That line was originally created in a Tiny Toon Adventures episode. Though they put "Santa" at the beginning for some odd reason.

THAT WAS YOU???!!! Ok I have some questions Mr. Stonedog if you don't mind. How were you approached to do this spot? Did you direct the original voice actors for this spot? Did you also put in the necessary Australian references in this such as the Ned Kelly one, the lamington one? Also, what was Samurai Jack cooking and Billy & Mandy eating? And was this animated in Flash? Sorry for the overload of questions.

@@wakkowarner7958 happy to answer your questions! I used to work for CN Asia-Pacific as the Senior Promo Producer for Aus/NZ and SEA feeds so it was my responsibility to put together all the channel branding elements. The overall concept for "demented bbq" was initiated by my Boss who was CN's Creative Director at the time and we brainstormed ideas with the animation team and from those sessions I wrote several script drafts, the final version is what made it to screen and yes, I directed all the voice over artists which was always my favourite part of the process. I always especially loved working with Jeff Bennet (Johnny Bravo) and Candi Milo's (Dexter) as well as voice coach Collette Sunderman because we all have a similar dark and outrageous sense of humour so recording with them was always non-stop laughs. I'm suprised we ever got any work done because we clowned around a LOT during sessions haha.

As for the Aussie references you mentioned, yes I wrote all those lines and came up with most of them you see here...though some colleagues also chipped in a few references to squeeze in. Can't remember who suggested putting in Harry's Cafe de Wheels but I thought it was a great idea....their mushy meat pies are the best! (That's what Billy and Mandy are eating!). The "lamb-ington" idea was mine and that's Samurai Jack slicing some lamb up. Aussie lamb on the bbq was big on TV adverts back when we made this hence the references. And yes, this was flash animated with some hand drawn art. I think you can probably tell which character scenes were hand drawn (Johnny Bravo, Granny, Daffy, Billy & Mandy to name a few) and which were flash (Bunny Bravo, Penelope Pitstop etc)

This was made almost 20 years ago so its hard to recall everything but my clearest memory of this is how much everybody in the CN office LOVED the Snagglepuss line. People were quoting it back at me for weeks once it started airing so that was fun knowing I made some folks laugh!

And finally, I hope you caught the reference to Men At Work's classic song "Land Down Under" in the backing music. I really wanted to put a sample in this spot. We couldn't clear the license to use the actual song so we recreated something that felt a bit like it and that was great fun to sneak that reference in too.

Well, this is Australia after all

Nice profile man

who is actually bushwacker

​@@CSKA555its a reference to a famous historical Australian outlaw named Ned Kelly. Ned famously wore a bucket for a helmet which you can see Ed wearing in this spoof. The aussie slang used to refer to these outlaw types from our Goldrush Era was "bushwackers". That's what Eddy is referring to.

Its a reference to the Scrappy-Doo character's actual unpopularity among fans of the Scooby-Doo franchise back in the late-1980s/early-1990s.

He sounds like Spurg

Because CN Aus was affiliated with head office in USA/Atlanta. We would record with the voice actors via phone to them in Los Angeles. That's how many of the OG actors got to appear in this.
