1	* One of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUfET1HoSx0 interstitials]] the channel used to run featured the ''{{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}}'' version of Aquaman and Wonder Woman being slowly lowered into a death trap inside the headquarters of the LegionOfDoom:
2	-->'''Aquaman:''' My ability to talk with fish is of no help, Wonder Woman!
3	-->'''Wonder Woman:''' ''[long-suffering eye roll]''
4	** And the blast from [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Bubbles]] at the end:
5	-->'''Wonder Woman:''' You girls are developing into quite the superheroes!
6	-->'''Bubbles:''' Someday we'll be as developed as you!
7	-->''[cue embarrassed look from Wonder Woman and the Legion of Doom snickering]''
8	*** As Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom start laughing at Bubbles' InnocentInnuendo, a brick falls off of the ceiling and hits Luthor square on the head. He gives a loud "OW!", and [[ComedicSociopathy the heroes join in]] [[EveryoneLaughsEnding on the laughing]].
9	** Luthor mistakenly calls the girls "The Powderpuff Girls". When they correct him, we get this:
10	-->'''Lex:''' (''after being informed that there is no "D" in Powerpuff'') Well, there is a "D" in "destroy". As in ''destroy them!''\
11	''(nothing happens)''\
12	'''Lex:''' (''with more feeling'') DESTROY THEM!\
13	''(the Legion of Doom attacks)''
14	* Similarly, the instantly memorable "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGQEAiZJMco Solomon Grundy want pants, too!]]"
15	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlo3x0NMs5g Fred encourages kids to speak their mind.]]
16	-->'''Fred:''' You know, throughout the years, a lot of people have asked me, "Fred, why the scarf?" And I always tell them the same thing: "Why don't you mind your own ''[bleep]'' business, pal?! I'm a ''[bleep]'' cartoon star! I have more ''[bleep]'' in ''[bleep]'' people telling me ''['''long''' bleep]'' what I want to wear!!" ''[{{beat}} as the gang gawk at Fred's sudden outburst]'' [[MoodWhiplash ...So don't be afraid to express your true self. And remember, fashion first!]]
17	* The old promo "Yogi's I.D." where because Yogi forgot his I.D. card, ''nobody'' recognizes him. This leads to a lot of ComicallyMissingThePoint.
18	-->'''Security Guard:''' Inch-High Private Eye?
19	-->'''Yogi:''' I'm taller than you.
20	-->'''Security Guard''' Speed Buggy?
21	-->'''Yogi:''' HE'S A CAR!! Sheesh!
22	-->'''Security Guard:''' Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
23	-->'''Yogi:''' But Hal, we bowled together.
24	-->'''Security Guard:''' ''(mumbles)''
25	-->'''Yogi:''' You named your kid after me!
26	-->'''Security Guard:''' You named your kid WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost?
27	** In addition, the promo ends with the security guards letting Dick Dastardly carry a bomb through.
28	* And from "[[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Edd]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h97Pa-SQ0RQ&feature=related and]] Ugh".
29	-->'''Fred Flintstone:''' Put a shirt on, Ugh.
30	-->'''Ugh:''' [[SarcasmMode Nice tunic.]] They sell man clothes where you buy that?
31	** Dino Boy is briefly seen trying to hide behind a corner as Ugh walks by.
32	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzth7hcueTs An old commercial]] pretty much [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructs]] the HalfDressedCartoonAnimal trope by placing [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]], [[WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound Huckleberry Hound]], [[WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw Quick Draw McGraw]], and [[WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel I.M. Weasel]] in [[RogerRabbitEffect the midst of a live-action convenience store]], where hilarity ensues as they attempt to deal with the irritable shopkeeper. Just one highlight is when Fred points out to the shopkeeper how paradoxical the DressCode is:
33	-->'''Fred:''' Where's your bathroom?
34	-->'''Store Owner:''' Ergh, can't you read? ''(motions over to sign)'' "No shirt, no shoes, no service!" State law.
35	-->'''Fred:''' Alright. I'll get some flip-flops!
36	-->'''Store Owner:''' I can't sell you flip-flops! ''"No service!"''
37	-->'''Fred:''' So, you're saying I can't buy shoes, because I don't ''have'' shoes?!
38	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqItc1rZGg "Sheep In The Big Cafeteria"]]. All of it.
39	-->'''Employee:''' This is why I don't eat here.
40	* [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone,]] WesternAnimation/ThundarrTheBarbarian, and [[WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken Chicken]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJI5D8KOJU&feature=relmfu looking for a parking spot]].
41	** Even funnier, the Yogi's ID commercial and the Edd & Ugh commercial even act as direct sequels if you spot them in the background finally getting into the building with their lunch in hand.
42	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDppJFhHEKk This ad]] has HilariousInHindsight written all over it.
43	* The Birthday Party.
44	** [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Mr. Spacely]] [[NotSoAboveItAll going shirtless]].
45	** [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Madame Foster]] chewing out WesternAnimation/PorkyPig on not wearing pants after letting [[WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken Chicken]] and [[WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity Sheep]] through without any trouble.
46	** Lion-O is about to use the Sword of Omens to find [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Velma's]] glasses, only for her to find them before he finishes his phrase. This makes him depressed... [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny until about 2 seconds later when he sees a photo booth.]]
47	** [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} All]] [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce three]] [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Bens]] meeting each other.
48	--->'''[[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Lumpy Space Princess:]]''' [[RunningGag Awkward.]]
49	** [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Jake]] [[TakeThatScrappy pushing]] [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scrappy-Doo]] [[TakeThatScrappy out of the picture]].
50	** [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog Eustace]] showing [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Muscle Man]] a picture of his family.
51	--->'''Eustace:''' That's me dog, Courage. But don't let that name fool ya! He's scared of his own shadow!
52	--->'''Muscle Man:''' ''(points to Muriel in the photo)'' That's a scary monster.
53	--->'''Eustace:''' That's my wife!
54	--->''({{beat}})''
55	--->'''Lumpy Space Princess:''' Awkward.
56	--->'''Muscle Man:''' [[RunningGag You know who else is a scary monster? MY MOM!]]
57	** [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Gumball]] waiting at the bathroom and [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Grim]] appears behind him in a puff of green flame.
58	---> '''Gumball''': Come on! I gotta go!
59	---> '''Grim''': We all have to go sometime...to the bathroom, that is.
60	---> '''Gumball''': [[PottyFailure I think I just did]].
61	* In the 20th Anniversary music video, there's:
62	** [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime BEEMO]], [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Rosie]], and [[WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones Robot Jones]] trying to do the Robot together.
63	** WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo's reaction to [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn]]'s hair.
64	** [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Muscle Man]] trying to flip [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]]'s car.

Baboon]], [[WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey Jake Spidermonkey]], [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Monkey]], [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Mojo Jojo]], [[WesternAnimation/CampLazlo Lazlo]], and WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla.
66	* In a different 20th Anniversary promo, [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Ben]], [[WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex Rex]], [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold Batman]], and WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls are hanging out and eating cake under a banner that says "Heroes are Awesome"...until Zombozo walks over, at which point everyone stops to glare at him. He sees the banner, [[OhCrap realizes where he is]], and then yells [[LookBehindYou "Look, someone needs help!"]] before running off with the cake. The best part? ''[[NotSoAboveitAll Batman actually looks where he's pointing!]]''
67	* [[WesternAnimation/SuperFriends Zan and Jana's]] public-service [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r8CBl6dwl4 announcement]] goes off the rails when Zan starts griping about his superpower: "I could be beaten by a sponge! It wouldn't even have to be an evil sponge!"
68	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlex1wCGBeM The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8igsJR2d-s five]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Frw_3qksLk Staylongers]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aZALiVm_kU bumpers]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYyb9h0KfOE where]] were a series of animated parodies of Series/{{Survivor}} with two tribes, one consisting of classic Hanna-Barbara cartoon characters and the other consisting of characters under the Cartoon Cartoon brand (and also Brak due to a technicality). And they're all filled to the brim with these moments.
69	** Zandor recounting his relationship with the rest of his tribe.
70	--->'''Zandor''': But that Wonder Woman... I don't trust her. And Top Cat. Hmm.
71	--->''(scene cuts to a prior exchange)''
72	--->'''Zandor''': I chopped enough firewood to last us two more weeks.
73	--->'''Top Cat''': Congratulations, Mr. Lincoln. Let me know when you've written your address.
74	*** Later on from the same scene...
75	---->'''Zandor''': I don't think [Wonder Woman] likes me.
76	---->'''Betty Rubble''': ''(in a confessional)'' I don't think she likes him.
77	---->'''Wonder Woman''': ''(in a confessional)'' I don't like him.
78	** As the Cartoon Cartoon Tribe stares reluctantly at a rat they caught as a source of food...
79	--->'''Blossom:''' Mandark, have you ever eaten a rat?
80	--->'''Mandark:''' No. I ate at the school cafeteria once.
81	--->'''Johnny Bravo:''' I ain't eating no rat.
82	--->'''Eustace:''' You'll eat it and like it, mister!
83	--->'''Johnny Bravo:''' Alright! Look here, Pa Kettle -- I've been cutting you a lot of slack cause your old.
84	--->'''Eustace:''' I'll take that yield sign you call a hairdo and beat you with it!
85	*** Later, when Eustace finally decides to eat the rat, everyone else stares in mild disgust.
86	---->'''Johnny Bravo:''' Y'know, maybe there's a reason [[WesternAnimation/TomandJerry Tom never caught Jerry.]]
87	** On the final day, when it's down to just 3 contestants:
88	--->'''Betty:''' ''(thinking)'' I'm really gonna miss these people.
89	--->'''Eustace:''' ''(thinking)'' I hope I never see any of these freaks again!
90	--->'''Brak:''' ''(thinking)'' Boy, that Betty's really hot. HA HA HA-... ''(Brak notices everyone staring at him)'' Wait. I'm thinking out loud! OHHHHH!! Never mind...
91	** As the host questions how Eustace manged to make it to the finals despite being a constant annoyance and hindrance to his team:
92	--->'''Eustace:''' I wish I could read their minds, but they're all written in nitwit!
93	*** An earlier scene reveals that one of the main reasons he wasn't voted off was because Chicken didn't know how to spell "Eustace" and Brak would vote for 19th century US Presidents such as James K(ool) Polk.
94	** The reveal that [[spoiler: the entire series was just a daydream Brak was having]].
95	--->'''Brak:''' I was on a deserted island with 15 other contestants and we had to survive by our wits.
96	--->'''Space Ghost:''' Hmm. must have gone quickly.
97	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=P1CX9DC3tXg This video]] where [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Ed]] goes on a date with [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Daphne]].
98	* In a 2001 commercial, various cartoon stars are calling in sick so they can have time to themselves. As the receptionist gets hoards of calls, we cut to the parking lot, which is ''completely'' empty. Because of it, the network runs a 24-hour marathon of ''WesternAnimation/TheKwickyKoalaShow''.
99	** Space Ghost and Brak's call deserves a mention.
100	-->'''Brak:''' ''(falsetto)'' This is Space Ghost's mother, and Space Ghost can't come in today because he's sick. ''(normal voice)'' I think she bought it.
101	* In "Cartoon Auto Repair", [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog Eustace]]'s pickup truck gets "redrawn" by an auto shop after a car accident, but when he gets into the truck, ''it flies off''! The mechanic and his assistant watch it soar away confused, and then...
102	-->'''Lady''': Joel, Mr. [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Jetson]]'s on the phone. He wants to know when he can come get his space car.
103	-->'''Mechanic''': (''{{Beat}}'') Tell him we're waiting on a part to come back.
104	* During the commercial for the [[http://youtu.be/wtQKGaE9Q2k 2014 Hall of Games Awards]], [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Gumball]] suggests to [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Benson]] that they should switch names.
105	* [[https://vimeo.com/60559758 This promo for the 20th anniversary.]]
106	* The Advertising/{{CN City}} ads have some good ones:
107	** In one very quick bumper, we have a billboard with [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Grim]]'s face overlooking a freeway. On it reads:
108	---> [[BlackComedy Not wearing a seatbelt? See you soon!]]
109	** The one with [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy the Eds]] sneaking [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKC1qsQRDkk into a movie theater.]]
110	** WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack and WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOeo_zHTWB4 at the cleaners]].
111	** [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo The Mystery Machine]] meets the WesternAnimation/MegasXLR and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdzwR44H4Tg Fred tries to improve his street cred with Coop and Jamie]].
112	** Another quick bumper has a sign that reads "Please Drive Carefully. Not all pedestrians are [[AmusingInjuries Wile E. Coyote.]]"
113	* [[http://cartoonnetwork.tumblr.com/post/144268534405/get-on-the-hype-train-7-shows-7-new-episodes This]] promo for Yoursday, featuring several characters from the block dressing up as each other.
114	* [[https://gracekraft.tumblr.com/post/144261806306/ive-been-working-on-this-little-animation-for-a This]] promo as well, which has [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 Bubbles]] using her HardLight powers to turn into a seal to balance a bubbled [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Steven]] on her nose. It's also pretty adorable.
115	* [[http://cartoonnetwork.tumblr.com/post/144969578570/youre-a-fionnaand-youre-a-fionna-yoursday-is Another Yoursday promo]]. [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Fionna hats]] for everyone!
116	* During the 2000 United States Presidential Election, Cartoon Network ran it's Cartoon Campaign 2000 in which 50 of its characters ran for president of Cartoon Network. Most of them ran ads, but two in particular stand out; both of which are direct shout outs to iconic real life campaign ads.
117	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CrQ44o_zwM First off is Brak's]] which is Dwight Eisenhower's famous animated campaign ad with Brak's face superimposed over it.
118	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUp5kygJL8g And second is Yogi Bear's]] which is an attack ad which smears Marvin the Martian by reenacting Lyndon B. Johnson's very infamous Daisy Girl ad.
119	* The promo department was really getting into the parodies- their successive ''Big Game'' specials took aim at sports broadcasting and the Super Bowl with old cartoons as the base, with each one getting more and more overloaded with satirical stuff. See the Awesome page for all the stops they pulled out.
120	** One particularly funny moment came during the ''[[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Road Runner vs. Coyote]]'' game. Toward the end, when the Roadrunner had a large margin of victory (and the Coyote had ''[[EpicFail negative]]'' points), commentators John Madden and Pat Summerall said that the game might as well end right now. After they say this, [[UsefulNotes/SportsPreemption the game (briefly) cuts to the opening of a film called]] ''Literature/{{Heidi}}''.
121	* The time Cartoon Network managed to sneak an ad for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays onto ''Nickelodeon'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIw_bFP1YVA of all channels]].
122	* Unfortunately, it can only be seen online on the Internet Archive, but ''The 1st 13th Annual Fancy Anvils Awards Show Special Live in Stereo'', was chock full of hilarious moments.
123	** The red carpet coverage refers to [[WesternAnimation/MikeLuAndOg Og]] as "Mike, Lu or Og. [[TakeThat I think."]]
124	** The opening musical number is a big TakeThat at Awards shows in general, such as friends stabbing each other in the backs, and how the awards are fixed and rehearsed.
125	** Thundarr thinking to himself how he regrets wearing a loincloth tuxedo.
126	-->'''Thundarr''': Even that Rolf kid from ''Ed, Edd N Eddy'' was laughing at me. That kid wears a sweater to the beach, for crying out loud!
127	** After [[WesternAnimation/TopCat Top Cat]] makes a comment on his age, [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog Eustace]] then does one-armed push-ups, which is a ShoutOut to when Creator/JackPalance infamously did the same at the Oscars.
128	** After the cross-dressing montage:
129	-->'''Johnny Bravo''': Yeah, you and me both, buddy! Oh, (''checks his watch''), live TV, you gotta love it!
130	** After the Mayor wins "Best Gratuitous Hiney Shot", he says something that causes the whole show to stop.
131	-->'''The Mayor''': I think I'll go butt-naked more often from now on. You know what, I think I'll even go butt-naked right now-- (''cue Technical Difficulties card'')
132	** The running gag of WesternAnimation/GooberAndTheGhostChasers getting nominated for nearly every category.
133	* An early commercial to promote the Cartoon Cartoon branding had I. M. Weasel explaining to the viewer the difference between the high quality entertainment under the Cartoon Cartoons branding and "a cartoon such as this" which has Weasel pointing to a really blatant parody of Nickelodeon's ''WesternAnimation/AngryBeavers'' titled "Two Really Upset Otters". And then goes on to throw jabs at several older cartoons which they are allowed to show and mock directly.
134	-->'''Weasel:''' ''(showing the intro to'' Johnny Bravo'')'' This is a Cartoon Cartoon.\
135	''(changes to the opening of Turbo-Teen)''\
136	'''Weasel:''' This is something wholly other.\
137	''(changes to the opening of'' Cow and Chicken'')''\
138	'''Weasel:''' This is a Cartoon Cartoon.\
139	''(changes to the opening of'' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids'')''\
140	'''Weasel:''' This is... in color.\
141	''(changes to the opening of'' Dexter's Lab'')''\
142	'''Weasel:''' This is a Cartoon Cartoon.\
143	''(changes to the opening of'' The Gary Coleman Show'')''\
144	'''Weasel:''' This is... well... you get the idea.
145	* The intro to The Bugs & Daffy Show[[note]]one of Cartoon Network's many ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' anthology shows[[/note]] has WesternAnimation/BugsBunny receiving applause for doing practically nothing, contrasting WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck's increasingly dangerous attempts to receive applause to no avail. It's revealed at the end that Bugs Bunny had an applause switch the whole time.
