Cartoons That Never Made It

Cartoons That Never Made It was a series of adverts that aired on Cartoon Network in 1997 and were animated by AMPnyc Animation.
The shorts were about non-existent cartoons that never made it past the pilot due to their premises being laughably terrible. The four shorts consisted of "Rupert the Dead Grouper", "Frothy Dawg", "Heidi and the Yodelers" and "Salt 'n' Slug".https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/CartoonsThatNeverMadeIt
==Rupert the Dead Grouper==
Also known as Rupert the Grouper, this short stars a dancing fish who ends up dying from being out of his fishbowl too long by the time the title sequence ends. The actual episode is just a brief clip of some people dancing around his corpse, while the end credits show his dead body starting to smell and attract flies.
==Frothy Dawg==
This short is about a manically grinning rabid dog with a bad habit of biting everyone who gets too close to him and in one shot is shown to have infected a raccoon, a monkey, a bat and a squirrel with his disease, all of them smiling as if they're friends hanging out who don't mind that they're afflicted with an infection that has drastically reduced their lifespans. In addition, the end of the title sequence shows that the episode is the seventh of his series, alluding to the fact that dogs infected with rabies typically die within a week when not treated in time.
==Heidi and the Yodelers==
This short consists of a parody of Josie and the Pussycats where the band are a group of stereotypical Swiss yodelers clad in lederhosen who ride in a car shaped like Swiss cheese.
==Salt 'n' Slug==
This short is about an anthropomorphic salt shaker and a slug being in love, which predictably ends with the salt shaker accidentally killing the slug by exposing her to his contents.
