Fingerboards are for cockroaches

Oggy and the Cockroaches is a French cartoon that sometimes airs on the Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network channel here in the US. It’s not very good from a writing/directing standpoint but it occasionally has a good gag. There’s an episode called “Skate Fever” from season 4 that features what may be the first ever appearance […]

It’s Adventure Time Again

Last nights episode Dark Purple was the second appearance of skateboarding in Adventure Time. It’s kind of interesting that both times it’s been Jake the Dog skating and not Finn the Human. This time Jake has safety equipment of a sort, it’s still made out of his own flesh. Cartoon Network must have caught some […]

Ben 10 Action Figure

At some point after I bought this Ben 10 action figure, opened it and left is sitting around the house, my kids decided the board needed to be colored in with a green marker. Fair enough I guess. I don’t think this show is on anymore, not even in reruns currently. Ben’s skateboard is actually […]

Get in the Pink Van

The Pink Panther skateboard van was one of three Pink Panther vans that came out in 1982. I don’t know who manufactured these, I just know they are too expensive fro my budget. Somewhere in my infamous basement is a plastic figure of the Pink Panther on a skateboard which I guess I haven’t posted […]

Seymour the Skateboard

Feed me (concrete) Seymour

When my kids were of a certain age, I watched a metric tonne of Yo Gabba Gabba, but somehow we missed this 2009 Story Time episode of Seymour the Skateboard, a little skateboard who didn’t know any tricks and had to go to skate school to learn them from an old school teacher. Seymour had […]

Woody Woodpecker Puzzle

Woody Woodpecker was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I especially liked the ones from the 40’s where Woody seemed a little insane, very similar to some portrayals of Daffy Duck from similar era. This 100 piece puzzle from Whitman, likely dates back to 1984, a time closer to a more homogenized Woody […]

Curious George: We Are The Wiener Dogs

Q: Are we not Dachshunds?

A: We Are The Wiener Dogs. The song “We Are The Wiener Dogs” from the Curious George cartoon series. Watch these guys “hot dog” it after the jump. (Ouch.) – Thanks to Concretins Nick for the tip.

Grin and Bear It.

One track mind

popeye

I yam what I yam

Popeye has been around since the late 20’s. I swear the soundtrack on some of those old animated cartoons are just 15 minutes of solid mumbling. Here are three appearances of Popeye on a skateboard, from present day back to 1979.
