This had a car shaped like a penis, and in one episode it actually elongated.

I love how grand the narrator and the music try to make this sound.

i gotta find that Harvey Birdman about the laff-a-lympics

This one I actually kinda remember being fun to watch.
Probably the weakest premise of any of the crap Hanna Barbera came out but at least this time they admit it---instead of trotting out yet another gang of teenagers and a talking animal they just go "fuck it" and have a big battle royale with all their most popular chararacters.

Hanna Barbera's Smash Brothers.

I take exception to the description of this post. The Really Rottens in fact won. Twice. Both times in the second season, and not counting the three-way tie (I think there was one).

You're thinking about the Wacky Races where the really bad guy (#00) never won.

This wasn't quite as good as Wacky Races. Also was it my imagination or was there a third Hanna Barbera series with characters racing, possibly in space?

The worst part is knowing that at some point someone thought that is was a good idea.

everyone here stop talking about Wacky Races like you're mentioning just another thing

Actually, the Really Rottens won in one episode, but it was accidental and without cheating. Then the Really Rottens complained since they won it without cheating.

"Yabble Dabble!!!!"

They had everything in place to make Harvey Birdman except the will to ever be in any way creative.

Maybe it was the utter shamelessness of this cartoon that made it surprisingly good. Plus, I can't hate any show with Muttley in it. And Captain Caveman's battle cry was pure gold.

I remember thinking this show was totally inexplicable at 7.
