I have to admit, Johnny was one of the coolest looking cartoon characters back then. The cool fiery hair, the shirt with the radioactive symbol. That kid was literally the embodiment of cool.
Johnny test was basically a guilty pleasure show for me. It wasn't extremely bad but not something special either. I did enjoy the original run enough being a reverse Dexter's laboratory where we follow the non smart sibling instead of the smart ones(same hair too) The cast was enjoyable when the story was good and I loved the fact that johnny actually was able to make former enemies into friends like the bee keeper and vegan Darth Vader just by being nice or pointing out something to change thier perspective
it being a reversed version of Dexter's laboratory was one of the reasons i didn't like the show growing up i also found a peculiarly father very annoying
The netflix revival is probably the most faithful revival i have EVER seen. I mean if it wasnt for a new art style you would never have known it was revival. It feels exactly the same but just more polished and has better writing. The tone and feeling of johnny test is still very in tact and it has the best animation in the series. Its beautiful. I hope netflix didnt cancel the show, it has been a long time since it aired and still no news.
I remember liking Johnny Test as a kid and then watching it a few years later and it feeling like a completing different and worse show. It was really confusing, this definitely explains what happened.
Since you’re also showing cartoons that are still going to this day, revival or not, I would LOVE to see you do a “WAIT... Remember Ninjago?” episode. That show started in 2011 and recently finished its FIFTEENTH season! And it’s still continuing on into 2023, which is *wild* for a serialized animated show to achieve. But what’s even more insane is despite Ninjago’s impressive longevity, hardly ANYONE talks about it, hell, most people probably thought it ended after the season 2 finale... y’know, the finale that happened about a decade ago? Ninjago currently has 2 series (both canon and in the same continuity), at least four games, several comics series and novels (a good portion being canon), plays, two Twitter novels, a motley of canon and non-canon shorts on RU-vid, and do I even need to mention the toy line? It has such an impressive breadth of content, and yet, most people ignore it. So yeah, I think it’d be really cool for a relatively popular channel to actually give the show some coverage because it’s very underrated.
@@luckylol That’s funny because a lot of people I’ve seen stop or get burnt out at season 7, which is right before seasons 8-10, which is considered by many to be the peak of the series.
ITS STILL GOING?!?!?!? my little brother was obsessed with that show, i dont know which seasons ive seen, but boy ive seen a lot. been like 6 or more years since i last saw an episode
Johnny Test was one of the more popular shows in my animation college. Especially in Flash class. They would always use it as reference material. So glad to see it getting love again. Been a couple years since I saw a new video on the subject on RU-vid.
Johnny Test was legit a recurring watch during my early teen years. Always had a lot of fun watching it in CN back then, to the point of almost always catching new episodes on premiere, due to how wacky it was. Kinda upset when I found out about its infamy within the general cartoon community (didn't even mind the animation change imo) but it's good that it's getting some more positive vibes recently thanks to other people who grew up with the show.
I loved this show as a kid and I still do. I watched it so much as a kid and I never noticed the whipcracks until people pointed it out but i've become immune to it.
This was one of those shows you’d get home from school, turn on Cartoon Network and get some laughs for a bit. The humor wasn’t amazing but it had its moments and I definitely appreciated it as a kid. I had no idea Netflix rebooted it but that is the least surprising thing I’ve seen. Appreciate this video Jordan, keep up the great work!
During the dark times of Cartoon Network, Johnny Test was much needed. Sure some episodes fall flat on plot but the rest was pretty good with the pool of characters such as Bling Bling Boy.
This show! I remember this show! Used to love watching it when I was younger. The theme song is what I remember most. It’s been engraved in my mind ever since.
Thanks for these memorable videos, Jordan. I didn't think I'd forget Johnny Test, but all those memories from middle school keep coming back. This Fringemas has been so generous!!
Around the time Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were popular, my brother would walk off with my Action Replay for infinite Rare Candies and Master Balls so he could battle his friends. He eventually got me into it. On the way to school, one of his friends talked about Gyarados. Johnny Test helped him explain why I should bother with Magikarp, even though it had no attacks. It's strange that this show led me indirectly to competitive Pokémon, but having a one-to-one example helped me understand base stats and evolutions.
Johnny Test and Lord of the Rings have the two most difficult drinking challenges I've ever attempted. Take shot every time you hear the 'whip crack' sound effect for Johnny Test. A shot for every time a magical race is mentioned in LotR
i actually screamed when i saw you were covering johnny test lol i adore this show! i definitely get why people don't like it, but i can't help but love its charm
🎄On the ninth day of Fringemas, Jordan gave to us. Nine Johnny testin, Eight trios traveling, Seven siblings saving, Six deals at Wu's, Five Kids with Kats, Four super stoked, Three best friends, Two days of weekend, and a girl who was raised by bugs 🎄 Thanks you for your christmas gift to us :)
I didn't even know there was a new one but watching the show as a kid was just one of my favorite things ever it almost felt like a Dexter's laboratory that was made for me and my generation really loved it it was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I'm really happy that you finally got around to covering it brings me a lot of joy to go through all of these memories keep up the great work can't wait to see what is tomorrow's episode
I didn't really like this show growing up, but my #1 favorite voice actor James Arnold Taylor voices Johnny, and he's one of the sole reasons that voice acting is my dream job
This is a show I thought I remembered fondly, but watching your video really dug up a lot of memories about the show I forgot. I’m realizing I barely remembered the show at all which is sad because I watched it so much and so much of my childhood is tied to it (as I remember the show more I remember more of when I was younger).
As many of the series that I watched throughout my childhood, johny test has a hige nostalgic value for me and I remember it as being perfect, even if in reality it s probably not
I was never a fan of the series even when the Netflix series came out. But I do enjoy the intro music to the show just because my friend would play it over and over again when we would hang out. Also, this Fringemas has been amazing!
Anyone that remembers this show remembers the best sound effect ever! The whip crack! But in serious this show was a major guilty pleasure for me. It was pretty much the TTG of the mid to late 2000s era as it was on all the time. And let me tell you it is actually a very entertaining show. The show got TONS of hate but I actually enjoyed it and still do to this day. Yeah the later episodes weren't the best but so as many other shows that went on too long lol
NEVER in my childhood do I remember those whip crack sounds, but they're there alright. Quite a few people did math in other videos I've watched on the whip crack sfx and one video someone counted every crack in a single episode. it came out to 190 cracks
I remember I never could decide how I felt about this show. It wasn't something I loved but I wouldn't turn it off if it came on next. But it'd probably go on the list of cartoons I'd show my kid when I have one.
I loved Johnny Test as a kid. While it wasn’t one of my favorite shows like Generator Rex, Crash & Bernstein, Max Steel, or Ben 10 it’s nice to see another one of my childhood shows still being produced. I thought Ninjago was the only one to do this. I definitely have to check out the revival now!
Johnny Test is one of the many shows that i could never forget, it was a pretty decent show for it's time! and personally i like the original Johnny Test series more the Netflix reboot was good too but you can't beat the classics as they say.
Fun Fact: The original composer for the show, Kevin Manthei, also composed the music for: Invader Zim, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, Xiolin Showdown, and at least some of the music for generator rex and ben 10.
(Insert Whip Crack Here) All jokes aside, I honestly enjoyed this show as kid and never really understood the hate for it. It was chaotic and fun! It didn’t take itself seriously and so did I. Thanks for covering it!
The title implies as if this could have been forgotten. And yet I have tried so many times to forget about this show. The whip cracks, the overuse "didn't see it coming" that was seen a mile away jokes. This show literally dominated a cable network channel, how could anyone forget this Show? This show had been burned into memory, it can't be forgotten. Suppressed at best.
Watched this show on Kids WB & CN, have very good memories with this show & rewatched it as recently as 2019 while I lived in my last apartment, I remember coming home from school & watching it while I ate a after school snack, it’s one of those shows that I will never forget because it got meme’d to hell
Honestly, yeah. How could we forget? It was on Cartoon Network for so long during the remainder of the early 2000s. Only to come back last year in the form of a reboot. The show used to be a show I honestly liked watching back when it was in Kids WB. The first season was its best season and the best animated season. I get nostalgia every time I think about it.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW, THE ONLY SHOW THAT I ACTUALLY STILL REMEMBER AND HOLD DEEPLY IN MY HEART, ITS SO FUNNY, ENTERTAINING, AND JUST A VERY GOOD SHOW TO WATCH!!!! I hate the hate surrounding the show, its undeserved, the whip racks aren't even that bad, heck I actually like that about the show, its like its signature track, I wish Mary tho gets an episode about herself, she's often left out.
I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!!! It was my life and still is as I have always thought that Johnny Test was an amazing show on Cartoon Network as I felt like I was being seen in him as I was like him when I was little because I sometimes was just like him 😅
I watched the original as a kid, I honestly really liked it, but I have ABOSOLUTELY no recollection of what seasons I was watching then. The one with Johnney Applesauce was my favorite growing up lmao. I always was under the impression that it was a great show. And seeing how the creator also made BIG TIME RUSH, literally my #1 favorite TV show, it's easy for me to see how. The creator of Big Time always did have an abundance of sound effects in his shows, I always adored (some of) them growing up, but honestly, I remember them more fondly in Big Time than Ned's Survival Guide or Johnny Test. That's just my thoughts though
Honestly I think it worked super well because it was cartoon junkfood. The episodes didnt really have anything special, it was just lights and sounds but coherent enough to entertain kids. I know I'd watch it when i got home from school and enjoy it every time cause it was like... 3 episodes before it'd move on to another show. I really appreciate the new series using the original art style tho I personally find the colored outlines a lil confusing but thats probably just nostalgia goggles.
Johnny Test is special to me because it kinda changed the way kid me viewed animation. I would only watch ''Girl cartoons'' and refused to watch any other kind of cartoon. One day my cousins came over and they watched Johnny Test. I sat down and watched with them and i loved it. After that day i started watching everyting. I loved the anime-ish art style of some cartoons (Bakugan, Monsuno, Beyblade, Generator Rex, Ben 10, Avatar etc.) so much i started drawing every day. Now i'm a freshman animation school and it's all thanks to Johnny Test lol.
It was a "religious" tradition to watch JT every single weekday after elementary and middle school between 2009 and 2014. And ever since OK KO was finished due to a major mess at Warner media, I reverted back to Test and I explored and enjoyed a shitload of Canadian cartoons. Johnny may be the cool kid that made everyone super stupidly jealous because of how he looks and how he feels as a character, but he will forever be an icon to my childhood.
The amount of whip cracks in this show is overwhelming. I once watched a guy on twitch watch an episode of Johnny Test and everytime there was a whip crack sound effect, he would take a sip of alcohol. 2 minutes in and he had taken 25 sips.
I may not watch every episode but I can't believe it's already been a year since I've found your channel I used to watch the 25 days of fringemas last year. Keep up the good work!
I loved this show. My favorite episodes were Johnny Vs Bling Bling Boy 3 because of the Looney Tunes part in the episode. JTV because it always made me wonder if I made a tv show and it nailed it. The Pokemon episodes (specifically the 2nd one).The reason why is I love anime and Johnny Test nailed it down. Johnny Applesauce because I love the comedy in the episode and the song Dukey sings. Finally, the first two episodes with Brain Freezer because in the first episode, Bling Bling Boy got a win and whenever I watch that episode and how he got treated later on, it feels nice. The second episode was awesome because the final minutes was so good because it caught me off guard.
I did like that the show had Mom working and Dad staying at home, showing that either parent could do these things. We all know this in real life, but it was nice to see the trope of Dad working and Mom staying at home being poked at
There’s a very special place in my heart for Johnny test it was my childhood and a nice comfort show to still watch at least my favourite episodes and the theme song
Who could forget Johnny Test? Before Gumball and TTG, it was THE filler between all the good shows like Regular Show, Adventure Time, Mystery Inc, etc. Except this time, it was actually good. It wasn't just another filler cartoon from Canada, it had snappy wit and crazy characters punctuated by whipcracks at every second. I miss it, now there's nothing on CN anymore
i specifically remember rewatching the episode where they want to spend all day in their hotel room but their dad won’t let them AND the one where they all race to target. this show had the best vibes
Man, this show was and still is my favourite show to shape my childhood. In fact, Johnny Test helped me boost my art career and gain a lot of confidence. Not to mention, the very small fandom made me meet new friends along the way. Even though I love all versions of the series (even though I haven't played the DS game yet), it surely has a special place in my heart and it shows on my artworks, concepts and so on. Of course, I know the flaws, but frankly what form of media doesn't? I'll continue my contributions to the series and the small fandom with my creativity and curiosity. Sincerely from the second-biggest Johnny Test fan (My best friend, TheLivingBlueJay holds the accolade of the even bigger one), PrismaGalaxy514.
I actually quite loved Johnny Test when I was younger. I wasnt too fond of the fart jokes, the constant whip crack, or the switch to Flash animation (even if that part was probably done to save money). But, I was fond of the characters, their roles and personalities, and their interpersonal dynamics. And despite not being much of a STEM girl (unless a technology obsession counts), Susan and Mary's experiments were often my favorite part of an episode. I had no idea there was a Netfliz revival! I may give it a watch after I rewatch the original series sometime. P.S. I was today years old when I learned Ashleigh Ball was a VA in Johnny Test 🥴
In middle school I went on a field trip in which we went to an arts centre, and the studio that animated Johnny test had a presentation. At the end of the presentation they gave away an animation cel to a random student, I've always wondered what happened to that cel lol
I'm officially new to this channel, however it feels like whenever I think of an old show to introduce my younger siblings to BAM; there is a video to remind me. Thank You Mr Fringe.
I have an extremely interesting memory of this show. I was like 4 and my mom dropped me off in the middle of nowhere to a woman’s house. She was browsing through Netflix and I asked if we could watch Courage the Cowardly Dog. She just said “They aren’t nice to the dog” and just turned on Johnny Test while I ate taffy. I feel like this memory never happened, but at the same time it feels so real
For the longest time, I assumed that this entire show was just a long, drawn out fever dream I had considering nobody even acknowledged it exists until I saw this video.
this show was a guilty pleasure of mine when i was younger, now that im older i think the hate is very over blown particularly towards the animation, like its not great but season 1 at the least was hand drawn and not enough people talk about that its really nice looking
My Cousin is friends with Ashleigh Ball, one of the voices for Mary. I've only met her once when she dropped off her car at my Dad's place when she was going to a My Little Pony convention here in Vancouver. She voices Rainbowdash and Applejack in that.
I didn't think this was old enough to be in your "Wait... Remember" series. I think there's still some shows from the 90's or early 2000's you could cover, like Beast Wars with their wonky early CG, or Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, or Teen Titans
You’re amazing for dropping a video every day till Christmas. I in fact, did hate this show 😂😂😂😂 I’ll definitely take your advice and check the Netflix series out. Hopefully it’s a better experience
I feel like a rarity in that I genuinely enjoy the show while also agreeing every single criticism is true, and I mean ALL of them. Honestly what think the show did best but never embraced was escalating scenarios to absolute chaos, without it feeling out of place, make me question or feel cheated how we got there. It’s a show where one minute it’s about trying to make the word’s best sandwich and it’ll somehow turn into stopping meat monsters from taking over the world. I haven’t watched the Netflix show, mostly not having the money to subscribe to a streaming service, so If it does embrace the chaos more I’d like hear it.
Johnny Test was fire. I clearly remember watching it on Cartoon Network back in the day. Fun fact, this show was created by Scott Fellows. If you dont know who Scott Fellows is, He created both Ned's Declassfied and Big Time Rush for Nickelodeon.
