Surprised you didn't mention how, after Evil Con Carne's cancellation, they made General Skarr into a recurring character on B&M, where his entire personality changed from "evil warmonger" to "guy who likes gardening" lol.
That doesn't do it justice, they didn't change his personality, they developed the character. His world domination plans fell through, and he was trying to put world domination behind him and move on, though several episodes showed he struggled to let it go.
Honestly it's not the gore and horror that I'm surprised they got away with. It's the stuff like Grimm flashing a group of kids screaming "Look at my body!" that somehow got past the censors that get me.
I love how most 2000s Cartoon Network shows were basically adult swim shows without swearing and direct sexual references and this show is epitome of that, my respect for everything this show got away with is astounding, god what a wonderful show and I would say that I want a revival but I don’t trust CN with that and you all know why
@@nobodybroda3826 Yes, and Teen Titans and Ben 10, I don’t think anyone wants to see one of the least kid friendly children’s programs of all time turn into a full blown kids show
My mom didn’t let me watch it after she saw the billy riding Eris scene out of context as soon as she came into the living room lol talk about crap timing
Lol my mom walked in, told me it was too violent of a show and while I was arguing with her I forget but someone throws something outside and it blows up for no reason leading to the end of me watching billy and Mandy
I remember my parents didn't want me or my siblings watching Grim and Evil, but only because of the Evil Con Carne segments. Once the shows branched off and my mom saw us watching Grim Adventures, we pointed out that it no longer had the Evil Con Carne segments and they, kinda just let us keep watching it.
I actually really like that episode where everyone vanishes from existence, mostly because it explored the depth of Mandy's cynicism? Like, that clip you showed where she says "helloooo?" and nobody replies, ends with a zoom on her face, Mandy smiling for one of the first times in the show, then saying " _perfect._ " and moving back home. It was really memorable to me since I only ever remember her smiling during two episodes of this show, and the idea that she's cynical enough to smile if the world ends is pretty fitting with the overall theme. She really _would_ make an amazing grim reaper.
The creepiest episode for me was that one where they put hyper realistic eyes on Billy. I wonder if that's where all those creepypastas got the idea from
One of my personal favorite shows growing up. Definitely felt different to watch nowadays due to how "out there" it was. Still love the tone and comedy in this one. Great video as always!
I forgot how oddly dark this cartoon was. The one episode that will always stick out in my mind is when Billy and Mandy have to stop themselves from turning into babies or something. It was kinda nerving as a kid but still went over my head as I was too young to fully get what was going on.
that episode terrified me. In the end when grim was desperately trying to flip his hourglass back around but couldn't because he was too small and weak filled me with such internal dread and sadness...especially the part when he eventually gives up and sadly waves goodbye before disappearing...why would they do that??
It's wasn't until Pan pointed it out in this video that I realized Season 1 was more dark and unnerving while season 2 and the rest of the seasons were more about slapstick. Honestly, I think it was for the best that the show ended after 6 seasons. Episodes like Nigel Planter and the Order of the Peanuts and the gym episode of the Secret Snake club showed that they were running out of ideas in the last season.
Yeah, the Sands of Time episode still bothers me, and I'm not even a kid anymore. I usually just sum it up as an 'episode reset' like Dexter's Lab would.
One of my favorite Cartoon Network shows, even when I started watching it at the "Yes" era, God Fred and Cheese were EVERYWHERE. My favorite all time bit I think about to this day is when Pud'n is so frightened, that he accidentally jumps out the school window multiple times, and is falling for several seconds because the school is on a large mountain peak for some reason. (Eris, with body of Francine Smith and the voice of Hailey Smith lol)
@@toon4thought I don't miss it. There is NO aesthetic there. It's just like a stag beetle, unlike her devil horns she got later in the show. But to each their own man, it was a lot better paced back then from what I remember.
I still remember how promotional ads for Wrath of the Spider Queen kinda tried to go in on the Spider-Man 3 hype since it came out around the same time.
I love how Maxwell Attoms got a chance to do the new direct to dvd Scooby film (Happy Halloween Scooby Doo) , knowing all the odd Hannah Barbera cameos he got in Billy and Mandy.
Watching the early and later seasons of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, felt like I was watching to completely different shows with the same name. Like the early seasons had Mandy smile often while the later is said to have never smile.
Lots of other countries don't have as big a concern for swearing as America does. I remember back in the late 2000's - early 2010's Cartoon Network lightened up on censorship and allowed show to have slightly stronger language, for example, season 1 of Regular show would have characters say 'crap' and 'screwed' at least once an episode. I believe this started with CN airing Total Drama Island, which already had the this stronger language being a Canadian show. Unfortunately, we've fallen back into a 'think of the children' mindset for cartoons on TV at least.
When people talk about scary scenes in children's shows why doesn't anyone ever talk more about the episode where Nergal Jr was hiding his classmates bodies inside snowmen. That freaked me out more than the episode with the hourglasses
Yeah, 11 year old me thought Fred Fredburger was hilarious. Looking back, I now realize just how clever and well written the rest of the show was in comparison.
Billy and Mandy was such a weird but hilarious show from CN, it had some of the best humor, characters, stories and even one of the best licensed video games ever made.
Keeper of the Reaper wasn't Fred Fred Burgers introduction. It was the episode where Grim hosted a sweepstakes to spend a day with his biggest fan and Fred was the only one who sent in any ballets.
In 3rd grade we had a drawing show-and-tell session. I got in trouble for drawing Billy from the "Super Zero" episode when he was a superhero that shot yogurt out of his armpits.
"No no the shows over, you're watching it in reverse" idk how you're afraid I asked my dad to find out what he says and my mother and father repeatedly said what the dude said in reverse but not reverse "No no the shows over you're watching it in reverse" which pissed me off until I got older and so did technology and I looked up a reverse app which finally made part of me rest in peace.. I'm not dead and neither is my parents, I called them after I found out and we laughed about it
My absolute favorite Cartoon Network show! Fun fact: Kid!me used to consider this show the Invader Zim of Cartoon Network because I mainly started watching cartoons after Zim was cancelled; I felt terrible growing up only knowing who Gir was and just wanted to be included with the other Hot Topic kids. ...Kid!me had some odd priorities.
I mean, it kind of was. Both shows have twisted sense of humor that got away with a lot of surprisingly inappropriate moments for kid shows and have massive cult followings.
" Nurgle, this underground tentacle monster. " Me: " Papa Nurgle's lawyers are filing a cease and desist for the name as we speak. We're summoning up the dead ones. "
I always liked this show, through all seasons and changes. One change I noted was at the beginning, Grim tended to hang out a lot with Billy, with Mandy being more of a bossy, controlling nuisance to him, but in the later episodes, Grim seemed to gain an admiration for Mandy’s mindset and determination. There were so many little things tossed into the show, whether it be the Greek and Sumerian myths and tales of the underworld, the old horror movie standbys, Irwin being part mummy and part vampire, some of the gross out humor, the boogeyman, the balance of both humor and terror. Something to look for, Billy’s parents resemble the Flintstones, and Mandy’s resemble the Jetsons.
Billy and Mandy has to be that one cartoon I didn’t find messed up as a kid, but wonder how the hell they got away with as much as they did as an adult.
@Cody Forsberg honestly I was the same. And can’t tell you why. Same with courage. Everyone always says how horrifying it was and I was always just laughing or enjoying the animation. Even today I can’t really get it.
8:03 was my favorite title card song. this was just such a good show back in the day. I used to see grim and evil on in later years but I never cared for it because it wasnt the main characters. but Major Dr. Ghastly is a freaking hot character design. Great video, I've always enjoyed your Halloween specials, and I love how you always throw in Simpsons hit and run level 7 music, which was defiantly great Halloween music.
Holy shit your right, I just looked her up, sometimes I swear to God, I like 2d women over 3d women, I think the internet has poisoned my mind but rule 34 is my friend, I don't know if that's a good thing
Voltaire is one of those artists that I followed at first because of the silly song in middle school, but I've just followed ever since because his music is super good. The camp from his spooky stuff transfers really well into fun period piece music (pirate, medieval, etc), and even when he totally steps away from camp, it's all still super good stuff.
This show influenced my sense of humor as a kid that and Ed Edd n Eddy, so glad you did a retrospect of the show and there's just so much to unpack like how in the third movie they were fighting an even marshemellow bunny and they killed him with hot chocolate. Absolutely great cartoon
Billy and Mandy: The CN show along with Ed Edd N Eddy my Mom didn't really like me watching(which in Billy and Mandy's case I could totally understand)
My dad hated cow and chicken and ed edd and eddy but he still allowed me to watch it. Believe it or not he loved the powerpuff girls, dexter lab, and johnny bravo.
My mom literally banned me from watching the very last episode of Ed Edd n Eddy cause it was "poisoning my impressionable mind" Little did she know I discovered the magic that was pirating sites at the time lmao
7:40 one of my favorites from the series, "The Halls of Time" (SPOILERS) ends this way. It's thrilling to see Mandy and Grim rush back to the hourglasses to save themselves from death by Benjamin Button-ing. Also has a fun Maxwell Atoms cameo, "Holy crud, this my best idea ever!" and Billy calls him "probably no one special" 😂
Yo Pan, What about that one episode, “Tickle me Mandy”, where Billy ask Grim to create a fake Mandy while the real one is away. That dream sequence really scared the hell outta me when I was young! Never again will I recover from that lol
The Triangle of horrifying cartoon network shows, were billy and mandy, courage the cowardly dog, and flapjack, those shows made me immune to horror movies and games...except Silent Hills PT
kinda sounds like evil con carne was ahead of its time of having a bad guy as the lead before despicable me, megamind, league of super evil, & villainous
22:48, I really loved that guy in the episode where mandy smiles and he yells something like "You fools! have changed the order things are meant to be!!!!"
Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy was my favorite cartoon of the 2000's, with it's wackiness, gross out jokes, and dark humor, it's the one I watched the most during my teen years.
I rewatched a lot of the episodes and man. After season 1 this show just becomes really funny. Also I like how Mandy went from evil overlord to just a really smart moody girl. She actually sometimes tries to give Billy advice. Like why he shouldn't try to impress thugs in the cool ghost episode
I was hoping you'd mention the Voltaire episode. That one is absolutely my fave. I love musical episodes and it got me into Voltaire's music. Also, I still quote one of Mandy's little intro sections. "Its not enough to succeed, Others must fail." Also, not gonna lie. The TV Movies were all great.
This is one of my childhood favourite CN shows, alonng with Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Laboratory, Foster's Home and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
As someone who is now into electronic music, I actually love the weird unsettling synths. Almost reminds me of A Clockwork Orange among other works that contained a lot of synth works.
One joke from Evil Con Carne I will never forget is Skarr saying he bought 6 starving huskies and then Hector says he only sees 5 huskies then Skarr says they're no longer starving Also in episode of Billy & Mandy Toadblatt and Squidhat get married and kiss gay rights
Y'all remember that one time when billy's dad picked his brain out of his nose and ate it, thinking it was a boogie? Shit used to freak me out as a kid now I juss think that shit hilarious
A friend of mine who did Clean up art for Mighty Magi Swords worked with Greenblat on and with Maxwell Adams on his kickstarter puppet show thing, he didn't say much about that experience but he told me some neat things about Greenblat and the stuff he's working on which I cant go into for confidentiality reasons.
9:47 I honestly believe Yogi and Boo Boo in that episode are intended to be the same versions from the weird John K Yogi Bear short. If you don't know what im talking about just look up John K Yogi Bear, basically CN let John K do a few weird shorts with old classic Hannah Barbara cartoon characters in I believe the late 90s.
I loved this one. One of my childhood favorites, together with Ed, Edd n' Eddy and Kids Next Door. I was quite a grumpy kid, so my mom would sometimes compare me to Mandy, much to my chagrin. Fast forward twelve years and she's now my favorite character.

There were so many little things tossed into the show, whether it be the Greek and Sumerian myths and tales of the underworld, the old horror movie standbys, Irwin being part mummy and part vampire, some of the gross out humor, the boogeyman, the balance of both humor and terror.
Something to look for, Billy’s parents resemble the Flintstones, and Mandy’s resemble the Jetsons.
Kinda surprised you didn't go more in depth about Maxwell's short film. Mandy was even more unnerving there than the actual series, imo.
18:33 pretty sure Dexter’s Laboratory: Ego Trip (1999) started this trend
Billy and Mandy has to be that one cartoon I didn’t find messed up as a kid, but wonder how the hell they got away with as much as they did as an adult.
@Cody Forsberg honestly I was the same. And can’t tell you why. Same with courage. Everyone always says how horrifying it was and I was always just laughing or enjoying the animation.
Even today I can’t really get it.
Everywhere I go...I see his face
8:03 was my favorite title card song. this was just such a good show back in the day. I used to see grim and evil on in later years but I never cared for it because it wasnt the main characters. but Major Dr. Ghastly is a freaking hot character design. Great video, I've always enjoyed your Halloween specials, and I love how you always throw in Simpsons hit and run level 7 music, which was defiantly great Halloween music.
4:16-4:38 Grey Delisle has voiced too many of my childhood crushes and Major Dr Ghastly was one of them!
Holy shit your right, I just looked her up, sometimes I swear to God, I like 2d women over 3d women, I think the internet has poisoned my mind but rule 34 is my friend, I don't know if that's a good thing
9:22 c’mon, you know you wanna play the Clone High sound bite - “Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys!”
Voltaire is one of those artists that I followed at first because of the silly song in middle school, but I've just followed ever since because his music is super good. The camp from his spooky stuff transfers really well into fun period piece music (pirate, medieval, etc), and even when he totally steps away from camp, it's all still super good stuff.
17:23 I loved Fred Fred Burger but this statement is so true. Those were the years where I stopped watching cartoons and moved on to the internet.
This show influenced my sense of humor as a kid that and Ed Edd n Eddy, so glad you did a retrospect of the show and there's just so much to unpack like how in the third movie they were fighting an even marshemellow bunny and they killed him with hot chocolate.
Absolutely great cartoon
Imagine taking a taxi and the driver just starts talking about the history of Billy and Mandy
That crow was literally my favorite character when I was younger💯😂😂 the way he screams “THE ENNNNNDDD!” Always made me laugh so hard😭😭😭
lol nice profile pic
18:39 where's Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip in which this had a go back in time and save the future plot!
Billy and Mandy: The CN show along with Ed Edd N Eddy my Mom didn't really like me watching(which in Billy and Mandy's case I could totally understand)
Thankfully, this show never came on when my mom came in the living room (same with Courage), otherwise I wouldn’t have been allowed to watch either
My dad hated cow and chicken and ed edd and eddy but he still allowed me to watch it. Believe it or not he loved the powerpuff girls, dexter lab, and johnny bravo.
Honestly both shows helped me grow into the person I am today, both senses of humor are still stuck with me
My mom literally banned me from watching the very last episode of Ed Edd n Eddy cause it was "poisoning my impressionable mind"
Little did she know I discovered the magic that was pirating sites at the time lmao
My mom hated Ed Edd n Eddy and didnt like me watching it but she LOVED Billy and Mandy so much and Courage too. Something about that is funny to me.
7:40 one of my favorites from the series, "The Halls of Time" (SPOILERS)
ends this way. It's thrilling to see Mandy and Grim rush back to the hourglasses to save themselves from death by Benjamin Button-ing. Also has a fun Maxwell Atoms cameo, "Holy crud, this my best idea ever!" and Billy calls him "probably no one special" 😂
*One of the best animated shows of all time*
I know tons of people must’ve already said this, but, this was my childhood, man. It’s such a fun show, even to this day, I still find it creative.
Yo Pan,
What about that one episode, “Tickle me Mandy”, where Billy ask Grim to create a fake Mandy while the real one is away.
That dream sequence really scared the hell outta me when I was young!
Never again will I recover from that lol
That episode is still pretty creepy
The ugly/realistic close up of Billy's face is something I will never forget from that scene.
DETROIT
DETROIT
DETROIT
that face looks more funny then scary to me now even though i was traumatized by it when i was 10
I like how a month after this video was made, Aurelio Voltaire mentioned RebelTaxi in one of his concerts.
11:54 for anyone wondering
It’s actually Christine by Steven king, which was actually based off real events
The Triangle of horrifying cartoon network shows, were billy and mandy, courage the cowardly dog, and flapjack, those shows made me immune to horror movies and games...except Silent Hills PT
kinda sounds like evil con carne was ahead of its time of having a bad guy as the lead before despicable me, megamind, league of super evil, & villainous
22:48, I really loved that guy in the episode where mandy smiles and he yells something like "You fools! have changed the order things are meant to be!!!!"
Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy was my favorite cartoon of the 2000's, with it's wackiness, gross out jokes, and dark humor, it's the one I watched the most during my teen years.
The visual at 11:04 reminded me of all those Boomerang bumpers with the toy models
I really enjoyed this show. My only complaint was Grim was always depicted as a total bitch. It wouldn't have hurt to give him his moments.
@wwemusicfanC I agree, they were usually out of view of the kids. The best were when he had the chance to get rid of them but he stood up for them
@@facundotorres175 "7 little 8 little 9 headless huggy bears! And I've still got a million to go!" He was having ever so much fun that episode
@wwemusicfanC I can't remember them. But I can remember stuff like the bully beating him up.
@@SpaceRodan didn't the after credit scene have saying, " I haven't had that much fun since the French revolution "
I got an ad for afk arena with the overlord collaboration and I throughly for a split second that Grim was Ainz
I rewatched a lot of the episodes and man. After season 1 this show just becomes really funny. Also I like how Mandy went from evil overlord to just a really smart moody girl. She actually sometimes tries to give Billy advice. Like why he shouldn't try to impress thugs in the cool ghost episode
I was hoping you'd mention the Voltaire episode. That one is absolutely my fave. I love musical episodes and it got me into Voltaire's music. Also, I still quote one of Mandy's little intro sections. "Its not enough to succeed, Others must fail." Also, not gonna lie. The TV Movies were all great.
This is one of my childhood favourite CN shows, alonng with Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter's Laboratory, Foster's Home and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
I actually liked how the show was more creepy than funny in the earlier seasons.
Hearing both title cards and ending theme after all these years hit me with a fat wave of nostalgia. Being a kid was so much simpler.
Billy and Mandy is such a masterpiece. Wish we lived in a world where Underfist would continue as a tv series.
As someone who is now into electronic music, I actually love the weird unsettling synths. Almost reminds me of A Clockwork Orange among other works that contained a lot of synth works.
You found the clip "Look at me body!" I looked all over for that scene. We must protect this video at all cost.
The scene comes from Duck!, where Grim is possessed by a good dream apparition. One of the funniest cartoons of the series.
4:58 The boing sound effect happened the same time one of the soldiers smiled. It's common in Billy & Mandy.
One joke from Evil Con Carne I will never forget is Skarr saying he bought 6 starving huskies and then Hector says he only sees 5 huskies then Skarr says they're no longer starving
Also in episode of Billy & Mandy Toadblatt and Squidhat get married and kiss gay rights
I now realize that was probably the first gay kiss in an American cartoon.
21:28 How in the HELL did they get away with that?!
Y'all remember that one time when billy's dad picked his brain out of his nose and ate it, thinking it was a boogie? Shit used to freak me out as a kid now I juss think that shit hilarious
Now that I look back at it, early and mid-2000’s CN shows were really dark but balanced it out with humor. Boy do I miss that era of CN
A friend of mine who did Clean up art for Mighty Magi Swords worked with Greenblat on and with Maxwell Adams on his kickstarter puppet show thing, he didn't say much about that experience but he told me some neat things about Greenblat and the stuff he's working on which I cant go into for confidentiality reasons.
Huh, I actually didnt know that Dial M For Monkey was a separate show, I always thought it was, like, a segment for Dexter or something.
I used to watch billy & mandy with my mom and it was always hilarious to see her grossed out by billy and horrified by mandy.
The title card music (both of them) are ear worms and I won’t lie, this was one of my go-to shows whenever CN was on as a kid.
9:47 I honestly believe Yogi and Boo Boo in that episode are intended to be the same versions from the weird John K Yogi Bear short. If you don't know what im talking about just look up John K Yogi Bear, basically CN let John K do a few weird shorts with old classic Hannah Barbara cartoon characters in I believe the late 90s.
Those CN city bumpers will always be one of my favorites things that CN has ever done
Now I realize how much Dracula in this show was inspired by Redd Foxx from Sanford & Son.
*SCRAPE AND LICK!*
Also Blacula, the 1970's grindhouse film of a black dracula.
I loved this one. One of my childhood favorites, together with Ed, Edd n' Eddy and Kids Next Door. I was quite a grumpy kid, so my mom would sometimes compare me to Mandy, much to my chagrin. Fast forward twelve years and she's now my favorite character.
