** "Frothy Dawg" is about a manically grinning rabid dog with a bad habit of biting everyone who gets too close to him and in one shot is shown to have infected a raccoon, a monkey, a bat and a squirrel with his disease, all of them smiling as if they're friends hanging out rather than afflicted with an infection that has drastically reduced their lifespans. In addition, the end of the title sequence shows that the episode is the seventh of his series, alluding to the fact that dogs infected with rabies typically die within a week when not treated in time.

''Cartoons That Never Made It'' was a series of interstitials that aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork in 1997 and were animated by [=AMPnyc=] Animation.

The shorts were about non-existent cartoons that never made it past the pilot due to their premises being laughably terrible. The four shorts consisted of "Rupert the Grouper", "Frothy Dawg", "Heidi and the Yodelers" and "Salt 'n' Slug".
----
!!Tropes:
* BlackComedy: Most of the shorts have a humorously morbid premise.
** "Rupert the Grouper" stars a dancing fish who ends up dying from being out of his fishbowl too long by the time the title sequence ends. The actual episode is just a brief clip of some people dancing around his corpse, while the end credits show his dead body starting to smell and attract flies.
** "Frothy Dawg" is about a perpetually rabid dog with a bad habit of biting everyone who gets too close to him and in one shot is shown to have infected a raccoon, a monkey, a bat and a squirrel with his disease. In addition, the end of the title sequence shows that the episode is the seventh of his series, alluding to the fact that dogs infected with rabies typically die within a week.
** "Salt 'n' Slug" is about an anthropomorphic salt shaker and a slug being in love, which predictably ends with the salt shaker accidentally killing the slug by exposing her to his contents.
* DogsLoveFireHydrants: "Frothy Dawg" features a shot of the titular dog peeing on a hydrant.
* GoryDiscretionShot: When Salt ends up killing Slug in "Salt 'n' Slug", we only show the other characters' horrified reactions to Slug's exposure to sodium chloride and all that's left of her when we see her again is a pile of ash.
* InterspeciesRomance: "Salt 'n' Slug" is about an anthropomorphic salt shaker being in love with a slug, a pairing that predictably doesn't end well.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: In "Salt 'n' Slug", Salt is a male blue salt shaker and Slug is a female pink slug.
* PsychoStrings: A shrill musical sting is played in "Frothy Dawg" when Frothy turns around and the father and son browsing the pet store window see that he is rabid.
* YodelLand: "Heidi and the Yodelers" consists of a parody of ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats'' where the band are a group of stereotypical Swiss yodelers clad in lederhosen who ride in a car shaped like Swiss cheese.
