Thanks so much for watching! How do you feel about Clarence? What moments from the show stood out to you the most?

Clarence as a character really have the _"He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit"_ kind of energy to him.

Clarence's personality is so sweet when you think about it. He saw that there was good in Belson, got Sumo and Jeff to be friends again, saved a baby bird, and much more. Probably one of the kindest characters in cartoon history.

Clarence was severely slept on. It was a very relatable show about childhood. Kids just being kids. I love it so much

There’s something about Clarence that feels so nostalgic and wholesome it just melts my heart. Clarence and Craig of the creek showcase how magical childhood can be!

When Clarence first aired, I never gave it a second look, assuming it would be another slice-of-life show with tons of gross-out humour. However, I wound up watching the entirety of the series with my nephew a few months ago and...wow, was I wrong. Clarence really excels at portraying kids as being believable kids, in a more true-to-life way than many other cartoons. Sure, there are plenty of tongue-in-cheek moments and parodies to appeal to older viewers, but the writers did a fantastic job creating that sense of wonderment we have as children. I think the moment that got me the most was when it finally clicked for Clarence that Miss Baker was an actual person with a life outside of school; it's a great little nod to how reality can be so very different from the perceptions children have of it.

i always loved the way clarence's house was designed, just random stuff littered over the place, it really felt "lived in". i dont think i've ever seen another show nail that look that well

Clarence and Gumball are such comfort shows for me because I basically didn't have a childhood and these shows help my brain relax and imagine about growing up in their world.

This show gave me such a crutch during a time in my life where I was scared of growing up but watching this show just somehow made it all seem so much more.. doable. It reminded me about all the good times I had with my own friends and how I can still have so many more moments like that down the road myself. So I really do appreciate this show and the way it was created and built.

The attention to detail in Clarence is exceptional. The backgrounds, for example, are always jam-packed with stuff that give each setting a personality and a realistic sense of being lived in by the characters. Also, something completely different: the way that some episodes end abruptly at a surprise rise in action, like the goose episode and the karate episode, instead of petering out into a traditional denouement is a great type of final gag that I really wish I saw more in other shows!

I actually adored Clarence because it's down to earth but takes a distinct way in writing the characters. I like how the kids are written and how the show portray families, especially the not usual types. I had no idea there was all this hulbaloo behind the scenes with the creators though-

Clarence is genuinely such an underrated gem of a show. I hate how it's always put into the "shows that ruined Cartoon Network" pile along with Teen Titans Go and Uncle Grandpa.

Clarence is the one show that, more than anything else, perfectly captured what it was like living in lower-middle class suburbia in the early 2000s, and I love it for that.

Clarence is one of the few shows that actually shows working class families in a positive light. It's why my kids liked it,it was a closer to their lives than any other cartoon.

Clarence was such a departure of what Cartoon Network programming was at that time so I applaud the effort made to think outside the norm.

_Mystery Girl_ has to be one of the gems of this series, it feels so real, so innocent and so beautiful, and I love to rewatch it whenever I can.

This is one of my favourite shows! I watched this like 2 times. Sumo is the best character.

Clarence is one of my all-time favorite cartoons, definitely in the top 10 for me. I think it's a show that's REALLY easy to judge from the outside for being loud, ugly, mindless noise, which is really such a shame! It's way smarter than some would give it credit for, yet is also still so authentic to what it's like being a kid. It's simultaneously such a sweet, funny, weird, relaxing, and chaotic show, and I can never recommend it enough.

this is one of there more underrated Cartoon Network Shows from the 2010's era and it was pretty good of Clarence

i've seen it as Clarence walked so Craig of the Creek could run when it comes to really honing in on how to portray a realistic childhood that can make it nostalgic for adult viewers while still being a cartoon that can get silly and weird when it shows how the kids view the world. i didn't watch this one religiously but i'm in the same boat of catching it whenever it was on and thinking it was pretty fun

I loved Clarence. Seriously underrated show. There’s an episode where he’s in the backseat of the car imagining himself running along the powerlines and stuff. And i was like “Oh damn.. i used to do that as a kid.” Although i imagined Sonic the Hedgehog running and jumping over everything. Still it was super relatable and nostalgic. It disappointed me that when i would ask people if they watched it they would say they didn’t even give it a chance or just assumed it was bad. I wish Clarence had a longer run, but it had a decent life span.

6:43 Ngl, I love it when kids are allowed to continue voice-acting a character as their changing voice really does add to the childhood experience they're representing. For shows that actually involve characters that age like Adventure Time, it's authentic to see their voices evolve. Compare that to The Amazing World Of Gumball that recycles the child actors when they start to hit puberty, or The Simpsons with adults in the sound booth that will never change their line deliveries. All three of these are successful tactics for voicing children in animated shows but I just generally prefer the Clarence way

Clarence is like Ed Edd and Eddy without the cynicism and negativity. It’s SUPER slice of life an I really need to get back into watching it

Clarence is quite underrated. I appreciate that each of the characters are different in terms of looks, personality etc. What I think a lot don’t appreciate is what you stated the surrealism in reality that is fascinating in our growing years. Time slows down during those moments of discovery. There’s actually a theory of perception where our perception of time speeds up when we have a set routine such as when we become adults. When you’re a kid every day seems to last forever because you’re always doing something different to explore more. The key to getting the most out of your time on earth is not to extend it persay, but to embrace all that life has to offer. Notice the slight change in colors of the leaves, the caterpillar climbing a blade of grass, the ripples in the water etc. Clarence gives perspective to absorbing as much as you can during childhood and maybe is how you can continue to do so while you’re an adult if you see how Clarence influences the adults in his life.

Clarence is criminally underated. It has fun characters, and was one of the only shows to truly capture the innocence of childhood in a way that was both weird, unusual, and yet brilliant.

This was a fantastic show...aside from a few episodes that went supernatural for some reason. I was VERY impressed with all the character development that just kind of happened naturally in the background. Like, they spent A LOT of time hinting that Jeff was near-sighted before actually dropping it, and that working teen gradually gets more disfigured as the series goes along. Also, Ms. Baker is a top-shelf waifu.

the “inconsistency was consistency” thing was absolutely amazing in this show. I remember watching it when i was younger, and just this last month my friends and I got together to watch it in it’s entirety because i told them how good it was. The inconsistencies of the characters made our friend group all sort of gravitate to different characters and who they liked more, and it just made it that much more enjoyable to watch. we finished it tonight and it was a sad moment for sure, but an amazing time while watching !

I loved the simplicity of this show and how it just showcased the craziness being a child brought. Also the ending theme was so funny and it tbh cathartic

My fav scene is when Clarence pretends to be a busy adult with all of these ringing phones around him and he picks one up and goes "I NEED THREE DIVORCES BY LAST TUESDAY!"

My spouse and I are in our late 20s, and we were in college while this show was airing... and it's one of my spouse's favorite shows ever. It has that weird absurdist energy that isn't often replicated. My spouse grew up on Homestar Runner, and said this is 2nd closest to scratching that same itch. It is such a fascinating, life-like but yet sensational look at childhood, and it's just all around amazing. As much as we would've loved Clarence continuing for years, I agree that there gets a point where you just know "it's time" and it's better to end with a flourish than with a whimper.

Clarence was one of those shows that has both traumatized me and also helped me sleep. (that damn deviled egg episode, holy shit). I could actually feel some odd nostalgia from everyone's side. (Everyone being the kid characters like Jeff and Clarence). Sumo I could relate to because of my mom, who's mostly lived paycheck to paycheck, never really having a job, though. She used to live in this weird rundown neighbourhood with a tightknit community. Jeff reminds me of the home that I have with my dad, who's not like the exact opposite of my mom's, but it's still higher living. Although Clarence on the other hand is more true to my roots on both sides. The modest living where the parents still love as wholly as they can despite any struggles they'd be experiencing. Although Clarence has some REALLY freaky stuff in it, I can't help but get an awesome feeling of nostalgia from it.

I really liked Clarence as an animated series because it felt like an old 90's cartoon and made you go back to those days when we were kids. It was heart warming sometimes, very weird other times but I loved that mood so much. Some characters were amazing and reminded me of some kids I met as a kid 😂

ANOTHER BANGER! Thank you so much. This season of videos has been incredible.

Apparently one of my brother’s teachers had a son who did story boards for Clarence. The teacher also thought that show was really stupid. Clarence was a show I watched growing up and I’ve always loved how they depicted kids as kids

Clarence is such a vibe! It came out when I was in high school so I didn’t have much interest in tuning in to the new cartoons that I didn’t grow up on. I stumbled upon it at the end of last year and binged the whole series! Clarence is the sweetest character! I think what I love most about this show is it’s ability to make you feel a sense of nostalgia, even if you didn’t grow up watching it as a kid based on the way, it captures the fun and innocence of being a child. You feel like you’re along for the ride on all these crazy adventures with these kids, and it really takes me back to my own carefree childhood. P.S. Percy is a lunatic and I love him 😂

This show is so good at making you feel for these goofy characters. Little Buddy, Dream Boat, Worm Bin, and tons of more episodes are surprisingly beautiful and I just love this show so much

I first didn't appreciated this so that much when i was younger but when i watched it on HBO Max a while back it open my mind how those characters are actually characters and not some copy and paste generic characterization, they gave life to Clarence and his friends. I love that this cartoon makes you think about your childhood, your friends you made along the way and how everything changes within the time. I love Clarence

I remember watching Clarence, but I was never crazy about the show. I only watched it from 2018 to 2019. It’s nice to see that the show still lives up to it’s reputation.

It’s definitely one of the more underrated Cartoon Network shows of the 2010s and was easily overshadowed by a lot of other ones that came out at the time. I even have 2 random volumes on dvd which I still haven’t watched yet.

The tree episode is so good. That's the one that changed my perspective on the show and made me look at it differently

Clarence is so underrated and shamed for no reason at all, it's first place on my cartoon list (gumballs second respectfully)

Clarence seems to really give off childhood in the 90s/00s and it's just gives me such a rush of nostalgia every time I watch it

I got divorced this year and this will be my first Christmas alone. I wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos. I watch them at night before bed so i don’t feel alone. They really help and I look forward to each one everyday. Thank you again and with much love happy holidays

As a 30 something adult, I LOVED Clarence when it first came out. I felt the writing was some of the best I've ever seen in a children's cartoon. The depth of humor was staggering.

I appreciate positive videos about Clarence. It's always been one of my favorite CN shows because it perfectly captures what it's like being a kid. They do things real kids do. I always remember this one episode where Clarence went to the restroom and instead of washing his hands, he just curiously looked at the water running and turned it off. Little things like that really makes the show for me.

Honestly the entire show feels like a fever dream you have

I loved this show. It was weird at times but it was so relatable. There was a time where I had such a stressful job as a teacher, I would put on this show and it would relax me. Especially the ending theme song was so soothing. ✨

this show will forever remain one of cartoon network's hidden gems. very overlooked but to those who paid attention, it's very enjoyable and heartwarming (for the most part)

This show was criminally underrated and underappreciated. I was way beyond the target age when I watched it (I'm 37 now), but it gave off great feels of nostalgia of being a kid at that age. Just kids being kids, and doing both fun things (like the Fun Dungeon) to the mundane, everyday things (grocery shopping), and how doing those things were like as a kid. The realism in how they represented all of the different family dynamics was excellent. I had friends growing up who were poor like Sumo, and friends who were rich and unfulfilled like Belson, but we all were just kids being kids in the end. As an adult, I loved all of the different styles, and how each character was based off another well-known IP--for example, Chad being modeled off of Donkey Kong, one kid was like Charlie Brown (even with how his spotlight episode was told), Belson was like a Muppet, etc. Really cool details put into each character and how their stories were told!

Back when I was a kid watching Clarence, it weirdly encouraged me to go outside and live life. As a kid I hated going outside until I would watch an episode of Clarence and think, Hey, maybe I can do some unhinged stuff and make some memories just like these characters.

I love Clarence his energy makes me happy, it was a good show

Clarence was a half and half favorite. They were ups and downs about it and more nasty scenes which made me uncomfortable. But the show reminds me a lot from my childhood. I liked most characters that Clarence made friends with in the show such as Jeff, Sumo, Chelsea, Kimby, Dustin, Nathan, Belson, Percy, Amy Gillis, Breehn, and more. I really wish they made a Clarence movie on HBO Max or another streaming service due to WB Discovery having some incidents. Overall, I am thankful that we had a show that taught us about our childhood.

My favorite cartoon network show. I'm glad you decided to make a video about it. This brings back memories of me watching it.

This show was so fun to watch as a kid, the hate it got was unnecessary and I remember being made fun of for watching. Its so nostalgic and sweet rewatching it these days. Also its just funny and creative. Another W for CN as always when it comes to their cartoons. Very Special. This and FlapJack were underrated shows I knew by heart where people didn't know what I was talking about.

Clarence was my favorite show growing up. I just connected with him a lot and I liked the sense of humor and still do appreciate just the stupid freedom of it. Just a solid show that definitely impacted me a bunch growing up. Great video as always

It's def one of my favorite newer cartoon network shows. So good. Thanks for the great video Jordan!

Clarence gave me a lot of nostalgia for Ed Edd and Eddy. Just a cozy, funny series covering childhood

The magic this show has is so unique. I absolutely love clarence with all my heart. The concept is extremely simple but it's brilliantly done. Light, wholesome, fun, comfortable, and sometimes makes you wonder about your childhood... Just incredible. I think clarence is one of the best shows of the slice of life genre, not even just between cartoons but one of the best of the whole genre.

I love this cartoon, it really sucks people brought it down. The character designs, background art, soundtrack, and writing is all good. The art style isn’t everyone’s taste and people just don’t like watching kids act like real kids but people just called it bad because of it and it’s a shame. The cartoon gave me a nostalgic feeling for how well it portrays different childhoods. It’s a shame the creator was a sleaze but I still love this cartoon.

Remembered this cartoon as my friend's favorite. Every year on his birthday, I always draw his favorite character, Clarence, as a gift since this show is very nostalgic to him.

I was hoping you'd do a video on this show! didn't even have to ask. man you are a mind reader lately

I unironically love Clarence truly. I can't help (thinking back on it now) feel like Clarence is the child pov of what bluey is idk how to explain it

I’ve always loved clearance n felt drawn to ur, it was relatable n fun to watch, it’s so underrated as well, I’m glad to see coverage for it, thanks fringe!❤️

This show is so good especially the sleepover episode that got super surreal

Glad to see the show getting love I watched while it aired and it’s such a comfort show

I loved Clarence I really remember the espiode Little buddy it shows that anybody even as positive as Clarence can have a breaking point and sometimes showing a little kindness can get them through it

I remember an episode where Clarence wakes up early and how everything is when almost everyone is yes to start their day, it was very cute in a sense

I loved this show! I can’t believe how funny it is and manages to be heartwarming too. I’ll never forget how hard I laughed when Clarence ran into a mountain lion that escaped from the zoo and he says “oh no!” And the screen fades to black. Then it fades in from black and he says “oh no!” the exact same way, as if this were a movie for tv fading to black for a commercial but this episode is 11 minutes long and has no commercial… like this show has 1 million jokes like that where I can overexplain them but you just had to be there in the moment to get it. The writers really hd a blast making this show. Like you said it really nails the feeling of being a kid in ways other shows haven’t been able to nail. Highly recommend this show.

By far my favorite modern show on Cartoon Network. More people need to know about it and I’d be really interested to see if they ever make anything else, or where those creators go off to.

I remember watching Clarence as it was coming out and personally really liked it. I found the show very cute and charming lol

Oh my god, Clarence is *chef's kiss*. When I watched the first episode, I immediately loved it. It was such a chill yet fun show! I was also in elementary when I watched Clarence, so seeing the show just be about kids having fun was relatable and really hit home for me. Clarence has a really special place in my heart and never fails to give me nostalgia. Even until now, I never get bored of rewatching my favorite episodes. Clarence is based

I love Clarence so much. Became one of my favorite cartoons ever immediately. My son wasn't sure at first, but loves it as much as I do now.

clarence is one of my fave new cartoon. I can imagine this cartoon being popular during my childhood days aka the early to mid 2000’s. I feel like this cartoon is slightly underrated and deserves more recognition imo

Omg you can't even imagine the amount of memories you unlocked with this video

Finally I've been waiting for someone to talk about him again

This one’s one of my favorite cartoons growing up I actually acted a lot like Clarence when growing up My dad wasn’t in my life and still isn’t but my set dad always remember me of chad I really love this show alot

I started watching this show again a few weeks and now I’m obsessed with it. It’s very well made And legit funny word a lot of adult jokes and references you would not expect to be in a show targeted towards kids

I used to love Clarence, and it was one of the last cartoons I loved watching as a teenager. I remember putting one of my other homegirls onto it when I was in high school, and she loved it too

I have crazy ADHD and could always relate to Clarence's struggles. The way he acted and talked literally mirrored me. Always love this show

I wasn't that interested in this show that much but I remember one episode called "Dream boat" that was incredible. It's rare that I root for a character as much as I did during that episode. Sumo just wanted to build a boat, he slaved away for days despite everyone either ignoring or laughing at him and his dream. You really feel bad for him and in some respects relate to him alot during that episode. Its one of those weird rare episodes of otherwise cheerful shows that get super serious just for that one story. Another that comes to mind was "Burrito" in we bear bears.

I loved Clarence! Your video really reminded me why

Clarence was a good show, I really much enjoy your episodes and I saw frequently, fine video Jordan!

I really love clarence, it always feels so nostalgic of me and my friends back when I was younger, doing adventures together and just having fun

i love this show so so so so much im so glad youre talking about it!!!!

I’ve been waiting for this

I Loved watching Clarence a lot back then when there was new Episodes on Monday. Clarence, Jeff and Sumo always reminded me of Ed, Edd n Eddy. Clarence was an underrated show and one of my absolute favorite Cartoons!

Some of the aesthetics at play here really make me interested to hear an episode on Pinky Malinky. The art style of that show was so utterly unique.

Looking back, I personally didn’t enjoy Clarence all too much, but I can see why people would enjoy it

A forgotten CN series that I don't see get talked about enough is Mixels, so that could make for an interesting future video idea...

Im so glad someone finally reconized this show

I distinctly remember not caring about Clarence when they started advertising it but I got hooked as soon as it premiered.

Clarence really hit home. It was like watching my childhood in cartoon from. This cartoon really means a lot to me.

I remember watching this in Elementary school and now that you talk about it makes feel my child hood is gone. Man I wish I did All the adventures Clarence did but my Parents were over protective so I could never have the Experience like I wish I could have

I haven’t checked it out but man, your description of the show sounds interesting

Glad to see you give a review to Clarice. Really great and underrated show.

My thoughts on clarence is that i love it, each episode is just 10 minutes which I personally like because i have a short attention span, then also because there's so much happening in each episode that also helps. Furthermore i don't really like growing up so seeing this kind of takes me back to my childhood aswell. I can also relate to some traits of the characters, like how jeff doesn't want to be touched. A moment that stood out to me the most is probably the way they show each character and how different their lives are. Overall i enjoy watching clarence and i would watch the whole 4 seasons again and again and again and again... and so on...

Clarence did something right that no other show did… being Clarence. It’s such a unique show that I think it deserves a sequel Clarence, Sumo, and Jeff are all in high school, we see Jeff’s relationship issues and how he’d become distant from his parents, how Sumo handles the stress of the work, how Clarence deals with staying naive even in high school

Jordan and fellow Fringelords make me feel not alone as an adult who still indulges in cartoons, especially ones that aired past my time lol

There are only three CN shows I can think of where I saw the pilot right when it came out and followed the show through to the end, loving it the whole way: Steven Universe, Infinity Train...and Clarence. One of these things is not like the other, am I right? xD A KZfaq comments section is not the place for me to unpack how special this show is or how much it means to me, but...yeah, this show was something special. Its perspective and humor and weirdly dark storytelling sometimes, there's just so much that went into it to make it an entirely, wonderfully unique experience. Also Gilben. Just...just Gilben.

My favorite episode, “Rise ‘n’ Shine” just gives me a wave if nostalgia for some reason
