3	''[=Sunday Pants=]'' is an American animated anthology series created by Craig "Sven" Gordon and Stuart Hill for Creator/CartoonNetwork, produced by Spitfire Studios, and aired from October 2–30, 2005. The series primarily aired every Sunday night at 9:30 PM, hence the name Sunday Pants. The series only lasted for 11 episodes, while only the first five aired. The show was cancelled on February 5, 2006.

5	After its predecessor, What a Cartoon!, Cartoon Network produced an all-new animated short series consisting of overseas shorts, pilots, college shorts, or even shorts created for the show itself. That show was called Sunday Pants; it first aired on the day of October 2, 2005. The anthology varies on different types of animation, from traditional hand-drawn animation, to Flash, or even CGI, similar to shows like MTV's ''WesternAnimation/LiquidTelevision'' and Nickelodeon's ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam''. Michael Ouweleen, co-creator of Adult Swim's Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law served as the show's creative director.

7	The show has a similar concept to What a Cartoon!, except that the shorts are 1–3 minutes long and the show is squeezed to be 23 minutes (without commercials). There are animated and live-action intervals in-between shorts. The live-action ones are performed by American band The Slacks, while the animated ones are produced by [=WeFail=].

9	This is the second Cartoon Network original series to be rated TV-PG. Despite not airing on Cartoon Network's Creator/AdultSwim line-up, it is considered more of a traditional adult's animated comedy than a children's cartoon.

11	The show lasted for less than a month, with its final airing taking place on October 30, 2005. In January 2006, the show was announced to be returning the month after, but said return never came to fruition and the series was ultimately cancelled.

13	In 2015, several cartoon streaming sites released the five out of eleven episodes that were produced on their sites. It is now easy-to-find on the web with a simple Google search.

49	!!This show has examples of:
50
51	%% * AllCGICartoon
52	* AllThereInTheManual: The website itself has a section where you get to learn the brothers' language.
53	* AnimatedAnthology: It had recurring sketches each week.
54	* ButtMonkey: Bernard. Episodes rarely (if ever) went right for the guy.
55	* CatchPhrase: "YAHZAA ADRENALINI!" (Usually said by Xan right before the brothers pull a stunt, but also used by all three as a greeting.)
56	* DarkerAndEdgier: It airs more adult-oriented cartoon sketches than children's ones and holds the honor of CN's second original series to be rated TV-PG. Plus, it got away with using "damn" a few times.
57	* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: In ''Weighty Decisions: Sketch 3 1/2'', Neil finds out he might be replaced and worries about his finances since he just bought a cabin. Gordon tries to cheer him up by reminding him he has a baby on the way, which just freaks him out since he now has to worry about that.
58	* GoodAngelBadAngel: Weighty Decisions parodied this concept with the angel and devil constantly getting sidetracked from the man's moral dilemma.
59	* RogerRabbitEffect: The Angels and Devils in Weighty Decisions are animated while everything else is live action.
