Anyone know where I can go online to view a bunch of Cartoon Network ads (for free)? They have got to be the funniest 30 second snips around. I hate when I see one and then never see it again. Worse yet, when I try to explain it to a friend and they just stare at me. It’s not the same without the voices. The other night during Adult Swim there was an old Batman and Robin cartoon and they were swearing like sailors. “Holy sh_bleeeeeep_t, Batman!” “Yes, old chum, Solomon Grundy has really f_bleeep_ed us this time!” And I wanna see the Legion of Doom arguing for a decent pair of paaaaaaaants! And Boo-Boo Baba Dee-Dee! The only one I’ve found online was the PowerPuff Girls rescuing Wonder Woman and Aquaman from the LoD (“My abillity to talk to fish is of no use, Wonder Woman!” ":rolleyes: ") So what about it? Know where I might see them again? ---

Cartoon Network is only now starting to make the shorts available, and they’re still not all the way there yet. There are a few on [The Adult Swim official website](http://www.adultswim.com/clips/index.html) and more on [The Cartoon Network official website](http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/watch/video_clips/). ---

[http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/](http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/) I think almost every ad, promo, joke film, etc., is on this site. Look through every page 🙂 For instance, the short described above is under “Powerpuff Girl” and is described as “The Powerpuff Girls meet the Super Friends.” Happy Downloading! ---

Wow, I’m amazed at how much anime CN has shown without my knowledge; Evangelion, Record of Lodoss War, PatLabor, etc. I’ve wasted all this time at work when I could have been watching toons! ---

They have the “Born and Raised in Townsville” bit, right? And Daphne running away from Scrappy? 🙂 ---

Hmm… they have the Townsville bit, because it relates to Powerpuff girls, but it looks like shows that haven’t been on Toonami aren’t represented. Sorry about that, guess the site isn’t as complete as I thought. ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > There are a few on The Adult Swim official website and more on The Cartoon Network official website. Ooohh. They have the Jabberjaw lunchbox video. I love that one. I don’t see the Josie and Pussycats evolution video yet. Bummer… ---

Or in the movie theatre: “This calls for A TWENTY!!” Those spots are great. My favorite one is the pants one (“Solomon Grundy wants pants too!”), or the one where the professor gets brained and instead of birds flying around his head, it’s little Powerpuff Girls. ---

The airplane one was pretty good. “I wish I had a paperback book from the paperback book store!” Unfortunately, that’s the only line I remember, it’s probably not all together correct, and that ad had other great lines as well. ---

I’m still trying to find the Jabberjaw music video they made for CN groovies . . .
