Yup…one of these.

I have a super vague memory of an anthology series that I saw an episode of in the 90s, and I want to know if I’m crazy or not.

I can’t remember exactly when I saw it, but it was definitely before high school, so it was 90s. If I had to make a guess I’d say mid-to-late 90s. My best guess on a channel would be MTV. The only thing I remember about it is one of the scenes was a claymation man repeatedly poking an elevator button and saying “c’mon c’mon c’mon”. He did this 3 or 4 times, then the scene ended.

Despite the description, I can tell you the show was NOT Celebrity Death Match (MTV claymtion show) and it was NOT on Robot Chicken…but it was as if you married the two together.

This ring any bells for anyone?

I bet that’s it. I forgot how great Liquid Television was, it introduced Beavis and Butthead and Aeon Flux.

It’s from _Cartoon Sushi_, which is what _LT_ eventually morphed into. Late '90s. This is where _Celebrity Deathmatch_ first appeared, IIRC.

That has to be it! The Wiki has one of the shorts titled “c’mon c’mon” although I can’t find it on youtube anywhere…which is surprising.

Sadly, I can find every single episode of Cartoon Sushi online _except_ for the pilot episodes.

And I checked and no, it wasn’t ever featured in a Spike & Mike or _The Animation Show_.

I’ll find it, tho.

Viacom take down anything on youtube that they have legal claim too.
