Shut Up! Cartoons

Shut Up! Cartoons was an animation channel project created by the Smosh duo Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox with Barry Blumberg that featured various animated videos. Shut Up! Cartoons was funded by YouTube's failed $100 million original channel initiative. The channel launched on April 30, 2012 with Do's and Don'ts and ceased with the Smosh Babies series finale on June 23, 2017.

The initial teaser trailer featured clips from 11 different shows, with Padilla and Hecox later informing their viewers that there were 18 planned shows in total. The first three cartoons launched by the network included Do's and Don'ts: A Children's Guide to Social Survival, Zombies vs. Ninjas, and Pubertina, a show about an 11-year-old girl going through puberty. In May 2012, Smosh launched Krogzilla, a show created by and starring Cory Edwards and featuring John O'Hurley. Snowjacked soon followed, broadcasting on Tuesdays, meeting mixed reception. At the end of the first three cartoons' 10 episode run, they were replaced by Nature Break, Weasel Town, and Oishi High School Battle. Oishi High School Battle spawned a second season. Another show was added replacing Krogzilla called Samurai! Daycare. In September 2012, they also launched Politicats to replace Snowjacked. The show that replaced Nature Break is Planets, a reality show about the ten celestial bodies of the Solar System (the eight planets, Pluto, and the Sun).
Weasel Town's replacement, entitled Really Freaking Embarrassing, created by Peter Hannan (Nickelodeon's CatDog) had its first trailer removed from the website, stated as "shocking and disturbing content".
A new trailer was added, with less disturbing scenes. In September 2012, the channel launched Oishi Origins, a three-episode prequel to Oishi High School Battle. The show replacing Samurai! Daycare is Icons of Teen, which features both fictional characters (such as Batman and Spock) and real celebrities (such as Oprah Winfrey) as teenagers. Also that week, Oishi Origins was replaced by Teleporting Fat Guy, which is based on a character from previous Smosh videos and explains how he became the Teleporting Fat Guy.
On November 20, 2012, Politicats was replaced by Sub: 3 following a Speed Racer-like character that delivers pizza on a tight time limit, met by mixed reviews. On November 28, the trailer was released for With Zombies created by Matt Clark (the creator of Planets). On November 15, 2013, Do's and Don'ts and Krogzilla received IAWTV nominations for Best Animated Web Series. The second seasons for Do's and Don'ts and Pubertina premièred in April 2014, with Do's and Don'ts ending in April, and Pubertina ending in May.
On June 12, 2013, the paper series Paper Cuts premièred on the channel. The ten episodes featured shot-by-shot re-creations of famous movie scenes and trailers made entirely out of construction paper.
On June 23, 2013, the Canadian stop motion series Life's a Zoo premiered on the channel.
On June 23, 2017, the channel posted their final video, which was the series finale of Smosh Babies and ceased operations.
