comment
Imagine a channel that showed a bunch of music videos during commercial breaks. These videos featured footage from the shows the network aired, and sometimes even had original animation made for it. And here's the kicker: many songs were done by prominent artists like They Might Be Giants, will.i.am, and even Devo. Prepare to be surprised, as this was Cartoon Network during the late 1990s/early 2000s.As part of the channel's focus on Cartoon Network's "classic" programming, the videos moved to air during commercial breaks on Boomerang in the late 2000s and early 2010s. You can view many of them here and here.

Horsemen of the Apocalypse
 Cartoon Network Groovies / int_12c6bf73
comment
Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Atom's Theme has Atom fighting off four otherworldly men riding on horses. War is represented by a general with a tank, Famine by a three-headed man extolling the virtues of nuclear fire, Pestilence by a giant scrap robot breathing fire on the town, and Death by a robber planting nuclear Cartoon Bombs all over the world.

Visual Pun: The first Horseman of the Apocalypse in "Atom's Theme" is depicted as a three-headed salesman whose Coat Full of Contraband is filled with smiley faces. He's quite literally "selling smiles" (lying that everything is okay when it's not).

 Cartoon Network Groovies / int_437511de
comment
Crappy Carnival: Courage the Cowardly Dog takes place in one themed on the show, with the aptly named title "Courage's Night Terrors". The carnival itself doesn't look too bad, but it's dead empty, uncannily bright, and has attractions based on the horrors the titular character faces.

Adaptational Badass: In El Kabong Rides Again, Quick Draw McGraw is depicted as a way more effective crime-fighter than the Idiot Hero that he is in his original shorts, defeating the main villain and saving the townspeople twice over with little issue and even getting the girl in the end. Conversely, Baba Looey has to be rescued by Quick Draw twice.

Enemy Rising Behind: During Signal in the Sky, the Apples are singing the song in a tall building while the Giant Pufferfish Balloon is trying to jump up to their window without success until he uses a smaller building as a stepladder. While the rest of the band notice the monster coming up to them, the lead singer keeps going until its fin breaks through the window.
