Strangest cartoons 2 to 1

Star Trek The Animated series.

This is the cartoon version of the classic Trek show during the period in-between the end of the original series and before they started making all those movies about old people in space. This show was reran on nickelodeon around 1986ish and it was pretty much the first Star Trek show I ever heard of and 3 year old me loved it (In fact it was a while till I found out that Star Trek was more than just a cartoon) . Oh I guess I could not really follow most of the plots but I liked that Spock and Bones always had blue shirts on and Kirk always had a oranage shirt. The show is strange because it seems to be for the most part forgotten from history but Im glad I saw it when so I knew who Sulu was at a very young age.

Mork/ Mindy/ Fonzie/Laverne/Shirley/ army pig thing/pink dog show

Really WTF is this??? Some Mork and Mindy/Happy Days/ Laverne and Shirley thing!!! And they are in the army with a pig army guy! I think this just kind of speaks for itself.

4. The new Scooby Doo movies
This show in the long running series of Scooby Doo shows is on the list because on every eposode of this series the show had special guests that helped out Scooby and the gang. Sometimes the guests were fellow fictional people like Batman and Robin but sometimes they were just animated versions of Mama Cass (no ham sandwich jokes people) and Sandy Duncan ( I know she was on the Hogan Family like ten years after the new Scooby Doo movies but I don't know what she did before then to be on this show).

Since we are on the topic of Scooby Doo I always wondered that since Scooby and Shaggy are such pussy's that they run into each other arm's when they hear the word "clue" why the hell are they even going around solving mysteries anyway? It is not like they have to do that by law. Im sure the two of they would like life much better if they just hung out at home and smoked up/ eat a few scooby snacks.

3.Beethoven.
Beethoven was the cartoon spinoff of the semi-popular movie about a Dog who was a St. Bernard who came to live with a family that included Charles Grodin and the nerdy kid from Step by Step. The cartoon also had Beethoven talk because I guess a cartoon dog who was the star of the show just barking would be kind of boring. And check out at the end when cartoon Charles Grodin get's all David from Alvin and the chipmunks with his "Beethoven!!!!!" oh that cartoon Charles Grodin will he ever win?

Kid 'N Play the cartoon. Once again just like "Hammerman" here we have a cartoon about pop music stars but unlike MC Hammer I do not really think that Kid 'N Play was this pop culture phenomenon that just needed to be made into a cartoon. I mean the House Party movies were popular but not really with the sturday morning demo. I think later I got a Kid N play cassette with two proofs of purchase from Apple Jacks or something (hey I eat what I like!).

5.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was based on a low budget movie from the late 70's and when they showed a clip of the movie on Muppet Babies (always the place to go to find indy movies) somehow the makers of the first film got funded to make another movie and later a saturday morning cartoon ( Yeah I read it on Wikipedia).

Unlike most of the cartoons on this list this was a pretty cool show. It was witty and it was about killer tomatoes.

Hammerman. Hammerman was a show where MC Hammer plays a Super-Hero guy called Hammerman. At the time MC Hammer was in his "Can't touch this" glory so by 1991 logic that means he had to have a saturday morning cartoon. Hammer explaing the plot of the show seems to take about 30 minutes itself "So Gramp opened up the bag and then he put on Matlock!.. and he ripped of the tag! so then he took the shoes out the..." The show just lasted a year and after raping about how the Adams family are cool he was soon out of style and was pretening to be gangsta talking about how he likes the bumps in the dump or the thump in the bump or something.

7.

ProStars. This NBC saturday morning cartoon was about the secert super-hero antics about three then current sports stars. Michael Jordon the most famous NBA player of all time who still takes the time to catch up with his Space Jam buddies thanks to MCI (I belive I can call), Wayne Gretsky one of the most famous NHL players of all time (This means he is on a simlar level of fame as Buddy from Charles in Charge)and Bo Jackson..... the guy who did two sports and really braged about it a lot.Yes looking back having Bo Jackson on the show makes him look out of place, I mean he is best known for commericals , it would be like if Michael Jordon was best known for selling underwear.

Top Ten strangest cartoons 10 to 9

In the 70’s 80’s and 90’s it seemed like just about any entertainment property could get it’s own cartoon series. If you were a movie you could be a cartoon and if you were a cartoon you could be on a cereal box etc. From this sort of cartoon/cereal military/industrial complex we got some strange cartoons. here is a list of ten of them because this is what the internet really needs.. it needs more lists.

10.

Free Willy: This was a Saturday morning cartoon based on the movie about a kid who wanted to make a whale named willy free or something. In the cartoon the whale who is free by this point still chooses to hang out with this kid for some reason (maybe he never wanted to be free) And the music is really bad “oh willy as long as you are free willy”. Another factor in strangeness of this choice is it is called “Free Willy” yet willy is clearly free it would be like if people followed Nelson Mandela around after he was let out of jail and sung “Free Nelson Mandela”

9.

It’s Punky Brewster. Punky Brewster was the story of a young homeless girl who liked to dress in purple and moved in with the old guy from the Police Academy movies. Kids’s loved the show so one day God (or maybe someone else) ordered that a cartoon version should be made. On the cartoon Punky had some sort of magic animal thing named glomer. A lot of “sitcom to cartoon”
shows like this had random magic animal things like they are thinking “okay so let’s have a… Threes Company cartoon …… with a turtle that can go to the future when he dances.”
