Tomar HATES this cartoon

>>149934404 (OP)
One of CN’s most underrated shows. Would have probably done better on [adult swim] tho

>>149934404 (OP)
>WELL DON’T JUST STAND THERE!
>(army men proceed to sit)
>NO I MEAN GET SHEEP!
Lines like this are why Specific is one of my favorite CN villains

>>149934440
The fact AS didn’t get it makes me MAD

fat her

>>149934580
ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY I AM NOT MAD I’M ANGRY ANGRYYY ANGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

>>149934404 (OP)
The show’s ending where Sheep turns into Hitler was very unexpected

I remember liking this cartoon but I don't remember a single line or episode about it.

>>149934749
Prof. Gangrene did the joke first.

love how the villain casually has a sign saying he has a evil military base

>>149936121

>>149934404 (OP)
Why is a sheep in a big city in the first place?

>>149934404 (OP)
Why did the army leader want to kill the sheep again?

>>149936436

OXYMORON, WITH THE POWER OF AN OX
(MOOOOOOOO)

>>149936644
erm ackshually, he wanted to put the sheep in a cannon and kill everyone with it

>>149934404 (OP)
Clever comfy show. But not very interesting beyond the wordplay humor.

>>149934404 (OP)
This show had such a unhinged plot that if you described it to someone, they’d think you’re crazy

>>149934404 (OP)
BAAAAA

>>149937113
>General Specific
oh lol, I barely knew any English back when this show aired and I actually remember him as General Pacific.

>>149937113
I knew the German Shepherd wasn’t going to be a dog and yet it still got me

>>149938659
Laundry Detergent
Dog Food
SHRIMPOLA COLA
Whatever other products they sell

which show was better, this or Robot Jones

>>149934404 (OP)
I still remember watching it at one of my friends place late in the evening. It used to be on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. I never forgot about it. It's definitely an obsecure show from the 2000s.

Mo Williams, the creator of the series, now makes childrens books

>>149942050
Girls Gone Wild

>>149942050
Robot Jones, tho I do like both

>>149942053
I think he was also the right hand man of Mr. Warburton during the KND days

ill play the glockenspiel if you play the tuba

>>149934515
kek worthy quote

>>149937113
I've never seen this. This is great. Thanks.

holy shit this is where "general specific and private public" come from, i remember reading those names years ago and tought that's some really simple but astonishingly coincidental word play that's possible, and being disapppointed thta on top of the opposites, "general public" words but "private specific" doesn't

i want to see his private go public if you know what i mean

>>149934432
who?

was any of the staff for this also responsible for XRA

That sheep hunter and his second in command were the show's best part imo

Controversial take, but Sheep because only that old lady was shitting on him and not an entire school, DEVO, literal Hitler and early /co/

>>149943633
GROOVY DOOVY

>>149942139
Yes, he was

>>149946419
>and early /co/
KEK, back then, /co/mrades were absolutely savage to that show and treated it as the worst shit imaginable when in reality it wasn’t even that bad

>>149934404 (OP)
>General Lee Outrageous
probably one of the greatest puns ever known to man

>>149934404 (OP)
The trailer for Sheep in the Big City probably cost more than the show itself
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmUMTWeTEhA

Fine, I can accept that a sheep desperately wanted by the military for a ray gun can get a job, BUT AN APARTMENT, IN THE BIG CITY, HELLO!

>>149947216
It was a different time

>>149934404 (OP)
>>>/his/

>>149942544
i’ll be in switzerland but you like aruba

The only thing I remember about this cartoon is an episode that starts with the narrator bitching about the show not being nominated for an award because the show was too boring
Man, the writers got really butthurt

>>149947164
Imagine a live action remake

>>149934404 (OP)
Meta humor at it’s finest

>>149941398

>>149934432
In which video do they mention it?

>>149949845
This one

>>149934404 (OP)
Season 2 has some funny episodes

>>149950470
Yeah, but I consider Season 1’s ending to be the true ending

>>149934404 (OP)
Does no even remember the Fake ads from this cartoon, as in my country they actually reran them (even several years after Sheep in the Big City went off air) during the real ad-breaks along with other fake ads from other different cartoons and real ads?

>>149950423
>Hulk in the Big City
LMAO

>>149950601
I wonder how much people in your homeland thought Oxymoron was a real company?

>>149934404 (OP)
WHO WINS
sheep
or a big city

>>149947227
Nice thumbnail, ant anon

>>149947227
2002 was definitely the best year in 2000s entertainment wise like music, video games, & movies. Everything went downhill in 2003 then started decaying in 2004. The 2000s peaked in 2001 but went downhill after 9/11. 9/11 waa the beginning of the end.

I USED THE PLOT DEVICE
(hello)

>>149950423
>tomar shaking hands with sheep in the big city

>>149951081
Actually they only reran the Fake ads from the different cartoons only on the respective channel they were on, so the Oxymoron ads were only on Cartoon Network ad-breaks in many ways it was more or less like that thing which had the all Cartoon network characters living together than actual ads.

>>149946419
Randomly throwing early /co/ in a list of RJ’s enemies may be one of the funniest things i’ve seen all month

>>149943569
Major Television Event may be one of my favorite names for Specific’s henchmen

As a Dane, the ranting Swede was some of the funniest shit to me as a kid.
Probably helped that they got an actual Swede for the dub.

>>149947164
This is incredible. How fucking deep does this sheep-shaped rabbit hole go? I feel like I've missed out on something that would have formed a large part of my brain.

>>149934515
>LOOK MEN!
>(army men proceed to look)
>NO NOT THAT WAY, LOOK THIS WAY WHERE SHEEP IS!
>Ohhhhh
>NOW, LOOK MEN!
>(proceed to look the right way)

My favorite joke in this series was when OneyPlays was pissed off by it’s existence

>>149955532
lmao

>>149934404 (OP)
Reminder that the show was supposed to end with Sheep in the Big City waging war on all narrators and killing 6 million of them with his ray gun

>>149956346
Didn't the show end with them creating a narrator powered ray gun, and then trying to capture the narrator instead?

>>149947164
Seeing the actual animation after the trailer felt like a rug pull. Imagine if we got a live-action cartoon hybrid instead, would've been kino.

>>149956384
Yes
I am still surprised 2 very obscure Cartoon Cartoons had dark messed up finales, except that one succeeded while the other was canned before it got to that point

>>149956346
Kek. Sheep is /oursheep/

Sorry guys
This was one of those shows that, if it came on, I was turning the channel.
I don't remember hating it, I just didn't like it.

>>149956876
YOU BAAAAAAA-STARD! (i understand why tho)

>>149947238
kek

>>149951756
ok industrycuck

>>149956346
>Sheep lives in the Big City
>9/11 happens
>Sheep now wants to Make the Big City Great Again

>>149939388
I think that's why this kinda is why it got cancelled quickly and Mo Willems and his yelling humor for a bunch of the characters gets old. I did like his books as a kid but hearing all the yelling is a little grating. But yeah a lot of the subversive humor about authority figures and corporations is pretty redpilling for children. I can see how he influenced the humor of KND.
>>149950423
>>149955532
They didn't seem too pissed. But maybe there's another clip. I also might remember Dingdong talking about this show. Also the finale joke of the dumb guy reading the title is very Oneyplays-esque humor.
>>149953534
What? RJ has a reference to /co/? Really? Do you have a pic?
I need to watch that and the rest of Sheep.
Also this specific episode's TV gag opening has a woman that reminds me of Ragatha.

Kinda weird.

>>149951699
It's from a different time
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/11/tech/aol-dial-up-internet-discontinue

>>149951756
for me, the 2000s was a great decade and the final decade ever. It actually ended right when the recessions happened

>>149957313
It didn't, I was referencing old /co/'s hatred towards it

>>149957485
Oh ok. Why did old /co/ hate it then?

>>149957718
Mean spiritedness, bad art style, and other things (this was from before the series was uploaded to the web)
