All of them can u please do a dark toons episode of DC superhero girls 2019 #happybirthdayzee because it has birthday zombies.
I also recommend How To Haunt A House because in that one they do spend it all in a pretty mansion but Goofy dies right at the beginning and spends the whole cartoon as a ghost having to figure out how to haunt his new mansion and the ending with him and the quacker he's trying to scare is somewhat dark and really funny.
That would definitely be appropriate for Halloween.
One of my favorites from Mickey’s House of Villains. I don’t find it that dark though since the narrator even explains right from the start Goofy being a ghost is only temporary.
The darker toons from the villain takeover, “Donald’s Halloween Scare” and “Hansel and Gretel” were really good too. But probably not Dark Toons worthy.
@@Depth217 I love House of Villains! My rational for it is that even when temporary they still had Goofy get run over and the ending is literally Donald getting run over and he chases Donald right off a cliff. Hansel and Gretel was brilliantly animated but didn't really add anything to the darkness of the original story. Donald's Halloween Haunt did scare me as a kid but it only has the scene where the triplets are fake zombies. Maybe the entire thing could be analyzed as a Dark Toon of sorts, thought.
I think we can all agree that Goofy's "How to..." shorts are the best :D
@@MrKlausbaudelaire Absolutely. My favorite has to be the Home TV Setup one.
"Don't come back till you're ready!"
That's ICONIC coming from a medical examiner lol
I always thought when Goofy goes to hit the weasel with the blackjack that he’s just so inept that he knocked himself out, not that he knocked out the weasel but ended up in the alley himself.
Also, you know the writers toyed with the idea of instead of using goof balls they “slip him a Mickey”.
Probably too obvious. Not that knocking Goofy out with goof balls isn't, but it's a Goofy cartoon, so it works.
I always thought that the weasel was able to stop the club from hitting him, snatched it, and turned the tables
Glad this series is back. I would recommend The Joy from The Amazing World of Gumball
Either that or that Episode with the puppets
Exactly. The puppets. Critic, if you’re reading this, the puppet was made by the same people who made don’t hug me I’m scared. These puppets come alive and try to get the main characters to eat a jar of toenails in grease. Is it don’t hug me I’m scared styles song, a fantastic fourth wall joke where the main characters are turned into filled puppets and you get to see the performers in green screen suits, definitely put it on your list!
I loved 'the joy' it was the first time I have heard the moonlight sonata
Boo
great idea
Nice to see this series is coming back. I recommend Jack and the Haunted House from Samurai Jack.
Edit: Another suggestion came to my mind. "It's A Wishful Life" from Fairly Odd Parents. Episode is an It's A Wonderful Life spoof but Timmy learns world is better and everyone is happier without him.
Yeah, pretty damn Mean Spirited for It's a Wishful Life. Like....WOOOOOOOOW, they just demanded Timmy be crapped on in that episode lmao
oh yeaa that's such a good episode!
It’s not a spoof. It’s called It’s a Wonderful Life-inspired episode that was hated by majority.
Jack and The Haunted House would be a GREAT EPISODE also Jack and The Zombies or Jack in Egypt
@@thing1thing2themediamaniac43 Hell yeah on 'Jack and the Zombies'! That one was nightmare fuel!
I mean, technically they did figure out how to do a woman in the goofy-verse eventually...Peg from Goof Troop
LOL My thoughts exactly…
Good point, though she's more of a... whatever Pete is, haha. Still in the Goofy-verse, just probably not a goof
@@doslover Pete started as a bear in the Alice shorts. Once Mickey was created, he became a cat.
@@motxmod he also appeared to be a bear in the Oswald shorts right?
@@valerievargas1548 Yes
As a fan of '40's and '50's film noir, this looks delightfully dark and funny! So many tropes make an appearance.
I’ve always wanted to watch some noir films but don’t know which ones fall into that category. What are some you recommend?
@@Kevmaster2000 Double Indemnity, the Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Shock, and the Postman Always Rings Twice are all solid ones.
I definitely want to see any cartoon Disney wouldn’t show.
If you haven’t already I’d be interested in your take on Rock and Rule.
How about The Devil And Daniel Mouse?
@@Daviticus042 ahh yes!
I'm so happy this series is back. I honestly missed the hell out of it
Me too
My dad had a collection of these Goofy how-to cartoons on DVD, and I watched all of them CONSTANTLY, including this one. It's actually been a while, I need to watch them all again. Putting Goofy in how-to videos was comedic perfection!
I especially love the one where he learns how to skii xD
My dad and l love the how to play sports ones. The comedic timing is sheer perfection
Ah-Yuck!
Nice to see this series come back
I recommend "The Ed's are Coming" from Ed Edd n Eddy. It was a part of Cartoon Network Invaded Specials but the episode works on its own and is even more creepy on its own.
That actually scared me as a kid
What able "The Day the Ed Stood Still"?
Was that the one where Ed became a classic sci-fi monster?
@@SHYKOOPA No, that's "The day the Ed Stood Still" which is also a good episode
It's not a Dark Toon, but my favorite Goofy cartoon is Motor Mania. You should react to that one sometime. It's a timeless classic, featuring Goofy in a Jekyll and Hyde role as the calm, restrained Mr Walker and the wildly angry and unleashed Mr Wheeler.
He talked about that one in the video "Is Goofy Secretly Badass?"
I loved seeing that in Driver's Ed class.
That thing is used in driver’s ed even here on Brazil
They would show Motor Mania to us in defensive driving class where I lived ten years ago. Pretty fitting place to show it tbh
I once had to watch that when I got a moving violation and had to go to traffic school!
Nice anti- road- rage short!
I love this series. Just how passionate he is about them and how well he breaks down the details and techniques of the cartoons in the art styles and shadows and humor, he's so good at putting it into words and I'm all here for it
I remember watching his cartoon when I was a little kid and you heard the guy screaming as he's getting thrown off the bridge.
Hey Doug, I got a request: “Operation: F.A.S.T.-F.O.O.D.” from _Codename: Kids Next Door._ It has basically the same premise as “Heads of Beef”, only this episode takes that idea a little bit further.
Ok, i know the villain involved, but i can't remember the plot.
You know that episode would be better? Operation P.I.N.K.E.Y.E
What about Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E.?
Yeah that was a messed up episode, not the darkest but the concept was really sinister. Really scary that the happy little kid shark was so eager to eat a human child while being completely ignorant of what he was doing.
Let's not forget "Operations S.P.A.N.K.; L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N.; and S.P.A.N.K.E.N.S.T.E.I.N.". All which feature Count Spankulot.
“Party of one” from mlp and “northwest manor mystery” from gravity falls should be covered
I saw this one on television some time in the late eighties, probably alongside a showing of Roger Rabbit. The wild, over-the-top violence stuck with me, I always die laughing at the phone booth that just gets riddled with bullets for no reason XD
I remember this Goofy cartoon, haven't seen it in years though but i do remember how dark it really was.
і hатe иіggeѓѕ because i make beter viideos 🧀🍩🍩🍩
Yeah you see this gag on the movie The Mask. Where he's shot dozens of times and he's like miss me and then he drinks some water and water pours out of his numerous bullet holes and he's like I guess not.
I recommend the Ben 10 episodes Last Laugh and Ghostfreaked Out as they are connected, the latter episode being a follow up to Last Laugh and they are possibly the scariest and darkest episodes in the entirety of a mostly light-hearted, super hero franchise. And if those episodes get you interested, check out the Ben 10 Omniverse episode, Something Zombozo This Way Comes, it’s not nearly as dark or scary as the previous two episodes but it features the return of the main villain of Last Laugh, the soul eating killer clown, Zombozo!
I think there are UAF episodes darker than those two. Especially Last Laugh. My picks among those would be Prisoner 775 Is Missing and Enemy Of My Frenemy. They are not that dark visually but stories are pretty dark.
Happy to see that Dark Toons is back!
I suggest you check out an episode of the DCAU’s Static Shock (based on the Static Comics) titled “Jimmy”, and it gets pretty dark, and in a grounded real life kind of way. That’s all I’m gonna say, but trust me. It’s something dark.
@Amanda Austin there’s tons of other episodes of other shows involving firearms, for example, “Deadly Force” from Gargoyles.
@Amanda Austin agreed
I'm so glad we're getting more of these! I'd really like to see you do the "Total Drama Island" episode "Hook, Line & Screamer".
Ehhhh......Idk, Hook, Line & Screamer isn't.....that scary.
@@romdan7136 I was terrified of it as a kid
@@romdan7136 I think it's JUST scary enough to qualify.
Total drama isn’t really a show for little kids, so I don’t think it would qualify.
i don't know if this counts but i recommend "and then she was gone..." from as told by ginger. it's a more emotional dark, but touches on how we express ourselves and those effects on others.
The Donner party episode of As Told by Ginger used to freak me out
@@haythebug5290 Ginger really was an awesome show. highly relatable, even now (maybe with some tweaks). and i actually loved how the characters had legitimate growth and development. a couple other "dark" episodes in the show were the times carl had to experience death ("carl and maude" and the one where his teacher died).
@@cabbitness1983 I remember vividly the "fake up" and learning to shave her legs. I was in the right age range that it coincided with me
@@haythebug5290 oooooh that was a great episode! and still relevant about what we define as beautiful. i loved lois' initial reaction (very believable lol) but she still is there for ginger...and the other girls too.
but my favorite episodes are honestly any time dodie and/or miranda get bitch-slapped with reality for their actions. granted i like dodie more than miranda, but both of them were horrible, selfish friends.
@@cabbitness1983 I agree, they were awful friends for the most part
One of my favorite examples of putting Goofy in adult situations is when he's still allowed to be, well, Goofy! Still absent minded, still dorky, but dealing with more mature themes.
There's this, there's Father's Day Off (Goofy's wife cheating on him with the deliverymen is funny enough, but him just assuming they're friendly is hilarious), there's Teachers are People too, even A Goofy Movie can be thrown in the mix. It's like watching SpongeBob, or Homer, or Soos. That contrast between innocence and cynicism is the real thing that makes this fun
To think, people actually think it was "shocking" and "dark" seeing Goofy get hit by a falling rock in Kingdom Hearts 2. Man, hope such people never see this cartoon they might have an existential crisis XD
Even as a kid I was never that shocked by that scene in KH2, since I had seen enough Goofy cartoons to know he'd be fine.
@@Gamer3427 I know right? Like honestly, that moment felt more like the story was just auto fellating itself. Hell the majority of KH2 onwards feels like the series is auto fellating itself....
@@Gamer3427 Ok?.
@@TeryJones And?.
Maybe because people haven't seening this??????????.
I don't know if this would count but I always remembered the goofy cartoon 'Motor Mania' from 1950 and the face he gets after he sits behind the wheel.
They actually showed us this cartoon at a class we had to take to get our learners permit and start our lessons.
Nice to see Dark Toons is back! I'm going to recommend The Amazing World of Gumball episodes to you until you cover one. "The Joy" is one people point to a lot and it is a good one, I'd recommend "The Puppets" as well. It's a typical creepy puppet story but they got the people from "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" on board, which is fun. I'd also recommend looking at some episodes of The Cuphead Show. "Ghosts Ain't Real" is a fun homage to creepy cartoons from back in the day like "The Skeleton Dance", while an actual dark episode would probably be "The I-Scream Man" where Mugman just snaps.
Glad to see this series making a comeback as it was one of my favourites. I would recommend watching 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'. Just the whole thing. Super dark.
YES!! YESS!! YESSSS!!
Animals of Death Wood
Animals of Farthing Death
Animals of Death Death
@@TrocaTheNero Fellow Caddicarus fan?
@@NumberNegativeZero Heck yes.
The saying "they just don't make em like they used to" holds So much more meaning when it comes to these old dark cartoons.
It wouldn’t really fit since it’s not dark as in intimidating or scary. But the episode “Find Her, Keep Her” from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (which you spoke about at length in your Disneycember 2019) is known for being one of the most dramatic, mature Pooh stories ever told, right behind Pooh’s Grand Adventure.
Maybe for Nostalgiaween, you could do a quick Dark Toons on Ed, Edd n Eddy's Boo Haw Haw, since it is a Halloween special, and it has Ed's imagination turning the other kids into monsters and it's just, to me, hilarious.
Love Boo Haw Haw- the three holiday specials seemed to give each Ed a spotlight (Jingle Jingle Jangle for Eddy, Hanky Panky Hullabaloo for Double D) and Boo Haw Haw was Ed’s time to shine. Since he’s my favorite of the trio, I find Boo Haw Haw to be the funniest special too.
I recall a disturbing episode from an old Claymation show called Gogs. The show is largely just a gross out, fart jokey show so I can't say I recommend it for most people, but this one episode really stuck with me.
It involves the grandpa of this caveman family dying from eating a poisonous fruit and getting buried. The grandson is at the grave and watches the grandpa rise from the dirt in a really freaky way.
Not sure you'll get into the general humor, but that scene alone was one of the scariest things I ever saw in my whole childhood.
Doug watch The Powerpuff Girls Season 1, Episode 5, Abracadaver.
It have a Zombie Magician in it, it would be Prefect to do for a Dark Toons Episode.
Let's see... Zombie (With the backstory of how he died even), Blossom nearly tossed inside a spiked coffin, Buttercup locked in a box apparently about to be cut in half... Yeah, I'd say it's perfect for a Dark Toons episode...
Man I'm so happy that Dark Toons is back :D
Some great Dark Toons videos would be the Gravity Falls mansion episode and Halloween episode.
Graveyard Shift from Spongebob. It's even darker than Nasty Patty that you already covered
Sheesh! And you thought the one with Donald Duck having that nightmare of that detective book he was reading all those years ago was bad enough!
The "how to get fit at home" one with Goofy was the funniest thing I've seen as a kid, next to the one where Donald builds an instant-plane that melts mid-flight. Both had me in tears. The way they use music makes it funnier.
I’ve seen that one, and it is funny👍🏻👍🏻💯.
Great episode!
My suggestion for Dark Toons is the "Hypochondri-cat" (name might be wrong) from Looney Tunes. Basically a hypochondriac cat is tricked by the mice into thinking he's sick and dying.
Yes! That one is delightfully dark.
hell yes, dark toons returns! 💕
doug's appreciation for the older goofy shorts is infectious, there's some hilarious content in those old ones
YAY!!! More crazy Disney Shorts!
8:27 Literally giving him the shaft, ha, good one. Thats actually funny
*Shadows of characters being hanged*
Doug: "That's Disney!"
*Immediately thinks of Clayton's death in Tarzan*
Me: "Yep."
I remember that show that with play music videos and you would have the various Disney cartoons playing in the background. It was called DTV. And the Hall and Oates song Private Eye. Featured this goofy detective cartoon.
I didn't expect a Goofy 'How to' cartoon to be this scary.
Yes! I’ve been requesting this one!
What's the scariest cartoon that Doug watched that scared the pants out of him?
Good to see the return of Dark Toons. I'd recommend Tiny Toons: Toons From the Crypt-Night of the Living Pets. Along with One More Drink, its the other Tiny Toon episode that got banned.
I always used to say (albeit talking about video games) the measure of a good background is how disappointed you are when you realize it's just a background and you can't go there.
I loved this, it was hilarious, wish there was a place to check out older Disney cartoons
Glad this series has made a return!
I like the fact that he changed the intro to mostly cartoons that he’s covered on this series before.
I really like these Dark Toons videos. Not only is it cool to learn more about all these dark cartoons, but I like how laid back and relaxed Doug is.
I remember this one from my childhood. My sister and me used to watch it a lot. I remember being scared at times, especially with the escene where you see all the people murdering each other,specially the guy hanging....fuckin damn dark...also funny as all hell. The sound effects are burned into my brain with some details like the inner pockets in the coat
Also nice that this is a film noir parody from when the genre was still somewhat current, especially given how many film noir parodies have been made in the decades since.
This is my favorite Goofy short! A smile popped on my face when I got this notification! I hope you enjoy it!
Super happy to see this is back! I know this is a quite recent cartoon but I would recommend u checking out the Amazing world of Gumball episode - "The puppets".
Apparently the puppets were made and designed by the same guys who made "Don't hug me I'm scared" a psychological, horror series.
An excellent review of a classic cartoon. Keep covering the good stuff!
This series is awesome keep em comin!!!
Dang, I had seen everything in this series so far... until now. You got me!
One of my favorite jokes about the Goofy cartoons and how violent they were, there is an episode of House of Mouse (I remember you did a Disneycember of it one time) where Max was trying to convince Goofy to get him a car, and shenanigans ensue convincing Goofy that Max isn’t responsible. In response, Mickey and Friends pull out a compilation of “Goofy’s younger days driving” with the old Goofy shorts where he’s exhibiting road rage and getting into accidents and basically calling out Goofy for not being a responsible driver himself, and I think that’s a funny way to bring in the older stuff as almost a “Kids, here is an example of what NOT to do.”
Good to have you back. And good to see this back.
Glad dark toons is back loved this series. Though more just enjoy Doug talking about cartoons
OK, now that you've covered a detective-themed cartoon, go for the Daffy Duck short "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery"
The payoff of the whole scenario is kinda hohum but the Duck Twacy sequence has a blazingly surreal climax. You'll never see Sylvester the same way again.
Alan Reed did a voice similar to that fancy narrator voice in the "Flinstones" episode that was a play on Cinderella. Fred's fairy godmother turns him into Frederick J. [Unintelligible Noise], who speaks very properly, so he can attend a party given by Mr. Slate . Of course, at Midnight, Fred suddenly regains his normal gruff voice and has to flee.
I have a Courage The Cowardly Dog suggestion, you should check out the episode "Profiles Of Courage" where an old man makes life size paper cut outs of Muriel and Eustace and those cut outs come to life and steal Muriel and Eustace's lives.
I'd like to recommend The Silly Symphony 'Who killed Cock Robin'. To put it simply, the short is a musical murder trial. It's funny but also disturbing.
The Song of the Birds: Two cartoons of this title, one a 1935 cartoon directed by Max Fleischer, and a 1948 remake featuring the character Little Audrey. Basic premise is a child shoots a baby bird with a toy gun, seemingly killing it. The parents of the bird grieve and hold a funeral. Might be interesting to compare the two versions.
Peace on Earth: An elderly squirrel tells his grandchildren the story of how humans went extinct due to their love of war. Also has a remake called "Good Will to Men."
The Pincushion Man (also called Balloon Land): a strangely phallic shaped pincushion creature wants to murder living people made of balloons (and he does).
Animaniacs 2020 episode "Good Warner Hunting": A hunter hunts down the characters from the old show. Depictions of the characters with their heads mounted on the wall is not only dark but especially disturbing to old fans of the original (even if they are totally fine in the end).
Education for Death: Disney WWII propaganda cartoon about how Hitler's rule will lead the children of Germany to their deaths.
The Old Army Game: Donald Duck cartoon where Donald ends up in a situation where he is far too enthusiastic to commit suicide.
Most of the Little Audrey Shorts from that time are pretty dark and messed up (even if they end up "OK and having taught a lesson")... "Butterscotch and Soda" is another one in the same vein
one of my favorite cartoons. glad that you did an episode on this. the Goofy cartoons are some of the best from Disney.
I feel like because Goofy isn’t reacting to the horrible things happening to him, it doesn’t come off as dark as “Donald held at gunpoint” or “Mickey about to be dissected.”
Of course, this is still a great short and I feel like I missed it due to the amount of over the top violence that was on display. Still, I know I got a couple laughs watching this and Goofy is usually a great lead when he gets his chance in the spotlight.
Nice to see this series back again; I really love listening to your commentary on them. If I had to suggest a cartoon to look into, “The Cuphead Show” on Netflix has some pretty good episdoes - particularly “Ghosts Ain't Real”. Whole it’s not super dark in tone, it pays a ton of homage to cartoons you’ve already featured in this series, so I figured it would be a fun one to look into.
Another great episode Doug. I still recommend checking out the Samurai Jack Episode: "Jack and the Haunted House." Not gonna be annoying about it, but I will try and recommend it whenever these come out. Because I do like this series from you, and I like to see what shows/episodes get covered and hear your thoughts on it. Heck, maybe even see you get introduced to these shows through this series. Keep up the great work doug. :D
Doug would totally love this one. Samurai jack is already wildly different from contemporary cartoons and this episode is even more special then the series as a whole.
@@gersubdenis6724 And while it's featured among Adult Swims cartoons nowadays, back then it was originally shown on Cartoon Network, for kids to watch. It was honestly the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of dark cartoons made for kids. Granted Jack I think was always made with older kids in mind. But still, it would just be nice to see it covered.
Kids Next Door is a show that has a surprising amount of Dark moments. PINKEYE is one of them, but there are honestly different episodes that also get really dark.
I really want to see this cartoon now. I miss mean-spirited Disney. 😄
Yesss I've been asking for this one for ages!
Love these type of toons. Keep posting!!
Another Suggestion: The Wearin' Of T Green.
Our old pal Porky Pig stops by a mysterious mansion on a dark and stormy night seeking shelter. Little that he knows that the mansion is inhabited by leprechauns who are convinced that Porky is there to steal their pot of gold. Porky ends up wearing a pair of enchanted dancing shoes.
That is one of my favorite Looney Tunes Shorts!
Another toon that shocked me as a kid was "Chicken little" from 1942. The ending was a bit more chocking that the movie was.
I highly recommend “The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians: Episode 4: The Fear.” Airing in early October 1985 and written by Alan Burnett (DCAU, anyone?), this episode has the Scarecrow discovering that Batman (voiced by the late great Adam West) is afraid of a certain place called Crime Alley. This episode shows Batman in a way not yet seen at the time: truly vulnerable. It also features the first ever onscreen depiction of Batman’s origins, from his parents to Joe Chill. This is considered the darkest and most controversial Super Friends episode ever. I cannot recommend it enough.
I recommend “The Ringing of the bell” from Over the Garden wall. It’s very dark!
And yes I know this series is for shows made for little kids. But Over the garden wall is both. It has a demon that eats the souls of children but it also has a song called “Potatoes and Molasses”
The 1940s-mid 50s was the golden age of film noir. And so many other studios tried to cash in on it! Heck Universal studios even made some noir/horror films; one of which even had Bela Legosi as a crime boss! But I can't remember the title of it...
Finally! You're covering this one!!!
There was this one Donald Duck cartoon called "Donald's Camera" from 1941. It's mostly standard, although it opens up with Donald window shopping for a camera, where a sign in the window reads "shoot nature with a camera instead of a gun", in a shop right next to a sporting goods shop with a shotgun on display along with stuffed woodland creatures all having terrified faces. Throughout the short, a bird keeps on pestering Donald while threatening to destroy the camera. The ending was later censored (kind of hilariously) with a iris wipe to black just before Donald goes ballistic, turning into a literal electric flash and rushing for the shotgun in the opening then going after the bird. As a kid I hated that ending for that dark turn, despite the cartoon's average mean spiritness for a Donald short. It's up there along with Donald pulling out his gun at the end of "Magician Mickey", or maybe more so even.
This one did run here in Germany when I was a kid in the 90s, they actually showed a bunch of cartoons they wouldn't show today anymore, like the ones with Donald in the Army (except for when he joined the you-know-what army, that one obviously never made it here X3) and stuff like that, but this one I saw more than once back then, and I totally loved it. Big Film Noir fan to this day, maybe that came from this cartoon.
I adore this series and I really want to know where all the awesome art came from!
Tex Avery had some dark cartoons especially one called "Who Kill Whom?"
I remember a really dark moment in a Disney cartoon, where Donald Duck is the sheriff of a wild west town that is visited by the bandit Pete. Pete attacking the town is a moment used twice in both Goofy Two Gun and The Lone Chipmonks featuring Chip and Dale. This one is rather unique as it depicts Pete on a murder spree while robbing the bank and ends with Donald getting shot (off screen).
It was used an intro to the Goofy Two Gun cartoon if I remember correctly, making me suspect there are two versions of Goofy Two Gun.
Disney's Hell's Bells would be fun to see. Not really super DARK, but themed around a topic Disney is rather unwilling to utilize much these days, and probably a short they prefer to keep in their vault.
I looooooooooved this goofy cartoon! The how to goofys are great but this one is my favorite
Glad this series is making a return. Could you do Tex Avery's 'Who Killed Who?'next?
I'd label that cartoon as an epic masterpiece. It would have likely given me nightmares. Certain parts gave me nervous laughter.
Always loved this short
I always thought the weasel was like that one guy in the episode of I Love Lucy where he did every job in the town
It actually reminds me of an italian Goofy comic series (Pippo Reporter), it takes place in the 30s, where Goofy is accidentally hired as a reporter for the Morning Blot when he tried to order some pizza, but his boss is secretly a crime lord, and basically Goofy unknowingly ruins his evil plans by actually doing his job, this was a hilarious series ^^
Nice to see the series back. Also I recommend who kills who by Tex Avery
I loved Looney Tunes “Hyde and Hare” when I was younger
So glad this series is back. If you're looking for another "Dark Toon" to cover in the future, I highly suggest checking out 'Duncan Gets Spooked' from season five of Thomas the Tank Engine. I guarantee you're in for a treat there. 😉.
I love this short
You should check out a Cartoon Network mini-series called Over the Garden Wall. It has some exceptionally dark moments and beautiful symbolism. The backgrounds are absolutely stunning.
