YMMV / Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Uncle Gus, Longhair, Vivian, and Prickles only appeared in shorts produced for the Big Pick, an event in 2000 where viewers could vote on which of ten cartoon pilots would become a full-length series, and have largely been forgotten outside of these games. A lot of Cartoon Network fans only remember them because of Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort.
  • Crack Pairing: Some of the dancing partners you need to match in Episode 4 are pretty weird. To wit: Dee Dee and Chicken, Bubbles and Courage, and Suzy and I.R. Baboon.
  • Cult Classic: Even for the time, these games are incredibly crude by Adventure Game standards. The sprite work is laughable and there is only one poorly looping song playing over all the games that can get annoying fast. However, for many, it was their first experience with Flash games, as well as an interesting relic of early Cartoon Network. As a result, it holds a disproportionately large nostalgic place in many people's hearts who grew up with the network.
  • Fridge Brilliance:
    • In Episode 4, Cow will give you a glass of warm milk if you give her a new blanket. Considering that she's, well, a cow, she probably made it herself.
    • Blossom is the only girl attending the disco who doesn't specify what kind of boy she's looking for, so her dance partner ends up being Edd by process of elimination. Both are very logical and book-smart characters, so it makes a certain amount of sense.
  • Funny Moments:
    • There is a sign near the fountains that changes in every episode.
      Episode 1: Please do not move the fountains.
      Episode 2: For Pete's sake, DON'T MOVE THE FOUNTAINS!
      Episode 3: FOR THE LAST TIME! MOVE THE FOUNTAINS, NOT!!!!!!
      Episode 4: Fine, go ahead and move the fountains. See if I care. I QUIT!
    • The dialogue from the ducks in the duck pond.
      "I'm only doing this duck thing to pay my bills."
      "Cake please!"
      "Arf! Arf! Oh... uh, I mean QUACK!"
    • In Episode 2, once you recover the Mayor's wallet, the Mayor will reward you with a 10 dollar bill, which you can use to buy sunglasses for Eustace so he'll give you his skeleton key in return. When you return to the sunglasses store in Episode 4, the store will inform you that sunglasses now cost $42,877,000.00 due to inflation.
    • In Episode 3, the animals you rescue from the island will each give you a stone you'll need to open the doors inside the volcano as a reward. The lizard gives you the Sun Stone, the beetle gives you the Water Stone, the koala gives you the Tree Stone, the ostrich gives you the Wind Stone, and the monkey gives you the Stone Stone.
    • In Episode 4, during the disco dance, you have to match the male bachelors to the girls who want to dance with them. Since this requires opening your inventory screen, besides the bachelors, it's also possible to choose the disco key, a boat, or Johnny Bravo to dance with the girls.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: None of the protagonist characters (Uncle Gus, Longhair, Vivian and Prickles) had their respective shorts greenlit into fully-fledged shows, as The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy won the Big Pick Weekend.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The fancy restaurant could've been a good location for quests or even an additional episode. Alas, it is all but forgotten about.
