Nicktoons

In My Brain (2003-2005)
Logo: We see a goldfish in a glass cup, an egg floating on a fan, and a bullfrog with dice spinning around it. The dice fall onto a record player and bounce back up, before it cuts to an owl standing near the record player. As white balls bounce around the owl, it winks at the camera. Then the balls morph into the Nicktoons logo.

Variants: There are multiple alternate versions of this bumper.
 * Red dice fly around a pair of chicks sitting in a nest. We then cut to a drain in a bathtub, which is unplugged as water and sea creatures come out of it. A brush is shown scrubbing a toy car, and a green toothbrush comes up from the sink. We see a dog looking at the toothbrush, which begins to circle it along with some bottles of body wash. Then a floating pair of teeth appears, says "we did it!", and laughs while white balls orbit around it. The balls then fly into the pair of teeth and form the logo.
 * A walnut opens to reveal a tiny pink toy rabbit. We see a closeup of a pig's face while a man says "I love you" offscreen. A tugboat "sails" through a blue carpet as a cockatiel looks on, singing loudly. An alarm clock goes off, and the cockatiel's feathers form the logo.
 * An Egyptian vulture stands in the grass and looks at the camera as leaves float around, and two rocks with butterflies on them "kiss" and fall down. A mouse is shown sitting on a large bone as smaller ones fall from the sky, and a metal baby moves towards the screen. The logo forms.
 * A cuckoo clock door opens, popcorn flies out, and a chameleon eats one of the popcorn pieces. We cut to a bowl with three dice inside, then a pair of headphones with a lemon bouncing between its cups, and then a rabbit with carrots levitating around it. Bubbles appear and come together to form the logo.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the specific variant used.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Invader Zim (2004-2005)
Logo: In a highly-exposed 3D environment, we see various faded still images of Zim moving across the screen with various light exposures panning on them, stuttering in and out of positions. The Nicktoons logo pops in and out with the copies, having faded copies itself. After a few more scenes with both Zim and the Nicktoons logo, we see the logo closely pan up to the camera and fade in and out before panning upwards and a little back.

FX/SFX: The lights, Zim copies, and Nicktoons logos moving about. Appears to be a mix between live-action and 2D computer graphics. Produced by Klasky-Csupo's commercial division Ka-Chew.

Music/Sounds: A catchy, electronic polka tune with a tuba that constantly reverses and loops itself. Most likely production music, though edits were supposedly done by Ka-Chew.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Chicken Catch (2007)


Logo: On a farmyard, a mechanism resembling a catapult with a human arm grows out of the ground. A rooster walks up to the catapult, hops into it, and is thrown into the air. A green man with a nest for a head chases after the rooster. He catches it, and starts to dance while spotlights shine in the background. The man lays an orange egg with the Nicktoons Network logo (a wireframe globe with a splat on the right side and the text "NICKTOONS NETWORK" below it) on it.

FX/SFX: The catapult throwing the rooster, the man running after it.

Music/Sounds: Quiet whirring when the catapult forms, a whistle as the rooster flies through the air, a happy dubstep beat when the man does his dance, and an autotuned voice saying "Nicktoons Network!" at the end.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Goat Swim (2007)


Logo: We see a goat/ram covered in unidentifiable gray masses on its body and head as it floats downwards while bubbles follow it. The goat grunts 2 times and farts out a bubble containing the Nicktoons Network logo.

FX/SFX: The goat floating and farting, the bubbles.

Music/Sounds: Water sounds when the goat is floating, followed by two grunts and a loud fart. 5 guitar notes play when the Nicktoons Network logo appears.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The goat's appearance might unsettle some but it's mostly a funny ident.

Croc-O-Flies (2007)


Logo: We see 3 orange flowers on a blue background as a crocodile/butterfly hybrid flutters up to the flower farthest to the right, chomps it and flies away with it. Another croc-o-fly approaches the flower farthest to the left, but it lurches upwards, eats the croc-o-fly, and burps out some bones and the Nicktoons Network logo.

FX/SFX: The croc-o-flies, the flower and the Nicktoons Network logo flying out

Music/Sounds: Fluttering noises as the crocs fly, a video game type chomping noise when the croc and the flower bite, followed by a burp and 5 guitar notes as the Nicktoons Network logo appears.

Music/Sounds Variants: There's a different version with electronic type music while the crocs fly, different munching noises, a different burp and a different guitar theme at the end.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The crocs and the plant chomping might catch people off guard.

Sheep-a-pult (2007)


Logo: We see a sheep in boots and goggles walk across a field against a yellow background as it hops into a catapult. The catapult then shoots the sheep as it flies across a desert filled with chomping crocodiles. The sheep flies into a stormy sky where it gets hit by lightning, falls down past several saw blades on a brown background and then dives into a glass of milk on an orange background as the Nicktoons Network logo splatters on the screen.

FX/SFX: Practically everything is moving.

Music/Sounds: A clipping sound as the sheep hops, a dragging sound followed by a whoosh as the catapult shoots the sheep, clipping sounds for the crocodiles, thunder for the storm, motor noises for the sawblades, a "whoooo" sound when the sheep falls followed by a drum roll and a splat as it hits the milk, then a voice saying "Nicktoons Network" as the logo appears.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: This is a fun ident.

Cat Fight (2007)


Logo: We zoom though a forest at sunset towards a hill as we see an orange cat standing on a seesaw holding a sandbag. The cat throws the sandbag on the other side of the seesaw as it launches the cat through the sky. The cat flies through space with its rear end on fire. The cat then lands on a hill next to a blue cat holding nunchucks. The cats then fight as the screen fills with fire and the cats claw out the Nicktoons Network logo.

FX/SFX: The cats flying and fighting.

Music/Sounds: Birds chirping and a nice violin tune as the hill zooms in followed by a meow as the cat is launched, a "wooo" sound as the cat flies through space, meowing and hissing as the cats fight followed by a voice saying "Nicktoons Network" when the logo appears.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Snail Monster (2007)


Logo: A snail moves from the right on an orange background and stops in the middle of the screen as a mouth filled with sharp teeth appears on its shell. A salt shaker then appears from the top of the screen and sprinkles salt on the snail as it disintegrates into a pile of bones. The salt shaker appears again on a blue background as it shakes out the Nicktoons Network logo.

FX/SFX: The snail, its mouth and the salt shaker.

Music/Sounds: A flute tune and slushing noises as the snail moves, a loud roar as the mouth appears and coughing noises as the bones appear, followed by an 8-note guitar theme as the Nicktoons Network logo appears.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The sudden unexpected appearance of the roaring mouth could scare some.

Bouncy Eye (2005-2009)


Logo: On a brown background, orange rings, lines, letters and sparkles move around the screen. They then collide and form the Nicktoons Network logo.

FX/SFX: The shapes moving.

Music/Sounds: A nice beatbox piece with a harmonica and vocal record scratches (that are actually the voice saying "Network") accompanied by a high-pitched voice singing "Nicktoons!". When the logo finishes, the voice proclaims "Network!"

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Ball Bounce (2005-2007)


Logo: Four overhead lights flicker on as a room illuminates, revealing an orange ball floating on the right side. An orange globe then draws itself on the left side of the room and begins spinning as the orange ball starts bouncing. The orange ball starts bouncing uncontrollably as it breaks the light farthest to the right and splatters on the globe. The image then turns to 2D as the words "NICKTOONS NETWORK" appear below the globe.

FX/SFX: The ball bouncing, the globe rotating, the light breaking and the resulting splatter.

Music/Sounds: An electric noise when the lights flicker on with a hum throughout, a whoosh noise when the globe draws itself followed by bouncing and "whoop" noises when the ball starts bouncing, a rumble noise as the ball bounces out of control followed by a gunshot type noise when it collides with the globe, then an electric buzz and an eerie chime noise as the final logo appears.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The darkness of the logo and the ball bouncing out of control might catch people off guard.

Invader Zim Returns (2010)
Logo: We see Zim saying "Stupid Nicktoons humans! You have one month to surrender to me, ZIM, or you would be destroyed!!" and laughing. The camera zooms out and we see the Nicktoons logo.

FX/SFX: Zim and the camera zooming out.

Music/Sounds: The dialogue and laughter.

Availability: Extinct, but it can be found on YouTube.

Editor's Note: Zim's creepy appearance when he laughs, and the camera zooming out have been known to scare more than two people.

Nicktoons Get Zombified (October 2011)
Logo: Zooming in on a dark green foggy landscape is the Nicktoons logo. Once the screen glitches, the logo releases a cloud substance and warbles, being filled with moss afterwards. Afterwards, TV static is shown, showing dark and zombified versions of multiple Nicktoons partaking in typical zombie actions. A few moments later, the same logo is shown on a custom background depending on the bumper in which the text "Times New Roman" fades in and warbles. The logo ends with the same characters from before, usually in a close up.

Variants: Depending on the Nicktoon being showcased:
 * The Fairly OddParents: Wanda is slowly walking and shaking her head before Cosmo suddenly awakens in a close up. At the end, Cosmo, now more closer to the camera, has his lower jaw fall off.
 * The Mighty B!: Inside a dark room, a silhouette of Bessie Higgenbottom is shown, which we then zoom out and see her glasses broken (one of her lens has her right eye exposed) and a skeleton of her left arm remaining. Walking across the room, she says "Everyone wants to be my BFF! Happy? Hello? Hello? Hello?". At the end, Bessie yells "This is awesome!" while her glasses fall off, displaying an angry expression on her face.
 * Fanboy and Chum Chum: In the Fanlair, Chum Chum is bouncing on a couch while Fanboy rises from the ground, shaking his arms while both of them make weird sounds and spin their eyeballs. They both yell "We did it!", then mimic seals, and then Chum Chum falls off the couch.

FX/SFX: The characters' movements; the logo zooming in and transforming.

Music/Sounds: A horror sting for the whole bumper with the line "Nicktoons get zombified!" at the beginning, the sound of static, and the twisted and distorted sounds and dialogue of the characters.

Availability: Extinct; it was only shown during Halloween of 2011 and was lost until recently.
