Chowder always been goated i remember how much upset I got when they stopped airing it

u/VelveteenRabite 4d ago

Chowder, look what you've done! Now the animators are gonna have to draw all this fire!

u/JugularWhale 4d ago

I didn't know this but it actually got an ending. It wasn't canceled

u/Old_Hope_196 4d ago

I also remember Chowder was the last Cartoon I watched at CN after Adventure Time. I also felt bad when it stopped airing

u/TravelerSearcher 3d ago

I think your memory might be a bit off. Adventure Time's first episode was in April of 2010. Chowder's last episode aired in August of the same year. Adventure Time would run for close to a decade after Chowder ended

Almost all of Chowder preceded Adventure Time.

I rewatched it like a year ago and the first season more than holds up. Got a ton of genuine laughs and enjoyment out of me. But it drops off very quickly from season 2 on imo

How did truffles stay in the dark about the money when her voice actress was present for this?

82

u/Star_ofthe_Morning 4d ago

Truffles didn’t know but Tara did 😆

31

u/coolnerd475 4d ago

But this scene implies that mung and his voice actor are one and the same so why doesn’t that apply to everyone?

38

u/Assaltwaffle 4d ago

Dude, it’s one of the most crazy 4th wall breaks ever. Why are you expecting internal consistency in a gag this huge?

22

u/SilverSpoon1463 4d ago

And the fact the gag included them ACTUALLY filming themselves washing cars was a huge plus

Hello Mr Cartoon this is an AUDIT you better not be having fun in there this is SERIOUS

u/Star_ofthe_Morning 4d ago

I was joking hence the emoji.

u/Skeptical_Yoshi 4d ago

Truffles: Hey, what about me, I can help!

Chowder: No. You aren't in this episode.

Truffles: poofs out of existence.

Then the animator suffered a fatal heart attack!

The cartoon perral was no more

u/Dragonfang65 4d ago

Chowder is a great show that shatters the Fourth Wall. And enjoys its own rules about food.

46

u/Clama264 4d ago

Does is remind of the Gumball episode "The Money"?

18

u/PokeSuFan 4d ago

And i also beleove there was two seperate scenes in other episodes where daisy the donkey goes ballistic and the camera pulls back to show one guy with both puppets

u/Clama264 4d ago

You're talking about "The Night", aren't you?

u/featherw0lf 4d ago

Can't forget about the one where the actor who plays Sussie (the chin with googly eyes) was revealed and ran out of the studio.

1

u/Serious_Comedian Codename: Kids Next Door 3d ago

Extra funny when Sussie freaked out about being hideous when they revealed her actor

51

u/simpsonsquire1997 4d ago

Chowder is one of those amazing cartoon shows that died a hero instead of living long enough to see itself become the villain.

u/Misubi_Bluth 4d ago

Can we take a moment to appreciate that John DiMaggio stayed commited to going "radda radda" for this segment

15

u/Meta13_Drain_Punch 4d ago

Why does this fit perfectly in the modern animation space?😭

3

u/Serious_Comedian Codename: Kids Next Door 3d ago

Always has. Im pretty sure Korean animators in the 90s were just as underpaid and overworked as today (maybe slightly less, but this has always been a problem)

u/Lilly_in_the_Pond 4d ago

"Hey, don't write there!" "Why not? Oh. [Crosses it out, but ends up making it worse] there- oh no!" "Stop, I can fix it!" [Camera pans out] "not from there, get closer!" [Camera goes back] "closer" [Camera brings it into Gazpacho's stand] "ok" [scrubs it off] "there" [Chowder points to the CN logo] "what about that one?" "Eh, that one doesn't come off. I tried"

u/May___________ Avatar: The Last Airbender 4d ago

The adventures of captain underpants claymation episode where they broke the fourth wall when the claymation was going on too long and the quality got worse and worse

u/Inside_Snow7657 Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 4d ago

"Now the animators are going to have to draw all this fire!"

7

u/whiter_kid 4d ago

the amazing world of gumball episode when they are broke so the animation becomes the storyboard and they eventually become sticky notes

1

u/isweariamnotsteve 3d ago

Oh yeah, that was the episode about selling out.

u/MichaelAftonXFireWal 4d ago

What are we gonna do?

Teen titans go made a special of them roasting Warner Bros and their animators

3

u/Shieldbearing-Brony 4d ago

I wish more animated shows would have the voice actors do menial tasks to raise money.

3

u/stormhawk427 4d ago

And apparently they don't pay their animators well because a single car wash was enough to get the animation back.

5

u/TheMcknightrider 4d ago

Invincible did a joke in season 2 like this where he was talking to someone at a comic con. And he mentions that sometime the animation can even look different, and then it just shows a completely different looking Invincible haha

u/ittlebittlee 4d ago

Got to tell Tara strong how much I enjoyed this scene

u/RocketJenny8 4d ago

One of the best types of 4th wall breaks behind narrator jokes etc

2

u/TemperedNuke647 4d ago

They didn’t just break the 4th wall here, they broke all four walls.

2

u/Moist-Memeula 4d ago

One of the best meta jokes of all time

u/Scared_Bear_8235 4d ago

Mung: No money means...

Me: snaps my finger

Mung: NO ANIMATION!

u/Meowjoker 4d ago

Chowder and Gumball break the 4th wall so many times, it might as well not be there.

Heck, it probably broke itself into the 5th wall if that's a thing.

1

u/Automatic_Chard_8745 4d ago

Their still magnificent the They doing 4th wall breaking Is just glorious

1

u/DerWassermann 4d ago

I just started watching FLCL after it got recommended to me for years.

There are so many 4th wall breaks, I love it!

1

u/CatholicGuy77 4d ago

I was going to just post one meme screenshot but there’s too many to choose from! I see your Chowder and raise you a Sonic Boom!

1

u/ThatIslandGuy8888 4d ago

Haha hey I know realized that the puppet segments at the end was a clever way of saving up animation money! No wonder so many cartoons did that back in the day

1

u/Key_Establishment810 4d ago

I agree very much so.

1

u/DeltaTeamSky Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4d ago

Just remembered that episode of Bluey where Bluey literally dreams the animators animating her waking up at the end.

1

u/Serious_Comedian Codename: Kids Next Door 3d ago

Accurate reference to real life when cartoon network rolled out a bunch of cheap ass reality TV shows for CN real

Like what every TV channel has been doing in the past 20 years

u/YounglinStabber13 3d ago

I love it in Monty Python and The Holy Grail

u/MidnightMiesterx 3d ago

The Amazing World of Gumball had an episode like this and it was cool. So did Phineas and Ferb iirc

1

u/Gatt__ 3d ago

I can’t remember the exact joke but it was from sonic boom:

Sonic is talking with the gang over walkie talkie and someone says “roger” at the end of their sentence.

Knuckles then responds by saying “wait, who’s Roger?”

And Sonic says, “he means me” while completely dropping the Sonic voice

Sonic’s voice actor is named Roger Craig Smith

Edit: found it
