2:42 pretty sure that shows like Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (as Grim and Evil with Hector Con Carne) and Kids Next Door started as one-off pilots later on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, not on What a Cartoon.

I dont like dexter hes jerk When he said HAHAHAHA POTATO and laughing at him

I always wondered why the newer episodes didn’t feel the same as the older ones. The network ruined just about every cartoon I loved and started making stupid shows.

Even though I am a furry that was disturbing to watch.

Steve Reviews: everything about this is just awful Me: this is my childhood Steve: repeat after me, everything Me: everything Steve: about Me: about Steve: this Me: this Steve: is Me: is Steve: just Me: just Steve: awful Me: awful Steve: everything about this is just awful Me: this is my childhood Steve: **facepalm intensifies**

Simple. They cheaped out and made trash.

Man, cartoon network just ruined all those Hannah Barbara cartoons didn't they.

I think imo...the worst change had to hit the Ed’s. Dexters Lab can still be entertaining and funny..Ed Ed and eddy just transformed

Isn't Mandark had a crush on DeDe?

"Now only the BUDGET slashed but cartoon is open aimed at younger audiences Which is NOW HEAVILY REGULATED BY Censorship and sacrificing CREATIVE WRITING In-favor of Straight Laced and more Driven Shows. " Hmmm where did I see this? 🤔 (IRmys)

I always thought PPG & Dex Lab were okay. I would definitely watch if they just happened to be on. But the newer season of Dex Lab was annoyingly unwatchable. And yeah. The things that stuck out were the "U" shape of Dee Dee's head, the flat paper-scraped Southpark style backgrounds, and that one 3 minute scene of dad trying to line up his put. Sometimes I think networks will deliberately ruin a franchise just to make people shut-up.

The episode with the gold fish terrified me when I was little lol

I preferred The Last Of Us 2's golf swing

It looks very different to show I watched it and I was back in the nineties but I was OK but their captors basic

And I like 21 now

I've been watching the 1st in South 6

10:29 You see the look on Steve's face as he says, "It isn't."? That just about says it all.

I won’t lie, that Mandark episode with the repeat of his laugh cadence, has stuck in my head for almost 2 decades now. Call it lazy, but it has been mad effective at reminding me of this show.

I thought it lunchtime is 1996 ?

I remember hating the last two seasons.

One thing that i like about the new Dexter, is that mandark's lab looks fuckin sick

Same dude who made primal worked on this

Am I the only one who likes the new character designs like if u agree

I remember seeing this show on the old boomerang I think so

Early Dexter: Great Comedy Later Dexter: W e e d C o m e d y

I think there were a few good episodes in the later seasons of Dexter's Lab but I still agree the overall quality went down.

You're being too harsh there were a few good post-Tartokovsky episodes sure not a lot but I really liked the Mandark laugh episode. It was hilarious

One episode I remember was Dexter and Computer vs Mandark. It's one of the strangest episodes to me.

I was born in 97 so u only really saw new episodes on cartoon network and i liked them differ gen of kids ig

You are all right. But still dexter is my #1 cartoon ❤📺

Actually, mandark was evil from the start. At the beginning of ego trip he said he wanted to take over the world with the protcore.

Dexter’s kan is painfully average

3:55 the humor isn’t even good it’s average at best

Remember those ugly and creepy freaks from Bugs Bunny: Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers ? Well, it's kinda like that.

Tart-Ta-Kov-skee I broke it down for yah I know Eastern northern names are hard but I can get break down any name😋😋

See bullying Mandark for dressing like a woman, worked.

Twelve

It’s back baby!

Tbh the golfing episode could've worked if like the most epic fight ever between 2 kaiju or Mech or something went down in the background

Man used a potato to power his clock. Funniest shit I've ever seen

You use the same song LA beast uses in a lot of his videos XD

does anyone know the tune that starts playing around the 6:40 mark?

Family Guy came to my mind when you mentionned the guy's laugh pattern being replicated in everything he does and the dad's golf swing. Cause that kind of idiocy isn't far removed from what FG wouldd waste time on.

Him: talking about the dad episode with golf My dark mind: look at dis cloud tho

Okay but the Mandark episode was hilarious and one of mine and my siblings' favorites We still reference that episode to this day, 18 years later

He used a potato to power a clock funniest poop I've ever seen

Ngl the car mimic his laugh is actually a good one

Doof Is Due

Dude, 1995?!! I can’t believe I used to watch this show in the 2010s while it was made in 1995, CN in my country used to air this in 2010-2011, the channel was new here so even tho I wasn’t born in the 90s I still grew up with it and it used to be my favorite show

At least it ended before it could see the true potential of how bad it could be.

What went wrong? Capitalism.

Genndy Smith

I remember being so disappointed when they revived the series. The look, the voice acting, everything was off. I loved Dexter's Laboratory and it honestly felt disrespectful of the original series in so many ways

12:55 one of the writters is a furrie 😅

I loved this cartoon

I just saw the newer season, i gotta agree to you.

The mandark laugh episode was actually decent

My childhood! along with Courage the cowardly dog, powerpuff girls , Johnny Bravo, Edd, edd n' eddy, "what-a-cartoon" ! Oh and ofc Cow and chicken!

I don't hate this era of Dexter's Laboratory because there were still some good episodes but I totally agree that the show really dropped in quality after Genndy Tartakovsky left.

i watched the show when i was really little and i never knew dexter had a dad

Lobatory

Look how short they made my boy Dexter 😔 As if he needed less inches when he already looked like a hamster

I actually liked the episode about Mandark's laugh.

Family guy got its genesis here too. with The Life of Larry and Steve. irmys.info/more/Z4mUf4x4hJqJZIY/fy-lm-h-y.html

I want to knoe the name of the music played in the backround in the beginning

Ah so I have my entire childhood to thank for what a cartoon

This new dexter is trash and jerky

I still think Dexter's Lab's first bad episode was that Christmas special. Dexter's supposed to be a genius, but he can't figure out that his a reindeer isn't his mom.

13:29 it is an animated masterpiece.

At 9:20, Mandark has five fingers, when he's supposed to have four!

YES WOOD THEWOODPEKER O LOVE THE MOVE LIKE THIS IF U THINK IT AS WELL

On an off topic note, when he mentioned “The Kids Next Door”, it reminded me of when the show was still aired on Cartoon Network. That show is only a year older than me in fact! Anyway, I won’t lie when I say I was genuinely disappointed to discover that IRmys doesn’t have ANY of the complete seasons with full episodes available to buy. I waisted my money so fast on buying all 3 seasons of Invader Zim after watching one just one episode I’d do it again for The Kids Next Door series! I genuinely loved TKND ( If such an abbreviation for the show exists ) and hopefully IRmys makes them available to buy in the future.

12:12 what the hell don’t mix us into this

I've watched Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip, it was awesome, because Dexter went through time to team up with his 3 future selves: Number 12 Dexter, Old Man Dexter, and Action Dexter. that movie was so cool, i enjoy it.

I actually don't mind some of the post season two episodes like I kinda liked seeing mandarks parents but most of them as you show were pretty cringe, out of character and nowhere near as good as the original.

Loooooved Ego Trip! I did feel it would have been a great place to end it

This is pretty nostalgic

Guy who made dexter made samurai jack...imagine coming back to dexter but darker.

I had forgotten about the monkey and duck..... Thanks

Idk why but the new artstlye mom is scaring me.

I just realized Grew from Despicable Me is a rip-off of Dexter.

also i thought the thing about mandarks real name being Susan the reference to that song a boy named Sue was awesome

my favorite was the one with DeeDees dance

Man watching this is making me go down memorie lane I never picked up on the grown up stuff back then now that I'm seeing this today I'm laughing lol

The failure of these awesome cartoons I say awesome cause there is no better word... The loss of these... Send me away from cartoons fuck people in suits for ever kill them

If you think the monkey and the duck thing was bad than need I remind you that monkey was paired up with the human Agent Honeydew?

I just realized something. With Mandark's mom being a hippie who wanted to go against the normies, why would she force her son to practice the piano? Granted, we're talking about a hippie chick who lives in suburbia and forces her son to basically be a girl, but it just seems out of character to even force her kid to do anything really. Practicing the piano was what Dexter's folks made Dexter do with the Paul Williams music teacher. So, if Mandark would've been forced to play anything, it should've been a sitar, a guitar, or the bangos.

everything went wrong in 2001...

I remember changing the channel with the monkey and duck scene when my parents would walk by. I just....don't know what they were thinking

It's not really beastiality if it's two animals doing it that's just nature.

I know what went wrong with dexter He was done with dd's shit! XD

Omelette du fromage

I have done nothing but teleportet bread for 3 days

When they redrew the family the mom always weird’d me out cause her Pupils look like reptile 🦎 eyes

Do you mean 1930's to 1960's. In 1960's the Golden age of animation came to an end.

I can’t be the only one who was fucking scarred by that Monkey and Ducky make out scene! My uncle used to love watching Dexter’s Lab with me and I remember before that cringy episode was about to start, I immediately changed it telling my uncle that I wanted to watch something else just so I wouldn’t have to sit there awkwardly while we watched a duck and a monkey make out with each other. 😂

When I see genndy tartakovsky, I get excited

He has 3 legs

PLEASE REVIEW STEVEN UNIVERSE FUTURE! Its a great show
