ok that sponsor part was actually pretty cool keep it up
Hey where can I find the Billy an Mandy manga, it looks real!
Don't buy this product if you want to use it to cut the hair on your balls because you will just become castrated. No joke research the company before you buy the product or take a sponsorship
until you find out their product is very bad and shouldnt be anywhere near your balls...
Adult animation steven scares me because yeah that’s the current animation style of adult cartoons and that is absolutely what he would look like if he was in one😅
At least if it was an "adult cartoon", it'll be MORE obvious that his body guards are LESBIANS, albiet, RUDELY CARICATURED ONES!
It's not accurate. It needs a speech bubble of him saying a swear.
@@somethingclever4297 As well as him making crude unfunny "jokes" about his lesbian rock monster body guards 😂
ITS THE GUY
damn it hazbin hotel exist people
For everyone that says the image looks like AI: I went to the original tweet, and the art is definitely hand drawn.
The AI texture may just be an artifact of AI upscaling, as the image is pretty compressed and small in the original tweet and likely wouldn't have looked as good in the video when upscaled.
That does remind me that the 2020s Steven will probably just actually be AI generated rather than from the adult animation slop mines
The only ai looking one is jimmy neutron boy genius Lincoln Loud, boy has six fingers on one hand and five on the other
@@MBVRgtagI think that’s due to bad tracing
@ oh ok
AI isn't sophisticated enough to do this -- at least not the one I use.
the 2020s animation style made me go “you’re so right” internally while externally verbally going “augh” and recoiling when the final render came up
The Wild Robot was good and I have enjoyed Lower Decks
It is painful how similar my reaction was. I didn’t think it would be so bad, like you were exaggerating, but no, I believe that sequence of events happened 100% exactly as you described
Same exact thought and noise I made
you can see the artstyle deteriorate every year after 2005
Tbh I disagree. I think, considering the show’s genres and target demographic (tweens) 2020s Steven would have a remarkably similar design to his original. You mostly see the style that Harry mimicked for 2020s in adult animation, whereas much of 2020s tween animation takes inspiration from anime, as well as from shows like… Steven Universe itself (and others, such Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, etc. but the point stands).
LIKE, ZOINKS, SCOOB! I SUDDENLY HAVE THE URGE TO TALK ABOUT FEELINGS WITH MY MAGIC LESBIAN BODYGUARDS!
That part was so fricking funny
LMAO💀
ruh roh raggy
Amethyst Scooby was wild
as a long time steven universe fan, that part got me😭💀
Feel like the title should’ve been “Cartoon Network tweeted” because I believe Steven universe does have their own Twitter that is people who actually worked on the show. This is just corporate trying to cheaply drive engagement
steven himself drew this
@@McTH-camMan would explain alot, he never went to school, he wouldn’t know history very well
I can confirm Steven universe tweeted this
Yeah but it gets the idea across with a shorter title
I thought you wanted the title to just be "Cartoon Network tweeted" as if the MERE activity of Cartoon Network requires a video
That ad read was downright DELIGHTFUL
Oh my god right? I watched the whole thing and I don’t even apply to their target audience!
4:06
“Bro, skip the ad!”
No….not these ones…
(I love his little animation on the ads 💜)
Ikr these ads are actually entertaining. I love the effort put into them.
Yeah! The only one ad that I really love to see, l loved the effort in it
Same! They have so much personality
Lets be real, these ads are more fun and entertainig then todays ads
Ain't it?
@AdithiDaVinci All it takes is some personality, and I didn't even care it was a AD. It actually had me intrigued, so that's really saying something, considering I usually skip ADs.
Greg's last name is Demayo so it's safe to assume that Steven is at least half Italian and half living rock.
It's actually a rare Jewish surname! Plus it's been confirmed Steven is at least Jewish coded which makes the comment on it in this video very ironic
@@mixedmango2870I wonder if people could use that as a dog whistle…I mean does this show need more excuses to start petty controversy?
@@Barakon oh don't worry. Most of the controversies were already fueled by antisemitism 😮💨
@@mixedmango2870 Jewish coded isn't a thing. He either is Jewish or isn't.
@@mixedmango2870 I doubt that. Rebecca Sugar's writing is flawed, she did not plan the show effectively, and there are some VERY bad messages about abusive relationships that she's left the fans with due to her likely genuine belief in forgiveness without accountability. Acting like EVERY piece of the controversy surrounding her is only due to antisemitism or other sorts of prejudice is not only unrealistic, it makes it harder for people to discuss the legitimate flaws in SU's writing without being harassed unfairly by keyboard warriors.
Are we not going to talk about the Manscaped Commercial? That is probably one of the most entertaining and clever sponsorships ad I've ever sat through, which is saying a lot because I usually skip through them.
I cannot stand the "Simpsons" style family portraits. Talk about desperate cash grabs
I'm getting real sick and tired of Cartoon Network releasing these soulless mediocre renditions of characters in different styles. If you're not gonna do it right, then don't do it at all! lol
@@krabgrass but then how are they going to get money? :(
pretty ironic you say that *krab* grass
@krabgrass but then we wouldn't get these golden videos from harry
@@hamstersandwich9917 that's true lol I just love roasting big corporations for cheaping out
@@krabgrass then lampoon WB for canceling fully finished films for tax cuts, not for posting shitty art swaps on social media that drives Harry to make banger videos
a lot of ppl in the comments saying "why did Harry age up Steven?" or "doesn't really read as Steven because he's aged up." you have to remember in those older era cartoons it was rare as heck for a child to be the Main character back then and since the show is called Steven Universe it makes sense to age him up in the old styles. I'm sure Harry could have drawn kid Steven in those old styles but it wouldn't have been accurate I mean look at Lion-o and He-man those guys are like 15 or younger but they were bulked up in their shows to sell toys thus the style.
ok but the point is drawing steven in the style.
children existed back then, even in cartoons. imagine if harry gold was drawing a child character in the style of a show with mainly adult characters but plenty of kid characters to choose from as reference, and instead harry sacrificed recognizeability and aged up the kid character. now the character is both in a different art style and looks very different. this is bad.
I was waiting for Johnny Quest, tbh. But that would’ve been less fun and perhaps not as emblematic of the entire decade’s style
@@Fangria Back in ye olde days that preteens basically dressed up nearly the same as adults. It wasn't until the 50s where the difference between outfits for ages became super clear.
Also because it looks funnier seeing Steven as a Tweedle Dee type character
@@kirbyofthestarsfan i feel like youre deliberately missing the point with that first part but i literally cant argue with subjective taste in comedy so the last parts fine.
@@Fangria no, they didn't miss the point. You said that even tho children protags were uncommon, he still should've been drawn younger as to stay true to the character. They said that children and adults dressed basically the same, so there's no way to really distinguish the two via artstyle.
I like how most of these you made Steven a middle aged dude with brown hair.
i think it's supposed to be vaguely pinkish
his hair is supposed to be very very dark brown i think
i htink the kinda chibi statues they made of him (i forgot what they were called) had brown hair
@@lavenderstarzzz nendoroids?
Steven’s and Connie’s are a brown-black there, like actual hair, and garnet’s is more of a pure black.
@@GaiaBicolosi i dodnt think it was nendodrioids, they look a lot more detailed than the ones i had, not that it really matters all that much though
I love Steven universe I can’t believe he would tweet such terrible art
and the caricature is Lee J Cobb

The one for the '80s looks like one of those twist villains. Kinda like the dude who will lure the MCs in, and dangle them over a vat of acid, and will leave and use this pose, saying "And who are they going to believe? Sweet ol' Stevie, or some (insert some insecurity the MC blabbed to him about)"
It's just Darkheart from the Care Bears movie haha
@@tessfabled4115nah real XD
Steven is definitely a Garbage Pail Kid
yes
I liked the 30's and 40's Steven. It's so authentic they look like they have done blackface before.
Given Spinel's design is somewhat controversial for similar reasons, apt.
@@dweebteambuilderjones7627what?
@@JustNate112 I can actually imagine the Steven Universe characters being in blackface, in like secret storyboard jams by the shows' animators, behind Rebecca Sugar's back!
@shirleymaemattthews4862 ayo, what the F-
@@JustNate112yeah so some animator or something did draw some weird stuff in secret, so it’s not out of the question there could be more weird stuff
guys, i get AI sucks and we all hate it, but the video said that the drawing is from 2020, stop assuming anything thats shit is AI
yeah ok but those are *very* obvious AI artifacts, and image-generative has existed before 2020…
It isn’t generated by ai, it was prob done by hand. but if you look closely you can definitely see that it’s very ai upscaled
I think it's that ai resolution thing
Speak for yourself. AI doesn't suck and we don't all hate it.
@@RiedlerMusicsThose AI artifacts probably came from AI upscaling
The image wouldn't look as good if it wasn't upscaled
9:13 oh my gawd that was a jumpscare. MAGIC LESBIAN BODYGUARDS!
That was terrifying...
I did not expect a Simpleflips mention, much less Sr Pelo, on this channel.
I knew you had taste.
Shoutout to Simple flips 🗣️💯
Great entertainer he is!
Harry Gold is the only TH-camr who keeps me intrigued during the sponsorship segments.
I have stared at 14:10 for ten minutes. I cannot force my mind to see 40s and 60s Stevens as anything younger than 40 year old blue collar salesmen. 60s is an average-schlub cartoon dad who's not even part of the main cast, and 40s is a demonic hell creature invoking the same visceral terror as the coachman from Pinocchio and the repairman from Brave Little Toaster. Fantastic art and video though XD. Very informative.
I think at this point the art style swap tweets are bringing Harry Gold more money than it brings to the company who posted it. Also this is Lee J. Cobb, and unlike Cartoon Network I know that 12 Angry Men was made in the 50s.
Being sponsored by Harry must be the best thing that could happen to your company/product.
I'm always baffled at how talented this guy is, I always wat up the sponsors cus these animations are just immaculate, the most genius way to put an add in your video, truly marvellous.
The amount of grammar errors here are crazy please forgive me I'm just a poor spanish soul
13:05 "a common mistake artists make is when they inaccurately stylizing the character in every decade" 🗣️🔥🔥
"to fix the mistake, you have to research first in order to get the right depiction you trying to do" 🥶🥶
LOL FR
OMG THANK YOU I was trying to remember why I'd heard that song a million times 😅
I don't think ai is replacing humans, I think Harry is replacing ai
A reality I can live with
This is the only channel that can make me watch the sponsor part, (the animation is gold)
Harry gold
I make terrible jokes
Jesus, how is this not the largest Art channel on TH-cam? The amount of effort you seem to put into every other second of your videos is insane. And I don't just mean you make great visual art but you just really funny and entertaining, you teach and you amaze with all kinds of art media. Which is especially ironic in these kinds of videos because the networks that post those original artworks don't put any of that in their posts.
Cheers man, I hope the Internet at large realizes soon how incredible you are 😮

YOU LIKE SLIPPIN JIMMY?!?!!
4:07 You keep toppin’ yourself with these UPA-style ads, Harry! The designs & art direction are chefs kiss 👌🏾✨ The style redesigns are also fantastic as always (LOVE the Schoolhouse Rock Steven) but stuff like the manga/Aussie accent gag are the lil’ charming things that keep me comin’ back for more.
God, Harry Gold’s ads are just impossible to skip
I rarely rewatch a sponsor ad, but these are an exception. Always a joy to watch!
I would do ANYTHING for this guy to have an "art style describe" service where he would just analyse and roast your art style in his classic humor. Maybe even pay MONEY so he can try to copy or even ENHANCE its ideas! I'd love to upgrade my art style to fit my message more. If Harrium AU is seeing this, the idea is free of charge, no need to credit ;)
why does steven look like a full grown man in most of the redesigns tho
Probably because of the wrinkles on the edge of the mouth and his outfits aren’t very “modern-kid”
Because is "If Steven was MADE on this decades" instead of "If Steven was in the ART STYLE of this decades". During the first decades of animation, it was more common to have adult characters rather than kids
@@Qorramthe beginning of the video shows/says “ drawn in different styles of the decade”
@@rhyanabbott2909 yeah thats the point
@@Qorramhow in the fck does that make any logical sense?
Just because kids were less common in cartoons(hardly less common), doesn't mean there AREN'T kid designs to pull from. Like he's 10-16 years old. Not 50. It's ridiculous.
I like these art style videos because he not only re-draws the art but also dissects the artstyle being emulated
I always re-watch these videos and I deadass don't even want to skip the sponsorship portion, it's by far one of the best ways to make a sponsored part in a video
Kind of cringe how Cartoon Network feels the need to have the characters be in the same pose for each style swap. The art would benefit from it being different poses each time
Dude I love the oldie ads that you make for your sponsors.
4:12 Now that's what I call an ad read. 💯
We try to make sure they're... a cut above!
@@TheHarryGoldShowheh, nice one
Dude I love the way you do your sponsorships, they’re the only ones from anybody I actually watch
I like how the title implies that Steven Universe, the character, did the art himself.
He would of probably done a better job honestly.
Why would steven post this 😢
Harry Gold uploaded? Day saved 🙏🙏
I hope you have an amazing day!! Remember your one of a kind! One in eight billion!! Actually even more then that! you could never be replicated!!! And your loved more than you know!
@@KaylieghHereford so true 🙂↕️
Why does Steven look like an adult in most of the older redraws? (The 30’s to the 60’s). Were there not any child characters to reference? Or would he actually have been aged up during that time
He probably would have been aged up. The clothing also makes him look older since you don't usually see kids wearing suits.
I don't know; for an _extremely_ long stretch of human history, "children's fashion" was just "adult fashion, but smaller," so depending on how the rest of the cast is drawn, I think you could get most of the Stevens to pass as children with the right voice actors, but yeah, there's no way 1940s Steven is any younger than 35.
The style of clothing harry drew him in are what we associate with grandpa clothes now
Animation in the periods depicted us usually had adult characters instead.
0:22 oh…. Not very good…. *they didn’t have to do this to my boy Astro*
It's like these brands intentionally push crappy art just so people can fix it for free.
Come to think of it, that _is_ a way to get attention. Which is definitely what the brands want.
12:02 2000s Genndy Tartakovsky style is the BEST redesign in this set! I can actually see this as a design.
for a hot second i was really scared that Harry Gold was talking about the... OTHER Steven Universe art that's been getting tweeted out recently.
the *wave of relief* i felt when i saw the thumbnail, my god
DEPLORABLE! I'm definitely NOT asking for the sauce because I'm definitely NOT curious about it 😉😉😉
@@paolopasaol9700 B-but i wanna know 😔
You can't just say something like that and NOT tell us what you mean
I think there was pearl x greg and sadie x amethyst art leaked (in tge amethyst x sadie one amethyst shapeshiftes into lars)@cringelord_67
11:34 Those designs of Dexter and Dee Dee actually come from the Chris Savino era of the show which began airing in the 2000s, not the 90s.
I think Harry often makes this particular mistake.
we've got all our years in a twist!!!!
He's spot on with the Klasky Csupo style though
Meh
8:50 every time i see that gif i cant stop thinking of "so retro"
Ah, a perfect video to watch after a hard school day drinking favorite tea. I enjoy Harrys redesigns so, so much, especially as an artist myself and a big lover of when the artstyle is done well. You inspire me to think to try make some redesign videos myself
The person that copies other peoples homework vs. the person that actually puts the time and effort to do it
Amazing work, as usual Harry. 👍 I always look forward to your redraw videos.
It's crazy seeing the low effort in those official post. They drew Steven in "the Simpsons style" but they didn't even give him 4 fingers. They just gave him a Simpson face and called it a day.
But yeah, I don't blame whoever did this, whoever they were had to churn it out as quickly as possible.
You are seriously a chameleon of art styles, love the different styles, from rubber hose, to the 50' geometic style, to disney-esq, the cutesy 80's, it's astonishing, they look like they came right out of a cartoon from that era.
I hope they keep posting more bad art, so we can see you fix them
As a person who studies paleontology, i would have never expected Dromiceomimus of all dinosaurs to be mentioned.
Drawing characters in different art styles through decades is one of my favorite pass times, therefore, those steven arts look horrendeus!
I think the caricature is Richard Korver
Ok I've never been so excited to see a artist redraw. But this is something else. I gotta subscribe at this point.
_“don’t worry, schoolhouse rock steven can’t hurt you.”_
*schoolhouse rock steven:* 10:13
the only thing I don't like here is that if I saw these designs out of context I wouldn't have guessed it was supposed to be steven😭
Man, i had a terrible headache, but for some reason your voice just healed me instantly. Thank you.
And your video is awesome too :)
12:17 that is just terrifying
Dude...that manscaped ad was the best commercial I've seen in a LONG TIME. That is some TOP work Mr Harry Gold!
(P.S. down the line I think a really cool evolution of the talkshow aesthetic would be to have a small set kinda like the Eric Andre show...but more budget and space conscious of course lol)
My only issue with some of these is the fact that they make Steven look like a grown man instead of a young boy that he's supposed to be. Other than that the stylistic decisions are on point as always
You are the only youtuber who makes great advertising for sponsors
9:18 i aint hearing NO ONE out
You are so talented that’s insane

Hi! Harry I love all your videos, your style of 50's shows and the modern era OMG, you're AWESOME!!

I like how they do the sponsors animation, it brings me to much memories
Man I remember when this channel had only like 5k subscribers. It's so nice to see you getting the recognition you deserve!

I audibly laughed so hard that I choked on my food.
“How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man!?”
I bet one day either cartoon network or Nickelodeon will commission him to make the styles of there characters
I love how you do sponsers. Like, my favorite part of Drive In Theater in Disney is the ads. Just love the creativity with the little goobers telling me to buy the thing.
Not a fan of A.I, I am...
If you're going to replace everyone's jobs, how about just having Harry Gold replace everyone, he's like a printing press of styles

Why did you turn Steven in the first few ones into a 50 year old man? That's not what 13 year olds look like. 😭
Alright, let me say just how GOOD your videos art?! You put lots of research in them and they are very passionate! You replicate these art styles perfectly it’s extremely impressive!! And the humour always has an effect on me, seeing Amethyst Scoobidoo especially got me! Your caricatures are very good as well! Although I can’t guess this one haha!
The Harry Gold show truly has *golden* content to offer.
I mean cool designs but it bothers me how in almost all of them he's an adult? It doesnt feel very recognizable as Steven in the show where he's a kid or at most a teen in Future
yeah, I thought the same
Another comment said that this is Steven if he was MADE in those decades, rather than him in the decade's art style, and for most of those decades it was more common to see adult characters
@@alexp728 There are still plenty of kid characters to reference though seeing as a lot of those decades were focused on the nuclear family
Yeah, I didn’t recognize Steven until he got to the 1970s. I respect the time and effort, but he definitely needed more kid references.
I kinda noticed that too
The ad blocks that The Harry Gold Show has should be real ad blocks. They're very well thought out and very charming.
Also, Harry Gold's style is fantastic
12:40 no way they kept in the ai art artifacts. Thats crazy.
the simpleflips reference, I love it!! xD amazing work as always Mr. Gold 💙💙
Lots of Stevie U fans I see. This vid has almost as many views as Harry Gold has subscribers. While technically a mineral/metal, Harry would be a gem of an addition to anyone's in-universe set, entirely wholesome, fan fic
I love how he goes through different art styles in the times.
I loved the simple flips joke because at the very start I just went “damn that could’ve just been submitted as SF fan art and nobody would’ve bat an eye.
i adore the sponsor segments, i wish all youtubers advertised in a unique way like this
The Harry Gold-signal shines bright in the sky
Harry gold is the only person on youtube who makes me want to watch his sponsors, he should get into advertising.
At this point just deactivate the account. Cartoon Network, you can’t keep getting away with this.
I can't stop looking at 2000s Steven, you captured that style perfectly
I just ended my shift, this made my day
This is the first time in years I haven't skipped the ad 😮😮 (first time in the channel btw)... I'm so pleasently shocked.. subscribed
The sponsors are so creative i never skip them 🙏
Did not expect to hear Harry talking about Simpleflips. What a world we live in.
This is the EXACT type video I've been waiting for you to make for SO long! I love hearing all this old animation history through a different lens than normal! Best video yet!
Hell, even the Manscaped ad is bearable, and I usually skip through those ads 🤣
This channel is so underrated. Even the ad was amazing.
I personally really like your videos and find them fun and fun with an e! They also give me inspiration to draw which is rare. The thing is that sometimes when I show videos of your to my friends some think that you're egotistical and bashing the works of other artists to make yourself look better. I personally don't see it that way, and I think what you said at the end of this video perfectly explains your thought process of these "fixing art style video" things. Keep up the good work!
God I love these videos, I’m really glad we’re able to keep this series going while still keeping it fresh!
As a Jew, I disagree with the assertion that Greg Universe doesn’t vibe Jewish
