I Am Weasel

I Am Weasel is an American animated comedy television series created by David Feiss for Cartoon Network, and the 4th of the network's Cartoon Cartoons.

Plot
The series chronicles the random adventures of two funny animal frenemies: I.M. Weasel (Michael Dorn) and I.R. Baboon (Charlie Adler). The first one is a famous, heroic, eloquent, highly intelligent and very talented least weasel who always tries to help people out and is thus adored by everybody, constantly shouting his catchphrase "I am Weasel!" while pointing high in the air before going after help. The latter is his foil, an ugly and idiotic hamadryas baboon who is envious of Weasel's success and constantly tries to do better than he does (also doing a victory dance to express his joy when thinking he is doing so), and failing miserably after all due to his total stupidity.

Why It's Weasel

 * 1) Its theme song is fantastic to listen to. It is sang to the tune of the nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel" but with different lyrics.
 * 2) Awesome animation, just like its former show.
 * 3) Excellent voice acting, notably from Michael Dorn and Charlie Adler.
 * 4) Memorable characters like I.M. Weasel, I.R. Baboon, the Red Guy (who’s also from Cow and Chicken), Nurse Loulabelle, Jolly Roger, and Admiral Bullets.
 * 5) Cow and Chicken themselves do appear in the show sometimes. Other characters from their show also appear sometimes, like their Mom and Dad, their Teacher, and Flem and Earl.
 * 6) Great storylines of Weasel doing heroic things, and Baboon trying to do his own heroic things to outshine Weasel, which usually leads into hilarious trouble due to Baboon’s low intelligence, in which Weasel helps fix.
 * 7) Like Cow and Chicken, this show has a great soundtrack.
 * 8) The creative, and original concept of a weasel helping out many people.
 * 9) Sometimes relatable, such as Baboon trying to get attention so he feels important in life and his rivalry with his frenemy, Weasel.
 * 10) Detailed background design.
 * 11) Artistic title cards, which is typical for a Cartoon Cartoon, and what’s better is that Weasel does something and announces the episode’s title each time.
 * 12) The slapstick humor is great.
 * 13) It is more fun than Cow and Chicken, where it is better than the latter.
 * 14) The series finale, "I Are Legend", was a decent way to end the series (despite the bad ending).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The series once in a while gets pretty mean-spirited to I.R. Baboon.
 * 2) The series finale, "I Are Legend", while decent, has a pretty downer ending.
 * 3) Similarly to Cow and Chicken, it tends to overuse butt jokes. They are usually surprisingly funny, but they can sometimes be uncomfortable and annoying.

Trivia

 * When making the second season of Cow and Chicken, Cartoon Network wanted David Feiss to keep on making shorts for this show. David Feiss didn't want to make any more, but agreed he would only if he could start using the Red Guy in the shorts. Since then, the Red Guy was a regular character in this show.
