Noods

**Noods** were the eighth branding of Cartoon Network. It debuted on July 14, 2008, replacing the Fall brand. The brand was replaced with the CHECK it era on May 29, 2010.

Made in a collaboration with Kidrobot and Capacity, the bumpers showed various dummy figures (called Noods) interacting with colors and transforming into various Cartoon Network characters from the time. The Noods were based on a D.I.Y. toy called Munny, and through late 2009-early 2010. Their counterparts in Latin America are Toonix.

## Shows

By this time, all the Cartoon Cartoons had ended and were removed from the network. Cartoon Network would also start to produce their own live-action original series and air it on their new live-action block, CN Real. Toonami had also ended after 11 years on September 20, 2008. There were only two series still regularly producing new episodes in this era.

## Trivia

* A Nood can be seen in a cameo on the CHECK it rebrand's stuffed nose bumper.
	+ This is also the case on a Check or Fail bumper, where a Nood was swept with a broom in the bumper.
* A variation of the Noods Flicks intro was used during the first month of the CHECK it rebrand, with some minor alterations to match the rebrand. It was replaced in July of 2010 with the normal CHECK it Flicks intro, as the Noods one was likely used as a placeholder.
* On the Cartoon Network website, a Nood is the default profile picture for accounts on the site. The Nood profile was removed 2018, along with accounts on the site.
* In late 2008, the split screen credits were updated a bit (with a promo on the left and the credits in the right on a colorful background). This was only during evening hours.
* Between June 2009 and May 2010, Cartoon Network rebranded the bumpers in favor of the CN Real block. This rebrand is known as the "Prefuse/Let's Go" era which is named after a song (which is "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones) used in the primetime Up Next bumpers. However, the original Noods bumpers and split screen credits remained until the debut of the CHECK it era.
* From February 8, 2010 to May 28, 2010, there were bumpers with Nood dolls being covered in silver or multicolored confetti, transformed into a Chia Pet, getting spilled with black ink, whiteout, or red paint, and getting covered with dirt by a motorcycle.
* Most of the "Up Next" bumpers from this era show a Nood character posing as the character from the TV show for each show is up next. However in 2010, these bumpers were only used during daytime hours of the channel, as the prime-time bumpers were completely different and were apart of the Prefuse/Let's Go rebrand.
* *Dude, What Would Happen?* was the final program to air under the Noods era as Adult Swim signed on after it at 10:00pm and the CHECK it era began when it Adult Swim signed off at 6:00am.
* During the first 3 months of the rebrand, the "Coming Up Next" bumpers were dubbed by Greg Cipes.
* Over 40 minutes worth of bumpers from this era have been found online, however, some bumpers remain lost media.
* Although Pikachu, Scooby, Bloo and the young version of Gwen appear in the bumpers, *Pokémon*, *Scooby-Doo*, *Foster's* and the original *Ben 10* series do not have their own show-specific bumpers. The reason for this is unknown.
