The Channel Frederator Doggone List of Cool Cartoon Canines!
To Celebrate Dan Meth’s Dog Video Dating Episode, which features a wide variety of colorful cartoon canines, Channel Frederator thought it would be cool to honor and remember a few famous Cartoon Canine Icons that marked their territory and paved the way… for, uh, Dan’s hilarious… short.
These are in no order in any way.
Krypto was superman’s loyal, equally super and able to fly canine bud. Let’s hope no one ever gives him a kryptonite bone.
Ah, Brian Griffin. I love his name. Brian. So…. Name-ish.
I could chill with Brian and drink a few beers with him. He’s one of the good guys man. Funny too.
The Tramp was vagabond cool. Wherever the wind took him, and shagged up his fur, tossing fleas to the breeze.
Hobo Life man.
Dodger, from the film Oliver and Co. How cool was this dude? He wore sunglasses, had a cool hankerchief around his neck, and was voiced up by Billy Joel. Who is awesome. Piano Man rules. Basically this Disney film was a retelling of Oliver Twist, and dodger played the artful dodger. I’m still trying to figure out Cheech Marin’s role.
Hong Kong Phooey kicked Ass. He was also voiced up by Scatman Crothers. Which also kicks major ass. This cartoon whoops a lot of ass. I remember my parent’s bought me a cheap plastic Hong Kong Phooey watch at a Sheraton HOTEL when I was a wee Jeaux, and I wore that thing with pride. Wierd fact tying this all together: Scatman Crothers was featured in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, which also tok place in a HOTEL!!! Creepy.
Dynomutt was the coolest robot dog and best friend of the Blue Falcon. I’m waiting for Hollywood to take this, as they did Underdog, and run this cool cartoon bionic pup also.
I wonder if his poo is metallic.
Droopy is the man… er Dog. That sounded like Sean Connery’s “You’re the Man Now Dog!” in my head as I was typing that out. I love Droopy. In Particular when Tex Avery took over him at Mgm. Cool, hilarious stuff.
Snoopy is, and will always remain King of the Top Dogs. Hands Down. He’ll EFF you up in a dogfight. Watch out for him. He’s badass.
ScoobyDoo. Such a stoner dog. There must be some weird stuff in that weed, excuse me, Scooby Snack, cause it makes him extra paranoid and jumpy. His speech impediment annoys me, but he means well.
Astro! I RUV Him!!! He has a speece problem like scooby too, but his makes him more endearing to me for some reason. Oh, and he’s from the future. That gives him 10 more coolness points in my book.
I always wanted to own a gigantic, Fire-engine red colored Dog that could destroy cities with his huge paws, and leave destruction in it’s wake, along with some really humongous doodies. I don’t think Pet Smart sells pooper scoopers that huge.
One thing I don’t get about Pluto, is that… he’s an animal, much like his owner, who is a mouse, but he remains a dog.
Even the Chipmunks that bug him talk. What’s Pluto’s deal? Why can’t he be more like Goofy? Who i’ll get to later.
Santa’s Little Helper has been with the Simpson’s family for a long, long time… and he’s still THAT skinny. Doesn’t that dog get to eat around their household?
Making cash money off of ripping off the Beatles. Well, the design is great, and at least they weren’t the Monkees.
Tom Terrific is one of my favorite cartoons in the whole world. Gene Deitch and his designs are ultimate cool. I like Manfred, cause he not only has a terrific name, but he’s kinda big, dumb, and lumbering, in a gentle, friendly giant way.
One of my favorite stars in the Hanna Barbera universe. This blue furred, Southern Drawler was always laid back coolness.
Auggie Doggie (or his dad) wasn’t as cool as Huck. Sorry. They were nicely designed… but still not as cool as Huck.
I liked Mr. Peabody more than Bullwinkle and Rocky. So I was always happy whenever this came on afterwards.
If any thing, I think I liked it more because I love Anything that has to do with the art of time traveling.
Under dog was cool. Then Hollywood had to go and un-coolify him with that piece of crud film. That movie made me pissed off at Jason Lee. Why Jason Lee? Was it the $$$? Did someone put a gun to your face? Why did you do it man?
Ren was always pissed off. But that’s what made him such a great character. Well, that and John K’s voice acting work on him. Chihuahas are just inherently funny. I wonder how John K. feels about the Taco Bell dog stealing some of his thunder?
Tim Burton combined with spielberg and Brad Bird. Holy crap, was this an “Amazing Story”!!! HAR Har, Get it?
The animation was great, the character designs were sweet, and the dog, was, well… Funny.
I had one. He was Brown. I named him Brownie. But then was forced to change his name cause my parents thought it was a bit racist. How was I supposed to know? I was a kid. I meant no harm in that. After a while I began to resent Reginald, because it just wasn’t the same hanging out with him anymore.
This film does not get my respect. Whoever thought a canine version of Rodney Dangerfield would be a hilarious one, should be executed, by watching that film until it kills them… slowly.
This cartoon made me want to become “extreme” and go surfing and rollerblading, and parachuting all in one. EFF The Establishment kids. Be Rude Dudes.
I liked the design on this show. Almost all of Cartoon Networks big playas now got to work on this show at one point or another. It was funny… and stupid.
Oh man. I’m torn with this one. i love the concept. I don’t mind the design. It’s kinda funny…but at the same time i don’t really like it. I’m kinda more….Meh, about it. I heard from the animation grapevine that William Shatner came up with a very, very similar idea to this one. I bet his version would’ve been better. I kid, I kid.
Brilliant. Bravo Sir John R. Dilworth. This was good. If I ever meet you I’m gonna pat you on the back and shake your hand.
I’m pissed Odie wasn’t presented as his true self in those craptastic Garfield films. They couldn’t afford to make him CG like they did Garfield, and that’s a shame. Odie was always my favorite part about Garfield. Well, that and Lasagne.
My girlfriend laughs like Muttley. At least she doesn’t act like him. He’s an ass.
Brain. always busting Gadget outta jams. I had a huge crush on Penny, Gadget’s niece when I was little caus eshe had a cool pre-laptop computer disguised as a book. I think I just wanted to hang out with her, just to use her cool ass book. But Brain man, always watching gadget’s go go gadget back, that’s one loyal homeboy.
I didn’t know that QuickDraw McGraw had a dog until today. Wikipedia always teaches me something new each day. Thanks Wikipedia.
Goofy was retarded. How else can ou explain a dog, acting like it thought it was a human? Whereas Pluto plays it cool, Goofy just sucks at everything. But therein lies his incredible doofus charm. That’s what makes that stupid dog funny. I love you goofy, always have.
Porkchop had to endure watching Doug Funnie grow from being an awkward kid into becoming an awkward teenager. Poor dog. How awkward must that have been for the little guy? Very, I’m willing to bet.
I’m one of the proud (and sad) few who really enjoyed Scrappy Doo’s persaverance and Napoleon like Qualities. Plus his appearance in the CGI version of one of the Scooby Doo films was really a surprise for me. Why do people hate on him so much?
Jim Varney’s last speaking roles. RIP Ernest.
The poor dog can be gay if he wants to. That’s his choice. Leave him alone. It’s his life.
Rocko had a sweet australian doggy.
Zero is just too cute. And unfortunately can be seen emblazoned on the “Dark” hoodie sweatshirts and evil fanny packs of Gothic Teenagers all over the world. Can you believe they have Nitemare merchandise being sold at Hot topics across the country now, not to mention Everywhere inside of Disneyland? Back when I was a depressed, angst ridden teenage tortured artist type, I had to make my own Tshirts of Nitemare stuff. I’m glad I’m not goth anymore.
This game is the shiznit. I heart it.
I never really liked this dog. But he was well worth putting in this list. I just didn’t trust his face. I didn’t like the cut of his chin. Untrustful son of a b*tch. Wait I can say that right?
This guy was in Earthworm Jim, one of Doug TenNapel’s masterpeices. So he gets to be in this list.
My girlfriend loves this little pink furred, sunglass wearing dog for some ungodly reason. Girls, if any of you out there enjoyed this charcter, let us know why? I’m curious.
Apparently she hung out with a humanoid robot and they solved crimes. I have no idea if this was true or not, and it leaves me perplexed.
Mattel, why did you market this to us?!?!
This japanese dog character was heavily inspired by Felix the cat. He was a soldier, and a sailor too. Very cool design. I had a shirt wt this character on it, but it was lost in the void of darkness that was Calarts Laundry room. I miss that shirt.
Anyhow, check it out, he’s pretty cool.
Popeyes, weird dog creature. I love his design too.
That and he can only say the word “Jeep-Jeep”!!!
Have you got this far? Wow, you must be pretty bored!
Anyhow, thanks for reading, and if I forgot a few dogs, let me know which ones in the comment section! Thanks Gang! Have a great weekend!!!
I’m Out.
