A weekly Cartoon Network program/block which showcased the network's original animated comedy series or Cartoon Cartoons. The block would usually be hosted by a character from a Cartoon Cartoon series and interact with other stars and introduce the shows.
It ran from June 1999 to May 2003. A live-action reboot, simply called Fridays, ran from October 2003 to February 2007.
Tropes used in Cartoon Cartoon Fridays include:
- Art Shift: Dexter's design and voice changed in December 2001 to reflect his show's 2001 revamp.
- Crossover: Fred Jones unexpectedly showed up when Edd was hosting.
- Also, the mysterious intruder in the Halloween special turned out to be Aquaman.
- Do Not Adjust Your Set: Mojo Jojo took over the network's transmission to show that he's taken over CCF. At one point, he interrupts the theme song to remind the audience he's taken over.
- The Kids Next Door often interrupted the show in the weeks leading up to their show's premiere.
- Interactive Narrator: Characters would often interact with Mr. Announcer.
- Naked People Are Funny: Dexter once transported himself to the set via a transporting invention. It failed to take his clothes with him.
- Roger Rabbit Effect: The four music videos shown during the Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest in 2002 and CCF's final year.
- Scenery Porn: The intro to the 2003 Continuity Reboot, showing a tour of the Cartoon Network office building with many characters, some of whom weren't shown regularly on the network. It received a slight update in 2005.
- Shout-Out: The closing segments for Mojo and Dexter's 2001 hosting stints are like how Saturday Night Live closed at the time.
- The Christmas Special is filled with references to many beloved holiday specials.
- Story Arc: Some of the hosting segments. For example, the Time Squad accidentally knocking down the six stacked monitors and spending the night putting them back in place.
- Super Bowl Special: In January 2001, with a tailgate party honoring Cartoon Network's Big Game XXIX: Bugs vs. Daffy special the following day
- The Unintelligible: Sheep. Probably why he only hosted once.
