Link to part one:Oh Yeah! Cartoons Retrospective Part 1 of 2

Continuing after the first 39 entries for my Oh Yeah! Cartoons retrospective when I had to split things up once I found out my description was exceeding the allowed length.

40. MINA AND THE COUNT

A series of shorts by Rob Renzetti, which stand out due to originating on Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon.

The plot is that a girl named Mina befriends a vampire called the Count. They prove to be very close friends and do whatever they can to defend each other.

The original pilot was on What a Cartoon and titled "Interlude with a Vampire", where the Count (Mark Hamill) finds that because Igor (Jeff Bennett) meddled with his schedule of victims, he went to the house of a young girl named Mina (Ashley Johnson) by mistake.

Rob Renzetti had high hopes for Mina and the Count, and it was apparently planned to be a segment on Dexter's Laboratory before The Justice Friends was pitched, but alas Cartoon Network wasn't interested.

When Renzetti started participating in Oh Yeah! Cartoons, he seized the opportunity to give Mina and the Count another go. The only casting change was that Mina was now voiced by Tara Strong.

The first Oh Yeah! short was "The Ghoul's Tribunal", where the Count was put on trial for being friends with a human, but Igor gets him off the hook by convincing the jurors and judge that Mina is actually a werewolf.

The second short was "The Vampire Who Came to Dinner", where Mina asked the Count to come over to her house for dinner. Mina's sister Lucy (Candi Milo) becomes infatuated with the Count, while Mina's dad (Michael Bell) is just confused.

The third short "Playing a Hunch" had Igor force the Count into avoiding Mina.

The penultimate short was "My Best Friend", where Mina was picked on for talking about her friendship with the Count in school and the Count ends up helping her stand up to her bully Nick (Robbie Rist).

The final short was called "Frankenfrog" and had a panic arise when Mina put a frog back together and brings it to life as a Frankenstein monster. Things only get back to normal when THE Frankenstein's monster shows up and makes the creature his pet.

It's a real shame this couldn't have been its own series, and what's especially heartbreaking is that the legal issues of the original shorts (the first pilot being owned by Cartoon Network and the rest by Nickelodeon) make both a revival and a home media release impossible.

41. THE KID FROM S.C.H.O.O.L.

Another entry from Bob Boyle, the main character is a kid secret agent named Jake Slade (Jason Marsden), working for Secret Command Headquarters Of Official Law Enforcement.

A creepy kid genius named Simon Cerebellum (Dee Bradley Baker) causes havoc at the prom and wants to force the president of the school council (Grey DeLisle-Griffin) to be his date, but Jake Slade defeats him in the end.

42. THE FORGOTTEN TOYBOX: CURSE OF THE WEREBABY

Another entry by Michael Patrick Bell. This short was a spoof of the horror anthology genre where the horror host was a sentient ventriloquist dummy named Mr. Beasley (Daran Norris), who rummages through the titular forgotten toybox to show off a sinister plaything related to whatever tale of terror he wishes to tell the audience.

The story of Curse of the Werebaby begins with Mr. Beasley showing a cute baby doll. The main character of the story is a very selfish and immature man named Stanley Grunt (Jeff Bennett). After he rudely refuses to give up his seat to an old man, he gets his finger bitten by a mother's baby, which amuses all three of them (but makes him whine like a baby due to finding no amusement in his own suffering).

The doll being held by the baby that bit Stanley then curses him to transform into an adult-size infant (with cooing done by Dee Bradley Baker). He grows to gigantic proportions after consuming cow milk and climbs a building, but is eventually stopped when an ice cream truck's jingle is used to lull him to sleep. Stanley wakes up thinking this was just a dream, but then bawls how he truly is just a big baby after he sniffs the air and notices he's wearing a dirty diaper, the story then closed by Mr. Beasley chillingly warning us to remember to act our ages.

As a huge fan of horror anthologies, I'm disappointed this short wasn't as lucky as The Fairly OddParents, ChalkZone and My Life as a Teenage Robot were.

43. A DOG AND HIS BOY

Another short by Carlos Ramos.

The short stars a boy named Truman Clock (Nancy Cartwright) and his highly intelligent dog (voiced by the late Gary Owens, I believe), who both go on a mission to save the Earth with guidance from Truman's dad Joe Clock (Jeff Bennett).

44. LOLLYGAGGIN

Another short by Guy Vasilovich. The short is narrated by Jennifer Darling and tells the story of a girl named Lollygaggin (Nicole Saletta), who finds herself in deep trouble for her habit of lying.

A tiny fib creature (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) appears out of nowhere and grows bigger (and changes to being voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) the more Lollygaggin continues to fib. Only by telling the truth to her parents (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui and Marsha Clarke) is she able to stop the monster.

45. THE DAN DANGER SHOW

Yet another entry by Butch Hartman and the last entry of Oh Yeah! Cartoons to have multiple shorts.

The premise behind The Dan Danger Show is that Dan Danger (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is an action hero with his own show and a reputation of being one brave and tough hunk, but the truth is that he's constantly afraid of everything. Only by his biggest fan Ruthie (Ana Noelle Curzon) reminding him that he can't let down the children who look up to him is Dan able to persevere and face his fears.

The other people involved in Dan's show are Ruthie's mother Deb (Loretta Fox) and the show's producer Mr. Shuttlecock (Red Grant).

The first short has him conquer his fear of flying and prevent a disaster by the skin of his teeth.

In the second short "Danger 101", Dan finds out that he has to go back to school to make up for a day of gym class he missed, but is horrified by having to face his old bully Robert Shmobert (Brad Garrett) again, who's still there due to his inability to pass the seventh grade. He manages to overcome the brutal challenges and earn the respect of Robert, who humorously also turns out to be the father of the school's current gym coach (voiced by Jim Cummings).

In "A Lighter Shade of Danger", Dan Danger goes to his hometown to celebrate the 21st birthday of his older brother Stan (voiced by Brian Dunkleman). Stan is revealed to resent his brother for being more famous and well-liked than he is (plus we also learn that the reason a coward like Dan has such big muscles is because Stan tried to scare him by telling him there were monsters in the closet and it drove Dan to constantly move heavy objects in front of the closet door). The short ends with Dan again hailed as a hero while his brother fumes over never getting the respect he feels he's more deserving of.

The final short was "A Date with Danger", where Dan dates a female police officer named Pepper (voiced by Butch Hartman's wife Julienne). Dan's panicking at danger ends up inadvertently thwarting criminals with ease, which persuades Pepper to hold off her relationship with Dan until she goes back to police academy and learns to be as efficient in stopping crooks as Dan is.

46. HERB

This short was created by Antoine Guilbaud and starred Clive Revill as the titular character, a strange green being who work as a school janitor and one day helps out a student who lost his lunch by cooking him one.

The school principal finds out about this and challenges Herb to make high-quality cuisine for the entire school. Herb succeeds, with the principal being thrown out on the curb as his punishment (he mainly made the challenge so he could have an excuse to fire Herb).

47. LET'S TALK TURKEY

Another Vincent Waller short. A turkey named Thom (Danny Wells) tries to sell stuff with the assistance of his associate Stowkowski (Rob Izenberg), only to get stuck facing a clan of cannibals called the Hungries (voiced by Danny Wells, Rob Izenberg and Dee Bradley Baker).

Thom ultimately gets them off his back by selling them a meat product called Flab.

48. ZOEY'S ZOO

A cute little short by Amy Ellyn Anderson and David Burd where Zoey (Cody Launzel) tries to buy a new ocelot, but due to impatience and not understanding how ordering works, mistakenly finds herself with a buttload of new ocelots. She later tries to hide them from her mom by having them pose as furniture.

49. TERRY AND CHRIS

Butch Hartman created this short, but got the idea from a boy named John Reynolds, who was a child at the time and had his idea made into an Oh Yeah! Cartoons short because his mother was close to someone who worked with Butch Hartman.

Chris (voiced by Chris Marquette) searches for a new pet and ends up with a special kind of cockatiel that can mimic people's faces and voices. This gets him in trouble when he informs his new pet of how they call his teacher Ms. Davis "the mouth" and the cockatiel ends up copying the insult.

Chris ends up meeting a new exchange student named Angela (Kath Soucie). After a rocky start, they both get a laugh over the cockatiel pulling a prank on the bully Max (Danny Mann) that ends in him being driven far away from town.

An interesting fact is that Timmy Turner from The Fairly OddParents makes a brief cameo as one of Chris's classmates when Miss Davis tells everyone to take their seats (though his hair is black rather than brown).

50. THE BOY WHO CRIED ALIEN

Yet another Guy Vasilovich short, the story stars Floyd (voiced by Adam Wylie), who is constantly paranoid about aliens invading, something he is often berated for by his teacher Mrs. Hornbuckle (Pat Musick) and the school principal (Jason Marsden).

It turns out there actually are aliens coming, but they're so tiny that Floyd ends up accidentally eating them with his cereal before they can even begin their conquest.

51. SICK AND TIRED: BUG BITE

The creation of Andre Nieves and Ric D. Elcarmen, Sick and Tired (voiced respectively by Quinton Flynn and Robbie Rist) are a pair of aptly named plumbers, the former being prone to sneezing fits and the latter being a narcoleptic.

A man named Al Swindel (voiced by Neil Ross) asks them to retrieve his wife's ring, but finishing the task is made difficult by an interfering mosquito

52. SKIPPY SPANKERTON

A short created by Eric and Michelle Bryan, Skippy (Jeannie Elias) is a young girl with movie-making ambitions who struggles to finish her film while also complying with her parents' request to go to bed on time.

At one point, after her parents tell her to take a bath, she rushes over to try and film her imaginary monster friends Zola (Kevin Michael Richardson) and Gorgin (Sheryl Bernstein) while dripping wet and au naturel before Mom and Dad tell her to put her pajamas on. The scene is not for the faint of heart, as it is a rare instance of a little girl's bare behind being shown in a children's cartoon.

Skippy's biggest issue is getting Zola to breathe fire, which she accomplishes by feeding him spicy tamales. Somehow, an amateur film made by a young girl using her toys ends up being judged commendably by a professional critic.

53. ELISE: MERE MORTAL

The final Oh Yeah short by Guy Vasilovich. Elise Krump (Cree Summer) is feeling self-conscious about her braces and writes about a disaster that happened the last time she had her braces tightened.

An eccentric orthodontist named Dr. Toothinstein (Danny Mann) and his constantly smiling assistant Bambi (Grey DeLisle-Griffin) have Elise hooked up to holographic headgear so that while the work on her braces is done, she is shown a bunch of saccharinely cute teeth singing in painfully high-pitched voices about the importance of proper dental care.

A Siberian lab accident ends with Elise getting electrocuted and the movie in her headset changing to a rock band of a gnarly toothbrush and decaying teeth singing about how taking proper care of your teeth is whack. After the appointment is done, Elise also finds that the electrical charge on her braces is causing the whole town to black out. She writes in her diary that orthodontist makes her list of undesirable career choices, then gets lost saying she'd like to be a stewardess or the wife of a Sultan.

54. BAXTER AND BANANAS

Yet another Zac Moncrief entry, Baxter and Bananas was derivative of Calvin and Hobbes, in that the premise concerned a boy named Baxter (Candi Milo) being manipulated into getting himself in trouble by his sock monkey Bananas (Mark Hamill). Much like Calvin's stuffed tiger Hobbes, the cartoon leaves it ambiguous on whether Baxter's sock monkey Bananas is actually alive or if it's just Baxter's imagination.

During a dinner party with Baxter's dad's co-workers, the pair try to sneak some brownies, but they keep getting in trouble.

55. THE TANTRUM

John Fountain created this short and voices the title character, a boy named Travis who obtained super powers and basically becomes a superhero so he can use waling on bad guys and breaking their stuff as an outlet for his frustration at not getting what he wants. In this case, there's a toy robot called Destructanoid that he desires, but he gets peeved off at how hard it is for him to get one (his parents calmly tell him that they can't just buy him every toy he wants, and he puts out a fire at a toy store only to find the Destructanoids were the only toys that were damaged by the fire).

It all ends with The Tantrum going to the White House, expressing his annoyance that even The President of the United States has a Destructanoid and frightening an alien invader into surrendering by breaking his stuff. The short ends with the revelation that the Tantrum made the alien leave him one of his own robots (which he has to hide in his room when his parents decide to buy him a Destructanoid after all to reward him for not exploding in front of them and picking up his toys without being asked to).

This could've been fun as its own series, because supervillains frantically trying to get the child superhero wrecking their stuff to calm down is just too hilarious a mental picture.

56. KAMELEON KID

Created by Russ Mooney and the late Jaime Diaz.

The main character Cameron (Amber Hood) ends up in a lab accident where he gains the power to turn into any animal or inanimate object he can think of, which he then uses to get even with his bully Otto (Pamela Adlon).

57. THE SEMPRINI TRIPLETS

The final entry by Pat Ventura. The titular triplets are a trio of rubber hose cartoon characters named Malcolm (colored blue and voiced by Orlando Ashley), Melvin (colored purple and voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) and Melinda (colored red and voiced by Kiki Shepard).

After their mom drops them off near the carnival, the ticket cashier (also Kevin Michael Richardson) tries to jack up the admission price so he can afford a vacation in New Zealand. What follows is the three kids making a fool out of the guy who tried to con them and winning the New Zealand vacation he wanted.

After that, it was the end for Oh Yeah! Cartoons, except for an announcement by Fred Seibert that Oh Yeah! Cartoons would be revived for a fourth season.

This Oh Yeah! Cartoons revival was ultimately rebranded as its own thing as Random! Cartoons, but the new title and different theme music wasn't really fooling anyone, as Random! Cartoons still followed its predecessor's formula of being an anthology for seven-minute shorts intended as pilots for potential Nicktoons.

Funnily enough, much like Oh Yeah! Cartoons, only three entries in Random! Cartoons got their own shows: Adventure Time (which was picked up by Cartoon Network and ran for nine seasons after Nickelodeon rejected it), Bravest Warriors (which Frederator Studios opted to make a web series on their Cartoon Hangover channel without Nickelodeon's involvement) and Fanboy and Chum Chum (which was the only one of the three where Nickelodeon was still involved, but most would see it as a hollow victory, as Fanboy and Chum Chum both is a very unpopular Nicktoon and only ran for two seasons).

I've discussed just about everything I could discuss regarding Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Too bad I had to split this thing into two because of page description length limitations.
