Top 10 Most Iconic Episodes of Courage the Cowardly Dog
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- Courage the Cowardly Dog is a classic show that, in my opinion, completely embodies the nostalgic feeling of late '90s-early 2000s Cartoon Network. Drawing inspiration from a large collection of various popular horror media, Courage is one of the first cartoons I remember watching that incorporated a spooky twist on the modern children's cartoon.
Having originally ran from November 1999-November 2002, Courage the Cowardly Dog remains (in my opinion) one of the best cartoons to air on Cartoon Network to date.
Today, we take a look at the top ten most iconic episodes of Courage the Cowardly Dog.

This video was so good. I listen to all of it without even knowing it!
Thank you SO MUCH! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I loved the show when I was little and I still do as an adult
I liked it to
@@DuskTillShawntyyyyyyyyuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuyyuy

I’ll never forget the gag of when courage says “The things I do for love.”
I feel bad for the next sucker who steals the slab; he'll have to deal with Eustace's ghost.
"Return the slab or I'm gettin' me mallet!"
“Return the slab you stupid dog!!”
Not me. I'd just kick him in the dishpan, hoo hoo hoo!
@@ToastyBrain That's it I'm gettin' me mallet
@@VegimorphtheMovieBoy I think I finally understand that joke now 🤣
A fun Easter egg in "A Night at the Kat's Motel" is the guest book has all of the creators of the episode as guests
That’s dumb … jk that’s so cool 🤣💞
“Return the Slab” never gets old my favorite episode!
I always remember saying that
My favorite from this episode is the second plague. Such a catchy tune.😂
🎼King Raaaaamses....
"What's your offer?!" Took me out when i watched it for the first time as an adult. Eustace was unhinged 😂
Man there are so many great episodes of this show. Two that come to mind personally are the "perfect" episode and The Mask. I feel like the perfect episode is iconic if just for that horrifying nightmare _thing_ Courage sees. And of course The Mask for covering something as intense as domestic violence.
That fetus thing in Courage's nightmare scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid!! Couldn't sleep xd
@@randomuser8660 id only seen that episode recently but tbh i found the way he just pops up without waning hilarious more than scary
My favorite part of perfect was the bathtub barracuda
This show would scare me a lot as a kid. But I’d try to keep watching, because I was worried for Courage and wanted to make sure he was okay. I hated how scary it was, but really liked Courage.
How old are you ??
@@_nct2825 lol why?
Haha yes that’s true! Same here! My brother that’s 6 years older than me used to love it though.
Courage the Cowardly Dog & Sam & Max Freelance Police are two shows I didn't care for as a kid, but watched because there was nothing better on in that time slot, that I grew to love as an adult.
I think the harvest moon episode deserved a spot in here. A lot of people I know who watched the show always remember that eerie episode with the CGI moon head with black-rimmed eyes.
Actually, that was a real head. I think it was the voice director or the casting director who played that part.
The Tower of Dr. Zalost may not be the most iconic, but it is my favorite episode hands down. So much symbolism and beauty, especially with the music and imagery.
The Katz episode is part of the reason for my arachnophobia.
He was in a few episodes but yeah the details on those gross spiders lol
Bro the way the spider was MOVING😱😫
At the time I was arachnophobic but they didn't bother me in the slightest. Nowadays I no longer have arachnophobia having cured myself entirely of it.
I think I already had that fear but I'm pretty sure that episode didn't help.
@@Twinklethefox9022 same
There are so many great episodes of this show.
If I had to pick a Top 10, it'd be these:
#1) The Mask
#2) Perfect
#3) Freaky Fred
#4) King Ramses' Curse
#5) The Demon In The Mattress
#6) The Great Fusilli
#7) Windmill Vandals
#8) Everyone Wants To Direct
#9) Heads Of Beef
#10) Revenge Of The Chicken From Outer Space
The Mask is my favorite too!
What about doc gerbil
The Mask is my top one!
"Last of the Starmakers" was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. To this day, still one of my favorites
Freaky Fred was hilarious and scary, all at once!
Definitely an episode that resonates as a kid
He was also very...naughty.
He was creepy as hell
Freaky Fred scared the shit outta me as a child 😅
He is a serial hair cutter.
They might not have been overly iconic, but Perfect episode always got to me, as well as the one with the space squids, and of course the episode where Muriel finds Courage as an abandoned puppy. The bit where she names him because he’s out in the alley all alone, proves that despite being cowardly, Courage very much lives up to his name.
My favorite episodes would have to be Muriel being three and a half years old and Fred being "Naughty". But despite the whole show, I love how Muriel shows her love for Courage and how she first got him.
The tornado episode is one of my favorites too. So good
I actually have a Freaky Fred Tattoo with Naughty lol
That one is for sure my favorite episode
Much respect.
“Kick him in the dishpan, hoo hoo hoo?” still cracks me up in my freaking 30s. 😂 My husband and I quote it all the time for no reason.
That beat that comes on everytime katz makes his presence is awesome 🤣🤣🤣...me and my cousin would make this sound everytime we heard it. Its funny how some cartoon characters have their own music 😆
I would definitely put the "Courage in the Big Stinkin City” episode on this list solely because of the scary violin girl part. One of the most iconic parts in the show.
Ya see that door? Do ya wanna know what's behind that door? You don't wanna know what's behind that door.
Courage the Cowardly is a beautiful horror masterpiece.
I can think of 4 episodes that definitely deserve a chance to be at the head of the conversation. The Mask, Magic Tree of Nowhere, Tower of Dr. Zalost, and Perfect all are highly worthy of being in the Top 5. Night of the Weremole and The House of Discontent are also great honorable mentions
Everything you said about King Ramses’ Curse is 100% accurate. I loved Courage so much growing up and wanted to watch every episode that came on. This one in particular scared the absolute crap out of me… I still watched it every time it came on, I just had to watch from behind the couch lol. It was my favourite episode because it scared me so much.
This was for kids lmao...
I remember being so so little and loving this show but being scared. All of the CN shows of this era were incredible and enthralling
The “Return the Slab” episode is my all time favorite because eustace spent the whole time trying to get money which made me laugh
And now we have a crossover with Scooby-Doo coming in September! I'm so excited!
It's here now and absolutely wonderful! 😍😁
For me it was alright. A good Scooby-Doo movie but it was kinda mediocre as a courage movie. They didn't really seem to know how to write him as well as they did Scooby and he's out of character some times.
100% King Ramses is for sure #1!
It's forever burned into my head lol
King ramses absolutely terrified me as a kid and the 3d effect on him made him even more terrifying
Return the slab, or suffer my curse! That line is so iconic because of how creepy and calm the delivery is along with the music. The record player curse is hilarious 😆 I wonder if there’s a full version of it!
THE MAN IN GAUZE! THE MAN IN GAUZE!
Yeah
Shirley was legit my favorite character in Courage. Besides Courage himself but she really got me into curses and things like that when i was a kid especially after the Episode Swindling Wind. However my favorite villain was Cajun Fox. Being from Louisiana myself he really struck home to me. This show holds so many memories and of a time i wish i could go back to.
I feel like Shirley inginted a furry fetish in others lil.
I don’t think this show would go over well if it came out today
Idk maybe. My kid likes it it's just scary enough to not bother.
I think it would bc like half or most of fnaf fanbase has kids in it
It’s really not that bad lol softies
@Leon A yeah I’m saying these dumb soccer moms and all these news stations that think anything slightly violent or scary will harm your kids
Part of the reason I got into horror was due to "Courage." Hands down my favorite still though is King Ramses (as is a lot of fans). I also love The Snowman Cometh.
Courage the cowardly dog is my best favorite show ever since I was younger.
Same
Last of the starmakers makes me happy and sad every time.
I absolutely love these deep dives. All of the old 90s/2000s cartoons give me anxiety but something about your tone and layout make them palatable and relaxing. I feel like I can enjoy the little things again. Thank you so much for these videos! I can’t wait for more reviews and “dark sides of” series! I really love cooking & cleaning so they’re enjoyable to listen to since they’re familiar so I don’t have to constantly check the screen. Really great stuff man!!
There are two episodes that in my opinion deserve a spot on the list. 'Perfect' and 'Rememberence of Courage Past'
Aren't they sister episodes?
@@Simipourfangirl yup
“The human habitrail” I’ll also always remember, mainly for that like strangely intense chase scene in the water which gave me intense anxiety as a child
I agree King Ramses is definitely the most frightening episodes and most iconic. I also really love the episode Courage in the Big Stinkin City. With the hilarious roach and the dreadful violin girl scared me a ton as a child lol
I think that both "chickens from space" episodes are top 5, i liked that he could tell a story with very few words in the first episode, funny how the first episode ever made is the most memorable to me.
I 1,000% agree with #1. You can't think of Courage without Ramases being the very first episode to pop in your head.
But one episode I wish people would talk about is the puppeteer one, "The Great Fusilli". The ending to that one where Courage's owners both become marionette puppets, that Courage has to operate, always made me feel uncomfortably sad and freaked out as a kid.
The places your mind goes with that ending are a real rabbit hole morbid-ness. Are they dead, and Courage is playing with corpses? Are they alive forever trapped in wooden puppet bodies? It's just plain creepy, and no one ever talks about it.
First off, THANK YOU! For not getting "It's Doc. Gerbil's World" stuck in my head, lol. I thought sure that episode would make this list. Second, I couldn't agree more with your #1 on #2 picks. My husband and I often reference Fred with the way he says "Naughty". And King Ramsey's"Return the Slab or suffer my curse" endeared this series to my whole family(Mom, Dad, me, and my brother) when it aired. Ustes and Mirriel reminded my parents of my dad's father and my mom's grandmother(both of whom passed away the same week of my junior year of high school) and this episode earned this series the nickname "The Selma and Clyde Show" in our home. My brother and I LOVED the "King Ramseys Demonic Arts" song riff in this episode and I couldn't help but notice how Ramsey's himself looked a lot like that one character in TV commercials during the Beatljuice cartoon. Great list!
i was always more afraid of the stitch sisters more than anything
Hey bro great video!
Courage the cowardly dog holds a very special place in my heart. It's what believe it or not provided me a sense of solace while I was going through foster care as a child. The show taught me that no matter what may fear us if we can dig deep down and find our courage than we can overcome any obstacle we may face in life.
One I always remember was the episode where Muriel decides to stop talking and courage goes to Shirley the medium for help getting her to speak again. So, the medium summons a giant monster to destroy their family and can only be stopped be the sound of Muriel’s voice.
My personal favorite episode is the Rose Tree. I always cry even as an adult when the tree is cut down...
That is a personal fave of mine too
Just discovered your channel I’m lovin it! My fav is Freaky Fred and the creepy music accompanying Fred was just the best.
thanks for making these style videos ! feels good to go back in time yahmean
i loved Courage The Cowardly Dog so much that when it ended, i got incredibly upset. as truly great Cartoons arent born every day.
King Ramses' Curse is THE courage the cowardly dog episode I always remember. All these years and I occasionally remember the phrase "return the slab" though tbh I remember it sounding more menacing, it was one of those episodes that somewhat disturbed me as a kid...
I remember that phrase too
The Katz Motel episode caused my arachnophobia when I was three years old, I got over my fear a bit when I was seventeen but I can still be wary of spiders. Very creepy episode but not the scariest, King Ramsey on the other hand gave me nightmares.
Love this show so much so happy that they are bringing it back soon
I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought it was dark at times. Nice job, I appreciate your angle and I liked the Katz episode also (yeah, got Bates' Motel vibes myself).
One of my favourite episodes was the space squid. The one that turns to flowers at the end.
That made me cry
The music in that episode is truly beautiful it’s easily a top tier episode
Love this video man. Katz has always been one of my favorite characters.
amazing work!! My new favorite CZcamsr!! Keep up the good work❤️❤️
Not going to lie *this* video just earned you a new subscriber this list is *SPOT ON* really entertaining
Oh my goodness Great List of Episode Moments
The fact that someone made A game based on king ramses curse makes it that more iconic and why it's true that it deserves to be number 1
This show was really great. Great video.
Thanks man!
Well made list guy, I don't know if I could've done it. I was hoping to see the Bunny and Kitty episode and the one with the space squid, but it's your list and King Ramsey is easily the antagonist we think of when this show comes to mind.
The Clutching Foot episode was my mom's favorite. Back in the very early 2000s I was raising my nephew and Courage was one of his favorite shows. I think we watched every single episode and this episode was my mom's favorite. My personal favorite was the Ramses episode...return the slab!
Two episodes come to mind personally, "Perfect", and then the episode where there's a bunny who is in an abusive relationship with her dog boyfriend, and her cat bestfriend is trying to save her, and then at the end they run off together on a train, very obviously lesbians and being MUCH happier together. I don't remember it's name, but I remember the episode in general
That episode about abusive relationships is called The Mask
Yep it’s the mask
Just found your channel. Courage the Cowardly Dog was among my favorite cartoons as a kid.
yo man i really love your videos man! i just love that you discuss the whole episodes! and its fucking awesome! please keep em coming brotha!
Great video, loved the series as a kid and what about the episode Perfect..that one always freaked me out with the dreams.
My all time favorite will always be "the shadow of courage" great video!
I love Courage. I grew up watching this show. The episodes that are most iconic for me are the Demon in the Mattress and The Mask. I love both of these episodes and the stories in the episodes were great.
That mattress makes a cameo in the new crossover movie with Scooby-Doo, officially titled Straight Outta Nowhere...☺️😁
The puddle episode is my most memorable one.
After just discovering your channel like 2 weeks ago, mostly of your later videos, I am now newly subscribed and starting to binge your channel from the start. I LOVE doing this when discovering a new channel (more so when they're relatively newer as they have less videos lol). I'm excited to see this from the start! See you later in a couple of days. lol
I also felt the same way with the King Ramses one feeling so long despite being just 11 minutes long. This mentioned episode and the Windmill Horsemen were the longest for me because they were so terrifying I kept waiting when would they finally stop.
Id say those are pretty iconoc, BTW I Love your videos and id love to see more
My top 10:1.Courage's enemies against him in dodgeball,2.Freaky Fred,3.Randy The Robot,4.The Magical Tree Of Nowhere,5.The Dragon Who Couldn't Fly,6.Le Quack as a psychiatrist,7.Were-Mole,8.The Valkyries And The Trolls,9.Cajun Fox,10.Revenge Of The Chicken From Outer Space.
Keep up the great work, Shawn
King Ramsey's curse is also the first one that comes to my mind first to. It's my number 1 favorite episode. Then it's freaky Fred takes 2nd place.
The most disturbing one is The Great Fuselli especially the end where Courage plays with the dead bodies of Muriel and Eustace to make it feel they are still alive.
Before I watch, here are quotes from the episodes I remember most (since I remember quotes more than show titles)
10) Where's your hat? Little boy needs his hat.
9) It's Doc Gerbil's World!
8) NAAAUGHTY
7) ...or the fat lady gets it!
6) We're duck brothers. We don't lay eggs!
5) Where's me mallet!
4) (Creepy mermaid lady beckoning Eustice to his death.)
3) You see these bones? You wanna know what made these bones? You don't wanna know what made these bones.
2) How... Now... Brown... Cow...
1) RETUUURN THE SLAAAAB!!!
amazing video, the only episodes i think may have deserved a spot that werent on the list was the episode With Bunny and Kitty and the last episode.
I never thought someone would describe Courage the Cowardly Dog as ‘Funny’ or any word that wasn’t terrifying.
well it had it's terrifying moments to be sure, but it was also quite funny, whether it be when he's trying to warn his owners, laugh at his agony or trying to "Ask Jarvis" when he needs info.
Essentially this is a comedy series. The show was often packed full of comedy: slapstick and pratfalls, the sarcastic computer, Eustace's incredible greed, etc. It *had* to have humor to soften all the frightful creatures and situations. You could not have had the Courage show with just monsters and evil beings; parents would not stand for it.
@@UltimateGamerCC Oh my god, I forgot about Jarvis
I loved courage as a kid and still do.
I honestly expected perfect or the slab to be on this list since everyone says one of those 2 episodes caused them nightmares. As a kid, they didn't scare me but one episode that did was night of the weremole. That creature scared me so much and I had nightmares about it grabbing me through the bed and then dragging me down and tearing me to shreds. I re-watched that episode and I noticed I missed all of the jokes there. Like the wack-a-mole part. Or when the doctor tells murel that there's nothing to worry about when her hand is massive. I'm still kinda scared of it as an adult but. This episode will still be remembered by me along with the space squids and the one with the man eating vegetables.
Scariest, iconic episodes to me in no particular order:
Night of the Weremole- Weremole Muriel chase was suspenseful
Head of Beef- the man-eater implications
The Demon in the Mattress- all round scare to scare
King Ramses Curse- King Ramses had me genuinely tucked in blanket terrified
Courage in the Big Stinkin' City- the screaming crazy girl scared the shit out of me
The Revenge of Chicken from Outer Space- headless chickens head-popping slideshow made me go YI-IKES and headless Eustace gave me unexpected scare at the end
Car Broke, Phone Yes- another alien episode with scary overtones
Hot-head- Eustace exploding frustration had me in suspense
Wow I was literally about to write a Dan Schneider joke after the foot licking thing. How dare you 😂
You are a genius- or maybe I think this because we think alike. Lol! I watched Courage with my granddaughter every weekend when she was 8. She absolutely loved the mix of horror and snark.(She's absurdly intellegent and as an only child, not really childlike in the typical way.) Your list is perfection. I love "The Gods Must Be Goosey," "Queen of the Black Puddle," "King Ramses Curse," "Remembrance of Courage Past," and "A Night at the Katz Motel." These are just a few of my favorite episodes as well as your list. I think I might have duplicated a couple, I'm sorry if I did ☺️
Awesome list man some really good ones. But you didnt include my favourite The Hunchback of Nowhere, And another criminally underrated Courage episode is Windmill Vandals that episode scared the piss out of me.
I enjoyed your list
Love courage the cowardly dog
Same here! It's such a great show. :)
I was born in 2001 when I saw Courage the dog while I was growing up it will be awesome if they do reboot episodes
Great video
Cajun granny stew is literally my second favorite episode. It was a breath of fresh air from the regular episodes. Third. Little mureal
What’s your fave episode just curious
Freaky Fred will ALWAYS freak me out, that smile and voice...haunting😭🙆🏾♀️😭
It's the music for me lmao. Literally sends chills up my spine every time. So creepy.
@@ambored24 😭😭😭
@@geminiflame_ right. And I listen to tiptoe through the tulips for fun. But Fred is where I draw the line 😂
@@ambored24 omg I totally hear u, I sing that song freely too🤣But FRED?! Nah fam🙆🏾♀️
Awesome video dude!
My top ten:
10. Courage in the Big Stinkin' City
9. The Mask
8. Pilot episode
7. The one with the tornado
6. Doc Gerbil (can't remember the full title)
5. Perfect
4. The Clutching Foot
3. Demon in the Mattress
2. Freaky Fred
1. King Ramses' Curse
Watched the most recent Courage video now I'm binging all courage videos, they're so good aaaa
Same
Bit surprised Doc Gerbil or the Space Squids didn’t show up here!! Doc Gerbil’s song lives rent free in my brainx
love this
I can't wait for the day to show this masterpiece of a show to my future kids
Cousin Fred. #Naughty Gotta Be On My List For Sure! Can’t Forget King Ramses!! Of Course No. 1
A favorite moment was in "Courage in The Big Stinkin' City" (loooove that title) when Courage, while exploring the spooky red halls and stairwells, discovers the little girl in one of the apartments. Holy moly, that was awesome. Shades of Large Marge from "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure".
Another fine aspect of this series was the amazing color palette they used, and many of the background designs. Sublime and strange and memorable.
The list was perfect thank you. Talk about Eerie Indiana or are you afraid of the dark place
How can the episode about Doc Gerbil be skipped?...?...? That one was insane
I can’t believe you didn’t touch “It’s a gerbil’s world, it’s a gerbils world” hahaha
There were so many moments in this show that caused me to have to rewatch these things to be sure I actually just saw what I thought I saw. My favorite episode is when the zombie actor and director come out of the ground at the farm to shoot a movie. I think one of them is a play on Quinton Tarantino or something like that.
King Ramsea definitely is the most iconic it scared me as a kid as well im 24 now and I still remember it😭😭😭
It was pretty werid. It was how he was "3d"
Have you ever consider doing top 10 animated Netflix movies?
I haven't! That's an awesome idea! Anything in particular you would want to see included if I did make a video like that? :)
@@DuskTillShawn Klaus, Next Gen, Willobys, Argo the Aligator Boy and The Michelles Vs. The Machines (coming April 30th) would be nice.
@@TommyPezMaster what about The Willoughbys?
Heads of Beef is one of those episodes we see Eustence in a nice mood...also...i love the pig couple.
16:45 I'm glad that I'm not the only one to find that tea bit funny.
