@Taweret Not an actual show, but the Donnelly Advertising Christmas Jingle. A local commercial. I really should report it to one of the lost media sites out there...I think I found the audio at one point, but haven't seen the full commercial. -
@Taweret The ultimate answer, though, is that we all lay dying of carbon monoxide poisoning and hallucinated “Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue” and we are now in Hell
@flyingsaceur @Taweret i rented this one from the video store as a little kid *so* many times, it was the only tape i ever wanted to rent for at least a year or two

@Taweret Eureeka's Castle isn't even that strange, but it's so Muppet-Like that I couldn't remember it clearly as a separate thing.
Looking it up, I see it was created by R. L. Stine. Yeah, that seems about right.
@apLundell @Taweret lmao whaaaaaat
i was obsessed with eureka castle as a kid but never had any idea it was rl stine

@Taweret Jabberwocky! it's pretty easy to see why it might seem like a hallucination (trippy opening credits after the short baseball sequence) https://youtu.be/VkOkw31XaHY?si=ilY4oJRwVcfTcHN2 thanks to YouTube I can now see those credits again but for 20 years I sort of thought I may have made them up.

@Taweret There was a time when I questioned if Doctor Snuggles was a childhood fever dream or not.

@Taweret The Music Box was a PBS(?) show with a magical talking grammophone who talked about musical concepts. I spent decades trying to find it and then someone uploaded all the episodes to YouTube.

@liferstate @Taweret What if Starlight Express but Bronx Zoo
@flyingsaceur @liferstate @Taweret this is the most perfect possible description of that show.

@Taweret ok here's an obscure one that only Chicago kids (and maybe some Canadian kids) will know:
Gigglesnort Hotel.

@i_give_u_worms @Taweret Voyagers was the time travel one -- I have fond memories of that.
There was a saturday morning cartoon in which a teenaged "benjy grimm" used his "thing rings" to transform into The Thing (yes, the orange rock monster from the Fantastic Four). Not really trippy, but not many folks seem to remember it.
@Unlikelylass @i_give_u_worms @Taweret I remember that one!! He would say something like “Thing ring do your thing,” lol
-
@srol @Taweret I still love this show and mumble the theme rap song lyrics from time to time, lol! “My name is Ziv Zoolander / ZZ for short / you know I fight the Corps / I’m the Bots Master / something something something put on your 3D shades! ITS LAZER TIME BOYZ!! “
It ended on a pretty dark cliffhanger too, though

@Taweret Any of the Hannah-Barbera stuff that was recycled from the 60s and 70s that wasn't The Flintstones.
@apLundell @Taweret I forget which regional UHF station it was ran a bunch of those on Sunday mornings and it was always such a disappointment compared to the a-list Saturday morning cartoons
Not Hanna-Barbera but they also ran Barbapapas, whose existence I definitely questioned as an adult until I got internet confirmation https://youtu.be/4iyYYsjSA6k

@Taweret the all-timer for me was Thunderbirds, which I saw now and then as a very little kid and completely erased from my memory until I saw the Dire Straits "Calling Elvis" video years later and had a small private freakout
