I Am Weasel was a show that was popular when it aired and was considered better than Cow & Chicken (hence why it even got a spinoff in the first place), but these days, its considered one of THE worst Cartoon Network shows ever and is hated on the internet, particularly /co/ who calls it "meh" or "terrible". It got the point where it lost to MGPAM in a CN poll, and we call agree that show is much, much worse.

The funny thing is nobody ever explains why its a bad show. At its core, its about Weasel and Baboon having different jobs/roles in every episode, ranging from vikings, gladiators, cavemen, vampires, worker bees etc.. Structured similiar to Golden Age cartoons. The overall setup is too simple to be bad and it offers enough variety, clever gags and interesting set pieces to be a fun watch. Nobody ever considers Droopy and Dripple or Timon and Pumbaa bad cartoons for following a similiar formula. Hell, Tingblad Bravo followed this formula, and many consider it better than the Partible seasons.

Also Michael Dorn as Weasel is fantastic casting, that guy has a great voice.

The funny thing is that the staff who worked on it still remembers it after 3 decades and praises it, so I imagine /co/ just have shit taste. Even Bob Camp himself gave it praise.

Even the people currently working at CN today (Benjamin Anders, worked on Craig of the Creek, Fiona and Cake) used it for promo art. So why all the hate?

Fred Seibert praised it despite not being part of What A Cartoon, only existing when Cow and Chicken was a series as the middle cartoon. It is also the very last new series by Hanna-Barbera, before Cartoon Network Studios opened in May 2000.

>The overall setup is too simple to be bad and it offers enough variety
It was too formulaic and predictable to be enjoyable.
And if doesn't stand out because the examples you compare it to are much more clever versions of the dynamic and had far better animation.
I Am Weasel isn't a bad show but it makes me wish I was watching Droopy.

/co/ never talks about Droopy and Dripple either (the 90s versions featured in Tom and Jerry Kids, not the original 1940s shorts). What gives?

Also kys, it was far more surreal and had more meta humor.

Latin America still loves it, a youtuber is doing a Jaimico Awards every year, named after I.R. Baboon.

Johnny Bravo doesn't look as fluid or dynamic, don't lie to yourself. Even Tingblad said he was given a small budget. Also Feiss did animation for T&J Kids and Droopy, so you have to thank him for that.

Weasel was the host of Big Pick 2001, years after the show ended. Funny how he introduces Grim & Evil when Max Atoms worked on this.

The composer of the series has every episode on his website. How often do you see that?

What's there to talk about?
A lot of the time, a lack of discussion is just because there's no controversy.

You're right, sorry for implying that Jonny Bravo was actually good. It was also mediocre. I was mostly referring to your other examples.

>Also Feiss did animation for T&J Kids
I'm not going to thank him for T&J Kids of all fucking things, you can fuck right off.

I meant the animation quality fucker, JB is visually cheaper looking. Most of the characters have dot eyes and Johnny and his Mama wear sunglasses to not animate their eye expressiveness.

Good gags and lines? McWolf is a funny ass character. Hell, even Miss Vavoom is a hottie. You would think a CARTOON board would respect the classic characters instead of whatever gay, tranny shit that is trending. Shitty Hazbin and Owl House spammers

>the final episode of I Am Weasel has Weasel finding out he was a cartoon all along and willingly ends his own show after finding out that the everyone in the world spends all their time watching his show instead of going outside and living their lives. >this backfires, and it's revealed that I.R. Baboon was the reason they watched "I Am Weasel" and never found Weasel funny in the slighest. >this is a callback to the theme song "You don't need pants for the victory dance, for Baboon's better than Weasel! I.R. Baboon big star of cartoon!". Suggesting that Baboon truly was the star and hero of the show, while Weasel barged in on his plane to try and take Baboon's glory. >as a bonus, the finale is based on "I Am Legend", and David Feiss said in an interview that he got the title I Am Weasel from that book, meaning that the show started and ended from the same source material. This show is way smarter than I thought, why do so many hate it? You can tell the writers knew their work.

Season 1 was mediocre, but it got retooled in Season 2 since it got too stale. Weasel and Baboon became friends, the humor got upped, new characters were introduced, and Red Gyy became an antagonist. Soms say he’s forced, but there are still plenty of episodes without Red.

Great one liners too, they mentioned Bugs Bunny Khaki Jones by name.

Had a cameo on Teen Titans Go THIS YEAR! Baboon was also featured in Jellystone! This is the first time I.R. Baboon has appaeared outside I Am Weasel, Weasel is usually the one that makes cameos.

I'm gonna be honest, I actually love Cow and Chicken and think it's better than Ren and Stimpy, but I was never a big fan of IM Weasel. Both the middle segments and the full series are just not as funny as Cow and Chicken and it's telling that they had to add the Red Guy in order to make it work.

Nobody talks about this show anymore, plain and simple. Why is the I.M. Weasel ultra-fan club appearing to pretend this show didn't go the way of any average Cartoon Cartoon? Is it just contrarianism?
