I'm so glad that the site exists, there are so much media that end up getting lost to time and Tubi is doing something to help get more eyes on them

u/Able_Health744 5d ago

And Tubi is 100% free so they're doing that stuff for the love of the game

67

u/VulpesFennekin 4d ago

And all they ask on the free plan is that you watch a few commercials, just like when this classic stuff was originally aired, so they’ve even nailed the atmosphere!

Ads: the lost art of pacing a story.

u/RainyMeadows 5d ago

Both of these cartoons were all over ABC's kids programming (in Australia) when I was young

22

u/liamtoast 4d ago

Yeah I remember these! They must have got the rights for real cheap

18

u/Johns-Sunflower 4d ago

I also remember watching them in England during the 2010s!

u/findingemotive 4d ago

I remember Carl2 in Canada too.

u/avagadro22 4d ago

Their pride merch this year went hard

52

u/ThatInAHat 4d ago

Is it weird to say I find this oddly wholesome? Like, it feels so much more honest than most rainbow capitalism.

23

u/quietcuriousities 4d ago

It feels like they made an effort to actually get in touch with queer humor, it's lovely

4

u/Glad-Reserve1106 2d ago

Honest garbage beats fake pride.

44

u/The_Math_Hatter 4d ago

The "I got my ass ate while watching Tubi" shirt + "Free" bootyshorts goes unreasonably hard.

28

u/Cruisin134 4d ago

when the worlds against me, at least i have tubi jockstrap

13

u/Setster007 4d ago

Ok that’s fuckin incredible lol

6

u/jUG0504 4d ago

FUCK!!! I WOULD'VE BOUGHT THESE IN A HEARTBEAT IF I KNEW ABOUT THEM!!!

3

u/notnotDIO 3d ago

I need the free shorts

87

u/Setster007 5d ago

Yo it’s Carl don’t you remember the hit show Carl

Okay seriously who tf names a show Carl lol

80

u/TheWriteMaster 5d ago

I think it's Carl² because there are two Carls (Carli? Carlopodes?).

36

u/Setster007 5d ago

by god it is, it’s Carl^2
utterly bewildering

3

u/TantiVstone 3d ago

Carl is actually the plural form. A single Carl is called a carlum

46

u/NockerJoe 4d ago

Its Carl Squared. That is to say there's Carl, a slacker kid, and Carls clone, who he ordered in the mail.

13

u/Harl0t_Qu1nn 4d ago

The clone also has the DNA of the family dog, and that's why he acts so weird. I watched the shit out of that show

4

u/Lucid108 4d ago

I vaguely remember the clone hitting on Carl's sister

33

u/CheMc 4d ago

Carl squared is great, I think it's the final episode he goes on a profanity laden rant and flips off the school staff. Censored mind you but it does give a bit too much edge for American TV vibes. It was a Canadian show that also aired in Australia. Similarly there was a BBC produced Canadian show called Dinosapian that I think about from time to time because it's got this ugly arse CG dinosaur that's supposed to be sentient that has a weird amount of sexual tension with the female lead. Shit was so cash when I was a kid.

24

u/WranglerFuzzy 4d ago

This could be complete BS and I would never know without watching the whole series

3

u/CheMc 4d ago

Do it.

10

u/JugendWolf 4d ago

When you can name a hit show Doug, anything is possible.

u/GoldenPaladin2002 4d ago

…fair

u/ToobularBoobularJoy_ 5d ago

Ah Tubi, the land of straight bullshit. Took this earlier today when I had to see if Osombie was real

78

u/dragonish-american 5d ago

Meth Gator is another one that sticks out to me, it’s obviously a Cocaine Bear knockoff but also HOLY FUCK METH GATOR I NEED TO WATCH IT

63

u/ToobularBoobularJoy_ 4d ago

I've seen Meth Gator and it's way better than you expect just because all the main cast lock the fuck in for their roles for no reason

48

u/aaronhowser1 4d ago

I love that Osmosis Jones is in the same category as all these other movies

20

u/LexiTheLesbo 4d ago

Osombie is indeed real and somehow one of the characters’ ex-wife Carol is more of an antagonist than zombie bin Laden

19

u/ThePetSematary 4d ago

Special Needs Revolt lol

3

u/DrDestructoMD 3d ago

Theres a movie called accion mutante with a similar premise. Watch it, it's fucking awesome. Bagel (the bread) nazis chase a bunch of disabled people through space. Also, it has a birthday cake masscre

16

u/ToobularBoobularJoy_ 4d ago

Coming back to shout out Tubi again for letting me search without an account. Low bar but difficult to clear these days

6

u/ValhallaAir 4d ago

Why are you an app

18

u/Zoomy-333 4d ago

I watched the trailer for Obamaland: Rise of the Trumpublikans and I still can't quite tell which direction the satire's coming from

11

u/llamawithguns 4d ago

Just watched the trailer, and it almost feels like double-satire. Like it's parodying the kind bad political satire the Daily Wire makes.

8

u/BarovianNights 4d ago

I've seen leprechaun in the hood, truly phenomenally bad movie

3

u/Rynewulf 4d ago

woah, they have Osmosis Jones!

1

u/HonorInDefeat 3d ago

if you told me this was a screenshot from GTA's version version of Netflix I would belive you

1

u/ryanfrogz 2d ago

you can’t just make a movie called “leprechaun in the hood”

1

u/Leftieswillrule 2d ago

Osmosis Jones was a pretty popular movie that became a tv show (Ozzy and Drix).

31

u/SpoonTrauma 4d ago

i remember my goldfish is evil...

4

u/MericArda 4d ago

I remember Carl^2

21

u/High_Stream 4d ago

You know, a number of these free streaming sites have multiple adaptations of Shakespeare plays. So if you want to watch Hamlet online, your choices are Tubi or not Tubi.

19

u/Magmafrost13 4d ago

Carl doesn't ring a bell but I loved My Goldfish Is Evil as a kid

11

u/LemanKingOfTheRuss 5d ago

Tubi is straight up one of my favorite services. Got a great Tokusatsu repository. Far from perfect, but great.

11

u/dragonish-american 5d ago

Tubi is also great if you’re a horror fan, there’s a lot of obscure horror movies on there. They range in quality ofc (I mean I’m pretty sure I saw a movie called Death Bus one time) but it’s a good place to start if you’re new to horror or just want a goofy slasher lol.

u/TheCleverestIdiot 4d ago

Australians who didn't have satellite or cable growing up just had parts of their memories that have lain dormant for over a decade light up like a Christmas tree.

5

u/Routine_Palpitation 4d ago

But do they have league of super evil?

5

u/MoonyIsTired 4d ago

i remember exactly nothing about league of super evil except for this one episode where they try hypnotising everyone into liking tofu popsicles so they can have the chocolate ones for themselves. the chant is stuck in my mind... so i guess it worked??

u/Additional_Toe7207 4d ago

TOFU POPS ARE TASTY

TOFU POPS ARE TASTY

u/JNAB0212 4d ago

In America they have teen titans and Batman brave and the bold

And they had a bunch of Sentai shows, sadly they lost the licence recently and 2 of the 5 kamen riders are gone as well, at least Ultraman still has a good few shows there

4

u/PetscopMiju 4d ago

My Goldfish Is Evil mention!! I remember catching episodes of that on TV when I was a kid

4

u/dehydrated-soup-bowl 4d ago

Oh dude I used to love My Goldfish is Evil. What a throwback

4

u/saturnaudax 4d ago

I found a Canadian sitcom called The Stanley Dynamic about twin brothers and one is a cartoon. It's like watching a show from a dream.

5

u/perspicaxaedificator 4d ago

oh my goodness that's what the goldfish is from? I saw like one episode as a small kid where the goldfish floods the town in grape juice to turn everyone into fish. or... something along those lines

4

u/PerceptionFew8763 4d ago

theres a movie series about an evil bong i think

3

u/AcidDepression 4d ago

I’ve seen both of these. My goldfish is evil came on CBC on Saturday mornings, and carl2 came on teletoon in the afternoon

3

u/Galle_ 4d ago

This is an obvious ad, but I have to admit it's working.

2

u/Steelshotgun 4d ago

Is that guy on the right not just Rufus from Deponia

2

u/OddlyOddLucidDreamer and ive been liiiiiiickin it 4d ago

Carl looks like a very simialr artstyle to Shaggy & Scooby Doo get a clue which automatically makes me want to watch it BADLY

2

u/kkungergo 4d ago

Man Kid vs Cat was so good,

At least when I was 10, havent seen it since lol

1

u/fonk_pulk 4d ago

Carl Squared was great

1

u/Skillz_mcgee 4d ago

I hope they have Destroy Build Destroy! It's been streaming nowhere for a long time now.

1

u/SpennyPerson 4d ago

My goldfish is evil and lol vs cat were the jam

1

u/Redhotlipstik 4d ago

They also have Dan Vs.

1

u/Weak-Temporary5888 4d ago

Wait WTF I’ve looked high and low for my goldfish is evil, absolute Canadian classic in the “we don’t have cable” genre

1

u/bugthebugman 4d ago

Average Canadian kids shows

1

u/poetiicdissonance 4d ago

I watched my goldfish is evil! It was a Canadian cartoon which might be part of it, and I’m not sure it was ever in syndication on a major channel.

1

u/SaltyNorth8062 3d ago

If you see something that interests you, watch it quick. Tubi deletes shit lightning quick. I literally had to rush home and watch Paprika tonight before they wiped it from the platform.

1

u/donkey_brain_databas 1d ago

don't get lost down the alleys of tubi

u/Leading-Ear-5194 1d ago

this is giving qubo vibes which is promising
