Nicktoons (1st Era)

In My Brain (2003-2005)

Logo: We see a goldfish in a glass cup, an egg floating on a fan, a bullfrog with dice spinning around it. The dice fall onto a record player and bounce back up, revealing an owl. As white balls bounce around the owl, it winks at the camera. Then the balls morph into the Nicktoons logo.

FX/SFX: Everything.

Variants: There are multiple alternate versions of this bumper. Red dice buzz around a pair of chicks. We then cut to a drain in a bathtub, which explodes with water and sea creatures. A brush is shown scrubbing a toy car, along with a green toothbrush. A dog appears and the toothbrush begins to circle it 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 tiny pink rabbit toy comes out of a walnut. 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. A large bird stands in some grass, looking at us. Leaves float upwards and two rocks with butterflies on them "kiss" and zoom off. A mouse is shown sitting on a large bone as smaller ones fall from the sky, and a metal baby zooms in. The logo forms. A cuckoo clock door gives way, letting out popcorn, and a lizard 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. The logo forms with bubbles. Music/Sounds: Depends on the specific variant used.

Availability: Extinct.

Scare Factor: Minimal to medium, depending on the variant.

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 back some. 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: 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. Scare Factor: Low.

Nicktoons Network

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. 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 "Nicktoons" written 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 "Nictoons Network!" at the end.

Availability: Extinct.

Another croc-o-fly approaches the flower farthest to the left as it lurches upwards and eats the croc-o-fly and burps out the Nicktoons Network logo.

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.

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 with a blue cat holding nunchucks. The cats then fight as the screen fills with fire as the cats claw out the Nicktoons Network logo.

Ball Bounce (2005-2007)

Logo:4 overhead lights flicker on as a room illuminates with an orange ball floating on the right side of the room. 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

Nicktoons (2nd Era)

Alien (2010) Logo: We see a creepy animated alien saying "Obey me or be destroyed!" and laughing. The camera zooms out and we see the Nicktoons logo. FX/SFX: The alien and the camera zooming out. Music/Sounds: The dialogue and laughter. Availability: Extinct. It can't be found on YouTube. This may have been an Invader Zim bumper based on the only known description of it (found on the comments of a YouTube video called "The Top 5 Scariest Logos"). Scare Factor: Medium. The alien's creepy appearance, his laugh, and the camera zooming out have been known to scare more than two people, as well as the fact that there is no trace of it online. Decreased if you're used to it.
