Incredibly obscure cartoons

Quicky Koala featuring the Bum Hole Brothers was the worst thing Hanna Barbera put their name to. Ungodly bad.

 

Does anyone remember the Robotic Three Stooges? I never have met anyone else who has, so quite where Dad got his bootleg copy featuring that and episodes of Rick I don't know. Nothing exemplifies a divorcee parent week end more than that fucking tape. "Dad, can we go to the cinema?". "No, I'm skint, watch this instead, it's definitely better than Space Jam".

Jesus, that's an obscure one, Gus. I had heard of the Robonic Three Stooges, in a timeline of everything Hanna Barbera had produced, but I can't believe you had the actual tape. What's Rick?

 

Anyone remember Filmation's Ghostbusters? They'd produced an excruciating live-action show in the 70s, and dusted off the concept when they (allegedly) got stiffed over producing the cartoon version of the 80s movie. I remember absolutely loving it when I was on a shit holiday in Corfu in about 1987, I wonder how it holds up now.

Not a cartoon, but another show I only saw through a haze of waking up at 4am on a Saturday in 1986 was Quaq Quao — I was sure that no-one else had ever seen it, but in the mid 2000s I always used to run into this dull Aussie bird at the same events, and the only thing we "bonded" over was that we'd both seen Quaq Quao. I swear she opened at least two conversations with "seen any more Quaq Quao?".

 

Is this any relation to Mio Mao? Very similar vibes.

I tuned into the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon the other day and they now seem to be based on a spaceship with a quirky robot companion.

I haven't watched much of this version of TNNT but from what I've read up, they are only on the spaceship with Fugitoid for the first 13 episodes of this current season, the show has recently introduced the Super Shredder not seen since the second 90s film

Ric the Raven. So shit I couldn't even remember the name correctly. I'm on my phone so cant, but there are some episodes on YouTube if you really feel like self-mutilating this evening.

 

I haven't a clue where my Dad bought this bollocks. That, random Father Ted episodes, races from Grand Prix seasons in the late 80's, that episode of Morph that he'd accidentally taped over with soft-core pornography.

Ox Tales is one show that in my circles I am the only bugger to remember. I get exceptionally strange looks when explaining the show and that there was a gorilla character called Gay Lord.

God, I remember that one. Great source of amusement at school was Gaylord.

Oh, just the first thirteen episodes? Of all the times to watch, trust my luck to go and catch it in that one little standalone quarter-year of programming.  :sneaky:

Eeeh Nostalgia, good to see shouts for Ox Tales, Samurai Pizza Cats and Potsworth...

 

It's stuff like The Mighty Orbots, Moschops, Earthworm Jim, and Fantastic Max that get lost in the mix.

 

Add to that the usual array of Thunderbirds 2086, Diplodos, Bionic Six, Sports Billy, Pacman and yeah lots of one hit or, rather cheap imports that made up the numbers

Big Shoe - Cracking shout on galaxy high. One of my fav themes ever:

I'm a big fan of 30's style cartoons, which usually feature an obvious or hidden message. Two of my all time favs are:

Small Fry: https://youtu.be/VXrCMDoQbtQ

 

and Play Safe: https://youtu.be/AUrOCEt3Olo

 

both of which were on a crackers 80's cartoon classic VHS.
