I don't know why you put Flapjack over Ren and stimpy adult party cartoons, you could have released the video again but cut the mis adventures of Flapjack and put Ren and stimpy adult party cartoons instead, the reason, Flapjack changed animation to this day, Ren and stimpy adult party cartoons on the other hand don't at all.
Sorta but not really. it was a novelty for the time they did it but since then streaming music videos became more common place alongside the widespread use of the internet. they needed to branch out to stay relevant. Though still calling themselves MTV is a bit strange since they don't focus on music anymore.
I thought the reason he didn't cover Liquid Television was because it was a multimedia show, only some of it was actually animated. But I do wish it had been included, there were at least a few other animated shorts in it besides Beavis & Butt-Head and Aeon Flux that were actually worthwhile. Although I guess another reason it's not included is because it's a b!tch and a half to find all the episodes.
Conner calling Alex by his actor's name (Gregory) from MTV downtown while showing a screenshot saying his name is Alex and then showing a the clip where his name is shown on the pillow is killing me.
I adore Daria. It definitely has it's problems though. It didn't adopt multi-episode long arcs or character development until way too late but each episode is still outrageously funny.
Here in Latin America, MTV used to show cartoon series such as South Park, the original Ren & Stimpy, Happy Tree Friends, alongside the original shows they produced. They also showed an original cartoon made in Argentina, which actually started as a web series made in Flash, Alejo & Valentina. I also remember that weird cartoon called "Sex Police" and Popetown
@@lori-EL here in Latin America, the only anime that was shown on MTV were those based on Marvel characters, I remember catching a glimpse of the Wolverine anime once. Curiously enough, MTV was pretty close to an anime channel in my cable provider list, that channel being Locomotion, which not only hosted anime shows like Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop, but also cartoons like South Park and Ren & Stimpy before MTV got the rights. Locomotion eventually became Animax and some years later anime became rare in the channel itself and it was rebranded as Sony Spin
@@Anonymous-oh4xw yeah, MTV Latin America used to show Happy Tree Friends shorts during commercial breaks like 20 years ago. I actually have a weird anecdote, when I was around 10 or so years old, back in '04 or '05, I went to the doctor and in the waiting room there was a television that had MTV on it and that was the first time I saw a HTF short, and they showed it in the morning. Sometime later MTV began showing HTV as a show in the afternoons on saturdays
same, I'm 39 and I'll love it for the rest of my life. My dad let me watch it with him when I was very younger, so it has sentimental value to me since he is no longer alive.
@@Trailblazer162 When I was 14, I didn't have cable. I had to watch it at friends' places or have them tape it for me. My sister ended up getting the entire series taped for me when they did a marathon before they cancelled it orginally.
Yeah that Peter Chung animation has always been both mesmerizing and odd. He did a Riddick cartoon, too. I remember Reign: The Conqurer being a fever dream and wondering how many people remembered that show playing late at night on Adult Swim or Toonami. AOUN Flux in particular popped back in my head when a live action movie was created for it.
Fun fact: Spider man the new animated series was animated by Mainframe studios, the same company that created Reboot along with Beast Wars: Transformers, and scary godmother films as well.
@@BinglesP yes but the version of it is the anniversary edition/X challenges Ultimate Armor which my most favorite alt version of the ultimate armor for X. 🔵⚪️
( 13:49 ) I remember how crazy to see Aeon Flux on TV since she wore an outfit so revealing that it would made Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire looked tame.
Beavis & Butt-Head premiered when I was 9 or 10, and was truly life changing stuff. Liquid Television was something I already watched when I shouldn't have, but B&B really grabbed me by the nads. Still one of my favorite shows to this day.
Same. I was way too young to be watching them. I was in maybe second grade watching them, and the weird crap like The Head, The Maxx, and Liquid Television. Years later I think my favs were a great goofy talk show hosted by sock puppets called Sifl and Olly, and Cartoon Sushi which was pretty much Liquid TV part 2
@@TheBrotherGrim I think my first exposure to MTV might've just been a couple years ago when I randomly found Ridiculousness. Now me and my family just put that on whenever we want some nice simple laughter
@bigjalapeno7061 Ha, nice! I haven't thought of that one in a while. It was a favorite of a really good friend back in the day. Always makes me think of him
Props for having 3 South on. Still a top 5 for me after all these years. I remember getting a VHS off eBay of the unaired episodes that was definitely dubbed from the master tapes 😂
RU-vid randomly recommended a channel that uploaded all episodes VERY recently (including the unaired ones in bad quality) , I loved the show as a kid and was one of those I was always waiting to come back but it never did. had some good laughs again.
You forgot Liquid Television, which Aeon Flux originally aired as a part of! Lots of weird animated shorts during that block. Winter Steele left the strongest/weirdest impression on me as a young child who was absolutely forbidden from watching MTV, mainly because of Beavis and Butthead and Madonna.
Beavis and Butthead had its first run. Then MTV brought it back in the 2000s for a couple of years and then Paramount plus aired another Beavis and Butthead movie snd started airing new episodes on Paramount plus so there on revival number 3
I'm surprised Liquid Television wasn't covered since it was where some of these shows originated (Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, etc). Especially since it predates something like Cartoon Sushi and had a similar format.
@@backwardsbrainslabs.148 he was still an icon of pop culture before that, he always has been. What you're referring to is the fact that CBMs weren't considered all that good before SM1
@@razorwing360 the show was launched by a CBM it has a direct impact on how it was regarded at the time and people probably had very little faith it would catch on, and being recognizable and iconic doesn't mean you are regarded well or are respected by the mainstream
Ended up watching all of daria a while back since i was curious. I was a senior in high school like her by the end of the series, and while there's a lot of episodes I could care less about, my overall opinion is that it's good, daria felt pretty rounded as a character. Loved this video!!
Video has only just started and I have no expectation for this, but if by some miracle Usavich made it on to this list, that'll be next-level respect from me.
MTV's animation was always skewed more toward an adult audience the first time I remember seeing a Beavis & Butthead episode was when I was about 9 y/o season 4 of the original run and somebody was babysitting my younger brother and I because our parents had gone somewhere
I went to elementary school with a kid who WAS Beavis. He looked and sounded like Beavis and had an equally dumb friend with brown hair, and they quoted the show constantly. I think one of them is a banker now.
Cool! Hehheheh! I don’t look like beavis but i can do his voice - one time i was hanging out with a friend… he made a ren and stimpy reference, i asked him about that and we got talking, he also liked beavis and butthead, he could do buttheads voice . So we sat there doing the characters voices.
back when Beavis and Butthead came out I was in the tail end of 5th grade and when our yearbooks came out, every kid who put Beavis and Butthead as their favorite show found that it had been changed to Ren and Stimpy because the school considered Butt to be a swear word.
Ha! You started off sponsoring the vid with Southern New Hampshire University! I just Graduated from IBM last night while passing my final exam on my laptop at a fucking bar. 9 certifications and all. Cybersecurity. I can even code in C++ and Java. Though Python (my best coding language) is where its at. But honestly Lua is king for game development! I think we need a video about people who managed to succeed without college. You Tubers with a likewise background could actually share some knowledge about it. There are things a non college head could teach a graduate. Whereas my challenged way of thinking required research. One isn’t worse than the other.
My college life was never the MTV Undergrads/Spring Break stereotype. I've graduated from 3 different schools, each with a different study. Two of them were on campus, my last one, IBM was online. And yes I'm still able to have a job and live on my own. It's only a scam when the administrators don't help the grads to find a career with their efforts (my first being Mid Florida Tech, yeah not helpful). But Valencia and IBM are good.
For Clone High, at least the first season, was ment to be parody of High school drama-esque shows so the characters were intentionally made basic/walking stereotypes. I'm not saying you'll enjoy the show because of that, but I just wanted to get that out.
*I didn’t grow up with MTV since I was born in Russia but I remember a time turning on the television on our school trip to US I was shocked since then I couldn’t get enough until my mid 20's.*
Good Vibes, Beavis & Butthead, Aeon Flux, Daria and Clone High were my all time favs. Even though they weren't always good shows, MTV did have better animated shows then Comedy Central with the exception of South Park & Drawn Together.
Oh man, Bevis and Butt-Head was a phenomenon. It was one of the most popular shows on MTV. I think the best way to describe it is like if there was a cartoon show in the movie Idiocracy (which was also created by Mike Judge). Just two idiots doing dumb stuff. I liked it but Daria was way better and that one actually has aged remarkably well. I would recommend everyone to Daria
MTV has the most kickass entertainment around the 1990's even classic 1980s music videos. Until this generation came and it sucks but luckily ViacomCBS brings back the MTV logo with the T gone longer and Beavis and Butthead returns with a vengeance. Now, my generation is back better than today's. Also Liquid Television, Beavis and Butthead, Daria, Celebrity Deathmatch and Aeon Flux were awesome. I wish if artists like from Cartoon Network to make coolest newer cartoons to bring back our generation. GREAT VID, MY MAIN MAN! WE GOT OUR MTV BACK THANKS TO YOU!
daria definitely spoke to me the most. i bought a boxset from a bestbuy bargain bin and rewatched the whole thing years ago. but the maxx was really something special.
there was a time in the early 90s that ren and stimpy ran on mtv, it was around the same time beavis and butthead first air its first season. these were not the adult party ones by spike though, but the original episodes that also aired on nicolodeon
He showed a little bit of Brother's Grunt, but didn't even mention it. It was even made by his boy! I also dont remember him mentioning Liquid Television.
Cannot mention The MAXX without the IZ (the eyeless insane moronic smiling very dark blue things) being the building blocks to the future of pop culture underlings and weirdo creatures, like the Rabbids (Rayman series) and Minions (Despicable Me) heavily draw inspiration from the IZ from both the comic and animated show of The MAXX. Also UnderGRADS Cal is the unsung hero of random wisdom mixed in with his "Hey Guy" catch phrase.
I rarely do this, but... as former kid who grew up on MTV (plus Nickelodeon, also VH1, HA!, basically all of the MTV Networks offerings), as well as a former employee of Viacom (the owners of MTV, now known as Paramount Global), the algorithm recommended this video due to it my habits. And I very much enjoy these kinds of docs, either by those who were there at the time and being reminded of the past, or seeing it via fresh eyes from someone who wasn't there at the time, and cuz thus provide a more objective/critical viewpoint, without being blinded by nostalgia. And... I cannot recall the last time I stopped the video so early on (at the 3:40 mark to be precise) and literally rushed to delete it from my watch history, to make sure no other videos from the account are recommended. Like, I know the excuse is going to be that this is not supposed to be taken as some historically accurate account, "it's just one person's take" (which we all know is total bullshit, an excuse that is peddled by all kinds of bad actors who thrive on the benefits of misinformation) but even in such instances SOME baseline research is standard procedure. tl;dr Beavis and Butthead was not MTV's first animated offering my dude.
Surprised you didn't mention Liquid Television; it was an animation showcase sort of in the vein of Cartoon Sushi, but even weirder and more eclectic (Aeon Flux actually started as a series of shorts on it, in fact). It predated Beavis and Butthead by a couple years.
Hearing these shows being called "edgy" when back then, they werent pushing any edge. It was just called cool and interesting. Crazy how things have shifted.
I was only 4 when Daria first aired on tv I watched it with my older sister and with our cousins I have the dvd collection box set and still watch them to this day
a little info on aeon flux, Peter Chung, the creator, was an animator of Rugrats for a long time. he actually created aeon flux as a creative output out of frustration in how stark in contrast his work with rugrats was. edit: just realized you missed the rugrats part of his work lol, kinda important considering it was were he was coming from at the time.
That Before and After episode in Downtown sounded too relatable to me. Though, I didn't get a S/O at the end, I couldn't really throw away all of the remnants of my childhood, especially the silliest knickknacks that hold sentimental values.
Thank you for the trip down memory lane! I really enjoyed this. And just to let you know how old I am without saying how old I am, when I was born, there were only 48 stars on the flag!
Those weren't random guitar sounds that Beavis and Butthead were making. Those were actually real songs they were rocking out to. Aerosmith-Walk This Way. Edgar Winter Group-Frankenstein. Black Sabbath-Iron Man. (This was how I discovered Black Sabbath)
Daria was television’s first hipster, and the show dug at the soul of Gen X more than anything else before it-or after, really. P.S. I never noticed this back then, but Celebrity Deathmatch had a real Mortal Kombat-esque vibe to it.
So For Clone High, there being a satire of those later 90s early 2000s shows like Dawson's Creek and Boy Meets World. Each of the clones are different satires of regular sterotypes in those shows. The clueless everyman main character, the childhood emo best friend who likes the mc, the short wild comedy relief best friend, the dumb jerk jock and the pretty popular girl who the mc wants. However, based off their popularity, the characters leaned less or leaned more into their clone parents. JFK acted hopefully and outspoken as well as being a ladies man similar to the real JFK which is why he was popular. Joan acted less like her clone mother and acted more as her own person which is why she wasn't popular and ect. The jokes are that the stereotypes like Abe's obliviousness and not noticing Joans feelings even when she straight up tells him are making fun of the actual shows mtv would show. I honestly don't fuck with the reboot either, it lit shits on everything the original did. Fine if u don't like it but that's why the characters acts the way they do
Me: sees the title and thinks "Huh. What an interesting find. I'll watch it later." Also me: F*! I gotta say it! I passed matric, baby! I passed! Also also me: Whenever I hear MTV, I think "Ridiculousness".
It is worth mentioning that in the 2000s Brazil had its own MTV cartoon called Fudêncio and his gang,This show had 4 seasons and almost became lost media, but the episodes were partially found. If you want to take a look, it's complete on RU-vid, but I don't know if you'll understand the jokes here in Brazil XD.
