Maybe underground, or maybe mainstream? Or maybe somewhere in-between. From the studio that brought you Total Drama Island and 6teen, a forgotten show that flowed underneath the radar of most people.

There's Another Show From Fresh TV From 2012-2016 Name Fugget About It You Should Review It
Can you review fangbone?
Or 101 dalmatian street
@@kenscales675 Darius Films & 9 Story made it, not Fresh TV
This shows very bondy
The creators revealed years ago that Corey does know about Laney being a girl. He just calls her a guy so she doesn't feel left out of the group.
THTS SO SWEET
Obviously, Corey knows Laney's gender. He wants to help make her feel equal in a mostly male-dominated rock band, even though he could have been more respectful to her, even if she's a tomboy who has a crush on him that he's clueless to.
@@hungtheheroluu I agree. Every time (I think) they need a girl in the episodes he always mentions her first, showing he does know she is a girl. I always felt as if he knew Laney was a girl and still joked about her being a guy (probably to make her feel as part of the group in everything, since the other members are males), and she was the one who didn't understand he was joking because with him being her crush, she cared way too much about what he said on the topic.
I thought the joke with Corey's speech segments is the fact that he clearly has the skill to make up moving or profound sounding sentences that are good enough to be lyrics and he doesn't really need Trina's diary alone to be a good songwriter(a point also made with the aliens episode) but he dismisses it every time Laney says his speech could have been used for lyrics.
it may also have to do with the fact that the show is not educational at all and are maybe parodying shows with lessons at the end?
@@demiokulaja7787 I think both are good
And in the finale Corey said he should get a journal to write them down.
If you listen to the speeches he makes theyre still often very jumbled and struggle to make sense. He definitely has thoughts, but a hard time expressing them comprehensively without reference and such
I remember thinking he was insane because he literally would be able to make lyrics in the end but just enjoyed torturing his sister to get his lyrics instead. I was like dang so they're both just horrible siblings huh?
For a show that's so focused on comedy first, it actually had some crazy potential for depths in other areas. According to the creator, Corey and Katrina were adopted by their single father, who never appeared in the show. That sounded so interesting, and I'm bummed that we never got to see them with their Dad.
@TheGlassesPro I did.
@TheGlassesPro oh man, talk about lost potential
It's also implied that their parents are rock demigods. The grojlore is deeper
It’s a shame it never went for more deeper storytelling moments like this.
@@aragostairachenahSOURCE??? Please I’m obsessed with this show
14:31 The creator,Todd Kauffman, confirmed that Corey and Trina and actually demigods, actually. Apparently they're the children of the gods and goddess of Rocklympus.
If that is true it’s explains a lot about the siblings. Trina inheritability just make awesome lyrics and Corey got the guitar playing skills.
Children of apollo
Grojband was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I'm so happy to see someone talk about it 😭
Dude same
Same.
I never liked watching the show because of Trina. But I hope She Talks about Sidekick next.
Fr same
Same
You can immediately tell this show took major inspiration from Scott Pilgrim. I mean you can see it everywhere with some of the character designs, the onomatopoeia text that pop up, and whenever they would play their instruments.
You're totally right! I just noticed all of it!
Who is Scott Pilgrim?
@@ultimate6295Scott Pilgrim Vs The World was a comic book that later got adapted into a Movie and a Video game. The main plot follows the titular Scott Pilgrim in his quest to defeat his love interest Ramona’s seven evil exes
i dont see it. Considering a lot of shows have the onomatopoeia coming up, especially in children cartoons and even older shows. Character designs look straight total drama island.
@@prophet1546it's the same people as total drama, and even some voices are the same too
The songs from Grojband are still unironically great
That one song from the episode where Laney had to pretend to be the frontman bc they were playing in some sort of Girl Power concert with the main act being a bunch of posers was an unironic bop
“One more memory of you” is a banger
I know right
True
What a great way to celebrate Cartoon Network’s 30th anniversary.
I see you almost everywhere now
I have a vivid memory of pretending to be Trina (the pink haired girl, I don't remember her name 🥶) and holding a notebook, spinning around and screaming
i did this but with unikitty from lego movie
LMBOOOOOO
I remember being obsessed with this show as a kid. I even went as so far as to watch full episodes as silent clips since season 2 was taking to long to come out.
Season 2 never came out sadly :(
I think they're talking about the second half of the first season.
In Australia shows like Gorjband, 6teen, stoked, total drama and detentionare were on ABC3 wich was free to air. Cartoon network wasn't really a thing unless you paid for it meaning that these shows just showed up. Thank you for talking about them I miss them and the funny plots.
Similar here in the UK, I remember this show being on the channel Pop which is free to air and had lots of fun gems like this and another show from the same creator called sidekick was on CBBC
My childhood
In Canada Cartoon Network shows seemed to be split between YTV and Teletoon stations
Grojband and Total Drama were my childhood because of this
@@m1k3l1f3Well all those shows named in OPs comment here were made for Teletoon as canadian content
This show was my everything as a music obsessed teen. I’m so glad someone else is talking about it.
Edit: I’m a third into this video and I already know I’m gonna rewatch this video (because it a great video) and grojband (while dumb and crazy is also great).
Grojband*
@@karimitickaeloogreattemlor3486 opps, my bad. Thank for pointing it out.
@@janusnightshade9848 no problem ^^
grojband sent me down the rabbit hole of pop punk and thats how i found paramore
I’ve been waiting for this since it was announced the amount of musical variety didn’t need to go that hard. But it totally did and it is such an underrated gem
Bro just defended the entirety of episodic cartoons. Thank you.
The end of season 1 had the biggest status quo change that, if it'd been carried into a season 2 would have been literally everything i wanted. Because Mina standing up to Trina was the best moment of the whole show for me.
Not enough people appreciate Grojband. It's genuinely one of the smartest and funniest shows I've watched
LETS GOOO
I never thought I'd see a channel cover this show, this was so cool when I was a kid. But your right, the show needed more depth and development so it could build towards something worth returning for.
Cori and Lainee needed MORE TIME TOGETHER, it was necessary and it is a fact. great video btw
Honestly these kind of more obscure shows were like always my more favorite kind of shows. Tho it made sad because trying to be in fandoms when little ppl really cared about the stuff I do was hard.
Hell it’s still something that happens to me. XD
Like I’m still one of the few ppl I see talking about Dogs in Space.
I'd totally watch this show if I had Netflix! It looks cool :o
The trope where the characters srink and go into someone’s body, comes from the Cold War epoch film “Fantastic Voyage”. About a cold war invention that does that in which they have to save a scientist from a miniature Russian spy. That was srunk by the machine.
Lainey reminds me of that chick from Jimmy two shoes, that’s madly in love with Jimmy but never has the guts to confess her feelings to him.😺
dude i loved jimmy two shoes, such an underrated show
Heloise. I remember watching jimmy Twoshoes as a kid,shipped it. Still ship it today.
Ngl that line “put the maid outfit back on” caught me so off guard laughing I slide out of my chair . But yea I remember this show and over time the show had a weird schedule so to say it was awkward to catch episode is a understatement. I did record episodes to get full experience and negative legend + partner = masterpiece review
I knew about this because the Shezow fandom tends to cross paths in the fan art department. Reminds me of Scott Pilgrim mixed with Bobobo and Johnny Test with the randomness.
I first thought the show looked silly and ended up loving it my favorite episode is Math of Kon
Trina’s diary segments were really fun too and seeing Mina stick up for herself was also really fun and satisfying to see
When I saw Negative dressed up in the Maid outfit, I could not stop thinking just how amazing they would look in Lolita fashion. I mean seriously, would rock it! I think Gothic Lolita fashion would fit their personality personally with a Victorian twist but let me know if you think you have a better idea.
Like a Palaye Royale vibe in general. Fashion art rock in general. So mostly like Emerson from the band.
im infinitely happy that this show got a video like this
Your partner is right, i remember watching this show during summer vacation years ago around 2/3pm in the afternoon. And years before I found out or started watching the other shows you listed. It's a shame more people didn't/ don't know about it. Another show suggestion ; Detentionaire.
YES.
This show is so underrated and was my childhood, and it still holds strong in my memory since I rediscovered it a couple of weeks ago. So much of this show (which is 10 years old BTW) is left unexplored, such as when and how did Grojband form, will Corey and his sister Trina learn to get along, and are Laney and Corey going to be an official couple. One can only hope for a crazy plan that just might work to bring it back.
I think this show was actually the foundation for my entire life I LOVED it. I miss it so much 😭, it’s really a bummer how the fandom is so small too
Oh my gosh- my sister will freak seeing this. Me and her grew up watching Grojband, and she is completely obsessed with it still (I never liked it as much as she did). She even talked to Todd Kauffman a long time ago to express how she liked it and to share her works about it.. Honestly, this is pretty wild. Thought this show was forgotten but I'm glad to see it get some form of resurgence. Thank you for the great video :)
I AM THE SISTER LMAOO AND I STILL LOVE IT SIS LIKE YOU KNOW HOW I AM STILL SIMPIN OVER COREY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (HARDCORE LANES FAN LMAO)
@@asuna_hina i want to perish dear sister
I binged the series with my roommate about a year ago and we joking said that if the show was remade today Nick Valory would be asexual and Trina would have crush but not notice while the rest of the town knew
I remember when I was younger, I had a crush on Corey and so I made paper dolls of all the characters and myself and I made little stories up.
I remember it and I instantly hate myself tbh
Damn.
I like how the show looks, the colors and line art just mix to make a satisfying look.
I loved this show so much as a kid, had the biggest crush on Corey, he was the cool alt boy of my 10yr old dreams
God I miss this show. This is the cartoon that got me into shipping and writing fanfiction :x
Recently the songs popped into my head, I looked them up again and they still slap. They did not need to go as hard as they do
LITERALLY THOUGH
i have a vague memory of just seeing corey on tv when i was 8 or 9 n i believe the memory got locked into my brain until 2019 when a friend got really into grojband which got me interested!!!
its such a silly fun show that its nice to just tune into whenever ! i wish a season 2 got made but unfortunately
Till you mentioned it, I never saw the similarities they shared with Phineas and Ferb. But the airing times for Grojband was so sad. I only saw it close to midnight, they'd have multiple episodes back to back so late at night
I can't believe I actually remember seeing this show on TV, it has just been sitting at the back of my mind this whole time until this video. So thank you for learning about this show and reminding me of it.
i used to watch it on a nieche TV channel along with Ruby Gloom, Groove High and Scary Larry and much more😭😭
Same
GrojBand was one of those shows that I saw come on randomly, but never actually knew what the show was called or what it was even about
I was obsessed with this show as a kid and was heartbroken once I realized the show was over. The soundtrack still slaps to this day as an adult
Negative you should do a "What Happened to Ruby Gloom" or a "What Happened to Groove High" video because I want to know your thoughts and review on them.
its so funny that you dressed up like corey and just ended up looking almost identical to jude but with longer hair LOL
I’ve never understood if she actually wrote the lyrics they’d sing or if they made lyrics from what she wrote
It's the second. There was an episode where I think their rival band got possessed by aliens and stole away Trina's diary to sing but it came out clunky since they were just reciting everything she wrote word for word.
they were taking inspo from trina
While Corey does read his sister's diary to find inspiration to write lyrics for his songs, he doesn't actually copy down and sing what Trina wrote word-for-word. It would just sound flavorless like when the space orbs possessed The Newmans and directly sang an entry from the diary word-for-word, which ended up angering Trina because her fear of her crush Nick falling for Mina gets revealed to the crowd.
@@hungtheheroluu I completely forgot about that episode
@@uncutfandu3179 I even forgot to add that if Corey didn't put a twist on the entries (i.e. writing his own words after reading the diary), Trina would have obviously found out.
When they’re partner said that Corey and Trina are demigods and they just just was like okay🤣🤣
So glad to see this somewhat-underrated gem get some recognition even today. Grojband is golden and it deserved better.
Grojband used to air in France on the free children programs channel called "Gulli", it aired every day just after school (at 4:30PM) so I watched all of it, the French Dub was great and this was one of my favorite shows, I was so sad to see it disappear as the airing of the episodes stopped. Fortunately, the French and Original Dub are still entirely available on TH-cam!
I’m in the beginning of this vid, but I found a playlist to watch all episodes of Grojband on TH-cam and watching the entire series like 4 times now, it’s so amazing and has surprisingly deep moments and crazy moments of surprise
It’s amazing
PLEASE sign the petition to bring season 2 Grojband, written by Duarte Ferreira and titled “Grojband Season 2”. It won’t let me put the link in so PLEASE
Oh hell, I forgot about this series.
Damn, I miss it
i remember being absolutely obsessed with this show 😭 it was the only thing i watched and i even made corey’s beanie (i lost it tho, so sad) i was devastated when they took it off netflix but the entire series is available here which i discovered a week ago!! this is such a fun little show with a surprising amount of lore
It's available on Netflix?
@@chelseaxoxo784 it used to be from 2015 to 2017
I'm so surprised a lot of people didn't know about GrojBand, I watched so much of it.
i’ve never click so fast i grew up with this show
Honestly bro
the show influenced me very little but I still have the "that's my jam" song stuck in my head.
Omg I was OBSESSED with this show in elementary. It was so bad I can't even look back on it without cringing at myself 😭
Thank you so much for talking about it and taking me down memory lane
I remember watching this show and for years I had no idea what it was! Finally! thank you!
This show deserves a third season or a reboot. Too bad CN or Boomerang doesn't see it that way.
This show was one of the first few that made me into the grungey, musty band lover I am. 30+ house shows in my local scene later and I have yet to feel the same hype this cartoon gave me for diy bands 💀😭
I remember as a kid, this show would air on cartoon network every weekday. They'd show a new episode around 3 or 4 pm every day. It's a thing a lot of networks do with Canadian shows. The one I specifically remember was when a show called Rocket Monkeys aired on Nickelodean at like 3 pm since that was the time I would come home from school.
If you havent already is suggest you try and look at two series's one called "Motorcity" and another called "Penn Zero Part Time Hero" I really loved both of those shows back when I had 1st discovered them and the fact that neither of them got another season was quite sad.
First of all please have Isabella in more episodes you two work so well together
Second I just noticed your hair colors bounce off each other so well Negative being blonde and Isabella being Redhead
Third this show was really great, I m from Zambia so I never knew how these shows were rated in the U.S. The networks just show us what they can get the rights to so it kinda fun. For me personally I would watch what I liked and I loved this show.
I've missed this show soooo much it's such a classic
yeah i loved it so much as a kid
@@myffisunn2919 me too literally Nostalgia fuel now
aaah, i remember being there in the fandom trenches, good times, there was so much Laney angst. also in retrospect realizing Laney might've been trans. the songs still slap and im sure i still have a zip of them somewhere on my harddrive
Love this show, and for what you said on more storylined series, might i add you Detentionaire? Is another Canadian show, and it introduced me to serialized shows!
Despite not thinking about it in years, I miss this show…
I remember only watching like 3 episodes of Grojband when I was 7 (the queen bee episode, the lady rage episode and the jam episode)
Then one day, when my sister was talking about how she wanted to rewatch Lemonade Mouth (I was 13 at the time) I also remembered a show about an indie rock band, only the one I was thinking about was animated. I thought the show was called Garage Band so I typed that in and found nothing animated. But then I scrolled and found Garage Band Cartoon Network. I was able to find the show and rewatched the first episode.
Time skip to a few months later, I wrote down the lyrics to every song (by memory) and was letting other people know the show existed. And I can still resight all of the songs even though my sister made me throw away my book with the songs inside (totally relate to Cory on that front)
TL;DR I love this show so much, it was my favourite but now it's my 2nd favourite (behind Total Drama) but it deserves more love.
I've heard things here and there about Grojband and most of what I heard is that it's great. I'm definitely giving it a watch someday!
As soon as I heard Corey in this video, I was like "yep that's Lyon Smith" and I was right! There's something about his inflections that make it easy for me to recognize his voice acting and I love his performances!
I used to be a HUGE Grojband fan
Oh my God I loved this show!!! It was so cool and I loved it. It was my first introduction to rock outside of my father (who mostly showed me metal, and hard rock, and female punk) and he loved that I watched it. Thank you for making this video!!
I watched Grojband while it aired, as an adult fresh out of high school. I thought the show was a really creative idea to show music to younger kids. Growing up in a small town that had a really thriving indie rock music scene. Plus, knowing several people who either where in bands or would later on in a few years become musicians. I felt they where hitting on a interesting demographic.
Especially how lots of schools, mine included had gotten rid of their School Band classes.
I was really impressed with the quality of the songs. Plus, being designed as a classic garage rock band, it was cool to see the writers of the show explore other music genres.
I remember being so mad that the show revolved around breaching the sister's privacy, but still watched it either way lmao
I love Grojband! The music in my opinion was amazing! I also used to have a huge crush on Corey! Seriously underrated!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who remember this show
Random suggestion, but I'd love to see you talk about what happened to Detentionaire
I loved this show when it was on! And yes I just assumed everyone knew about it😂
Yu
28:46 1) This is a Canadian cartoon. 2) Shrinking down into people's body came from the movie Fantastic Voyage 3) It happens in anime too.
GrojBand actually was quite popular in Australia, and ran on our programming for many years, I think it was the same for New Zealand and Canada, but the airing on cartoon network and where it was placed, kinda ruined it as it wasn't very popular in the us because of a bunch of these reasons. Also fun fact, if a second season did air, they planned to make it so that Corey, realised his feeling for Laney and Laney had moved on, switching the roles entirely.
In my country this show played at night, so most people never caught it since there are better shows happening at night. But I really liked the show. Also it's crazy that you did a video on this since I've been thinking about this show again lately
omg i loved this show!! Grojband and Camp Lakebottom were my faves growing up
No WAY YOU REMEMBER CAMP LAKEBOTTOM?!?!?!
YES CAMP LAKEBOTTOM HOLY SHIT I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT THE NAME OFIT WAS
This cartoon was a staple of my early teen years, I wish it had gotten more seasons cause the premise and characters were interesting.
I remember loving that show as a kid
I even remember Corey being my first kin
I walked up to school telling people to call me Corey; i remember i wanted to dye my hair blue and start a band
I didnt accomplished what i wanted (the head master had to pull me to explain how changing your name works; my mom bought me party hair dye, which sucked balls; and i had -10 experience with music)
Still, it was nice to revisit the show recently
I love this cartoon so much! I’m so happy you did a video on this!
I found out about Grojband when I was on Tumblr (I lived on the Total Drama tag) and I really wanted to get into it, but someone I really hated was a big fan of the show, so I ended up dropping it all together
This series was my first one where I actually shipped something lol. I remember doing cartwheels in the yard of my house when I saw the accidental kiss (As a context, I actually don't know how to do cartwheels, so you can imagine the result).
I didn't recognize this show until you showed the diary part! That just really rang a very loud bell in my brain
I was a giant fan back in the day and I vividly remember the schedule so I can offer clarification on that. It premiered on CN in June 2013 and they aired one 11-minute episode every week day for the first 26 half-episodes. And then the show vanished. Sometime in early 2014 the second half of the season ended up online, I believe because it continued airing regularly in Canada? And it was officially released later on the Cartoon Network app/website. In hindsight the show was totally screwed over by CN with terrible scheduling.
I just started watching this video and didn’t recall ever seeing this show, but felt like the animation/characters looked weirdly familiar, than when you played the clip of that dude talking it came back to me, it so weird because if I didn’t see this video I most likely would never have remembered it
I actually loved this show cause I liked shows like 6teen and total drama and stoked. I’m sad it was so short tho.
I remember being extremely addicted to this show a few years back. I freaking love this show! Thanks for covering it! :) 🔥
Thank you for covering hidden gems like this show. I miss how ridiculous it was and I loved it.
I watched quite a bit of this show and loved it to the extent that I would wear an undershirt under my top and pull one side of it down like the characters. I really liked this show. That was a very cringy part of my life but I loved it.
Good timing with this video. I actually started watching Grojband again a while ago.
My favorite episode from Grojband was when Corey played this possessed guitar and ditched his old one, but then the new guitar wouldn't let him stop playing and we got this killer song that became an absolute favorite of mine. I don't know the title, I just remember "No, I won't play, not today."
You’re comedy genuinely makes me smile thank you 🥺
i love this show! They were actually planning for a season 3 and sort of focus on Laney & Corey's relationship. Idk why they stoped this show. I actually though they would do season 3 when i was gone watching other shows but i guess i was wrong.
Oh my god I LOVED this show! You just unlocked a core memory of it existing-
I didn't watch it on TV, but when I did discover it, I loved it, also because of the humor, characters and yeah, the music, because while the songs were really short, many of them were really good, and even if they weren't, they were still alright.
Can't believe this show was never more popular. It's so fun to watch. Thanks for making this! 😊
watching ur video made me remember so many lost memories in my life omg-
