I can't believe the creator said he was fired for "Ruining Cartoon Network" because of this cartoon. This was one of the best shows back then, especially now. with how safe everything is.
So is this the main reason why Underfist never gotten passed it’s TV movie. Not just because the contract “expired”. Also isn’t that the around same years when the show along with most cartoons was canceled because Cartoon Network was heading to the live action route thinking it “would save” Cartoon Network even though there was clear evidence that no one wanted live action on Cartoon Network when ReAnimated/Out Of Jimmy’s Head bombed hard. If they didn’t want to use too much budget during the time. Flash animation existed so 0 excuses for Cartoon Network for its time.
People don't give Billy enough credit for literally being more chaotic than the Goddess of Chaos. It's only even bigger of a deal when you consider her character pre and post Billy giving her a psychological breakdown. She becomes a completely different person that has no ability to act normally, he factually fried her brain.
If I remembered this episode correctly, breaking her mind wasn’t enough for Billy. She forgot her apple when she ran out of the house. So Billy tried throwing it to her. She was at ground zero of a mushroom cloud.
I like how Billy and Mandy know each other so well They Know Each Other's worst fear I don't think Mandy would tell anyone her worst fear besides Billy
Or Ed, Edd n’ Eddy, Megas XLR, Codename: Kids Next Door, original Teen Titans, 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Naruto part 1, Code Lyoko, and so many others!
What makes me laugh is Mandy tricking Billy into thinking he’s a bug with all those bug jokes. I honestly did not think she was capable of experiencing humor
This only made me realize how hard Mandy either cherishes her and Billy’s friendship or how hard her feelings are for him she doesn’t show it but her actions are always for herself but still include billy to a degree. 1. She made clones of billy 2. She helped him fight jack 3. She liked Billy’s company better than Bobby who’s basically the exact same as billy except different color 4. She read him a bedtime story despite him waking her up and dragging her out of bed
the creator does/did have an idea for a proper movie finale. but unfortunately the bigwigs told him that no one watches or cares abt the show anymore :/
@@Anonymous-mo7oe I watched videos about it. Never knew it was something of this year, a shame really. However, their is hope that this movie will come to light some day. Few examples of old show that came back are samurai jack, invader zim, rocko, etc. Let´s hope the best
The worst part of this show being cancelled , it's that the director that had Maxwell Atoms fired was the same guy that wanted to have live action shows in a cartoon channel. This show was ahead of it's time and game changing. I'll never get gired of saying it but The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy has a one of a kind concept. "The protagonists are two children , one evil and mean little girl and a goofy dumb boy become friends with the Grim Reaper after defeating him in a gamble for the life of their hamster. So now Grim has to be their best friend and take them on all sorts of dark , creepy, dangerous and.. Grim Adventures." I don't care what Cartoon Network said, the show was cancelled around one of their best rating times and it was always great.
Kinda touching that after making herself immortal mandy keeps billy clones around. Shows that even getting immortality and world domination isn't enough without her best friend.
Had the pleasure of meeting him, and he told me he really has to go at it to make Billy's voice, and that indeed yes there are many cuts cause he'd always laugh and the other VA's would laugh during his performance, too. Super nice dude!
Literally searched through the comments to find someone else talking about this too…I grew up on this show and I can’t believe I never noticed that scene😱. This was a KIDS show!😂🤦🏻♀️
Main protagonist are the perfect personification of the gods Billy - foreshadows chaos and ignorance Mandy - foreshadows order and cunning Grim - foreshadows death and hardship
I'm 38 and still find this show funny even after all these years. It's funnier when you're an adult. Edit: Now I'm 40. My favorite characters are Grim, Nergal and Chaos.
8:21 My favorite Billy moments are when he makes long-winded rants without taking a breath. Especially the ones that turns into a completely relevant/irrelevant question.
man billy and mandy was a 2000s masterpiece spongebob is getting all these memes but man CN had alot of good things going for it in the 2000s that are just gone now.
This cartoon will always kick ass and have you laughing! I hope the new generation comes across Billy and Mandy and have a good laugh! Also I love how Mandy secretly starts to care whenever she notices something bad a stupid Billy is doing. When I was young I always thought she was just mean till the final seasons before they stopped it. Same goes from Billy back to Mandy and also grime :D. I’m 26 now so I’m noticing a lot more and adult jokes lol
im 27 unfortunately i didnt get into this show when i was a kid but watching it now i can see it is definitely a gem. theres a lot of sophistication hidden behind the goofiness its art honestly lmao. and just as you pointed out mandy secretly cares, its also evident that billy also has moments of genius. and grim is kinda just there even tho hes supposed to be death lol the situation really is masterfully written. i wish i could go back and experience it all as a kid again haha
I don’t know which show was a bigger part of my childhood. Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy…or Ed,Edd n Eddy. Oh the memories of my childhood are flooding back.
In another universe billy was the template for raz instead zim. It may sound like a complaint but really it’s a was no fail scenario. I love the Richard horvitz trinity.
I can't remember if there's any actual context behind it, but the bumper sticker at 10:52 says Booty and I immediately remembered how great this show is.
10:23 Grim: It’s Billy the Boy Beehive. 10:27 Grim: I love it. 10:28 Mandy: Grim, you got to help Billy. 10:30 Grim: Tell them to buzz off, Billy, they’ll listen. 10:35 Grim: I’d love to help. 10:36 Grim: But it’s none of my beeswax. 10:40 Mandy: Grim. 10:45 Grim: You mean now?
Billy: DESTROY US ALL!!! Me: I can't really stop laughing My favorite episode of grim adventures of billy and mandy is Attack of the Clowns where Grim and Mandy help Billy get over his fear of clowns. The best part, Billy repeatedly shouts, "DESTROY US ALL!"
How does he function? My guess would be. A combination of intellectual overflow error (ie -999-1= Billy’s having a smart moment)and being grims favorite.
In actual mythology, the hammer is so powerful that only someone as powerful as Thor can weild it without getting disintegrated, instead of it being a matter of worthyness. I've yet to decide which version is funnier to have Billy seild.
No body talking about how Billy is holding MJOLNIR and not just using it, took it out of THOR'S FUCKING HANDS. Billy is a more worthy wielder than Thor himself. Like, Billy has no idea, but he had the power of the gods in his hands and knew how to use to a certain degree.
Life is a circle, go far enough in one direction you find yourself on the other side. People can be so smart that they end up either being over confident or end up missing information, both of which make them look idiotic. Similarly, you can be so much of an idiot that you come upon a solution that nobody would have thought of. Or he's actually smart.
5:00 This line is one of my favorites from Billy. The way Richard Horvitz delivers the line is living proof that it's not what you say that's funny, but how you say it. Ordinarily, the line 'You can make me jambalaya', wouldn't be funny. But, again the way Horvitz delivers it never fails to make me laugh.
others wouldnt dare stare down mandy whereas billy makes her read him bedtime stories, slams her into a chair, and spits in her hair that's a hot relationship i want
