    The original Nicktoons Unite crew is so funny when you realize that Spongebob is the only adult present. If anything happens to those kids, the responsibility for their safety falls on Spongebob Squarepants.
  • @goodberry4825
    You actually missed a really important detail in Attack of the Toybots! One of the most recognizable enemies in this game is Mr Snuggles, a pink teddy bear who seems in no way inappropriate for a Nickelodeon game. This is unless we use the free-look tool included with the Dolphin emulator so that we can unlock the camera and get a closer look at Mr Snuggles' box. While the image here is actually oriented upside-down as they never expected anybody to actually see this, what it actually says is, "I'll hug you and kill you. You'll never sleep again. I'll kill your parents." Always fun knowing there's all kinds of traumatizing stuff hidden just out of view in kids' games.
  • 1:17:10 “Danny Fenton wanted dead or alive” is so funny I hope whoever made that asset realized what theyd done and were proud of it
  • I love how the crossovers go from youtubers and recognizable figures to just his buddy Wyatt lmao
  • @panta_rhei.26
    As a 22 year old, Keyan's ignorance of 2000s Nickelodeon cartoons is certainly NOT representative of people his age.
  • @superpsychic
    that one fanartist who EXCLUSIVELY draws nicktoons unite fanart is gonna love this
  • @FirbolgVagabond
    This might just be because Invader Zim was one of my absolute favorite shows as a kid (and still is now tbh), but I feel like Dib would fit in so easily with the OG Nicktoons Unite team. Like, that kid's constantly saving the world from wacky alien schemes and is DESPERATE for truly anyone to take him seriously. Plus he's got a scientist dad so he's got access to Cool Equipment like the other guys. I also think he'd be funny to have around because he keeps getting way too excited about the end of the world. Not in a "yippee this is so cool" way, but he's constantly losing his mind about how everyone's finally going to see how he's been Right All Along and takes a weird sort of glee in people being in danger that get specifically is going to save them from.

    Honestly, Quinton, I watch your stuff because I find it funny and interesting. I never expect you to put out hours-long videos or anything like that. I just genuinely like your work, and it sucks that you are experiencing such vitriol from your audience and other people who just don't have proper etiquette on the internet. You deserve to have fun doing these videos with no strings attached. Do what you gotta do, man. Those of us who want to be here will be here when you get back.
  • @Joe90h
    "Calamitous also has a daughter" I guess he was able to finish at some point then, heyooo
  • @charnucky8059
    “The lore takes itself so seriously and there’s all this melodrama and also SpongeBob is there” Pretty much describing Kingdom Hearts there
  • I dunno why the idea of Vlad dressing up as a vampire to go to bed cracks me up quite as much as it does. Like "Time for bed. Better get my Dragula garb." Like that's so weird....but also such specific mood. Like, you think he had a coffin? Like he slept in a coffin just for the vibes? Like, this is just how he relaxes. Don't judge. I don't know why this is so funny.
  • @JessKipp
    No one else mentioning the painting in the start being painted by the guy who shot Ronald Regan is driving me insane
  • @DoobusGoobus
    I'm 23 and I know literally every character in nicktoons unite. I'm surprised a guy only one year younger than me is so in the dark.
  • @yogcavey
    I'm leaving a new comment as I hit the last 10 minutes of the video. I'm a 2D animator for television, and I've been listening to this video while doing work for a few days now. I really loved it, and your closing comments of the "who would be in a new Nicktoons Unite" section made me reflect. I do edutainment-y stuff for Canadian television, you can check out Riley Rocket if you want, I'm Isabella Deschamps in the credits. And that show is.... fine! It was fun, inclusive and cool. Aimed at a bit of a younger audience. But... nothing has any staying power anymore. I have no clue if Riley will ever see a season 2. And since you mentioned this one, one of my buddies from college actually worked on Rock Paper Scissors! He hasn't had any work in a few months now. Almost everyone I know in my field don't have jobs right now, some haven't for months or years now. I'm really sad about it. The adult animation field has been... okay, lately, despite some massive upsets (a lot of my friends lost jobs when Inside Job got cancelled. I'm still heartbroken, loved that show). It's great that adult animation has been doing fine lately. But I feel like no one wants to tell good stories for kids anymore. What even is there nowadays to capture their minds and imaginations? I genuinely don't know !! I feel like nothing I'm doing is gonna be hitting that mark. I'm working on a different show that has the same vibes and I'm just like... bleh. Nothing here is memorable or zany or interesting. I'm not really allowed to let characters express emotions that are "too negative". Maybe in 15 or 20 years, there will be a Riley Rocket video essay with 100 comments about people remembering that show but ultimately forgetting it. I just don't know. ... Sorry to lament in your comments!! I love my job, I've only been doing it for 2 years, but I really desperately hope that in my lifetime I will get to work on shows that will inspire the "next" Nicktoons Unite. I hope that someone who wants to write compelling stories for kids steps up again. That the executives loosen their grips on how everything must be. I hope someday I get to make something that will stick with someone forever, like how my partner and friends quote Spongebob everyday. It would be really fucking cool. Thanks for the video & all of the laughs Quinton !! Always fun knowing there's all kinds of traumatizing stuff hidden just out of view in kids' games.
  • @Karragh
    i imagine they recorded even more Mr Snuggle's Box bits, but Quinton only used however many was needed to push the video over 7 hours.
  • @jill9978
    The idea of AANG being kidnapped and returned to his show at any point of ATLA is hilarious to me. Better if he’s like “I had the weirdest dream.”
  • @helfire17
    when i was a kid, my gamecube crashed while my dad, brother and I were playing nicktoons unite - during a boss fight. not knowing what to do, and being upset about it, i kneeled in front of the gamecube and vocally prayed to God that it would work. it never did again. i never played the game again. can't wait to watch this video.
  • @nicole6009
    It must have been SO difficult getting the Box Ghost to come on to host a segment on your video! Contacting people from other dimensions is so hard to do without a built-in basement ghost zone portal. Quinton really has been outdoing himself with every new video!
