    The Top 5 Weirdess Cartoons Ever!!!

    Now I have an enormous cartoon collection both on bootleg and actual release. I'm talking hundreds of complete series!! I have been watching so many lately that some have turned up to be so bizarre that after I was done watching them I would scratch my head and wonder what the makers of the cartoons were smoking. So I decided to put a list down and see what some of you other toon fans think and what other cartoons you may want to add. So without further ado, here is my

    TOP 5 Weirdest/Wacky/head scratching/questionable/ Cartoons ever made!!!!


    5. Fred And Barney Meet the Thing (1979)

    I know this cartoon has been talked about before. And out of all the Marvel toons, this one will always pop up as a questionable toon and try to comprehend what Hanna and Barbera were thinking when they changed directions on what the Thing actually was in the comics to this kid friendly (or is it madman friendly) cartoon. Lovable teenager, Benji Grimm puts his two rings together and becomes the Thing!! But even this campy cartoon has nothing on the intro. What the hell is Fred and Barney doing hanging out with the Thing? What do they have in common other than toon hijinks? I'll never know and I don't want to!! Believe it or not, this toon also ranks in my top 10 best cartoons ever!!! I can watch it over and over and I always do. But that doesn't mean it's not a weird and wacky cartoon. Watch the episode when the Thing thinks he is a duck...you'll never look at the Ever lovin Blue-eyed Thing the same way again. It's fabulous!!!

    4. The Gary Coleman Show (1982-1983)

    Another toon that always makes the loony list. Where it is a toon based on the Gary Coleman made for t.v. movie "The Kid With the Broken Halo." Some things changed up from the movie, but this toon still ranks up with any wacky list. It just has too!! And it is yet another toon that I LOVE and can watch over and over! I love Gary Coleman (R.I.P. buddy) and I always will. One time at a convention back in 2007 I met Gary and told him how much I loved this toon. You could tell he thought I was kidding and trying to heckle him, but I was serious!!! So no matter what anyone says about you Gary or this toon, I love it and you forever. But man, it's still a weird one brotha.

    3. The Brady Kids (1972-1974)

    Not a common toon that people remember or watch but if you ever do, make sure your not on drugs!!! There is no need for them! You'll be out of your mind plastered after just one episode!!! For each episode takes the Brady kids on adventures with there animal friends (a dog, two pandas, and a cookoo bird that has magic??) where at the end of every episode they sing a song that is good for the whole family. But unlike the previous two toons, this one is kinda hard to watch. Especially when your trying to watch a whole season. Try it, I bet you can't. And if you got the stomach to try and watch an episode I'll recommend the Superman ep where all the animals find out that Clark Kent is Superman and all the humans are too Brady stupid to. No wonder the real life Brady actor's agent refused them to do the next season of voice over for these Filmation toons. He must have saw the devastation that this toon might do to there futures in the acting biz!! It's a masterpiece when it comes to wacky.

    2. Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling (1985-1986)

    When I was a kid, I can remember counting down the days till the fall season when this toon was going to air!! Well, you can imagine my disappointment when I saw the first episode on that Saturday morning. No fighting, no wrestling, no nothing!! I kinda got into the hi-jinks the wrestler's got into as well as some of the real wrestler's promos that aired throughout the show. But even for my kid brain, it was bad. And a little boring to boot. Now fast forward into my adulthood, I thought I was wiser and would love the horribleness of it when I got the complete series on bootleg. After watching it for a while, I found it hard to get through ANY episode. And then thinking about it. These wrestler's just went around town dressed up in their garb, driving around in those horrible cars and did stuff. They looked like fools!! Almost as big as a fool as me for watching this thing and dozing off due to boredom. Sorry Hulk Hogan, I'll always be a big time fan, but I just can't get into this toon and all the craziness in it. Too weird, too boring, too much!!!

    1. The Super Globetrotters (1979)

    Okay, now nothing but nothing all these other weird toons have on this list can compare to this one...NOTHING!!! I always remembered the Globetrotters on The Scooby Doo Movies and the Harlem Globetrotters, but when they got their very own superhero toon in 1979 I missed it as a kid. I was probably watching the Superfriends. Thank god I was because I would've been F@&KED UP!!! As I finally got this series on bootleg a few weeks ago, I thought I would have the pleasure to watch it and get a laugh and a little entertainment. I got more than I bargained for!!! It was just so freaking weird and scary all at the same time!! I swear, I don't know what Hanna and Barbera were thinking when this hit the air. A talking basketball called the Crimeglobe that told the Trotters of danger (and was annoying as hell)? A Globetrotter team that turned into a bunch of jive supa fools when they became superheroes and had some of the most lamest superpowers and look (the Trotter with the shyat in the afro was cool though)? And every episode was the same! They had to defeat the enemy in a basketball game against monsters and creeps (Even Attila the Hun and the Huns???) where they are always losing the first half and then turn into their superhero alias's and then win the game. What the hell am I watching??? I don't get it?? And even as an adult, I NEVER WILL!!! I can stomach a few episodes in a row before I have enough. Go ahead and try to watch a few of these, you'll forget your name, your car, your whole world. I'm speaking the truth!!

    My wife picked up both season of She Ra recently. Wow. Simply wow. Talk about the most disturbing premise for the final show... Swiftwind has a wife and they have a baby.?!? The first question that crossed my mind is "What about when he's just the horse? Does he have another regular family" "Could She' Ra's trusted steed actually be a bigamist?"

          Don't forget the Dukes of Hazzard cartoon.

          2 seasons...Season one with Coy and Vance, Season two with Bo and Luke, and yes they re-drew the opening!



          but can anything really beat:
          Gilligan's Planet? The castaways couldn't build a boat or even a raft to make it to the mainland... but they build a spaceship?

            And while not a cartoon, my daughter would run screaming from the room if this showed up. Seriously, she would cry & shake uncontrollably. She loved the show otherwise.:

                  The Bashki Spiderman 60's cartoons are incredibly whacked. Especially for being on 60's Saturday Morning TV

                          Those 60's Spider-man's were weird, especially from the second season. But This Spidey toon ranks on my 4th all time best ever!!! I loved it soooooooo much as a kid.

                          Here is the Spidey racist episode where Spidey calls a black Aborigine a doggie and starts to whistle at him. This is a black eye in Spider-man history. Check it out at about 3:50 in.

                              How about Pro-Stars w/ Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson as crime fighters?
