- Dexter's Laboratory might be the reason some of your favorite animated shows exist. Some of the best Dexter's Lab episodes are still referenced in popular culture today and there's a good reason for that. Cartoon Network made out well with their first fully animated original show and Genndy Tartakovsky created something special. Dexter's Laboratory knew something far too many shows at the time didn't, and in turn, it reshaped careers and in some ways, a lot of the television space with its success.

What show or movie do you want to see me cover next?
Not much has been better.
It would blow my mind if you talked about the LOTR animated movie.
Invader Zim
Code Lyoko would be sick.
Adventure Time
Man I never knew that Dexter's had such an all star group of guys working on it.
It made them all stars 😁
@@ssgoko88 And other's ended up getting kicked off their own shows *cough cough* Chris Savino.
Same here.
It’s crazy isn’t it??
That's why it was so good !!!
Dexter finally gets the credit he deserves. This is literally one the first cartoons I remember as a kid.
me too...

One of my favs

That "dad's trophy" joke was a critical miss when I was a kid.
Same. It really makes me want to revisit this show.
OHHHH
You probably didn't know than right?! 😂
i dont get it
@@PurpleSneakers72 DeeDee left as a clue for Dexter
I’m a grown ass man and there are still days when Mandark’s hahaha hahaha haha plays in my mind.
That episode where its focused on Mandark, and the entire episode is in his laugh pattern. Even when he's eating and brushing shit teeth. I do that from time to time as a joke still.
Lol just reading that made me remember his laugh.
I laugh like that from time to time and people give me looks
Ha-HAH

@@poweroffriendship2.0 I HATE KIDS WITH FUNNY ACCENTS!!!
Dexter's Lab inspired me to get an engineering degree cause I thought I could have a hidden lab of my own.
I owe a lot to Dexter's Lab. It probably gave me a direction in life. Forever thankful.
Same, my mom named me after her second smartest classmate in high school before this show aired and it so happens that I got the same name as the protagonist. I got a leaning to science because of that show.
Conveniently choosing any course wasn't a problem so I took engineering then taking a physics course rn while having a full time work. Forever thankful as well
But do you have your hidden lab?
@@mroran7513 i wish i had a hidden lab! Haha

Me: dexter is a very good cartoon i enjoyed as a kid
Nerdstalgic: *EVERYTHING IS BASED ON DEXTER. OUR MERE EXISTENCE IS ONLY A RESULT OF THE SHOW AIRING ON CARTOON NETWORK*
To be fair it DID accomplish alot.
He's slightly dramatic lol
@braden7180 it was actually, all cartoon network shows we all grew up with love and remember from our childhood(HB not included) are actually very late 90s shows, some even early 2000s, ducktales basically kickstarted the tv animation renaisance and for years disney was the only ones making amazing animated shows, the only other good shows at that time was rugrats and ren and stimpy other than disney and nicks original 2 shows, 90s cartoons were absolute garbage for years until about 1995 when both CN and nick began to really take this seriously
You drink, you eat and you breathe Dexter. Dexter is the sky, the stars, the sun, the earth and the ocean. You are Dexter and I'm Dexter too
@@GloomyGhost28 Dexter is love, Dexter is life.
I was hoping it would mention somewhere a tribute to Christine Cavanaugh, the voice of Dexter. R.I.P.
Hailey Ivy I know right?! She even did the voice of Chucky from The Rugrats, & Oblina from Ahh Real Monsters.
RIP Shantoto
Thanks for the tribute info. Didn't mention the crappy return too. Lol is that a follow-up idea for what not to bring back?

Still can't believe the creator of Dexter's Laboratory went on to create beautiful action cartoons like Samurai Jack, the Clone Wars microseries, Sym-Bionic Titan and the upcoming Primal. Out of all his shows, this is the one that deserves more attention.
Michael Strong hey pal, have you seen the “First Ever Person born in Antarctica” by an Australian guy named TRUthuRIMUS The Great? I stumbled upon it while I was bored and I want to spread the word because it’s interesting.
I also believe Sym-Bionic Titan deserves a revival to finish things like Samurai Jack received. At a time when I grew distant from western animation, Sym-Bionic Titan was amazing to me and I'm very sad it ended right away.
he worked on the clone wars cgi series and made the hotel transvlenia series which had 3 movies...
@@razkable He didn't do the CGI show. He only created the hand-drawn miniseries that aired in the early 2000's.
Medachod I think the problem with SBT though is that it was written off and thus CN isn’t legally able to reair it again
What I love about Dexter is that it doesn't hand out funny lines for a few laughs but has layers of witty and thought out substance which you can break through on your own. In the Hanna barbera Era, cartoons were basically animated sitcoms with funny dialogue. It had its own charm but this new Era brought power puff girls, Foster's home for imaginary friends, codename knd and so many more cartoons that trusted that their audience are smart and can enjoy whatever abstract and absurd the idea can be.
Perhaps the one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed from the show came from the episode when Dexter ordered and consumed the biggest burrito I've ever seen in a cartoon. He spent the rest of the episode dreading his demise before ultimately accepting the inevitable and settled his affairs.
He goes to his parents to give them the grim news and lets out one of the largest, loudest, most obnoxious farts in all of cartoon history. (Seth MacFarlane eat your heart out) Then, when the last echo fades away, we see Dexter standing in place, red as a radish with embarrassment and the family television blasted into the wall.
To this day, I still die with laughter every time I watch it again. What a wonderful show Dexter's Laboratory was.
I'm currently in the process of re-watching Dexter's Laboratory right now. I haven't gotten to that episode just yet, but I should be arriving at it soon. I didn't know what to expect when I first watched that one, but it definitely wasn't that! lol
Dexter is basically Tony Stark for MCU. A boy genius that started our 90s and 2000s cartoons.
Hope Tony had a sister like dee dee.. that wud have been fun..😂
Yea
The jimmy before jimmy
Johnny Bravo?
Nerdstalgic needs to do a video on Hey Arnold! That series has aged incredibly well. Especially in hindsight when you see all that made it past the censors.
Kyle Parkerson agree!!
Kyle Parkerson oh absolutely I’d love to see a Hey Arnold! vid
YES TO THIS!
I grew up with Hey Arnold and still remember it fondly. It was so complex for the time, it's really more like the kind of cartoons you see today.

I remember when CN announced the 30+ new episodes would be coming. I didn’t even realise I had been watching the same dozen episodes over and over for years. Good times
_I am glad to have grown up in the time where Dexter's Laboratory help shaped Cartoon Network and also follow creator Genndy Tartakovsky's other works since then._

Because of Dexter I wanted to become a scientist and work in a lab, turns out I suck at Chemistry/Physics/Maths, but it was still a great show hah

@@RaaneaEV wow that's so cool! I'm so happy for you hah
Lab work is horrible, in my opinion. You didn’t miss out on much.
For the longest time I had no idea this show was made by the person that did Samurai Jack. Genndy Tartakovsky made Cartoon Network possible and put it on it's prime.
Dan Povenmire, one of the Family Guy writers, created both Phineas and Ferb & Milo Murphy's Law
Craig McCracken also did Wander Over Yonder for Disney Channel
Genndy Tartakovsky often did a cartoon movie which is Hotel Transylvania
dan povenmire was also a writer for spongebob and rockos modern live
@@RangoAnimations The creator of SpongeBob was one the writers of Rocko's modern live.
I was very young when I first saw dexters lab. But I remember the first time I saw it. I was immediately drawn to it. The fact he was "Dexter boy genius" made me want to learn and actually motivated me do very well in school by setting this incredibly high bar of unrealistic technology attainable by somebody so young. As an adult, it sounds incredibly cheesy but as a kid, it meant a lot.
i’m convinced you’re artificial intelligence that just pumps out quality short documentary style videos
"Your club is for big idksc"

‘Big geeks’ perhaps
Big Dicks I got it
I didn’t get this for years. Only upon watching the episode maybe a decade later did it click.
I feel like that’s the mark of a good cartoon- you can watch and rewatch it and manage to catch something that you didn’t the first time
Dexter: "But I don't want to be an evil contaminated chicken"
Dee Dee: "then don't scratch!"
dEeDeE WHAT ARE YOU DOING in my LAboRAATorY?!?
So what you're saying is that _Gendy_ created our childhoods and that Butch Hartman would be nothing without him. Ha!
No Dexter=No Powerpuff Girls No Foster’s Home No Family Guy No American Dad No Cleveland Show No Teenage Robot No Samurai Jack No Fairly Oddparents No Danny Phantom No TUFF Puppy No Bunsen Is A Beast No Johnny Test No Super Noobs No Wow Wow Wubbzy No Ying Yang Yo No Cartoonstitute (Which Got Us Uncle Grandpa) No Loud House
And Definitely No Ted! You Can Thank The What A Cartoon Show For That.
No wow wow Wubbzy?
Thank you Dexter 🛐
I doubt anyone would want 'Bunsen is a Beast' or 'Supernoobs'.
You know The Cartoonstitute?
So true, What A Cartoon and Dexter's Laboratory were the foundations that Cartoon Network built it's empire of great Cartoons. It's true that before this, Cartoon Network was full of reruns of much older cartoons mostly from the 60s and 70s with no original content. Then in 1995/96 Dexter was born along with many other cartoons. What A Cartoon had many different cartoons under it's belt featuring one or two cartoons from each individual creator. Whilst shows like Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, etc managed to get their own shows with more episodes, others fell under the radar. However, Seth McFarlane created Larry & Steve which was the foundation of Family Guy. Larry & Steve only had 1 episode but without Larry & Steve, the'd be no Family Guy, American Dad or Cleveland Show and No Dexter would mean no Larry & Steve.
Without What A Cartoon, Cartoon Network would still be showing the reruns it started off with which have now long since transfered to Boomerang.
@@deepdevour2998 True
Seth MacFarlane was criminally talented, he also made Johnny bravo too!
WHAT
Seth was a writer on the show, as well as Butch Hartman
The person I remember being credited for Johnny Bravo was Van Partible.
he didn't make it
And later fell off, so Matt Stone and Trey Parker picked up the pieces and made a show that was not brain dead as family guy.
Fun fact: Genndy is also good friends with Rebecca Sugar, and helped her make the pilot for what would become Steven Universe.
He's like the hero we all needed
@@candicehoneycutt4318 He's the savior of animation as a whole.
Genndy Tartakowsky is the only person on Earth that can take a cliché fest starred by effing Adam Sandler like Hotel Transylvania and make it look funny as all hell.
love this. would Also love a johnny Bravo episode. either really loving the vids. really hits the nostalgia.
billy and mandy should come first
@@razkable yeah I miss Grim and Evil
@@razkable Hey, does anyone know how to like a comment more then once? thanks!
Creators of Johny Bravo and dexter were close friends.
One of my favorite things about this show was the brilliant voice acting by the entire cast. I had the pleasure of meeting the very delightful Candi Milo at the Emmys once, but wish I had also met Christine Cavanaugh before her passing. RIP Christine.
I have always named my computers after cartoon characters, Marvin, Bender, Blooregard, and the one I'm watching this on now, Dexter. I never realized the impact Dexter had, but now that you point it out, It's clear. You're 100% correct. Dexter was amazing.
Looking back, this show was really depressing given how many times Dexter got screwed over. Although, something that bothered me as a kid that still bothers me today is how did his parents never find out about his lab given its size, power needed, and crazy inventions around the house?
Well, the show clearly illustrates that his parents are oblivious in general, so them not finding out about his lab makes sense.
Though now that I think about it, their power bill must have been incredibly expensive to the point where they question about it.
If he can invent that stuff he can find a way to power it externally the source need not be in their house
Honestly, a lot of stuff we watched as kids is really depressing and filled with heavy undertones. Cartoons are actually happier now imo
I think i remember mind wiping coming up a few times
@@candicehoneycutt4318 a little TOO happy if you ask me. If you know what I mean 😃
Once again you blow me away with the quality of your content.

Wow these shows got a lot past my family lmao
i still dont get it
I see it now, it's clever how they got that one passed the censors.
@Pedro Ortega incorrect.

Your custom animations are very slick. Also, always happy to see love for my man Dex.
I grew up on WB and H&B cartoons. I was in my late 30's when Dexter's Laboratory came out. It was straight up FUNNY!!!
How are you holding up now
With a cane?
@@GaryOfPallet No not yet.I only raise cain.
@@schristy3637 Stay gold
Dexter was always one of my favorite CN shows, especially of the early era. I think it and Space Ghost Coast to Coast helped set CN apart from the competition and gave them their own vibe. The show itself was always a fun ride with a lot more cinematic stylization than you wouldn't see from most other shows. Even now, there are still a ton of episodes that I remember (dodgeball, fishing, clues, back of the bus, star trek convention, were-clown, etc). While I wouldn't say that it was the first show of the 90s to do the "two-levels of humor" thing, as Animaniacs, Rocko, and even Rugrats all did the same before Dex (even Ren and Stimpy in their own way), but it is definitely a charm of the show. While Samurai Jack is still my favorite of Genndy's so far, Dexter is still definitely up there.
Always loved the Dexter's Laboratory cartoons, they still stick with me to this day. 1996 was a crazy year for me and Dexter's Laboratory was one of the few things that kept me sane and entertained. Plus like you said, it helped shape future cartoons that I also enjoy. Gonna dig out that Dexter's Laboratory VHS and play it (Yes I still have VHS tapes). Also, I love the music you used in this video.
Thank you for uploading this. I really loved this show when I was a kid.
So happy to have discovered your channel. Right in the nostalgia feels
Wow when you started talking about the people behind Dexter's lab i got chills. Really impressive how one project joined a great group of talented individuals to then help them create their own incredible works.
All of your videos are absolutely amazing and bring me back to my childhood!!! Amazing work, love em!!!
You just took me on a journey with this video man, good job! And I swear I've seen every single Dexter's Lab episode featured in this video plus many more.
Such a great show that I didn't realize had such an impact in such an interesting way! Can't wait to see what you cover next
Oh finally Dexter's lab! My all time favorite. Why? I had to wait until 3pm to watch an hour or two of Looney Toons in TNT. When my father came home one day and told me that there was a new channel that was 24/7 cartoons, that was the most exciting news I have ever heard. Then after a few years of watching Hana-Barbara's masterpieces, Dexter appeared. And I identified with him 100% since I am scientifically inclined, had an annoying sister and always wanted my own lab. I was the real life Dexter in my mind. Suddenly I was not alone, at last someone else understood. I had to wait a very long time to discover who was the legendary Genndy Tartakovsky that was always in the credits of my favorite toons. I also waited with hope that someday Dexter could be back. I'm still hoping it does in some way. So of you are reading this Genndy, please bring back Dexter
This guy talks as if he speaks any louder, his parents will hear.

This is one of the most important video from tour channel, props
This channel truly popped out of nowhere and immediately caught my attention..great content overflowing with nostalgia
One of my all time favorites. Every time I watch dexter I can't help but get entertained, no matter how old I get.
I grew up with Dexter; I'm 29 now and the show is even better than I remembered. I found myself cracking up constantly.
There is DOOOOOOM AND GLOOOM!
For real though I became a chemist because of this cartoon,crazy but true.
Today's my birthday and you have blessed me with a post! Thank you!
You wouldn't believe I was just watching Dexter's laboratory before watching your video, I still love the show. Nice video
I watched the very first Dexter’s Lab Cartoon Cartoon the first time it ever aired on television growing up and have been a fan ever since. Great video.
It’s amazing how much of an impact this show had.
What's even crazier is that Dexter would've never existed if Genndy didn't gained experience working with another show. Before Dexter, he worked on 2 Stoopid Dogs, and he later had the opportunity to make his own show. Without 2 Stoopid Dogs we wouldn't have Dexter and so many shows that Dexter spawned. You have a start somewhere
I keep going into these videos thinking "really? Every single show we liked as a kid was important? Seems like a stretch." And i keep walking away from them being proven utterly wrong.
Awesome episode
Dexter's Lab was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. Great video and subbed!
My mind has officially been BLOWN!!! My jaw literally dropped at several points in the video :00 amazing work!
Can you go over the "hannah Barbara" era? You mentioned it a lot and I'm not familiar with it
Joeger - yessss!!!!
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were behind a lot of "golden oldies" like Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones and The Jetsons, to name a few. Definitely worth a video!
@@BlondeCurlsBlueEyes Don't forget some of the later additions to the Hanna/Barbera dynasty like SWAT KATS: The Radical Squadron, The Pirates of Dark Water, and the Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures.
It’s an old style of cartoon one that was basically followed for a long time. If you see any of the flinstones , jetsons or older scooby doo you’ll get a general idea of the art style. Basically Hannah barbara were the ogs next to looney tunes of course
In short, Hanna and Barbera started making cartoons for TV syndication, which at the time time was incredibly rare to unheard of. It basically meant they had to make a new episode every week in a time when animations were incredibly slow to make. So they started using a method called Limited Animation. They limited the amounts they had to draw by making the movements quick, and repeating backgrounds. Examples would be characters moving quickly are just blurs (don’t have to animate the initial movement), and why most of their main characters had a neck item. This way they could move the head and use it to talk, whilst keeping the rest of the body still.
They were incredibly successful, but it also became an issue. They needed to keep making more and more, and the demand was overwhelming it caused them to have many shows that were clearly rehashes of other popular shows (popular shows like Scooby, was followed by 10s of detective shows with an oddball mascot, Flintsones followed by other family sitcoms in different eras, Roman, Future etc), bad animation or voice overs, characters being copy pasted, exactly the same voices for different characters, and overall just a huge dip in quality. They still had some goldies (Jetsons for example), but it was an issue. Eventually they came out of the dip and Cartoon Network bought their back catalogue and hired them to help oversee/make newer cartoons for example Powerpuff Girls. How much influence they had at that point I have no idea though.
I think that’s the basic premise, there’s a lot more too it, which he could make a great video about, but if you’re interested in their style just look up limited animation. Also if you want to see their crazy catalogue I recommend searching it on google. It is insane how much they worked on and you can see why they had trouble keeping up. That said they always had some great ones mixed in with the bad.
When Dexter’s mom sneezed on his breakfast my whole life started to make sense
Happy u did Dexter's lab I remember the series fondly so I hope this channel has more great content
Quality Video dude. Dexter's Lab is a major part of my childhood as well:) I remember the movie premiering on CN :)
That was the show that got me into science.

Dexter's is one of those shows make me wish I could play with my parents mind so they don't know i have a secret lab in the basement
This show probably more than any other shaped my child hood. The kaju fights, the sibling fighting, and of course mandark and Dexter's rivalry.
Legit the best channel I have ever come across love the content man keep up the awesome work
This channel is great. Out of the blue. This video is so good.
Wow didn't know Seth was a writer on Dexter. Early seasons of Family Guy with Stewie having a secret lab in the house makes total sense now.
indeed.
Dexter has the cutest voice ever and I am saying this unironically!
I prefer when he was voiced by Candi Milo, that one was cuter
I realized while watching this video that Dexter is voiced by the actor who would go on to voice Chucky on Rugrats, so double adorable!
Thank you for this video, it was my childhood indeed
Really awesome video. I think I was watching hey Arnold which is why TH-cam sent me here but I can tell you are a fan of the show and the breakdown was really well done. Thank you.
Im glad this was part of my childhood :)
I feel like this guy just writes essays and then makes them into videos.
Like imagine if you were in english class and you had to do a google slide presentation on how Dexter's Laboratory changed animation.
That's basically what I think of when I watch these videos. Keep it up man👍
This is beautifully produced!
