Avatar is on another league of its own. First cartoon that did everything differently and successfully achieved what it set out to do. Its animation was widely different from its contemporaries, using a more anime-esque art-style. It was set in China when every other cartoon was set in the US. It was very progressive with its story and characters. Season 1 alone was packed with so many strong and fun female characters. Modern shows should take some notes from the Avatar that came out in the early 2000s. I could go on but you get the gist

Highly recommend watching Avatar from beginning to end. ATLA is definitely S+ tier, rich world building, character development, storyline, action, conflict, romance, comedy, loss, grief, power, responsibility, friendship, self-improvement, overcoming fears, politics, class consciousness, imperialism, propaganda, dictatorships, etc. A very humanistic and relatable show with super realistic characters and groundbreaking animation, the only show I can finish watching and then immediately start over from the first episode.

As soon as you said KaBlam! I had a massive nostalgia rush. Action League Now was one of my favourites as a kid, because of the way it hilariously satirised the superhero cartoon trope (very popular at the time) with these goofy plastic figurines in stop motion. Very unique and ahead of its time in many ways.

I agree. I watched ATBG a few times as a kid and remembered it vaguely because it wasn't a super big favorite, but I rewatched it all on Paramount + a few months ago and absolutely agree. People need to get over the show being "ugly" which honestly never bothered me that much. Once you look past the visual style... the show was truly something special.

The Wild Thornberries was definitely an A Tier show for me. It was the first show I watched that showed you all these fascinating cultures and regions around the world. You so badly wanted to travel the world as a kid after watching each episode.

It's A tier because of Nigel alone. He's smashingly legendary.

There’s an episode of Rugrats where the conflict is that Tommy mistakenly thinks His brother was changed into a watermelon That’s the conflict. The babies try to figure out how to change him back. They legitimately believe this happened. This was so funny to me as an adult like, that’s it?! It’s great

I can't believe he said that about CatDog. Literally crying and shaking rn.

Kablam was S-Tier hands down. ETA: HOW IS ROCKO ANYTHING BUT S TIER EDIT2: I’ll give you Doug as an A, but hey Arnold should be up there too. Kablaam A tier.

When I was like seven years old, I was out walking my dog with my dad, and we met another guy walking his. He and my dad got to chatting, and the guy mentions he's an animator. See him a few more times in the neighborhood, eventually he invites us over to his studio to check it out, it's like a block away. Okay. Get in there, the place is a chaos of puppets and clay figurines, turns out he does stop motion. As we're walking through, I spot something that looks REAL familiar : an orca hand puppet. Just as I'm starting to place it in my mind, we round a corner to where he does his photo capture, and, sure enough, right there in front of the cameras: a tall purple alien and a caveman. The guy made freakin Prometheus and Bob. Great dude, anyway. Helped me make a Halloween costume and turn my living room into a haunted house, animatronics and all. I've still got a vhs tape with some unreleased episodes kicking around somewhere. He was thrilled to meet a fan, so he literally just gave them to me. Unbelievable, nicest guy ever. Eventually, we moved and lost touch, though. So cool to meet someone whose work you like, only to find out they're a genuinely good human. His name's Cote Zellers, if anyone's interested in checking out his other stuff.

Hey Arnold in B......... ok

Fantano needs to watch the Last Airbender. I also was too old by the time it was on TV. But I revisited it years ago as an adult & fell in love with it. Legitimately one of my favorite shows of all time (including live action series). The only hurdle is the first 4 episodes of Season 1. You can tell the series was pitched more towards kids initially. But as soon as the wheels started turning it transitions into its more mature themes. As soon as I saw Episode 12 “The Storm” where we see the two contrasts between Aang and Zuko’s backstories i knew i was in for a ride.

I don't even care about your rankings, I'm just happy that you posted a video that I actually feel like I'm in the loop on.

Rocket power was great. Only cartoon show that had Hockey in it

Ren&Stimby is a classic when it comes to animation though, just because how crazy it was. We were studying it in college class and I enjoyed it a lot.

You were right about the staying power of Jimmy neutron and it was amazing how Jimmy neutron memes are still popular today, for example Carls presentation on cock and ball torture. Also some pretty good plots, like when they got the fattest mfs in the town to run on treadmills to produce enough sweat to spray into the atmosphere to end global warming. Jimmy neutron was innovative because the computer graphics was perfect for translating the unique science fiction theme it had.

Ren and Stimpy had very simple plots and dialogue but to me the physical gags and the detail in the animation are still next level. The facial expressions in that show will always be imprinted in my psyche

good ass word, extemporaneously

I’m old enough to remember when there were just 3 nicktoons: Doug, Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy. As a child I gravitated to R&S but as I got older I found more to appreciate about Doug and Rugrats. I still to this day feel that the unsung storylines of Rugrats where what the adults are doing in the background, often it’s extremely funny and way over the heads of kids watching.

Ren and Stimpy C tier, Spongebob S tier is the equivalent of the rock and roll hall of fame inducting Nirvana but not Pixies.

I loved Rocket Power. I live in San Diego County, right next to the city that the show is based in. I always thought that was cool.

Can we PLEASE acknowledge how SpongeBob seasons 1-3 are on their own level and the creative changes they made after this. It became much more kid friendly and less funny imo. Early SpongeBob humor holds up to this day against any show I can think of and is where most of the memes/quotables derive from

Hey Arnold got robbed tbh. It still stands relevant even if you watch it as an adult and hits you with hidden depths, which is the most important thing a cartoon can do. Being common entertainment for both kids and their parents.

SpongeBob is golden television. Just like the Simpsons at its best. Not many shows can truly have golden eras like them. Unbeatable at their best. GOAT shit.

Trying to steal Dunkey’s thunder after his superior 7th annual muffin tier list I see. Shameful.

This video reminds me of the time you RTd a Cartoon Network tier list by pointing out that "Why this cartoon is ranked too high? Why this other cartoon is ranked too low?" and now, I'm thinking that we're closer and closer of a Cartoon Network/Adult Swim tier list video and if my expectations are proven to be correct, well, I'm genuinely looking forward to it!

Never in my life would i think fantano would praise rugrats lore😭😭

1. Great list. I'd probably put Doug and Hey Arnold in S but other than that, I agree. 2. Watch Avatar. Like yesterday, it's amazing! 3. Please keep making random non music content every now and then. I wasn't expecting this but I'm glad you did it!

A few episodes of CatDog come to mind: Dentist episode for that scene where cat inverts his body and comes out of dog's mouth to brush his teeth. That blackmail episode where they find out one of the dog bullies is doing ballet, but it backfires because he's been doing it to learn wrestling moves. The movie where they meet their parents.
