabbit.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Monkeys]]: The monkey in ''Prometheus and Bob''.

* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: The monkey in ''Prometheus and Bob''.

* [[Everything's Worse ~~With~~ Bears]]: In ''The KaBlair! Witch Project''.

* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: In ''The KaBlair! Witch Project''.

* [[Executive Meddling]]: The then-president of Nickelodeon didn't like Patch-Head, and his shorts were removed. Since the character got a lot of hate anyway, the fans were happy.

* [[Eyecatch]]: One of the few Nick shows to use one.

Line 128:

* [[Forgotten Birthday]]: In ''More Happiness Than Allowed By Law''. Henry and June are celebrating their birthdays, and June got Henry a really cool remote-controlled car. Guess what Henry got ''her''? Nothing? Yep. She spends the rest of the episode making his life hell until the end, where he makes up for it by giving her a mood ring, and when she puts it on, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|the color goes from blue for "Sad" to green for "Happy"]]. {{spoiler|Until he makes a remark about how expensive it was, and it changes to orange for "annoyed", and then goes to [[Red Alert|red]]... Luckily for his sake, June admits to being self-centered and forgives him, and they wish each other a happy birthday.}}

* [[Framing Device]]: The Henry and June segments--a particularly odd choice, seeing as there's no reason for them to be watching animated shorts while living in a comic book. It makes sense when you find out McRobb and Viscardi's original pitch was for a live-action comic book.

** They 'take you inside and turn the pages' so [[Fridge Brilliance|all the shorts are actually comics in the book as well]]. Their segments serve a similar purpose to The Cryptkeeper's in [[Tales ~~From~~ the Crypt|his comic.]]

** They 'take you inside and turn the pages' so [[Fridge Brilliance|all the shorts are actually comics in the book as well]]. Their segments serve a similar purpose to The Cryptkeeper's in [[Tales from the Crypt|his comic.]]

* [[Free-Range Children]]: Both Loopy and Larry. Same with Sniz and Fondue.

* [[Freeze Frame Bonus]]: Some of the wider shots in the Henry and June segments (particularly coming out of a short or the opening) show upcoming 'panels' that reveal the next short or an upcoming exchange.

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: Some of the wider shots in the Henry and June segments (particularly coming out of a short or the opening) show upcoming 'panels' that reveal the next short or an upcoming exchange.

* [[Friday Night Death Slot]]: Well, at first, the show had four time slots (during the original run): Friday at 8:00 PM for new episodes, SNICK (Saturday night) for reruns at 9:00 PM (and 9:30 PM on occasions), 12:00 PM for reruns on weekends, and during some morning or early afternoon hours for reruns before and after Nick Jr, and while the target audience is at school. After SNICK was re-vamped, the only way to catch new episodes was in the Friday night slot.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Repunzil of ''The Off-Beats''.

** And the earlier version of June.

* [[Genre Busting]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: [[Ka Blam! ~~(Animation)~~/Radar|Has its own page.]]

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: [[Ka Blam!/Radar|Has its own page.]]

** The start would probably be naming the two leads after [[wikipedia:Henry Miller|Henry]] and [[wikipedia:June Miller|June Miller]]. Some of the gags involving references to these two (including the one under [[Even the Girls Want Her]]) straddles the line between this and [[Genius Bonus]].

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Loopy.

Line 145:

** 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 ~~(Animation)~~|Maggie!]] (as well as [[Bratz|Roxxi]], and [[The Mighty B|Gwen]].)

** 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 151:

** In many of the shorts (usually the one-shots), you're likely to hear a few ''[[Doug]]'' voices in there, namely Judy (and Connie), Boomer (and Roger in the Disney series), and Chalky

* [[Homicide Machines]]: Loopy made one (unknowing it was evil) to be her "friend".

* [[Horrible Camping Trip]]: In ''[[The Blair Witch Project|The KaBlair! Witch Project]]'', Henry, June, Mr. Stockdale, Mr. Foot, Henry's mom and Jimmy McGee go on a company camping trip. Almost immediately, Mr. Foot freaks out after they hear a roaring [[Everything's Worse ~~With~~ Bears|bear]] and escapes in the camper, leaving everyone else stranded. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

Almost immediately, Mr. Foot freaks out after they hear a roaring [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bear]] and escapes in the camper, leaving everyone else stranded. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: June tried to make the show like this in the episode ''Won't Stick to Most Dental Work''.

* [[I See London]]: Sniz and Fondue, whenever their shirts are lifted, their tighty whities are shown, seeing as they don't often wear pants.

Line 158:

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Dawn looks very much like her voice actress, Julia Mcilvaine (who also voices June).

** Played with a bit with Henry, as Noah Segan, his voice actor, dyed his hair green for a little while after ''Kablam!'' premiered.

* [[Jerk ~~With~~ a Heart of Gold]]: Larry from ''Life with Loopy'', as he constantly teases Loopy, however he has a big heart and would never let anything happen to her.

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Larry from ''Life with Loopy'', as he constantly teases Loopy, however he has a big heart and would never let anything happen to her.

** And Henry. He can be pretty self-occupied at times, but inside, he cares about June.

** And June, from Season 2 on anyway. She's incredibly snarky, has a fiery temper, and can get pretty violent when someone makes her mad, but she's got a good heart.

Line 187:

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: A few episodes had some other characters (especially Mr. Stockdale) refer to June as "Jane". Surprisingly, she didn't get mad. In fact, some fans call her "Jen".

* [[Network Red Headed Stepchild]]

* [[Never Say Die]]: Averted when June has to fall and let Henry catch her in one episode:

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted when June has to fall and let Henry catch her in one episode:

* [[Nice Hat]]: Fondue's chef hat.

Line 215:

* [[Scare Chord]]: Happens a lot in ''Life with Loopy'', even in the short's theme. But then again, this IS ''Life with Loopy''...

* [[Scout Out]]: June is a former Girl Scou- uh, Logfire Girl.

* [[Screwed By the Network]]: Nickelodeon just leaves this show in the cold.

* [[Screwed by the Network]]: Nickelodeon just leaves this show in the cold.

* [[Series Fauxnale]]: Episode 29. It's also the hardest to find on the internet.

* [[Series Mascot]]: Henry and June, which is fitting as they're the hosts. They were even the mascots of Nickelodeon at one point.

Line 232:

* [[Spin-Off]]: ''Action League Now!'', ''Angela Anaconda'', the ''Off-beats'' holiday specials, The Life With Loopy special and the very short lived ''The Henry and June Show''.

** The show itself is a spin-off of ''[[All That]]''.

** A one-shot short, ''Stewie the Dog Boy'' WAS going to become a Nicktoon, but it was shelved when Disney's ''[[~~Teachers~~ Pet (~~Animation~~)|Teachers Pet]]'' premiered.

** A one-shot short, ''Stewie the Dog Boy'' WAS going to become a Nicktoon, but it was shelved when Disney's ''[[Teacher's Pet (TV series)|Teachers Pet]]'' premiered.

*** This one could still be considered a spinoff, as the creator of the short, Dennis Messner met "Teachers Pet" creator Gary Bassemen on Kablam, where Basseman had his own one-off short, "Louie and Louie."

*** Speaking of spin offs, did you know that Sniz & Fondue was a spin off of the short cartoon "Psyched For Snuppa". So for S&F, its actually the other way around.

Line 246:

* [[The Ditz]]: Bob, the Action League, and June in season one.

** Don't forget Repunzel of ''The Off-Beats''.

* [[The Musical]]: Henry and June once advertised for ''[[Ka Blam]]! The Musical'' in season three.....it doesn't exist.

* [[The Musical]]: Henry and June once advertised for ''[[Ka Blam!]]! The Musical'' in season three.....it doesn't exist.

* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Henry, Mr. Stockdale, Mr. Foot.......poor, poor June.

** ''[[Action League ~~Now~~]]!'' had seven (or eight depending on Justice (the dog)'s gender that episode) main male characters: The Flesh, Stinky Diver, Meltman, The Chief, The Mayor, and Bill The Lab Guy. Girls? Thundergirl. There was also the lab guy's daughter, but she was annoying and was taken out.

Girls? Thundergirl. There was also the lab guy's daughter, but she was annoying and was taken out.

** Life With Loopy was the most gender neutral short (Although it had a female protagonist). It had 2 main females (Loopy and her mom) and 2 main males (Larry and his dad). The other characters were minor/one shot characters.

** Even worse in ''Sniz and Fondue''; the only main female was Bianca!

** Averted in The Off-Beats, however, where Betty Ann Bongo is the leader of the Off-Beats and Tina is the leader of The Populars.

** [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s review of this trope mentioned that the only Nicktoons with female protagonists were ''[[The Wild Thornberrys]]'', ''[[As Told By Ginger]]'', and ''[[My Life As a Teenage Robot]]'', except for ''Kablam!'', which had three and a half (June, Loopy, Thundergirl, the "half" could either be Bianca because she doesn't appear in every S&F short, or Jetcat, because she's not in every episode).

* [[They Might Be Giants]]: Did two music videos; "Why Does the Sun Shine?" and "Doctor Worm".

* [[The Complainer Is Always Wrong]]: Billy from "The Off-Beats", The running gag in the series usually [[Played for Laughs|involved Billy]] saying something that would get Tina mad, and then the Populars would literally throw him out of the group, causing Billy to crash into something.

* [[Thick Line Animation]]: Henry and June, [[Depending On the Artist]].

* [[Thick Line Animation]]: Henry and June, [[Depending on the Artist]].

* [[This Trope Is Bleep]]: One episode had Henry being bleeped randomly as a practical joke.

* [[Tsundere]]: June

Line 262:

* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Dear god, June. In Season 3, she becomes a lot more snarky, indifferent and, while nowhere near villainous, borderline [[Heroic Sociopath|sociopathic]]. However, [[Defrosting Ice Queen|she becomes a much nicer person in Season 4]].

* [[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 Plaid]]: 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.

* [[Vocal Evolution]]: All the kids in ''The Off-Beats'' had lower voices in season two. This also happened with Loopy and Larry of ''Life with Loopy'' and more recognizably, Henry and June. Unlike most shows with kid voice actors, they were (thankfully) never replaced.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Sniz and Fondue's [[Pilot]], "Psyched for Snuppa", was one of of the two contenders for the fourth Nicktoon in 1992. The show it lost to? [[Rocko's Modern Life]].

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: ''Life with Loopy'', depending on who you ask.
