How old are you youngin? The 90s was not a lawless Wasteland. Mommy and daddy could still whoop your ass if you did wrong. Can't do it no more, because of the DCFS has laws! Laws against teaching your children right from wrong just let them run wild. 2020 and so on.
Interesting find. The 'Smart Talk with Raisin' segment at 19:10 was an early animation of 'Courage the Cowardly Dog' creator John R. Dilworth. Even in this short sketch you can see motifs, themes, and character designs that would carry over into that later work. It's a testament to the uniqueness of his style that such a thing is instantly recognizable.
Anyone watching this because they want to relive the memories and not because some dude mentioned it in his videos? Not putting anyone down tbh. It's just pretty cool to see folks watching this again.
Bit of useless trivia- If you remember the Sega ads from this era, they always ended with a guy shouting "SEGA!". The guy who voiced that snippet, is the same guy who did Crazy Daisy Ed.
"Oh the humanity!" There really needs to be a definitive collection of the classic Liquid Television series available on Blu-ray, but due to the complex issue of creator's rights & such, the best we can do is enjoy these wonderful shorts wherever we can find them.
My dad used to tape Liquid Television for me so I could watch it on Saturday mornings mostly for Speed Racer. I remember watching these bizarre shorts as 6 year old, utterly perplexed but ultimately entertained cause it was cartoons.

in 7th grade i'd sleep over my friends house on the weekend so we could watch this together. We'd play video games all night and just stop to watch Liquid TV and head bangers ball. He's dead now. :(
Yes! My life! We would take turns staying at each other's houses and staying up late watching Cinemax skinflix, playing video games, watching cartoons, and eating sugar cereal on the weekends.

So mtv’s owners ALMOST did the right thing and made the YEARS of this series available on an ‘internet archive’ a few years ago. It’s terrible that the CREATORS aren’t here in the comments linking to their own channels and donation pages.
OMG!! LT !!! Thank you SO much! I completely forgot about it until now. Brings back a LOT of memories from my 20's. Now, at 54, I'd do almost anything to relive that decade. The last, fun decade, in my opinion

rosarito morales Well it was made by the same people who did Courage the Cowardly Dog. This cartoon was made like in between 91-93. The pilot for Courage was in '99 which was part of a series on CN called Cartoon Cartoons along with the pilots for Sheep in the Big City and Billy and Mandy.
Liquid Television was the culmination/ climax of all the creativity of artists which took centuries to build only to be later dissipated (and censored) into the internet age and meme culture
You're not kidding. At the time, I never would've guessed that pop-culture could end up becoming so bland. All we find in our media now are superhero movies and lifeless remakes of older original properties.
lol, if you think good weird shit like this doesn't exist any more, you're just not trying to find it. There's more creative bizarre shit available now than ever. Maybe not on network TV, but we're living in the golden age of insane art.
@@lawrencehan5591 There is quite a lot on youtube if you know where to look but with google soon deleting older channels that havent updated a lot of it is going to be lost
@@lawrencehan5591ever tried looking for stuff outside of tv, plenty of weird on CZcams even. And if you're looking for things that aren't allowed on strick old CZcams there's always other sites that host videos that may be more offensive or less acceptable to sites like this one and on tv.
Also the Nola and Raffi segment was always a favorite too. I loved the animation style and the story was so so cute. I miss this VHS tape. I probably have it somewhere still...
I love the quality of this show. Every short are so unique and entertaining. I love the talking flower, ppl living in a trailer, an African girl moves in the U.S. and a dog tries to pull their school teacher out of a hat.
dest151 well i would argue it was the last era of GOOD originality: I could make a show about cheese on the moon, it would be original, but it wouldn't be good...
The 90's wasn't great like people think, it may of been a time of good music and better shows, but that's only 10% of what it was. I lived through it, I can tell you if millennials went back to that time, they wouldn't be able to do shit without their social media. They wouldn't know what to do, it's the sad truth of how humanity has gone downhill.
L W *GOD DAMN , I MISS THE NINETIES . THE NINETIES HELD ALL FIVE OF THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE . 1995 - 1999 WERE MY BEST YEARS , AND NOW MY BEST YEARS ARE WAY BEHIND ME . EVERYTHING AFTER THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH DOWN HILL FOR ME.*

I want to say thank you very much for posting this cartoon is a blast from the past it’s my favorite I know every single one of them Word for Word and I appreciate this so much. there’s others that appreciate good humor it’s amazing
Liquid Television was excellent, Aeon Flux being one of the biggest to spin off. I think Friends of Maxx also. MTV also had other amazing shows, like The State. If this is your thing, you might like The Minute Hour. Pure, terrifying, psychotic, comedic gold.

The 90s were a lawless wasteland and I love it
It was insane indeed!@ wont happen again, unless the apocalypse occurs...
Bro they showed this around 6/6:30pm with nudity, only wish I was older when it aired to really get the humour
Megan Wheelock 20:41 you )

@@jamesoffutt2801 it was wrong for my parents to hit me in the 90s just how it's wrong for any parent to hit their kids now in 2020 ✌
THe one about the african girl was quality in all seriousness.
I used to stay up late when I was a kid while my dad was passed out on the couch drunk watching this. Good times.
That’s an authentic memory, bro. Thx for sharing 🍺
I hope your still alive!
Oh, how to grow up with an alcoholic father...🤣

I’m glad that this was pointe out because that’s how I found out about liquid tv
And holy shit, is that Cree Summer voicing Raisin?
@@0void0eyes0I think so, sure sounds like it could be.
Anyone watching this because they want to relive the memories and not because some dude mentioned it in his videos? Not putting anyone down tbh. It's just pretty cool to see folks watching this again.
Memories!
Some are a little tame to see now. But other shorts are still as weird as ever.
Pure memories here, buddy
memories and also finding some cool new stuff i missed when these first aired
Hellah memories
Totally looks like a 3am show
Yeee HAWW
IKR, but the crazy thing is, I used to watch this on Saturday afternoons. Lol
Chicken A La King me too
it was in australia, always started late on sbs, just as the weed and muchies kicked in, hehe
Yup, and it was the best time to watch TV
Looks like 3am...aired right at primetime...amazing show
Bit of useless trivia-
If you remember the Sega ads from this era, they always ended with a guy shouting "SEGA!".
The guy who voiced that snippet, is the same guy who did Crazy Daisy Ed.
Really? I didn't know that
Also a fact the creator of the short at 19:21 is the same one that created courage the cowardly dog.
Thank you for the trivia Lev! ♧

It's been a downhill road for VH1 & Nickelodeon too. As for MTV...I'm surprised it hasn't folded yet.
I remember liking Crazy Daisy Ed the most for some reason.

YES! Bring me back to the days of politicians staying off of Twitter and people NOT needing validation from social media! \m/
Oh please people just got their validation from mags and radio instead
Its faster and more available but the internet is not to blame
And I thought Adult Swim was weird.
I love it

BRING THIS BACK MTV
I want to my MTV back 😉
This is. fucking. amazing
the big city is a masterpiece
You can definitely see how this birthed the Newgrounds/early CZcams animation generation
Also albino blacksheep
didn't know courage the cowardly dog got its start here..
kinda, dilworth produced a lot of shorts for mtvlt
I didn’t even know his early pilot started out by depicting child abuse 😬
19:09
God, I loved this show. Wish there was a DVD of all the original episodes. Would get it in a heartbeat. Still have my VHS of "The Maxx", as well.
OMG!! LT !!! Thank you SO much! I completely forgot about it until now. Brings back a LOT of memories from my 20's. Now, at 54, I'd do almost anything to relive that decade. The last, fun decade, in my opinion
We were just getting out of the cheesy 80s and into the more weirdness of the 90s when this show came out. I thought it was awesome and new!!
I miss those days.
90's Boy

so do i
I had a full head of hair in the 90s😂🤣😭
Me too. 😢
I thought i would never see this show again. I was pretty sure no one else remembered it
Exactly....thought I was the only old fk thinking this...
I really enjoyed the Big City cartoon
Me too
Hate it
I remember watching this as a kid; basically Kablam for Adults, then succeeded by Cartoon Sushi. Always wanted Raisin & Crazy Daisy Ed to get their own shows, just like Aeon.
Cartoon sushi was awesome too
adult swim before adult swim
Wish MTV would put the whole thing on DVD.
I agree. I only have this on VHS.
On the Aeon Flux box DVD I got in 2007, there's a good amount of Liquid Television👌🏽
I haven't seen any of these in like, 25 years and I still remember the lines!
19:09 Looks like a pilot for Courage the Cowardly Dog
rosarito morales Well it was made by the same people who did Courage the Cowardly Dog. This cartoon was made like in between 91-93. The pilot for Courage was in '99 which was part of a series on CN called Cartoon Cartoons along with the pilots for Sheep in the Big City and Billy and Mandy.
20% Off I always thought it seemed pretty Ren N Stimpy too.
Raisins brother looks like Bill Burr.
Dillworth had a thing about his characters having some fucked up teeth. Still entertaining

this is like courage mixed with ed edd and eddy mixed with bevis and butthead and topped off with some cocaine, jesus.
Thrakerzad The last bit with Raisin was made by the same dude who created Courage the Cowardly Dog. John R Dilworth.
I think those yrs were about acid and speed, not cocain.
🧐🤨
accurate
Liquid TV is awesome. I use to watch this all the time and I always got a kick out of it.
Weird things happen when u stay up at night late at 12am-3am wacthing TV reminds me of adult swim
Ppespecially the 90s
Also the Nola and Raffi segment was always a favorite too. I loved the animation style and the story was so so cute. I miss this VHS tape. I probably have it somewhere still...
I love Liquid Television. It inspired me a lot when I was a young lad

*_ONLY REAL MOTHER FUCKERS WATCHED MTV IN THE NINETEEN NINETIES ._*
Nowadays animation sucks. It's incomparable to the way they use to treat animation back then. New animation is just a pile of shit.
I agree
oh shut up
When MTV was cool!
Liquid Television back in the day rocked some serious balls. If you watch it on MTV on demand, you'll find that it really sucks!
That flower was badass!
Here for the memories... wow
This was the best brain drug ever
MTV influenced Adult Swim and this proves it all
Damn I love this. Took me back to a simpler time. Thanks!!!!!
I was doin a lot of mind altering stuff at this time and these were great. Ahh the memories, that I can remember.
Remember when television was all we had? Yeah, I'm old.
I really miss the 90s.
I miss you!
Me too
There were some good times but it was also the height of political correctness and third-wave feminism.

Who?
The dangwoods short is so beautifully paced and tied together
Man this stuff takes me back to golden days in the 90’s
Is it me doesn't Raisin feel like a twisted Courage the Cowardly Dog episode?

It's kind of a mindfuck, that trailer park episode looks like something that would be on Nickelodeon. I wonder hat company did that
Same company owned both mtv and nick.

Back when MTV was original, without rules and open.
I remember watching these as a child, it’s nice watching these with an adult perspective.
I just loved liquid television! I miss the 90s
Omg yes! i forgot all about liquid tv, used to stay up late to watch these. Aeon flux was amazing. Thx for letting me relive some of my childhood!
That Raisin girl's voice sounds familia-OH MY GOD IT'S ANGELICA FROM RUGRATS!
Babies:"ANGELICA!?!"
Damn!!!!!!! My favorite show .... I'm crying
I had this on VHS a long time ago when i was 12. this takes me back
Thank you so much for posting this!!! It takes me way back, I LOVE IT!!
I remember as a teen I didn't like liquid television. I thought the animations were too ugly, but now as an adult I can appreciate the adult humor.
Surprised how much of this stuff I used to quote without even remembering where it came from.
Dan never fails to mention awesome shit on Game Grumps.
just looked it up because i was reading the wikipedia page for beavis & butthead. this was awesome!
I want to say thank you very much for posting this cartoon is a blast from the past it’s my favorite I know every single one of them Word for Word and I appreciate this so much. there’s others that appreciate good humor it’s amazing
Liquid Television was excellent, Aeon Flux being one of the biggest to spin off. I think Friends of Maxx also.
MTV also had other amazing shows, like The State.
If this is your thing, you might like The Minute Hour. Pure, terrifying, psychotic, comedic gold.
MTV should bring this back or at least have it on dvd
Omg! I use to love this show. Thanks 4 posting.
The sad thing is this is still better than 90% of the shit they put on adults when these days
12:50 wow, that was one of the most beautiful and awesome short cartoons I've ever seen!!! :D The rest of these are really wtf... haha.
Seriously satisfying line work on that one.
Thanks to OP for posting this! I miss this sooooo much and you cant get it on DVD anywhere!
Thank you for posting this it made my day
I miss liquid tv
smart talk with raisin at 19:11. is that angelicas from the rugrats voice?
Oh my, it's a young courage the cowardly dog!
Oh god, I remember this ♡
I know I've seen Smart Talk with Raisin before, not to mention the art style is so familiar. No surprise since the animator is John R. Dilworth, if the name doesn't ring any bells I'm sure you know Courage the Cowardly Dog.
It started out as just another one of his shorts "The Chicken from Outer Space" which was nominated for Academy Award in 1996. Cartoon Network then commissioned him to turn it into a series.
This was ahead of its time
This makes me yearn for the time when this stuff was okay to put on TV
Gives me a PilotRedSun vibe.
so much of this would not be out of place on today's youtube
MTV liquid television...yeah RIGHT!!!!!
I remember setting my Panasonic PV-1210 OmniVision VCR Top Loader VHS to record this.
HOLY SHIT that Smart Talk with Raisin segment was made by the very own Jhon. L. Dilworth. The creator of Courage the Cowardly dog.
Tbh in ptty young, i actually found thus thanks to finding aeon flux, discovering stuff not from my generation is damm cool
This what we had instead of youtube and tik tok.
Uncle Louie!!!!!
Dude Dan, this entire episode was fucksolutely amazing!
Jesus MTV was really good back in the day huh?
