I am Weasel

Show Summary

I Am Weasel follows the miss-adventures of Weasel, a genius who succeeds in everything he does, and his sometimes partner, sometimes enemy, I.R. Baboon. Clearly not as smart as Weasel, using a unique speech pattern, Baboon is the loser on the show, rarely, if ever, succeeding in anything. The show wouldn't be complete without the Red Guy, who has joined the cast in the second season, and who originally was on the Cow and Chicken show. I Am Weasel was originally only the middle segment on the Cow and Chicken show, both created by David Fiess. Soon enough, Weasel received his own show, and lasted for five seasons. Using a clever combination of slapstick humor and irony at the same time, making the show appealing to adults and young children.moreless

  • Love That Weasel.

    I first watched this show 15 ago, but I wasn't crazy about it until 2011. Actually, the last time I've watched it was 1999, until my folks moved to another town in Texas. Now in Louisiana, when I've watched it on Boomerang, I fell in love with him. He's totally handsome, his voice moves me, he's very smart, and the best part, he has extreme passions toward women. As of now, I hate this generation. Cartoon Network Online ticked me off. They've done away with that show. I wish I created the show or bought rights to it. If I did buy rights to this show, I would give it more action, comedy, romance, drama, adventure, and musical, I'd cut back with the butt shots. I'd give the Red Guy the ax and replace him with a decent villain, and importantly, I'd allow Weasel to stick with one girlfriend. Unfortunately, that may never happen (Heck I wish it did).moreless

    I expected that this show would still be funny and stuff when I watched it again. But it wasn't that funny. It was jsut weird to watch again. Now, first of all, let me just say that I do now think that this show is not as good as it used to be, it's just my opinion.



    So, this show is a spin-off on the old Cartoon Network show Cow and Chicken, which I probably found much more enjoyable than this show as a kid. Probably never loved both shows but I remember watching them. But anyways, I went into a store in like late 2011 and saw a DVD for I Am Weasel and I just thought, "Oh, my god, that show was so funny when I was a kid." And then some time later, I felt I had to buy it so I went back to the shop and bought. My brother just thought, "I can't believe you actually bought that." And I just said, "It was a good show back then. Gotta relive your childhood. But when I got home and watched it, I just thought, "What the heck? This ain't even that good." I just spent 25-ish dollars on it.



    Anyways, now to talk about the show. Start with characters. I.M. Weasel is the main character, an intelligent weasel, voiced by Michael Dorn from Star Trek, and his sidekick, I.R. Baboon, who is dumb as hell, and not really in the funny way, voiced by Charlie Adler. I like idiot characters such as Peter Griffin from Family Guy, Homer Simpson from The Simpsons, Patrick from SpongeBob SquarePants, and a couple more characters. But I.R. Baboon was just so annoying. He screws everything up. And then you have the Red Guy, who was okay at times but a bit annoying at other times, also voiced by Charlie Adler. And then you just have a bunch of other characters every now and then.



    Moving onto acting. The acting was decent, everyone had good voices. Weasel's voice was perfect for him. My brother says he sounds like an old man. Really? Baboon... is just annoying. He talks too loud and says annoying things. Red Guy's voicing was perfect. But then everyone else just sounds loud and annoying.



    Moving onto dialogue. I'm not really sure what to say for the dialogue I guess that it was just decent enough.



    Moving onto artwork, animation and designs. The artwork is okay, but it's those simple looking cartoon backgrounds, like you paint a building and you have a building, just a rectangle with a couple of windows and a door. I'm not actually sure if this show did that, but I can't remember. I want to see detail in backgrounds and buildings, like in CatDog. CatDog had good backgrounds because the buildings and that had good details put in them. Just glad this ain't one of those cartoons that have drawn backgrounds which I've never really liked, unless it's Simpsons or Family Guy or all those other animated sitcoms. I'm not trying to criticize the backgrounds, that's just kind of how I think of them. The animation is decent, though, good for a 90s cartoon. It flows nicely, characters move perfectly. Some of the character designs I found ugly, such as the human characters. Weasel and Baboon had decent designs, mainly Weasel. Red Guy, I guess okay.



    Music. The opening is a parody on the "Pop Goes the Weasel" song. I always found the opening hilarious as a kid, but after I heard it so many times when I watched the show again, it got kind of boring. I kind of found it weird why they would play the opening music, sort of, part of it, for the titles cards. I wanna hear different music. Most of the music throughout the show is cartoony music which I've never really like to hear in cartoons. I prefer if a cartoon has a selection of music, like for example, Camp Lazlo has country-styled music, same with CatDog.



    The plots for each episode were pretty weird. I mean, one episode, they're vikings, and then another episode, they're authors, and then another episode, they're bees. I mean, where are they going with that? No offence. That just makes a weird plot. That's just basically making a sketch or something. I wanna see a cartoon where the characters are known for being one thing, not like a series of different things like they have that personality disorder. No offence. Also, by "one thing", basically they're not different things in each episode, because that gets really annoying. I guess that's just the formula they used for this show. There's also episodes where they parody popular culture, such as Cinderella or Frankenstein.



    I also found the show pretty disturbing, I mean, there's a lot of, like what someone said, a lot of butt shots, every now and then, especially with Red Guy. The show might have been trying to use potty humour, but I'm not sure. I just remember that there were a lot of butt shots. It's not only with Red Guy but it's also with Baboon as well. I don't wanna see characters flonking their butt onscreen all the time. That gets pretty annoying and disturbing. It's just like with My Gym partner's a Monkey, with Jake flonking his butt all over the screen.



    Now, I do not like to look back on something from the olden days and say that is is bad now, like, let's take Top Cat for example. I watched that show as a kid, don't know if I particularly liked the show but in 2010, I watched it again on YouTube and I still think it is a great cartoon. I'm not gonna bash anyone who still thinks that I Am Weasel is a classic, because I do consider this show a classic and that it should still be loved by many people. I mean, look at most cartoons nowadays. They're all going bad. And then you look back at old cartoons from the 1990s and you just think that they're amazing, because cartoons back then were good.



    So, overall, if you would like to rewatch this classic, do so. You may love it or you may not think it is a great cartoon anymore. I do not particularly think this show is as great of a show as it used to be, but if you still think that this show is genius, then I respect your opinion. If you always hated this show and never liked it and don't care for it, I respect your opinion.



    I may delete this review in the future, I dunno.moreless

    Just like cow and chicken, this show is also boring and funny. Plus baboon is an unlikeable character. He doesn't do anything other than screw things up for weasel who is the only goood character. Also, when he makes mistakes he doesn't try to fix them, HE JUST MAKES IT WORSE. Baboon is dumb for the sake of being dumb and that's not how it's done. This is another show that made cartoon cartoon fridays bad. I guess David Fiess was to lazy to put any efffort into this show.moreless

  • I hated this show.

    Done by the same people who did Cow and Chicken, I counted the days.... for its cancelation. I hated this show almost as much as I hated Cow and Chicken. It annoyed and disgusted me to death. I was so thankful to see it gone. Baboon was so disgusting and annoying I feel like vomiting just thinking about it right now, and it also had the red guy, who I've never liked... I just hated everything about it.moreless
