[stargirl]

That promo is AWESOME! Very creative and kinda funny!

"ARE YOU CN THIS?!" Yeeeeah...:cool:

[Sketch]

Neat promo. Comedy's the heart and action is the soul huh?

[PalmelaFC]

That is a cool promo

Just a question: Is there an intro to CN?

[Mugsy]

They have been playing this promo a lot lately on CN, it is one of my favorite promo's ever and the song is catchy.

"One has lots of action, and the other lots of HAR!!" LOL....

[KidsWBYourSelf]

That is a cool promo

Just a question: Is there an intro to CN?
Yes, there is. It starts with the Nood from the CN/AS transition painting the black screen white, while two Noods carry a dark color bar, the bar becomes lit, then the two Noods carry the CN logo onto the screen, then the Noods dance to their success.

[Mugsy]

I love the CN intro/outro when they air the AS block, things like that make CN special in my eyes. It's like they are carefully crafting the network and it seems as if every month CN is doing something to better themselves and make their nextwork the place to be....

[Mesousa]

I've seen it A LOT! And I never get tired of it!

I also always have thought that It was named "Are you Seein' It", but it's "Are You CN This?" (YES!), instead.

Yeah, I wanted to say that.

[Racattack!Force]

"Batman, Ben 10...Alien Force! And The Secret Saturdays kicking some..."

What are the Saturdays kicking? :sweat: Never understood that little part.

[Comics_the_QB]

"Batman, Ben 10...Alien Force! And The Secret Saturdays kicking some..."

What are the Saturdays kicking? :sweat: Never understood that little part.

Is that what they say?

I thought it said "And the Secreat Saturdays keeping on course..." :sweat:

[Mini Garbonzo]

What are the Saturdays kicking? :sweat: Never understood that little part.
There are alot of lyrics in that song I don't get, "...Becareful not to hurl!" :confused:

I've seen it A LOT! And I never get tired of it!

I do.......

[Racattack!Force]

Is that what they say?

I thought it said "And the Secreat Saturdays keeping on course..." :sweat:They said that? That song really is confusing. :sweat:

[warnerbroman]

and I want to see that lady dancer's face

[Jack_6428]

i personally really hate it...i think the oldschool CN rap song was zillion times cooler..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT1wXm-rqLo

and this one, is the best (1996):

this new white rainbow crap..it just doesnt have that special feeling..its just a dumb rap song with jumping fools...no offense, i just dont like it at all, sorry...

Man, I remember those.
This new one would be better if it had the Noods dancing and singing.

[Mini Garbonzo]

Someone really needs to post the lyrics, I'm having trouble defining how humor relates to a "...Burger with cheese!"

[MasterofRoku]

It's pretty cool, better than the "Fall is something that grownups invented" song.

[Silverstar]

It's pretty cool, better than the "Fall is something that grownups invented" song.

Considering the "Fall" song represented what was arguably CN's lowest moment to date, that wouldn't take much.

[Racattack!Force]

Here are the lyrics, in case anyone is wondering what the heck those guys are saying. :D

Hey I wanna give a lesson in anatomy, yo!
Learn about the structure of awesome TV!
The name is Cartoon Network,
there are two major parts:
one has lots of action
and the other lots of HAR! (har har har)

Let me break it down,
and you will understand...
what and where and how to watch
the lay of the land!

Are you CN this!? (x2)

(Har, har, har)
Thursdays are our night,
for hilarity:
Chowder in the kitchen,
Flapjack out to sea!
They keep em laughing,
like I can have a burger with chesse!

But there's one more show,
that's topping off the night.
It also tops the ratings,
so all sorts of fine!
We call it TDI (whoa),
it's our biggest hit:
Like a snow day,
everyone's loving it!

Are you CN this!? (x2)

Have you ever heard the phrase (yeah)
"YOU ARE HERE"?
It refers to night that
we drop it into gear!
Batman, Ben 10: Alien Force,
and The Secret Saturdays
keep us on course!

Morphing into martian,
saving the world!
"You Are Here" is tons of fun,
be careful not to hurl.

Obi Wan, Yoda, Skywalker...
General Grievous is a Jedi stalker!
Lightsaber battles...using the force,
Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
I highly endorse.

So comedy's the heart,
and action is the soul.
They make this network come alive,
that's how we roll!

Are you CN this!? (x2)

[DarthGonzo]

It's pretty cool, better than the "Fall is something that grownups invented" song.

A kick in the pants is better than that song.

[Mini Garbonzo]

It's pretty cool, better than the "Fall is something that grownups invented" song.
I can name alot of things that were better than that song...starting with "Manos".

[Chykin]

A kick in the pants is better than that song.
And yet for some reason I have on my MP3 player. *Goes to delete*

[NayokoKihara]

I wonder if CN hired a professional dance crew/team? It would be nice if they hired a group like KABA Modern.

[Rolling Cloud]

A kick in the pants is better than that song.

lol, I definitely agree.

[Matthew Williams]

It seems more like a Fox Kids promo from like 1998 or so than the CN of old.

That said I think it's pretty cool.

[Raidon Makoto]

Ohhoho, Action is the soul now? As far as I'm concerned, Cartoon Network lacks a soul now. Why wasn't action the soul when it actually had a soul, when we had Toonami? This just pisses me off on so many levels. To me, this is CN killing Toonami and dancing on its grave.

I'll get my coat.

I'll get my coat.Okay, we get it. Toonami was the greatest action block ever (which it was). But now it's gone. At least Jetstream is still around. :shrug: The block may not be around anymore, but the torch has kinda been passed to a new block...

Oh, boohoo, Toonami has been gone for like 4 months now and it was very stale when it left, CN is now getting things in order and if Toonami does not fit then so be it. It's time to move on now. Period.

[Mugsy]

Okay, we get it. Toonami was the greatest action block ever (which it was). But now it's gone. At least Jetstream is still around. :shrug: The block may not be around anymore, but the torch has kinda been passed to a new block...



Torch has been passed and YAH is the new king of the block, literally. But it's time to stop complaining about Toonami, I'm going to leave this topic alone now.....

[warnerbroman]

Torch has been passed and YAH is the new king of the block, literally. But it's time to stop complaining about Toonami, I'm going to leave this topic alone now..... the torch has been passed but is not running so fast and may drop it

If CN combined the two it would be platinum

[Mugsy]

the torch has been passed but is not running so fast and may drop it

If CN combined the two it would be platinum

Rating wise it's doing very well, even has the biggest premier in CN history. Not only that but ratings are remaining very good, better than expected me thinks.....

The King and Tom kicking butt together would rock though..... :)

Except for you know that one week when only Clone Wars got above a 3.0 in the ratings with boys 9-14.

Really YAH is doing fine but besides it's premiere it's not doing as well as you might expect from a block with brand new Star Wars material and new episodes of Alien Force which got very good ratings this past year.

But YAH and Toonami could have co-existed so that's a moot point and Toonami's broadcast prescense has been gone since September, it's time to let it go.

[chdr]

At least CN is learning about synergy. Before, comedy and action were a jumbled mess that were segregated completely. CN is starting to cross-promote their blocks and premieres and keeping things stabler than 2007.

I totally see this as well, it's as if late 2008 into 2009 CN has been cleaning things up and fixing little problems that have been hindering them as of the past couple years. I'm excited to see what's next on CN's plate....

[J!!!]

I like when the singer mimics the har har tharsday laugh.

[Mini Garbonzo]

Alrighty then, remember next time to type all of the words in your sentences, people really it when that.

It was more of a joke really, sorry if it offended anyone.

I got the joke, I wonder of the person who did the original misspelling got it??

[Sanosuke]

Alrighty then, remember next time to type all of the words in your sentences, people really it when that.Just to let you know, you had me lolin' just now. "People really hate when that happens" is something along the lines of what you meant, right?

Note: I had to fight off an urge not to purposely leave words out of this sentence.

[J!!!]

I got the joke, I wonder of the person who did the original misspelling got it??
He got it .....after Mini explained himself:pgood thing he did cause I was going to say he was mocking me.

[Jayngfet]

I agree with rust, action as the soul after canceling their longest running action block with an actual dedicated fandom seems weird. Yes I'm still sore about this, no I won't stop anytime soon. Logically making a whole new block(two even) seems much more expensive than revamping an old one. Hell, you could even leave it nearly or completely unaltered due to no mention of days.

[creativerealms]

toonami was pretty souless itself at the end you know. no wait you don't agree, never mind.

They are NOT dancing on toonami's grave, ok. Stop acting like everything Cartoon network does is to Spite Toonami, your starting to look like a fool.

Theres no problem with missing Toonami i will miss it forever but we have to move on. What we have may not be as good as toonami's prime was but it's not bad at all.

It's one thing to miss something and it's another thing to continue to whine about it being gone. Remember Toonami and fondly, just don't drag yourself down because of it.

[Mugsy]

Lets please not turn this thread into a Toonami cryfest, It's a promo thread, not a crying thread. I liked Toonami a lot too but jeez I mean come on ....

I have a few more promo things things on my mind that tie into YAH and HHT....

I see something big happening with Monday nights, I don't know what....but something I heard from someone who knows someone who knows someone that is married to someone who worked for CN, nothing officia of course.

[D Dubbs]

Heh...I actually liked the "Fall is Just Something that Grownups Invented" song more. Though, the "CN This" video definitely represents the network better.

On a lighter note I have turned the "Are you CN this" song into a ring tone.... ;)

Jeez, let's just stick to the POST TOPIC, if you want to talk Toonami please go do it on the Toonami boards, thanks....

I hope we get more promos like the "CN this" one, CN seems keen on promos lately so I'd love to see what they got in store!!!

I see something big happening with Monday nights, I don't know what....but something I heard from someone who knows someone who knows someone that is married to someone who worked for CN, nothing officia of course.

I'm aware that Monday nights was Jetix's premiere night; but I have no idea if it will be Disney XD's. If so, that will be their Monday night competition.

[Jayngfet]

To continue, where was this soul stuff pre YAH? Trust me, this has to have been planned. Jetstream only kiba, time cut no adverts at all to say no adverts and general action getting the shaft only for it to be the "soul" after, while HHT got adverts in every second commercial and in every comic book at the time...

[Mugsy]

I don't know of it's true and NOTHING is confirmed but I heard through a friend, or really a work aquataince who knows a bunch of people who knows a bunch of people who knows a guy who is like married to a woman who supposavly works high up in CN and lives in Baltamore. This work aquaintence told me that Monday nights were going to be dedicated to anime come before summer of 2009, but the source isn't credible and this person could just be pulling it out of thin air for all I know. Of course I'm not really going to hold my breath or anything.

CN is based in Atlanta, as such, that has to be garbage. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Adult Swim tried to compete with Ani-Mondays.

That would be cool, place anime on adult swim on Mondays at 10, a whole hour earlier to gain the attention of anime fans and then air a popular anime at 11 to combat AnimMondays. CN couldn't lose!

[warnerbroman]

[Mugsy]

Anime will probably never be as plentyfull as it once was on CN, unfortunatly, I don't think CN has anything against anime, I think it's just that animation is moving in a new direction in the US....

Let's take a look at anime on CN as it stands....

Saturday nights from 1-6 on the AS block.
Saturday mornings with Bakugan and Pokemon.
Sometimes on the Action Flicks block.
Naruto sometimes after the Action Flicks block.

So we get a little, but not a lot....

[Sketch]

Well that rumor sounds fishy... but I'm all for them using Monday or perhaps Tuesday to air more action premieres and perhaps the Viz and Warner deal will have something to do with that...

CN bragging about shows they didn't make is nothing new... though I would think they'd give more love to 6Teen since it does air on Thursday as well.

[Mickialla]

I think it's pointless having "themed days" Thursdays for comedy, Fridays for action, and Mondays for anime?? I don't like the idea, it makes me feel like the entire network is being segregated and that there's no unification. What I want is to have a Friday night block dedicated to originals, action and comedy, and then a Saturday night (or weekday afternoon) block dedicated to all other action, including American animation and anime, and maybe some reruns of original action.

[Mickialla]

That's essentially what we have now, only the blocks are moved up a day (I don't count AF and the Flicks as a block, mainly because they are just movies with different packaging).

It's not quite what we have now. The originals are separated on different block. Chowder and Flapjack are on one day while Alien Force and TSS are on another. Meanwhile we have three different blocks for action (YAH, DAS, and AF) and Naruto is just floating around nowhere with unadvertised new episodes. Now, I can imagine having a SatAM action block and a SatPM action block for action aimed at younger kids and then action for older kids, but having three blocks, one of which is basically a full out repeat of another one, isn't very organized IMO.

[Racattack!Force]

Meanwhile we have three different blocks for action (YAH, DAS, and AF) and Naruto is just floating around nowhere with unadvertised new episodes.Can Action Flicks truly count as a block? It's just an action movie with special bumpers.

If The Flicks is considered a block than so should AF.

So, Toonami was canceled to unify the network, and they're segregating it instead?

*Facepalm*

I agree, Action Flicks should/could be considered a block....

[Mickialla]

*Facepalm*

Ironic, no?

Actually, there are a number of reasons why Toonami was cancelled, but yes, unifying the network was one of them.

[Racattack!Force]

...But all kids network are segregated. If they were to be TRULY unified, then there would be no block at all. I don't see how separating action and comedy is worse than separating originals and acquisitions. :sweat:

[Mugsy]

Blocks are needed to build personality to the networknaside for the normal fare and to attract people to the shows on it. I know people who love Chowder and TDI and would have never gave them a shot if not for the shows being packaged in a "comedy" style themed block.....

I think themed blocks attract certain fans...

[Mickialla]

...But all kids network are segregated. If they were to be TRULY unified, then there would be no block at all. I don't see how separating action and comedy is worse than separating originals and acquisitions. :sweat:

I know that it's still pretty much segregated, but I feel that it's not AS segregated. Like back in the days of CCF and Toonami, they didn't have promos going "We have 2 major parts! Originals are the soul and acquisitions are the heart!" Saying that there are two parts to the network pretty much means that the the two "parts" are being divided.

[Racattack!Force]

One can't truly function without the other. Like you need a heart and a soul to actually live a REAL life, CN needs comedy and action to get by as a network. It is as true now as it was then...

[Mickialla]

I suppose this debate isn't going to go anywhere. :sweat: I just feel that blocks back then weren't as segregated and still kept the network unified more than it is now. I understand what you mean when you say the network would still be segregated, only different things would be segregated from each other. Like right now, action and comedy are separated, while back then, originals and acquisitions were separated. I suppose it feels more separated now because I get a taste of one genre one day, but not a taste of the other genre. On Thursday I get comedy but no action, and on Friday I get action but no comedy. When CCF was around, it was still original-exclusive, but we got both action and comedy, so it didn't feel separated.

[warnerbroman]

Ironic, no?

you just answered your own question:p

[Jayngfet]

*Facepalm*

Preachin to the choir man, preachin to the choir.

And it was never truly unified, even unadvertised and unloved, an existing Dynamite action squad destroys that idea.

[TheKingofCN]

THIS PROMO IS AWESOME!!!!!

I love whenever it airs, and I can get a feeling for when they are going to air it because usualy there will be at least 5-8 minutes left after the ending credits of a show until the next one airs, but I can watch it on YT anytime I want as well. I love the song and I love the use of The King walking all pimpish, very nice touch. I can see CN doing more fun promo's like this in the future, its a great way to build excitement for the blocks in which its boasting, and since they have done the rap theme maybe they should try a rock theme next?

[TheKingofCN]

Preachin to the choir man, preachin to the choir.

And it was never truly unified, even unadvertised and unloved, an existing Dynamite action squad destroys that idea.

It was to the best of my understanding that Toonami was not doing very well toward the end and they had lost a bunch of shows and were running mainly repeats anyhow, I guess it was time to pull the plug when the ratings dipped. I felt sad because I didn't even know the final broadcast was sept 20th, I had plans and missed it and the next week they aired a Batman movie in it's place and caught me by suprise. Then I did some research and found out the news.

Anyhow, it went from everyday to once a week and usualy thats a bad sign and frankly I am glad its gone, that way it doesent have to suffer. May it rest in peace, but the time for me to move on has come and gone and now Toonami is a distant memory.

Farewell Tom.

Anyway, if Dynamite got a "Nood" makeover then it would definatly help to unify the network under the "Nood" banner.

[warnerbroman]

it seem to be the opening now

[Mickialla]

I saw an altered version of the video that said "Thursdays is the heart, and Fridays is the soul" instead of "Comedy's the heart, and action is the soul". Why do you think they'd do that?

[Racattack!Force]

I saw an altered version of the video that said "Thursdays is the heart, and Fridays is the soul" instead of "Comedy's the heart, and action is the soul". Why do you think they'd do that?That's one of the shorter versions of the song. As for why they would do that...it's basically the same thing, since Thursdays are their comedy nights and Fridays their action nights.

Short version for the opening of CN?The music video isn't the CN opening.

[DarthGonzo]

So I finally caught this today. In fact, it's on right now. And it just keeps going on and on and on...

I personally don't think it's very good. Smacks of effort. But that's just me.

The music video isn't the CN opening.they play it every morning it might as well be

The tune is kinda catchy, but I agree that the music video isn't anything special. I mainly dislike the fact that they completely don't acknowledge the other 5 days of the week and the fact that they come right out and separate comedy and action. Most will probably disagree with me, but it's just my opinion.

I saw this music video for the first time while watching Chowder with a friend and I thought it was cool that they would go ahead and create something like this. I was really weary of Cartoon Network (CN) for a number of years and now I couldn't be more happier with the product and little bells and whistles like this add for the delicious little dish that CN has become. I dont think they should overload us with goodies like this, then they will become less special but now that they have got the berries to make cool stuff like this they are proving that they can run a network smoothly, something I felt they couldn't do at one point. I am a big fan of Thursday and Friday nights on CN and I will say this, I am "CN" a big change in the network and I am feeling gittiy for what the road ahead has to offer.

[Kids WB! RuleZ]

They have been playing this promo a lot lately on CN, it is one of my favorite promo's ever and the song is catchy.

"One has lots of action, and the other lots of HAR!!" LOL....

I dont see it as a promo, more like a music video.

[Taco Wiz]

This song annoys me to death.

[TheTerror]

Well I guess the video isn't for everyone, but It's cool that CN is at least thinking outside the box with this kind of stuff. Someone mentioned that they are only pumping up the Thursday and Friday lineups in this video and that it didn't make sense to them, but if those two days are doing very good for CN then they should pump promotion into it and keep the train coasting, after all it was a video to brag about how good those lineups are and that they are the channel to watch. Maybe on their next video they will pump up Crushzone, Adult Swim and Action Flicks with another catchy song for our earbuds to dance to?

[TheTerror]

Just thought I would mention that right before Bakugan they aired a slightly different version of this promo with a different voice singing it and they removed sections of the song for whatever reason, it was much different than the other slightly changed version I saw. Anyone else catch this?

[Cartoon1]

This song sucks. I thought that my ears were bleeding after finishing this.

Part of the song was removed because it was the 60-second version. The full song is about two minutes long. The singer is the same for all versions, though.

If it was the same voice singing it then it was recorded again because it sounded completely different to me, it didn't sound like the same guy at all. I knew it was a shorter version than the original, but it's the voice thats throwing me off.

[Yusuke Urameshi]

This song annoys me to death.


Me too, I can stop but laugh at that thing they call "musical" ability.



"Are you CN this?"

Yeh im seeing it, and I cant believe it..

Why waste the money on something this crappy. :sad:

The only real excuse they even have going for them with this promo was that it was at the start of a brand new block.

Hopefully later down the line when things like new shows are added or changed we can get some better promo's.

They won't have too when TDA comes they can say
There is one more show that tops of the night we call it TDA and like the original we hope for it to become a hit
Like a beach party everybody is going to be loving it.

(cause it will be summer when TDA comes out)

Thaty'll make things A lot better

I don't know, maybe it's because that's your opinion and your opinion doesn't make the entire the entire ad campaign a failure.

[Cartoon1]

:shrug: know it all

Can't you stand peoples opinions? Apparently not as a matter of fact.

[TheTerror]

Well I liked it, I thought it was smart and innovative and shows that CN is all about these two major blocks and are behind them 100%. But as always, to each their own.

[DarthGonzo]

I'm glad people seem to hate this as much as I do. If I'm watching something on CN and this promo comes on the channel gets changed. Period.

[John Dorian]

Yeah, it was nice once, but it's pure torture to see it almost every time a show ends. The video itself gets lamer every time I see it.


And it isn't right to brag about your biggest hits all the time, CN.

And it isn't right to brag about your biggest hits all the time, CN.Considering how CN's ratings were in free-fall the last couple years, I think they deserve a little time to celebrate their newfound success.

It's like a sports team celebrating about a championship or something to that effect, it's fine. I dont look at it as so much bragging but more like promoting.

How about watching this in the movie theater? Cause the first time I saw it was when I went to see "Bed Time Story" with my brother. I just liked how my brother did question a few things in the ad. Well it is understandable for the ad to be shown during a family movie, since CN is more of a family/kids network.

[Mickialla]

Especially when they still can't touch Spongebob. Curse that Sponge.

[Mesousa]

I don't mind CN bragging.

Because it's true. :D

[Candice Suzana]

How about watching this in the movie theater?

I'd probably walk out until the movie started. Anyway, I don't enjoy the commercial at all but everytime it comes on, I ignore it. Sometimes though, I mute it so I don't have to try to block it out.
