25 Years of Cartoon NetworkWHATACARTOONMe: Those were three famous words that would signify the start of a short that was about 6 to 7 minutes long. Back in the summer of 2014 in my original CN Month project, I talked about the World Premiere Toons, which was another name for the shorts. These were a compilation of cartoons created by Hanna-Barbera or CN itself to showcase pilots that had a possible chance of being made into official CN series.

Of course, we all know Dexter, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, the Powerpuff Girls, and Courage all originated here before they finally got their short to be their own series. And I only wanted to talk about the shorts that didn't get repackaged into the official shows. And then there were the shorts that were mostly one shots with very few getting a second shot. The likes I reviewed before include the ones showcased on Space Ghost Coast to Coast's special, a 90's revival of MGM's George and Junior, Dino from the Flintstones having a couple starring roles, the sole CGI short, and even the precursor to Family Guy.

Of course, I only scratched the surface. There were a lot more shorts I didn't cover back then, and to start off the 25th anniversary special, this month, I'm going to finish what I started and look at the shorts that I didn't have the time or room to talk about. But before I do, I advise that you check out my CN Month review on the shorts I looked at before by clicking on the link in the description below just in case you're wondering which ones they are. That way, you'll get a full grasp of what I mean.So, let's get this underway with our first short, Hard Luck Duck.Hard Luck DuckThe short opens up in the middle of a bayou where an alligator is sleeping soundly until our titular character Hard Luck opens up his eyelid like a window blind.

So, I'm guessing he lives inside the gator as his house? I guess someone was doing it before Flapjack and K'Nuckles.Hard Luck: Good morning, Harley.Harley:.waking up. How'd you sleep, Hard Luck?Hard Luck: Okay. But I need another blanket for my bed. And I sure wish you'd build a bathroom up here for me.Me: Uh.where does he go then?

Hopefully, somewhere outside his house's body. Hard Luck wants to find some breakfast but not before Harley warns him not to get into any trouble. Just then, the little duck comes across a restaurant that happens to be run by a fox who's trying to find a duck for his latest recipe. And wouldn't you know it, Hard Luck happens to be the unlucky duck on the menu without even knowing it.Fox: Let ze preparation begin!.sees Hard Luck's face on a milk carton. News travels fast.Me: Gee, that seems like a bit of a harsh joke there. Was that from HL's parents?

Anyway, the fox gets right to work on preparing Hard Luck for the dish while the oblivious duckling seems to be having the time of his life. And whatever you do, don't feed him any hot sauce. You will regret it.Harley: Sure hope Hard Luck found some breakfast.Me: Well, his parents sure haven't found him, that's for sure. So, while Hard Luck is getting cooked alive without knowing it.Hard Luck: This is more fun than a theme park on Halloween!Me: He must have been to Six Flags at that time.Harley looks around for him to make sure he's alright and gets a whiff of his little friend being cooked till he's golden brown.Hard Luck: Oh boy! Harley came for breakfast!Me: More like for your rescue that you don't even know you need.Harley: Now close your eyes, little guy. You shouldn't watch such gratuitous violence.beats the crap out of the fox and takes Hard Luck back. The next meal you try to make with this little duck will be your last!Me: You'd think a warning like that would make the fox understand that Harley means it when Hard Luck's life is in the line.

Basically, the fox keeps trying to get Hard Luck only for Harley to step in and retaliate. After having enough of that sly chef's shenanigans, Harley sends him off on a giant firecracker out of the bayou. And thus the day's over.Hard Luck: I sure do wish you'd build a bathroom up here for me, Harley.Harley: Later, Hard Luck. Much later.Me: I still hope he does his business outside of Harley. So, this short was pretty good.

I mainly liked Hard Luck's obliviousness to being cooked for the most part. And Harley did show to be a good guardian to him. But that joke with the milk carton. It makes me wonder.

Where are Hard Luck's real parents? How would they feel knowing an alligator was looking after him?

Come to think of it, the bond between Hard Luck and Harley is just like that between Bill and Aldo from Sitting Ducks. Not the greatest short in the batch, but still enjoyable.

Now, we move onto O. Ratz and his partner Dave D. Ratz with Dave D. Fly: Rat in a Hot Tin CanThis one starts off with the two of them getting chased out of a wine and cheese shop, and yes, they have wine in here like Buzz Cheaply had beer. Also, I don't know if the label on the dumpster is misspelled or spelled that way intentionally.DUMBSTIROh well.Rat: My mother did not raise me to spend the winter in a garbage can.Dave: You're a rat. She did, too.Me: Yep. They're that kind of duo.

The rat can't stand the cold and tries to find ways to stay warm. First, they go to a homeless shelter.Dave: Somehow, I don't think this is gonna turn out right.Me: And you're right not to, Dave, because he just got kicked out the minute he stepped in.Dave: Frankly, I'm surprised street people are so sensitive to rodents.Rat: Oh, shut up.Me: Then they spot a blanket that's hanging on a clothesline on a tall building.Dave: I'll stay down here. I'm afraid of heights.IRONYMe: Irony strikes again! So, the rat tries to get the blanket only for the owner to shoo him off and make him crash.Rat:.climbing up stairs; mockingly. Why don't you just take the stairs to the roof? Why couldn't the stupid fly think of that before I had a brain concussion?Me: He gets the blanket this time only to find that it froze over while hanging out and finds steam coming out of a manhole and uses that to thaw the blanket. While he and Dave get nice and cozy, a snowplow comes charging in and grabs the blanket unintentionally.

Now, they have to find another method of warming up. Thankfully, they find a discarded heater but have to find an outlet to plug it in. And then Rat gets tangled up.Dave: Maybe if I pull this one little coil.Rat: Oh, you don't think that one-(gets free thanks to Dave's pulling) I hate you.Me: So, while the two pains in each other's necks warm up, the heat causes the papers to catch fire and the trash can goes ablaze. The rat tries to put it out with a hose, but the electricity zaps him and almost everything in the can is destroyed.Rat: Well, what's-.zapped.-left?Dave: Not much. The only thing is that jar of gasoline you were saving for when you got a car.Me: Is that what that jar was filled with? Gasoline?Rat: I wonder why that didn't-.zapped.-blow up in the-.zapped.(Explosion)Me: And off they go!Rat: Well, hopefully we're heading toward a warmer climate.Dave: Don't count on it. I think I see penguins down there.Me: So, they're gonna freeze after all.

This short isn't awful, but man is it sad to see that they didn't get a happy ending there. Most of the jokes come from Dave's wisecracking remarks to the rat's complaints.

Some people can't survive out on the streets, and this is an example of how difficult some people have it. So, I don't think this one was all that memorable. But I will say that the next pair of characters are probably one of the most memorable.

And they are known as Pfish and Chip. And we're gonna look at their first cartoon, Short Pfuse.Pfish and Chip in Short PfuseHere, we have a land-dwelling shark named Pfish and a Scottish lynx named Chip currently working on disarming a bomb that's about to go off.Pfish: Spracter?Chip: Who gives the commands?Pfish: The technician disarming the bomb?Chip: Which is.Pfish: You.Chip: AYE! IS THE FOG LIFTING UP THEN!Me: Now, he wants the Spracter.Chip: Mint.gets a breath mint. Duck!.Pfish hands him a duck.Pfish: If I'm not mistaken, that's a duck sensitive pressure trigger.Chip: I've got a duck and I'm gonna use it!Me: Well, guess what? It doesn't work. The bomb goes off and this is reported in the newspaper the next day as the chief lashes out at them for their failure.

He then tells them that he and his teddy bear are gonna take a nap and if they wake him up, they're fired. But they have to be on the lookout for the Mad Bomber. And he decides to wreak havoc on the duo. How does he do that?

With lots of booms!Alexis: Like Sonic Booms?Me: No. All while trying to avoid disturbing the chief, the duo keeps all the bombs that the bomber has planted everywhere from being in his vicinity. He switches out earmuffs with explosive headphones, disguises a bunch of explosives as a baby, and has a bucket as a bomb when Chip thought a pizza was the bomb.Pfish: Bucket bomb?Chip: It never stops.Me: With that at stake, Chip orders a new robot.Chip: The Demolition Zoid!Me.to get the bombs. But even he's a bomb, too! Soon, the two go into a series of bombs that end up transforming them into bodybuilders, blues musicians, Elvis, clowns, rappers, and chickens. When Chip has had enough, he decides to set off so many bombs to wake the chief up. But even all those blasts don't disturb him at all.

So, with their jobs saved, the duo starts singing a musical number which probably would have fit for their theme song if they got their own show. Oh, and Teddy turns out to be a bomb, too. That's pretty much all to say about this short. Just lots of bombs going off. And the villain seems to have befriended them.Mad Bomber: Boom!.laughs.Me: And that wasn't the only short these two got. Well, for one thing, it lasted way too long in the show's run for any particular segment to run. The format was usually like this.

Elmo lives in a world he drawn in crayon. And he would usually learn about a different topic and how it works and what's so special about it. And that was fine at first. But it would get way too monotonous and predictable. Here are some examples.-Elmo's goldfish Dorothy asks how the subject works and then we see Mr. Noodle, a guy who doesn't know anything and keeps messing up while Elmo and some viewers tell him how to do it-After Mr.

Noodle, Dorothy asks someone else and a bunch of kids answer for her, and then Elmo asks a baby who does absolutely nothing to help out-When Elmo wants to find out more about these things, he would resort to his drawer which would push him with its handle and reveal photos about if something does or does not relate to the subject-Almost every time this happens, Elmo asks if a birthday cake relates to the subject, which it does not-Sometimes, they'll go back to Mr. Noodle to see that he got it right-Dorothy would often dream of Elmo relating to the subject in a cute yet weird way-Elmo meets someone that relates to the subject-The segment ended with Elmo just singing the subject's name to the tune of Jingle Bells-It often took up the last third of the hour the show was onIt's not that it was bad or ridiculous. But it was just so predictable and repetitive that I don't often go back to Sesame Street for that segment. Well, yes, that's plenty obvious.

(And I completely forgot that Mr. Noodle's and his brother, played by the late Michael Jeter ineptitude was always excruciatingly annoying, even for kids like me back in the day, and I can see the problem when asking a baby. ) On the other hand, the segment was created to accommodate to the increasing sophistication of the show's viewership, the youngest of which (approx. Ten months old) needed an alternative from the usual structure to keep their attention. The repetition was supposed to help them learn the value of daily routine.If it makes you feel better, Cookie Monster once parodied the segment, just the way you'd imagine.
