Fun fact: Billy and Mandy’s pilot episode was the final cartoon produced by Hanna Barbera.

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.

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.

"Smile, tomorrow will be worse." That's about as optimistic as pessimism can get! Or maybe it's the other way around.

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

This show definitely contributed to my dark sense of humor, I'm pretty sure Billy killed Irwin for dressing like a clown once.

*Never step in another man's corn flakes.* Why didn't Hoss Delgato get his own series again?

"I had a nightmare once, 60 years ago. It never ended." -- General Skarr

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

“Hector was the original ISIS.” -RebelTaxi, 2020

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 funny thing about the show is the Grim Reaper is the most normal character in a show full of crazy people and idiots.

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.

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!

Courage, Invader Zim and Billy and Mandy: the holy trinity of turn-of-the-millennium cartoons that got all sorts of stuff past the radar

I commend you for not making a single “Burnos días Mandy” reference.

Damn I forgot how different Billy and Mandy looked in the beginning of the series, Christ..

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.

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)

Fun Fact: Voltaire actually collabed with Channel Frederator for 107 Facts about The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

I remember when Grim & Evil and Robot Jones were picked up. It’s wild how time flies.

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.

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

Voltaire is awesome, he's hardly ever had down time so he's super prolific. They also used his Land of the Dead song for Boogie's Adventure

Ain’t gonna lie that court episode had me dying when I was little

Hol up Is Robot Jones Jewish since he had Star of David on his Tombstone.

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.

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.

"But does anyone ever ask about Sir Raven? No! YOU DIDN'T DID YOU?!?!"

A fact about Voltaire (The guy who did the Brains song) he also made the intro song for one the the Billy and Mandy movies

The one episode with Grim and Dracula riding with some fat guy wearing his fingernail sunglasses is so funny lmao

In an alternate universe, Underfist went on to run as a show for like 3-4 seasons, and it was really good.

I can't believe they were making a reference to Time Squad, Robot Jones, and evil Con Carne in the intro this whole time! That's awesome!

Fun fact: Russian dub had quite a lot of swearing, Mandy said "shit" a dozen times for example. I have no idea why...

6:35 billy: "OH WHY GRIM WHY DO THE GOOD DIE YOUNG " GRIM: "🤔 Well, usually cause I get confused"

The episode that ends with Billy getting hyperrealistic human eyes composited on his head always terrified me

And later that day Grim was arrested for exposing himself in front of minors.

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.

21:17 "moved onto chowder" as we see Chowder inside the Pumpkin float. I see what you did there

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.

Evil Con Carne = Evil with Beef Sounds about right

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.

" 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'm still appalled at how quality Pan's videos are yet he doesn't even have half a mil subscribers!

"Hector was the original isis" - Pan Pizza (2020)

The ending credits message in reverse continues to scare me to this day.. Imagin hearing that at your bedroom door at night

12:30 I'm not gay, but that dude is probably the sexiest goth I've ever seen in my entire life

18:33 pretty sure Dexter’s Laboratory: Ego Trip (1999) started this trend

That crow was literally my favorite character when I was younger💯😂😂 the way he screams “THE ENNNNNDDD!” Always made me laugh so hard😭😭😭

I miss those kind of executives who saw a drawing of the grim reaper and said "hey, let's give it a show".

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

0:18 Who could ever forget that laugh?

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

7:20 that is LITERALLY the activation sound for the spider reflexes in the Spider-Man 2 game

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

I actually liked how the show was more creepy than funny in the earlier seasons.

9:22 c’mon, you know you wanna play the Clone High sound bite - “Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys!”

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

4:16-4:38 Grey Delisle has voiced too many of my childhood crushes and Major Dr Ghastly was one of them!

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.

Imagine taking a taxi and the driver just starts talking about the history of Billy and Mandy

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

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.

5:35 this was one of the first milestones of my descension to the fetish hell

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.

*One of the best animated shows of all time*

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 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.

4:58 The boing sound effect happened the same time one of the soldiers smiled. It's common in Billy & Mandy.

11:54 for anyone wondering It’s actually Christine by Steven king, which was actually based off real events

"Please pass the egg salad"

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.

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" 😂

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 is such a masterpiece. Wish we lived in a world where Underfist would continue as a tv series.

4:15 pan mentions GI Joe villains out of all times the one time I'm organizing my GI Joe figures...this pizza knows too much. and what's ironic is Destro is the one villain I'm currently missing Update no one asked for: I found Destro lol

To be honest, this is easily in my top 10 cartoons ever. It really impacted me. I even played their Nintendo Wii Smash parody game, it was actually really well made for a cartoon game. Let alone a fighting game. Very faithful to the show. Mandy's ultimate was her smiling...very accurate.

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

21:28 How in the HELL did they get away with that?!

5:35 I'm sure that's someone's Fetish out there.

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 used to watch billy & mandy with my mom and it was always hilarious to see her grossed out by billy and horrified by mandy.

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

"U sharpshooting me pudding? You stepping on my Cornflakes?" Lmaooo Delgado and Erwin made an awesome duo in that Halloween movie special

I noticed that billy’s dad got dumber and dumber with each season when I was a kid

Freakin love billy and Mandy out of CNs 2000s output there's billy and Mandy codename kids next door and the underrated time squad

God NOBODY I ask ever remembers Robot Jones....

Those CN city bumpers will always be one of my favorites things that CN has ever done

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.

The tricycle episode was a parody of Steven King's Christine. Cartoon Network should team up with DC and make a crossover comic where Billy and Mandy meets Deadman.

I recall one episode of this show that had Billy calling the hair of this old crone babysitter that Mandy's parents hired to set their daughter straight "ballsack hair" in the brazilian portuguese dub. Just one of the many moments of this show that stuck with me.
